Can confirm. I did a clean-room implementation of this in Rust just by reading the paper. Will update once they release the reference implementation. https://github.com/ptaranat/zeromem

I use GLM 5.2 via Neuralwatt and it's gotten so cheap I wouldn't mind cancelling my personal Claude subscription if work gave me one. I've spent 374M tokens this month and it only cost me $18 on energy-based pricing.

I pre-gen all my plans with Opus 4.6, and if there's an outage, I use pi with Kimi K2.5 via Fireworks. It's comparable to Sonnet.

I went down this rabbit hole last year after buying a carbonator. Rather than mixing a bunch of oils together, I bought my flavors from Bakto Flavors (based in NJ, USA) which is founded by Dr. Daphna Havkin Frenkel who did her research in f

I once had a conversation with a potential co-founder who literally told me he was pasting my responses into AI to try to catch up. Then a few months later, another nontechnical CEO did the same thing, after moving our conversation from SMS

Small business owners work 997 and you don't see them incessantly posting about it. That's the catch, though. They own the business. Founders can subject themselves to 996 all they want but it's a failure of management to exp

I interviewed with an early stage pre-seed startup with a very young team, like 25-27. I was interviewed by someone way more junior than me. According to the recruiter, in 3 months, I've made it the furthest and he told me this startup

I have been exclusively doing this in the past year, selling my services as “hardening vibe-coded prototypes for production” or “helping early stage startups scale”. In the best cases, they were able to reach funding or paying users. Archit

One blogpost I found on HN completely leveled up how I use LLMs for coding: https://harper.blog/2025/02/16/my-llm-codegen-workflow-atm/ Having the AI ask me questions and think about the PRD/spec ul

That's the core challenge in designing a system like this. Echo chambers and comfort cages emerge from recommendation algorithms, and before that, from lazy curation. If you have control over the recommendation system, you could delibe

I've noticed a lot of people are converging on this idea of using AI to analyze your own data, the same way the companies do it to your data and serve you super targeted content. Recently, I was inspired to do this on my entire browsin

This was a big confidence booster for me as when I first started learning English, people would complement me on how well I spoke English, but I took that as my accent was still detectable. It's only been in the past 5 years that peopl

BizBuySell. However, according to my broker, most business sales never make it to market. It's mostly through email lists and connections.

Yes, this is really only viable in a major city. I wouldn’t consider doing this without at least 200k population in a major metro area. The area I’m in is 600k people with a heavy Laptop & Lattes ESRI tapestry segment. Basically it’s fi

Funny enough I am also planning to convert this cafe into a bookstore/board game shop. The best way to find these numbers is to work in a similar shop or be friends with the owner. Naturally, during business brokerage, you will also ge

I can’t really talk much about this yet because legally, until my E2 visa is approved, I can only be in the owner role, not operator. Right now, I pay my friend to be the manager. Once I am in the clear, I’d be happy to open source the proc

The business sale was a transfer of assets sale, so the previous owner taught me everything.

I got burnt out as a SWE at a startup from stress and health issues. Bought a cafe and turned it into a bookstore cafe. Annual revenue is around 600k. Seller's discretionary earnings is around 220k. In hindsight, I should have done thi

Serious in the sense that, "I'm going to put some effort to investigate what is going on, seek out teachers and resources, and apply my knowledge through daily practice". The actual meditation itself is very playful but focus

I've had several, intense Kundalini experiences! I know for certain that I can achieve a classical Buddha awakening in this lifetime, as long as I take care of myself.

Like this https://www.mctb.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/%C3%91anas-a... I let my manager know that there may be times where I have sleep issues. Sometimes it lines up with a 2-week sprint cycle. When I

It's very hard to describe the quality of this flow state or concentration. But I can get completely absorbed in work that I forget to eat or sleep. Food hits different. This article comes close to describing how I experience "Att

Totally understandable. Complete awakening isn't for everyone, and highly realized people are often an obsessed minority of deeply devoted yet tormented people who were willing to do anything necessary for liberation, including "d
