I don’t understand, Ycombinator company list is public information list, go buy from any one of them anytime? AFAICT, this is mostly a way for YC companies to get warm intros into potential customers. Almost exactly like a job fair at a uni

YCombinator has its biases, but I don't know of many other investment firms that have a university style, "application" process. It's almost always, warm-intros you need. This Early access network is just an intro system

"radiologists because now they are paid less and because of that people is able to afford more radiologists." But again, the opposite is happening. Radiologist salaries are up 9% YoY [1]. And you can now get your radiology done mo

"you built something that removes the pricey laywer, software developer, insurance policy writer, designer" This statement is untrue. The people have the judgement, the AI does the rote work. The rest is marketing fluff and/o

"Datacenter construction jobs though are very very temporary" They are 5-6 year long builds with full support of the unions[1], let's just put this all aside. The jobs are good. Most people citing narratives around "what

Doesn't matter if they're different people or if it's politically popular. It's how the cycle would go, and in the end the same people will complain about how AI "is only for rich people" (how high token prices

Isn't this true for "all" construction? Nobody says, "The housing construction jobs are temporary, we shouldn't count them." There will always be CapEx to spend.

There seems to be a weird self-fulfilling narrative here: 1) "AI companies will go bust because tokens will cost too much" >> 2) "Don't let them build data centers that will sit empty" >> 3) Demand outst

You're fighting a ghost here, no one's lying to themselves. I encourage you to read some of the other comments in the thread (including mine) to get to the nature of the problem.

I’ve tried it all. No real life partner can be there on the hour (most accountability partner systems work on a daily/weekly basis). “Friends” definitely don’t work. An automated measurement system is the way to go. Like the poster abo

I'm comparing to Opium not for exact chemical effect equivalence but for the level of Government urgency required. There's been a fair bit of work down now to identify clear physiological withdrawal symptoms too[1]. The main damag

Follow-up: Would also love a Rewards tab attached to a certain amount of growth in the habit-score Ala Habitica but with real-world rewards. Great setup so far though!

by pj_mukh 10d ago
I love this. My only gripe is that I wish habit trackers were more evidenced-based for some real accountability. "Work out 25 minutes" is such an easy habit to fudge by showing up late to the gym, but if you know 22 minutes can&#

One of the most insidious realities of the introduction of AI is that we've taken our eye off of tech's original sin - the algorithmic feed forensically designed to hijack the brain. I don't see how it's any different th

YES! I swear I thought something malicious was happening, especially because Claude went down at the same time. https://status.openai.com was totally unhelpful, making me more suspicious.

Yea. This ban's gonna create none of that. Read my other comment in this thread.

If they were using a two year old gpt-4o type model, I'd agree. But now I'm not sure this is a problem. Now digital tools in general are known to be harmful in learning. There's good teachers and bad teachers, there's go

Just so we're clear, phones were already banned in classrooms. "Personal" use of AI within a classroom to help someone like a personal calculator or a personal "cheating aid" was already banned. This bans it from al

Yes that would work out well if by this ban we could also properly fund schools to create enough teaching staff. But you and I both know that's not happening. So on the off-chance one of these tools (that even used AI in the background

The dirty secret on NYC schools is that the upper-middle class tends to send their kids to private schools unless they can get their kids into some gifted/talented public schools. The real experimentation on what tools will and will no

Your complaints are about the algorithmic feed, and civilizational over-dependence on mobile phones and feeds. I'm with you on that and I do wish AI wasn't introduced in that particular environment. However behind it all most toke
