One thing I learned recently is that Vanguard Total Stock Market Index (VTI) is float-weighted. That means that SpaceX's percentage in the index is based on the value of the floating shares, not the total market cap. As a result, a

As a programmer, Claude Design helped me see AI productivity tools in a new light.

I find it really strange that there is so much negative commentary on the _code_, but so little commentary on the core architecture. My takeaway from looking at the tool list is that they got the fundamental architecture right - try to crea

I found it a useful overview. My primary question about the client source was - is there any secret sauce in it? Based on this site, the answer is no, the client is quite simple/dumb, and all the secret sauce resides on the server&#

I can't read this article, but I live in a market that Waymo is just beginning to develop (St. Louis). I have seen two Waymos in our area in the last week. I am really, really looking forward to having it available, but I think it

As a small business that started with a one-time/upgrade based pricing policy, and moved to a recurring policy, I don't think it is too late for tailwind to do so for future upgrades/improvements. I am saddened that they la

This article is the second time I have seen a news outlet try to 'break' the vending machine experiment. That is definitely really entertaining. In this case, they convinced the AI that it lived in a communist country and it w

I am surprised this hasn't gotten more attention. I feel like HN used to love nothing more than complaining about patent trolls. Anyway, this article suggestions an action through regulation.gov which, based on the content of the p

I think this is an interesting idea, but the details on how the incentives get aligned, and how graduated students support the university are unclear to me. I am a fan of the idea that universities need a new pricing model that is correlate

The incentive structure of higher education is broken. My gift to the University of Austin is meant to change that—by tying its success to the real-world achievements of its students. By Jeff Yass.

I agree. I read an article a few months ago about how frequent MAID (medical assistance in dying) is in Canada. I am surprised that that has not led to larger scale studies about the dying process. In this particular case, the press relea

I think Steve Ballmer's quote was something like "Measure a software project's progress by increase in lines-of-code is like measuring an airplane project's progress by increase in weight."

I have been reading the book “apple in China” after hearing the author on a podcast. It has fundamentally altered my view of apple as a company. From a consumer perspective, I thought it was a an amazing company. But looking behind the s

I read your comment before reading the article, and I disagree. Maybe it is because I am less actively involved in AI development, but I thought it was an interesting experiment, and documented with an appropriate level of detail. The sect

Wasn’t there a post on HN about someone who made a lot of money with an API that told you the geolocation of an IP address quickly? Maybe 5 years ago?

Final follow up. My wife forwarded your info/website/brief summary to the guy. I don't know if he will follow up, but hopefully so. Best wishes!

Thanks, I will ask my wife to ask the guy who gives the talks (their internal expert in billing matters) if he is interested and send him your email. Personally, I really think your solution has potential to help them, in the sense that th

Just FYI, it’s definitely not fraud, it is just that clinicians don’t know when they need to specifically document things that they are actually doing. They do things, don’t specifically mention them in the note because they don’t know it

My wife is a doctor at a major university. They are under pressure right now and are looking to increase revenue. Changing the way they document cases can substantially alter the billing outcome. Note that these are not errors, they are

Thanks, this is helpful. I tried Claude Code, and thought it had a lot of potential, but I was on track to spend at least $20/day. For a tool that radically increases productivity (say 2x), I think it could still make sense for a VC f

I hear you. I’m almost 50, and see it coming as well. I highly recommend the book Outlive by Peter Attia. Just found it recently, wish I had read it at 37. It has really good ideas on extending your “health span “.

You might find the recent Verge/Decoder podcast with Cohere's CEO interesting: https://www.theverge.com/24173858/ai-cohere-aidan-gomez-mone... The host is clearly trying to push the CEO of Cohere on how all t

A few thoughts: 1. Is your target customer a software developer? It seems like your customer would be a executive, perhaps at a smaller business. You want to get that person's attention. I think open-sourcing is more likely to get d

It looks like in FY2023, Squarespace reported about $1B in revenue, a loss, but about $230M in cash flow from operating activities.[1] It is growing, which helps a lot. Mainly when I look at this, I think "it doesn't seem like its
