This is the first time I've encountered this. I want all footnotes to work this way! Otherwise I'm off into a rathole and never return. Love it.

FTA “Hence the Series A: we have some computers to buy.”

Maybe not adds in, but wraps around. You could accomplish much of this with fairly simply bash scripts.

You could accomplish all of it with claude -p (headless mode).

Admittedly I might be missing a flag or two with claude, but how are multiple loops and comparisons of solutions done with just headless mode?

You have building blocks like "--resume <sessionId>" and "--fork-session".

For example, one thing you can do is curate the context of an "immutable" conversation and then reuse it as a base context for other prompts.

It's just a prompt.

Via skills.

Indeed.

Where are people finding time for these sort of projects.

They bootstrap a workflow with a prompt then build an orchestrator off that then prompt it to be converted to an opencode plugin and then prompt a website to be generated advertising it and then prompt a tool that reviews hacker news feedback and automatically incorporates feedback into next generation of the tool. At the end of the week they go to their manager and complain they are out of tokens for the actual job they are being paid for.

Haha, not far off. Only difference is I'm not spending my tokens at work. I use this on a side project video game that I'm developing.

xcode's new AI using claude is not performing as well as claude code for me. I've tried a couple times and quickly fall back to using vscode with xcode sitting in a window beside. I don't mind the copypaste of warnings and errors since my workflow is less vibe and more directed/iterative.

It’s been done before. Send the glassholes to Molotov’s in SF. https://sf.eater.com/2014/2/26/6272945/heres-the-video-of-th...

There was also something subtle that happened, and it seemed to happen quite rapidly, a little over a decade ago. "Maker" started being used to mean more than just 3D printing hackers and started to refer to engineers, and then others "making" things.. but the watering down wasn't the end of it, it became a way to praise a certain class of employee. The resentment that generated (say, sales, marketing, etc) and the bizarre uses of "Maker", I believe contributed to it's demise.

Surprised it’s not mentioned, but important for the sake of patents too

> Surprised it’s not mentioned, but important for the sake of patents too

Is this still true these days? I thought the US moved to first-to-file in the early 2010s.

It can still be important as a record of who was involved in the invention. Every inventor, no more or less, needs to be credited.

This isn't meant to be cynical. But, two of YC's success stories, Stripe and Coinbase, has a stable coin product.

Stablecoins have their uses. I'm not saying never touch crypto. But the question is what is the point of stablecoins in VC funding specifically? People don't seem to have good answers.

YC companies are constantly spending the money they get from YC right? Why get money, then put it in some stablecoin, only to then immediately cash out on salaries or whatever?

How does that make any sense to the company? Who's out here wanting their salary in stablecoin? And who among those want that and can't receive dollars and then turn them into stablecoin?

There's a sliver of talent that won't have access to the US banking system, but I can't imagine that making it worth putting up with risk + txn costs of stablecoins for the whole company.

This only makes sense to YC, to try and prop up interest in digital assets they heavily inveterate in.

The majority of humans are losing interest in digital ephemera South Park-WoW guys are desperate sell them on, otherwise South Park-WoW guy might have to work to live not just shill hallucinations like a priest.

Two of the fastest growing YC companies are crypto companies built on solana, Kalshi and Axiom. I'm pretty sure Axiom was the fastest to $100m in revenue, ever.

Making money doesn't make your thing not a scam.

To be fair, not all graffiti on this site is non-consensual. For instance Jeremy Novy's koi fish. After living in Soma for time, everything else was a recurring pain mostly in terms of time I had to spend on it.

By definition graffiti is non consensual. If there is consent then it is a mural.

I love the incorrect book quotes on the “Mitsu-Bisho” pencil!

On the Komet too which makes me wonder if book quote use standards or their stringency were different back then/in other countries.
