I predicted with 100% certainty that this company would fail at launch. What I failed to predict was how long it would take. I’m not bragging, everyone should see it coming.

You don’t need PII to prove you are not a robot. See Privacy Pass. And I don’t know how a website is somehow going to verify your PII as not-fake, anyway.

Likely you just use a shit web browser.


How a website is going to identify your PI as non-fake? Isn't that the entire business model behind Persona which has been in the news for leaks? (There are a few websites I've had to verify my if I with them for)

the way to pass captcha as a bot is to pay off the company that makes the captcha by using their bot.

cloudflare browser run, superb. no captcha.


You mean you set your useragent to match the one of CloudFlare bot and that avoids captchas on sites?

cloudflare make a remote browser, browser run. you can use it as an API or as an agent tool.

i can let opencode merrily browse the web and it doesn't get stopped. a bit like a drug mule bribing the cops.


i have privacy pass and i really can't make it work.

every time there is a captcha it makes you authenticate. so it's the same thing as the captcha.

maybe i have it misconfigured


Naïve, willing to work for nothing, likely a nepo baby with connections, arrogant, and with a sense of entitlement what will help drive a jumbo liquidity event. They’re the perfect prey for VCs.

The guns needed for the U.S. revolution came from the French. Most U.S. farmer guns were shit for actual warfare.


That's true, but the battles of Lexington, Concord, and Menotomy (And by extension, arguably the entire Revolution) were literally started by the Brits trying to confiscate their materiel. This was long before the French became involved.


Rice will be genetically modified for higher temperatures, almost certainly.


I thought I saw somewhere this happening, but as you know, this is a "workaround", not a fix.

Unless we stop using fossil fuels we will have a lot more to worry about. But we get a hint on exactly where we are going with the Iran war. The largest worry in the West is not the war, but price of oil raising. IMO, we should let it raise sky high to force a quick move to renewables.

As things are now, we are heading straight to +2.5C with no end in sight.


Until it can’t be.


Is it better for AIs? That’s the only reason I would care.


I've had mixed results.

Most models don't have a 100% correct CLI usage and either hallucinate or use some deprecated patterns.

However `jj undo` and the jj architecture generally make it difficult for agents to screw something up in a way that cannot be recovered.


Try using https://github.com/danverbraganza/jujutsu-skill

This is enough of a command reference that with it, agents are able to work with jj pretty well.


I've gone all in on jj with a OSS framework I'm building. With just a little extra context, the agents have been amazingly adapt at slicing and dicing with jj. Gives them a place to play without stomping on normal git processes.


The cli and a few concepts have evolved with time past the model's knowledge cutoff dates, so you have to steer things a bit with skills and telling it to use --help a bit more regularly.

I find it reasonably good with lots of tweaking over time. (With any agent - ask it to do a retrospective on the tool use and find ways to avoid pain points when you hit problems and add that to your skill/local agents.md).

I expect git has a lot more historical information about how to fix random problems with source control errors. JJ is better at the actual tasks, but the models don't have as much in their training data.


Given that Raft was rederived simply because the authors couldn’t originally understand Paxos, I’m not surprised to see this.


The FDA didn’t push up clinical trial costs, thalidomide did.


So you are stating that there has been no change in how clinical trials are required to be run, and the associated costs, since the changes immediately following the thalidomide catastrophe?


Agents increase the velocity of OpenAI and Anthropic; whomever has the best in-house agent moves the quickest.


Any publicly available evidence to back that up? There have been post-exit blog posts from OpenAI employees on HN before and it did sound like the only black magic they use there is that many employees work 16 hrs a day during launch of new features. I know that some current Claude Code devs are doing interviews where they claim that they use Claude Code extensively but they clearly have a conflict of interest while they are still employed at Anthropic, so it would be like asking a barber if you need a haircut.


Look at the number of features (PRs) being pushed by these companies.


The talent that was originally driving SpaceX is gone. And I don’t mean Elon’s brain. I mean the real engineers designing the rockets.


The talent has mostly gone because the US is fiercely politically divided, and musk changing teams from democrats to republican pretty much meant his whole staff were forced to jump ship because he no longer aligned with their values.


Do you have any evidence of this? I don’t think there have been a lot of high profile departures in the past few years.


Every single xAI exec left...

Same with most top Tesla execs since he changed political sides.

That's pretty high turnover for a company with RSU's tying people in seats


We're talking about SpaceX, not Tesla or xAI, which only very recently joined SpaceX.
