New ask Hacker News story: Reality of Commercial AI World from a 16 Year Old's Perspective

Reality of Commercial AI World from a 16 Year Old's Perspective 2 by VanshAgenticAI | 0 comments on Hacker News. Let me tell you who I am first. I'm 16, a mad scientist. Started coding and AI at 12 — before ChatGPT existed. Built AI voice assistants in 2022 when nobody knew what AI was. Worked 10 hours a day at 12, building anonymously. I HAVE 1 THING: ASK ME TO BUILD ANYTHING — IMPOSSIBLE OR POSSIBLE — I WILL FIGURE IT OUT. AI, MATHS, SCIENCE, WHATEVER. THAT'S IT. At 15, I started selling AI automation and voice agents. Cold called, cold emailed, worked hundreds of hours for 4 straight months. Never got a single sale. Fine — selling wasn't my strength. Then I tried building real products — made an OpenClaw clone that ran on low-end laptops, built AI researchers. I'm not a salesman. I'm the guy who if you say "build Claude from scratch including model training" — I'll somehow do it. But "build something cool" — I freeze. Still, I tried...

Where'd Codex Go? 2 by aleshh | 3 comments on Hacker News. I just clicked the "Update" button in the Mac Codex app, and the app quit and deleted itself. I went to download it from the download page, and it downloads a copy of the ChatGTP app. Am I doing something wrong, or is this OpenAI unifying things? https://ift.tt/h01Me8p

New ask Hacker News story: Who has been caught out by this anti-pattern from Google?

Who has been caught out by this anti-pattern from Google? 2 by Monotoko | 0 comments on Hacker News. I travel quite infrequently these days, but I've been caught out by this antipattern from Google a few times... You search for a hotel, find one at a reasonable price, and go through to the website and book it. The wiser among us may actually glance at the dates and realize Google never asked us when we wanted to stay. Unfortunately I'm not wise, and got caught by this same thing a few years ago - usually it's in a string of bookings (flights, taxis, etc). It's like something in my brain assumes if it's not explicitly asked then it's forgotten about even though the dates are of course important... Anyone else, or is it just me who struggles with this? I've looked around and no-one else seems to complain despite this going for years

New ask Hacker News story: VentureBeat Events in San Francisco?

VentureBeat Events in San Francisco? 2 by BriStoller | 0 comments on Hacker News. Has anyone been to one of the VentureBeat events in SF? I've gone to the smaller NYC events and they were really technical. There is a larger event in SF next week. Curious if anyone went last year. Is it worth it?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How you manage local long lived research projects and LLM's?

Ask HN: How you manage local long lived research projects and LLM's? 3 by ripplefringe | 1 comments on Hacker News. TLDR: Do you have a pattern or structure for doing long-lived research or non-coding projects using LLMs? I was kind of inspired by this hacker news article where someone collected data to solve their fatigue problem: https://ift.tt/8AK567b A similar but smaller I did was to collect nut-free restaurants to eat in Chicago. So I had articles, reviews, emails, phone calls, all sorts of stuff. I found it very easy to just use Copilot as my interface and I just data into it over and over and asked it to organize it. https://ift.tt/Yvrkb0s This seems like a common thing where people would be working on a longer-term research or data collection task where you use the LLM to answer questions or help you accept the data. Does anyone have a standard format for this? Or an example that is working for you?
