New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What metrics do you track when building agents?

Ask HN: What metrics do you track when building agents? 2 by rstagi | 0 comments on Hacker News. The main metric I look at is inference cost, which is a pretty good indicator when something's off. However, a couple of days a go I discovered we were loading ~300 tools due to a bug, affecting both costs and accuracy. It was going on for some time and I didn't realize it by looking at the costs, cause it got hidden by other changes I made in the same period. Now I started tracking that and some other metrics, but it made me wonder what else I might be missing. So: what are you tracking? Any tips? Curious to hear

New ask Hacker News story: I can build anything, but only the void sees it

I can build anything, but only the void sees it 4 by urbanogt5 | 9 comments on Hacker News. In the past month I built 10+ different ideas. Some games, some SaaS, some free tools. But I get no one using it, other than friends and family. I need to find someone that can cover this part. Anyone up for building cool stuff?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: New employeer not providing equipment

Ask HN: New employeer not providing equipment 7 by gl9 | 14 comments on Hacker News. I am joining a small ~10 person startup in SF next week as a full time W2 employee. I am a software dev. The work is in a very regulated space (ITAR/ SOC2/etc) type stuff. My manager (who is the CTO) texted me to bring my personal laptop in on the first day. This already seems like a red-flag and if needed I will not install any software or visit any sites beyond payroll. How should I handle this situation if they refuse to provide me equipment. This is a in-person role.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: America turns 250 today. What does it mean to you?

Ask HN: America turns 250 today. What does it mean to you? 6 by abixb | 0 comments on Hacker News. Figured I'd post this Ask HN given the semiquincentennial celebration since the Declaration of Independence. A surprising amount of what this site cares about grew up here in the US: the transistor, the internet, the idea (or the trope) that two people in a garage can take on corporate behemoths, the venture-backed startup model, etc. And a lot of HN has a personal stake in the place -- immigrants (me included) who bet their careers on a US grad degree and a visa lottery, citizens who built companies here, people abroad who work for (or compete with) American firms every day. So on the 250th, I'm curious what America means to you, personally. Some prompts: If you immigrated: what pulled you here, and has it held up? If you were born here: what do you hope the country looks like at 300? If you left, or chose never to come: what did you see that the rest of us might be missin...

Claude Fable is useless for bioinformaticians 3 by iqbal1980 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
