This is why I moved to Mercury. It’s good tech.

My land is adjacent to public land and yes we have people coming through all the time. There is a forest road that becomes a private road and cuts through our land and people use it. We could put up a fence if we wanted but we don't want to... we're high enough up the hill that as long as people are being cool it's nbd. There are signs and most people (not all) are respectful.

I've found that living next to public land is an insanely undervalued luxury. There's very little I would trade it for.

I’m doing exactly this (in TypeScript) for buildings / construction. It can’t really do woodworking (not designed for that) but I can confirm that it’s an effective strategy for spatial assemblies.

Evals or it didn’t happen.

Snarky comment aside, I am very interested in how we evaluate the performance of these systems and what kinds of work match best with different approaches.

I didn't read it this way. I think I equated it most to "culture" in current companies. A culture that fosters excellence is necessary (but not sufficient) to have a great company. There are also many types of cultures that have been shown to work (ie there's not one right answer).

The article argues (and I think I agree) that how you choose to incorporate agents into your work will be a differentiator and most great companies will have a unique take on it.

With the one I’ve made, it’s best effort. We record whether or not tool calls have succeeded and if the agent dies without knowing whether or not the call succeeded, then when we resurrect it we tell it the state is unknown and it can either inspect the resource or try again depending on the side effects.

Your position appears to be based on crude production and drawing an equivalency between Middle East crude and US crude. They are unfortunately not equivalent. I agree that it’s amazing that the US doesn’t wholly depend on the Mideast for oil, but until we can process our own crude as cheaply as Mideast crude can be processed, strife in the Middle East will still push energy prices up.

Did you play with TLDraw at all? I’ve had some success with it but haven’t been using it for that particular use case.

I think the parent was referring to hosting the entire NPM registry, not having a project that uses NPM. In that case there's substantial duplication from version to version.

[disclaimer: I used to work at stripe]

I agree with you in principle but I don't think that market cap is the right metric. Market cap captures a lot of assumptions around product mix and growth rates that have been in Stripe's favor for a long time.

The most apples-to-apples comparison is just looking at payments volume and ignoring all their other products. In that case, Stripe just recently overtook PayPal! PayPal is enormous! But Stripe has that compounding growth on its side and GP's argument has become outdated in a short amount of time.

This is ignoring the bit about pc which I just disagree with.

I forked my Big Serious Harness™ that models construction projects into a harness for building a vibe coded family assistant. I couldn't figure out how to make the toy operate at toy prices until Luna. Now you can vibe code all the little apps you might want for your fam for like $5 and operate it day to day for a few cents.

This is pretty interesting but I wish it would have been refined in two ways:

- The prose before the data appears to be AI generated. Not a big deal but it makes the reader work harder to figure out what's actually being said.

- Linear didn't control for their platforms AI changes over the past year. The platform has become much more AI integrated, so a lot of numbers will move. I'm not sure how you do it but this is only useful signal with a control.
