I mean, this debate is about immigration, right? So current location doesn't super matter, assuming you can amortize the cost of relocating a plumber across several years' worth of plumbing work.

Do your colleagues at work have access to all of your own accounts, or are they expensive tamagotchis?

It seems clear that LLMs significantly change threat model math, but this observation alone does not explain how or why; the asymmetry that you’re describing is a property of pre-LLM software as well.

Each of those examples varies widely, and I don't think most people would treat each of them the same way.

In general when the stakes are higher and the ambiguity of outcome is less clear, secondary signals become more important.

Concretely: I don't give a shit if my housecleaner doesn't make their own bed as long as they make mine; the outcome I need is easy to verify and the stakes are fairly low so the secondary signal doesn't matter very much. Conversely, I care a lot if the therapist I'm relying on to help me manage my depression is visibly unable to manage their own; the outcome I need has a slow feedback loop and the stakes are high so I'm much more likely to rely on secondary signals like "is this person able to manage their own mood successfully?"

Surely that’s not all it takes?

I took the trouble of logging in to HN to call bullshit on this whole thread. The reason these teenagers aren’t building standalone apps is generally because they know that web apps are the future. Moreover, there are dozens of new travel planning startups every year (YC regularly funds them!) and they seem to discover the same thing that Microsoft did—the real reason they stopped updating this magical app—which is that everybody wants better travel apps but nobody wants to pay for it.

I’m sure someone will crack the code someday and I’m glad they will keep trying, but I refuse to accept the premise that $100 Apple developer accounts are their primary impediment.

Shoot me an email if you’d like—I’d be happy to share any learnings from what I built if relevant.

For other public BigQuery datasets I’d certainly consider just adding them to the demo for free—which specific Bitcoin/finance datasets did you have in mind?

For private datasets, we’re looking at adding that functionality to the core Tabby service (that’s the SaaS this relates to). Please email for info!

Are you looking to set it up for another public dataset or your own private one? Either way, shoot me an email (on the demo page and also in my HN profile) and I’ll see what I can do.

Thanks for noting this! The functionality is definitely not perfect, and the opaque nature of the underlying model does not give much opportunity for tweaking. I suspect slightly altering your input might help drive better output.
