Bonnie Raitt stuck in my head, who, by some definition, is a nepo baby, but well before the term was coined. I think the problem is obv not family businesses, but a shrinking pool of opportunities for those without a prebuilt network to inherit (or buy).

This is another way to describe "increasing wealth inequality".

When I stopped having a job I completely lost interest of huge portion of things I used to have interest before. I could connect all of that to consumerism. And I haven't gained any of that interest back.

replied to:

Is it because you could no longer afford these things and had to budget?

replied to:

I quit knowing I am financially ok. (I was likely burnt out, had to leave a place I greatly loved but I still left). I still can't exactly explain this.

Sounds like it was a gut feeling, I hope it works out for you, and in the meantime, you discover new passions. But I understand, unemployment leads to feelings of apathy.

This is really cool site but only drawback I see is 500 character per post limit. I think this should me more like 1500. or there is a limitations type something like I can do 3-4 long post per day credit. whom can i message for this feature request?

replied to:

I am certain will get back to you on such matters - creator of this platform.

replied to:

On some Mastodon instances, they post whole blog posts or massive threads and I feel this type of platform is not the place for such content. But this is clearly personal taste.

Its to replace using central ai for basic tasks like text editing, analysis and brainstorming.

i think the best you can get right now is qwen 3.8 27B. youre gonna need 24 gigs of some fast memory though, i heard theres decent quantizations that can also make it run on 16. im quite excited about open/local models, but theres big investment overhead with the prices right now

replied to:

You might be able to try out colibri, its quite good and the models are a bit better. I am unable to connect any of the cli agents to do things with it though, probably due to context limits, but try it out. OlMoe is the lightest

brings so many issues. It really accelerates. Not only the good parts but also the bad parts. Combine this with a product person that doesn't even know what a refinement is. I'm 41, maybe I'll study to pivot, maybe I'll get into trading. I can't handle it anymore.

replied to:

what is a refinement? honest question - I'm restructuring our refinements now. Like having group of people discussing 5 items in an hour gives little chances any one of them will be addressed properly, unless they are trivial.

replied to:

Architect/lead have a pre-refinement with product to clear 80% of the obvious questions. We share an agenda, devs can ask questions async. In the refinement product presents, we design a solution draft. 15 minutes/item. This doesn't work if product is incompetent and everything is AI-slopped.

A couple of afternoons of the jinn coding harness and glm-5.3 and my taxus static site generator is properly whipped into shape. get-taxus.org It now has a frickin' data model, that's documented, as well as installers for your platform of choice. Try it, break it, I'll be doing the same. Let me know where it broke for you.

How do they get you e-mail address?

replied to:

From my HN profile, or the page I post has a contact, or my github. It’s not that hard.

replied to:

The e-mail is only public if you put it in the about box. Maybe the solution is to remove it from there. But maybe you want to be contacted. In that case, spam would be the price to pay for reachability.
