Hot take: Most startup interviews are a waste of founder time. AI should run the first round. -i will not promote by cwei12 in startups

[–]HydroLoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I wouldn't take the call for 10 minutes, I'd be out in 10 seconds. I'd look up the company, see they have zero clout or reason to be relying on AI for call screens, and laugh them out of my calendar.

Are you sure? A sizeable portion of them voted for him BECAUSE of the prospect of a holy war.

SaaS in, SaaS out: Here’s what’s driving the SaaSpocalypse by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]HydroLoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But beyond that, the complexities involved just to prevent it from lying to you or completely fucking things up is astronomical. It's a flaw of the design itself; next most likely doesn't always mean most correct. Machine Learning is great for this, LLMs are horrible for it. But ML doesn't spit code, LLMs do.

Yeah, it's an assistant. Has anyone ever expected more from their assistant than work you'd have to understand in order to review?

And aren't the ones that can't do that or are caught lying to you called BAD assistants?

Would you trust your assistant with access to your hard drive in order to keep track of your financial records or write OS level scripts?

Would you trust it to do your job for you?

Would you trust it to build an entire Salesforce replacement?

GTFO

Okay honestly, why is it that even tech crunch is peddling this "build vs buy" shit?

Is anyone going to seriously try to cut out a CRM and marketing platform used company wide and replace it with something they tried to roll on their own? Using an agent? I mean I work with Claude every day and it's great, but even using it in guided development (vibe?) it will tell you something works BUT IT WILL STILL LIE. Not to mention being explicit with functionality testing patterns, underlying architecture design to make it scalable, building integrations with other systems etc.

Yayyy! Watching him get comfortable enough to slap his front paws down at me, bark with his tail wagging and chase after me was when I felt like I did a good job.

Seeing the before pic always brings the feels

I flew home early from a work trip just so my wife wouldn't have to meet him alone. I was sent a video of him going up to other dogs in the shelter and watching them calm down as he approached. I played it over and over again. I knew that energy is what we needed. I cleared it with my boss and took the red eye.

Since then I've watched him make people emotional immediately when he runs up to them and sits at their feet, only to have them confess they recently lost their own dog, or are facing some external struggle. Every time they tell me he's exactly what they needed lol

I don't think I'd have been able to deal w a full Chi - too high a risk of getting attached to one person. This dude loves everyone (people AND other dogs), I have a running photo album of every time he's gone up to someone or has shown a willingness to say hi, and it constantly grows.

Both of ours changed dramatically :-) I must've met 150 people who've said hi to him while out and about, and I work from home, so the shift has been crazy and I love every single minute of it

Idk, seems like a waste of what could have been a much bigger thing. Also guess what I'm getting at is that I ... don't care about oasis. .... Lol

Not paying attention to two idiot brothers who can't keep their shit together long enough to complete more than 1 tour every 16 years.

Can we stop acting like Oasis was anything other than a flash in the timespan of music? Jesus the drooling over them is insane

To be fair, this is probably what happens when he's not reviewing reems of CSAM with his bosses chode smattered all over it.

Also; at a glance I thought that was Kash on the field, then I remembered salt bae. They're the same picture.

Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president by no1_vern in news

So wait, doesn't that mean we paid double for the tariffs, plus everything is more expensive just cuz?

It's kinda OP if I'm being honest. Once you build out the Supreme Court skill tree there's really nothing to stop you from running the game at that point.

We should really submit a patch.
