Building Small Things

Recently, I’ve been spending more time building small projects on my own. One thing I’ve learned is that it’s usually better to keep things simple and ship early instead of trying to make everything perfect. A small project can still teach you a lot about coding, deployment, design, and how people actually use what you build. I’m planning to share some of my development notes and experiments here from time to time. Looking forward to learning from everyone on DEV.

StratCraft and the Physics of Quant: Keeping the Render Layer Away from the Core

This is Part 3 of a 3-part series. Part 1: Your Brain Is a Rendering Engine. So Is Every LLM. explored why LLMs and human brains invite the same rendering analogy. Part 2: More Compute Won't Wake It Up argued that scaling compute doesn't cross the consciousness boundary. This final part asks: what happens when you bring a render layer into a domain that punishes distortion? I have a friend who trades. Not professionally. He has a day job, a brokerage account, and strong opinions abo...

Show HN: AI Tutoring with Visual Grounding

I've always felt that AI tutoring as we see it now is going in the wrong direction. I made Knowable as a way to see if it's possible to have a real AI tutor.

Ask HN: What will be the Chernobyl or Bhopal scale industrial disaster of AI?

It seems we're potentially running into a situation where there may be some kind of large-scale industrial accident (somewhere in the world) arising from more aggressive testing of increasingly capable AI systems. What's the temperature on here of how that might play out (if at all)? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49205192 Points: 3 # Comments: 2

The Problem With Using AI to Build Outbound Campaigns

Now AI can launch the wrong outbound campaign faster now. If you’re not feeding it the right data, it will find the wrong prospects, write the wrong message and scale the wrong campaign. Before launching, find out: → Which companies have already bought from you? → Which companies responded positively to your previous campaigns? → What do those companies have in common? → What problem were they trying to solve? → What changed in their business before they became interested? → Who ...

How do AI founders decide which ideas are actually worth building?

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about a problem that seems common among AI builders. There are so many new AI products, tools, and ideas appearing every week. Finding ideas is easy. The harder question is: How do you decide which idea is worth spending the next few weeks or months building? What signals do you personally look at? For example: New product launches? Community discussions? User demand? Market trends? Competitor movements? I'm curious how other founder...

The future of webapps (and saas)

Im not entire sure of the thinking pattern here - hence the post for broader thoughts. With the world wide (those not in the Least developed countries list) adoption of AI tools / harnesses (claude/codex / gpt) - it got me thinking what would a business app look like in the (maybe not near term) future?🤔 While i cant see that horizon form just yet, I also cant see the world using saas apps in its current form for more than 6-8 years from now... surely it will evolve?🤔 I can appreciate tha...
