Mostly by name association. The LLMs named Grok are good LLMs. The twitter bot of the same name, using those models and a custom prompt, has a habit of creating controversy. Usually after somebody modified the system prompt.

I use grok a lot on the web interface (grok.com) and never had any weird incidents. It's a run-of-the-mill SOTA model with good web search and less safety training

How does somebody modify the system prompt over an x message to the chat bot?

This is possible because the website is made of .html and other multi-media files in directories. There are no moving parts. As long as there's a webserver it's immortal and probably the closest any of those in Heavens Gate will get to the concept.

We really need more websites that are .html and files in directories. Making everything an executable (either server or client side) leads to very short lifetimes.

It’s also blazing fast. Which is so much different from how most websites feel these days. Reminds me of the html classes I had back when I was a kid.

What kind of house had you been dreaming of? I live in SF, and even here $3M goes an awfully freaking long way.

Maybe OP wants a house in atherton next to andreessen.

we interviewed him and passed. he was horrible. it blows my mind seeing these reports of him crushing interviews and being a great dev. the bar for programmers is woefully low. on second thought there's got to be more to this story because he came to us through a recruiter who talked him up big time. did he come to you through a recruiter too? if so then either the recruiter is in on it or he has an army of different recruiters getting him in front of yc people. also you say you worked with him in person but other reports say he was in india. something not adding up here. i can verify my story by giving you the Nth character of the quirky email address he uses. can you do the same?

It’s probably because the interview process relied heavily on leetcode questions. If it did, one can effectively prepare for that and only that and can be overemployed.

I kept wondering why Cursor was indexing my codebase, it was never clear.

Anyway context to me enables a lot more assurance and guarantees. RAG never did.

My favorite workflow right now is:

  - Create context with https://github.com/backnotprop/prompt-tower
  - Feed it to Gemini
  - Gemini Plans
  - I pass the plan into my local PM framework
  - Claude Code picks it up and executes
  - repeat

How does this work?

It’s not clear how context is used to plan by Gemini then the plan is fed to local framework. Do I have to replan every time context changes?

Feedback: I really don't want to give out my email for this. I'm already signed up to enough junk. I've never felt the need to query HN before so while this might be entertaining it's not enough for me to create an account.

Also on a personal note, even though I know every comment I make is public and indexed etc. etc. I find this kind of creepy. I don't like being part of an AI dataset.

Use an anonymous email service. I use proton pass for it and can recommend it.

I’ve worked there. They certainly aren’t all geniuses. But there are a huge number of brilliant engineers there - many of whom spend their lives schleping protobufs around for a fat paycheck.

It’s not the whiteboard interviews that makes that possible. It’s the prestige (especially from a few years ago), job security and salary. And the opportunity to work with other smart people. Google has an excellent talent pool.

anukin · 4 months ago

The current crop of googlers are largely normal and it’s hard to find exceptionally talented engineers until you meet an l7 and up. The faang engineers as exceptional engineers is largely marketing to attract experienced engineers to join faang at below average market rates.

You know, I sit on a few Christian discords and all they do on it is fight between each other (denomination vs denomination). They sit around and combatively go after each other and there is also interfaith beef that happens constantly on those Discords (Muslims vs Christians is a big one). It's almost like ... yeah, I have to agree with you. It's almost like if the human doesn't have a true and good outlet for energy, then bad energy comes spilling out. I don't know what these cats in Kashmir sit around and do all day, but if it's anything like the venues I'm describing, then yes, they are sitting around riling themselves up against the "other".

This was one of the videos of the terror attack that sparked this:

26 dead, and about 17 injured in the terror attack. There were 5 jets shot down in the retaliation. I don't know how reciprocal the retaliation was. This is tricky.

anukin · 4 months ago

5 jets shot down is fake news. There is no evidence of that. It’s a claim by Pakistani govt to appease the domestic population.

I said I'll refrain from replying in this post anymore (apologies dang) but I'll just close it with this at the risk doxxing myself as I may have mentioned the following in another forum.

> But India would never recognize any form of separatism (peaceful or violent) from the Kashmir anyways, and will label it as terrorism anyways regardless

It was never limited to within kashmir. Other parts of India were also attacked over the years.

> But still, I hope you realize that what India sees as terrorism in this case (which means Kashmiri separatism, which again I agree is mostly a Pakistani funded thing) is very tied to Indian nationalism.

> since terror is defined as anything that goes against national unity.

I don't care or subscribe to how Indian or western media defines terrorism. If you see yourselves as freedom-fighter deal with the supposed occupying military force not its citizens. For me terrorism is just any deliberate attack aimed to harm innocent civilians.

I've missed becoming a victim of terror attack that killed atleast 40 people because I was late by mere 15 mins. It took long time to recover from that "What If". No citizen should fear stepping out in their own country. That is what terrorism is for me.

You should probably sit this one out like you claimed you will be doing.
