Why was this the default behavior in the first place?

Can AI forecast elections better than experts?

How is this a serious zero day if it requires local code execution to run?

Probably not as much effort as writing books and creating art the models were trained on.

Grok 4.5 is $2/$6 there's no model anywhere close to that cheap

People are very scared of messing up authentication and getting hacked. They would rather offload that responsibility to a third party and not think about it.

Why isn't production scaling to meet demand? Shouldn't the market address this.

New comment by il in "Webtool: Let AI agents control your live Chrome session with CDP"

il — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 17:43:20 +0000

I've been working on webtool because I got tired of battling captchas in Playwright and cloud browsers. For most tasks, it's a lot better to just let the agent work in a real, live Chrome browser that is not detected as a bot at all.

Plus it's fun to watch the agent click around and figure out how to do things.

I like the agent-first signup via API. Is this meant to be distributed as an agent skill?

Tool search pretty much completely negates the MCP context window argument.

This is largely symbolic, but it does send a clear message.

Like it or hate it, there is a sea change happening in how governments treat cryptocurrency.

New comment by il in "NYC Election Board re-counting votes after 130k are discovered from a test run"

il — Wed, 30 Jun 2021 16:31:37 +0000

I think even for those who do not subscribe to any election fraud conspiracies, this will seriously shake confidence in the election. If a mistake like this went by unnoticed until the results were posted, what other monkeying about with the database goes on?

This is old (Jun 16). Facebook has already revealed the details.

New comment by il in "Ask HN: Any success stories with token-based employee incentives?"

il — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 14:41:16 +0000

The main value of token compensation is liquidity. People frequently underestimate how long it will take until exit and their equity becoming cash.

Tokens for a good project are liquid immediately on numerous exchanges, and likely will be worth at least something. Don't neglect the time value of money.

The solution is simple: always treat each round of funding like it's the last money you'll ever get.

A corollary is that your SaaS product needs to be priced in a way that enables sales (typically >$5K ACV).

Most people on HN exist in a very different world from the unbanked population. Credit scores mean nothing to these people. Many can't even get approved for a checking account and rely primarily on cash equivalents and prepaid products.
