<p>I’m biased (my wife works there) but Fireworks or another US-based inference provider is going to be a better fit than OpenRouter. Fireworks has zero data retention by default[1] and has tools to make it easy to run your existing harness against open models [2]<p>OpenRouter isn’t a provider, they route to other providers, so you would need to specify which ones you’re comfortable with anyway.<p>[1]:<a href="https://docs.fireworks.ai/guides/security_compliance/data_handling" rel="nofollow">https://docs.fireworks.ai/guides/security_compliance/data_ha...</a><p>[2]:<a href="https://fireworks.ai/nexus" rel="nofollow">https://fireworks.ai/nexus</a></p>

<p>[disclaimer: I used to work at stripe]<p>I agree with you in principle but I don't think that market cap is the right metric. Market cap captures a lot of assumptions around product mix and growth rates that have been in Stripe's favor for a long time.<p>The most apples-to-apples comparison is just looking at payments volume and ignoring all their other products. In that case, Stripe just recently overtook PayPal! PayPal is enormous! But Stripe has that compounding growth on its side and GP's argument has become outdated in a short amount of time.<p>This is ignoring the bit about pc which I just disagree with.</p>

<p>I forked my Big Serious Harness™ that models construction projects into a harness for building a vibe coded family assistant. I couldn't figure out how to make the toy operate at toy prices until Luna. Now you can vibe code all the little apps you might want for your fam for like $5 and operate it day to day for a few cents.</p>

<p>I’ve been playing with this with software that needs to work with agents and also without internet at all (we’re serving construction projects that have limited access)<p>Obviously agent access goes away with internet failure but the state doesn’t need to… we use CRDTs and a virtual FS. There’s a toy-ish version of the harness at <a href="https://ourhearth.ai" rel="nofollow">https://ourhearth.ai</a> … if local first is interesting to you I’d love your feedback</p>

<p>This is pretty interesting but I wish it would have been refined in two ways:<p>- The prose before the data appears to be AI generated. Not a big deal but it makes the reader work harder to figure out what's actually being said.<p>- Linear didn't control for their platforms AI changes over the past year. The platform has become much more AI integrated, so a lot of numbers will move. I'm not sure how you do it but this is only useful signal with a control.</p>

<p>We don't have a ton of IoT providers built in right now but you _can_ hook up anything with an API by configuring a proxy with an API token. That will let the agent access the device without having access to the token.<p>Then you can ask the agent to write an app for you! It can just give itself tools to do stuff with the devices or can make a full UI.<p>What it looks like for different members of the family: everybody has access to the same stuff. Everything is syncced between all devices and any integrations you add are available to the other people in the household. Hopefully you all like each other.</p>

<p>Hi HN — I built Hearth for my family: <a href="https://ourhearth.ai" rel="nofollow">https://ourhearth.ai</a><p>Hearth is a shared workspace for a household. We use it for plans, notes, schedules, people, and recurring family rituals, with an AI agent that can work across that context. Kind of like a shared Obsidian with an agent.<p>The cool part is that the agent can also build apps on top of the family's notes and run them inside the same workspace. We have a calendar and a travel app, for instance, and all the apps I use to manage my company's operations are in another Hearth.<p>Hearth is built on Playground, a library we're developing for building collaborative AI coding harnesses. The common primitives are synchronized files, agents, people, app code sandboxing, and a policy layer. Hearth is the family-scale example; we're building Bear for construction projects using the same library.<p>Hearth is beta software! We designed it with isolation and least-privilege in mind, but I recommend that you don't put anything too sensitive in there until the source is out and stable (we're making Hearth open source soon).<p>If this sounds like something you family could use, check it out and let me know what you think!<p>More background: [Hearth: Build your own assistant](<a href="https://bear.build/posts/hearth-build-your-own-assistant/" rel="nofollow">https://bear.build/posts/hearth-build-your-own-assistant/</a>)</p>

<p>It's because they had an AI say it instead of a human who's thinking deeply about what they're trying to say.<p>TBC I love AI and am totally bought in, but human taste and _severe_ editing is still required, just as it would be with any human.</p>

<p>Exactly this. If there is some nuance in the article vs what Claude can tell you, then that's worthwhile. This article is just generated with a specific prompt on style but very little content editing. What's the point? It's like posting the results of a Google search. The prompt would have been more interesting.<p>It's not against the rules to post AI slop here, and I don't necessarily think it should be. But I do wonder how we value written content going forward. There's value to taste and style and editing and all the other human things... there's very little value in the actual words themselves. We'll figure it out.</p>
