The harness does not matter that much, it's getting leaner every cycle.

You've confused what I wrote, we are in agreement. The fact codex found the vulns means that mythos almost certainly will.

I’m highly confident that prior exposure is irrelevant at this point. I work on vulnerability detection at a hyperscaler.

It was found with gpt 5.5 7/10 times it’ll be trivially found by mythos

These things are not nearly equivalent. It’s writing code, it’s not software engineering.

I never made a claim that it's ineffective, just that it's of limited effectiveness. The diminishing returns kick in quickly, and it's not applicable in more domains than it is applicable.

The latter, and I would disagree that “this works and scales well” in the general sense. It clearly has very finite bounds by the fact we haven’t achieved agi by running an llm in a loop..

The approach of “try a few more things before stopping” is a great strategy akin to taking a few more stabs at RNG. It’s not the same as saying keep trying until you get there - you won’t.

The amount of paths in the wrong direction are infinitely more than then number in the right direction. You'll quickly realize this doesn't actually scale.

As you describe this is largely a cash flow business and the bulk of the value should be extracted via dividends to the benefit of major shareholders.

A tech enabled business needs gross margins north of 70% to be attractive from a leverage standpoint, unless revenue is scaling very rapidly. Without these there’s no attractive exit opportunities.

Sorry to break it to you but 10% profit on 6.5M rev is very low and will absolutely not fetch a high multiple, especially considering this is a mature 10 year old business. This is not a high growth business and you may have grown overly rose colored glasses by thinking it could be priced as one.

There are border towns where some workers do daily crossings. Without refund infrastructure in place it looks like this would add $250/day fee for all of these individuals

The whole thesis OP is making is that this isn’t really true, evidenced by real world behaviours. Electron apps have some of the highest market share, even the worlds most popular ide is an electron app.

The amount of people who won’t adopt based on pricipal is exceedingly small.

It is mentioned, there's an entire section named "The HEY Experiment".

The other part of the average is the 200m+ monthly active users who can't seem to find the uninstall button.

I think your benchmark may miss the mark a bit if this is your angle.

20m records and 9k/sec isn’t very impressive. I would imagine most prospective customers have larger workloads, as you could throw this behind Postgres and call it a day. FWIW I was interested but your metrics made me second guess and wonder what was wrong.

More than the team with no product. There's a huge difference between large entrenched businesses and early-stage startups. Turnover in large corporations is huge, the team has turned over multiple times already, they can do so again.

An early stage company that barely has any code? Yes, in that case, it's the team that matters because they haven't fulfilled the vision yet.

Are there any difficulties in obtaining TN Visas related to the stage of the sponsor company?

More specifically, is it feasible for a Canadian operating startup to open a US entity and employ Canadian engineers under the TN Visa category? This would be an early stage non-VC backed company, but profitable and paying above prevailing market wage.

Current user of Timescale for events processing, with heavy use of materialized views for rolling aggregates.

Is this a use case that you think Hydra would be competetive on?

It compiles to SQL, so in since sense yes it is schema dependent. As mentioned in the article DBT itself has no understanding of semantics, so it’s not enforced by DBT directly but if it doesn’t compile to working SQL expressions it’s obviously not going to work.

In simplest of terms, it's a templating and orchestration layer for data pipelines which which compiles purely into SQL expressions.

The millions of websites designed without using them. This insight was lost at some point, even if it seems obvious in retrospect.

The early grants are worth far more, especially so here.

Yes

This is not the same Wiz.

This doesn't really make sense, there would not be ROI to cater to a market of users who are choosing to already use the product for that use case when it's not supported. They _are_ ingrained in the ecosystem. It is pretty clearly targeted at making this more mainstream and mass-market.

5 minutes of training time should go far

I have an inverse issue where I get uncontrollably tired from warm colored lighting to the point of needing to nap.

ENTERPRISE baby. Business tiers are almost universally more expensive than individual tiers.

I think it's relatively easy to prove that the main motivation for the majority of employees is not mission alignment, simply by the fact that salaries within OpenAI are in the top few percentile of the field.

I don't believe this is necessarily in conflict with the mission though. Employees are mercenaries, it's up to management/leadership to enforce the mission and make sure employees contribute to it positively. The employee becomes forcefully aligned with the mission because that is the key to their personal enrichment. They are paid to contribute, their personal beliefs are not all that important.
