This means that, in practice, it functions more like an agent than a streaming text model. That in turn breaks trajectory analysis which not only makes distillation harder, it also makes it much harder to improve your own harnesses and agents built on top of the model.

That was lovely, thank you for sharing.

It seems the core of the game is correctly understanding the victory function (time to complete refinement of all resources) and then applying bottleneck theory to correctly optimize each stage.

Definitely a joyous little ten minute romp.

foam.ai | Founding Engineer | $180-$300k | 0.25%-2% | SF (onsite) | Full Time

foam is building a new observability stack that captures, traces, and links everything, purpose-built for AI. We use this foundation to feed complete context into AI to automatically identify and root-cause breakages across entire systems.

* We’re a five person team. Perla (CEO) was the 5th engineer in the consumer facing team at Affirm (pre-IPO).

* We've raised $9.9M in seed funding from Khosla Ventures, Max Levchin, The House Fund, and South Park Commons

* We’ve got active betas at Orb, Braintrust, Plaid & TogetherAI.

We’re looking for engineers who want to take point and work hand in hand with Perla on one or more of our core systems:

1. The Telemetry Engine - Think of this as a major extension of OTEL custom built to capture signals that have historically been inaccessible to humans.

2. The Root Cause Analysis Engine (aka Solver) - This is currently an agent swarm, but evolves every week in search of better and better root cause analysis.

For a bit more on the role, check out: https://foam.ai/careers

If putting an end to awful on-calls and building a system that can deliver self-healing software is exciting to you, send an email to luke -at- foam dot ai with your resume and mention you came from HN.

Daybreak Health (YC) | Lead Salesforce Engineer | USA Only (legal reasons) | Fully Remote (and staying that way) | Full-Time

I’m trying to hire for a Lead Salesforce Engineer and I am just utterly failing. I know I’m looking for a unicorn, but I’ve gone looking for unicorns in other roles (frontend, backend, data) and done well enough. How do I hire a kick ass salesforce developer?

I need them to do the following:

* 50% working with our Operations team to optimize and extend existing processes within Salesforce

* 50% working with our Engineering team to couple Salesforce to our existing Application (think making salesforce call our APIs at the right times)

The rub here is that I need someone who is technical enough to drive the salesforce components in the right way (maintainable, well structured, etc), has the devops chops (within the salesforce ecosystem) to stand up a scalable and workable SDLC for it and has the administrator experience to define the permission sets and profiles required to keep the Operations team moving but not breaking things as everything else happens.

Here’s the exact job description: https://daybreak-health.breezy.hr/p/70b654404f64-lead-salesf... (we could flex the salary a bit for the right candidate)
