Really interesting product. A ton of these sandbox companies recently but it feels like no one has really nailed the experience for application builders yet. Really excited to try …

I’d also argue it needs to compile fast/ have fast static analysis. Feedback loops like this are super helpful for agents

disclosure: i run a startup that will most likely be competitive in the future. I welcome more innovation in the code forge space but if you’re looking for an oss alternative just …

Maintainer here. In the case where a human edits a previously AI-generated line we simply track that as a human-produced line of code. We are thinking of making this a distinct sub…

Hey HN! We’re Oliver Gilan & Ben Warren and today we’re launching Mesa ( https://mesa.dev ) into public beta to help large engineering teams review code more effectively. There are…

Do you have examples of any of these ideas being implemented? In general I agree, there’s so much opportunity for these “knowledge augmented” algorithms

Curious how this scales. Just tried this with the test dataset and it was probably the slickest deduplication experience I’ve had

Is there any way to even use this today? I’ve been waiting for the server and file system components to be open sourced for a couple years now

This seems weirdly hostile. He laid out a bunch of points but you’re grabbing on to this one to make it seem like he’s using classic corporate-speak. Do you find it so unrealistic …

What was the breakthrough and what have we learned? I'm interested in reading more about this

This post is a bad analysis. > While some will praise Satya Nadella and hero-worship Sam Altman, breaking OpenAI into two parts will slow down momentum for LLMs and research while …

Can you be more specific about what was “solved” in the 90s? The platforms upon which apps are run now and the technologies as well as the expected capabilities of those apps have …

I am negative for the Celiac blood test (got tested three times) but I am absolutely allergic to gluten. Starting three years ago randomly I became allergic and severely ill for mo…

Companies have been gathering data for over a decade now and storing it in massive data warehouses with often no plan for how to effectively use it. I would not be surprised if tur…

Inflation has been remarkably low since 1980 though… and that graph doesn’t mention prices. Theoretically if more is being produced then you don’t need wages to keep up to afford t…

Whenever I read articles like this I have a lot of sympathy and also a little confusion. Maybe it's because I DO have an adblocker but this just isn't my experience on the web. It …

Don’t know why this is being downvoted when it’s objectively true. Parent says wealth inequality is less in Europe therefore being “poor” is more desirable which makes no sense. Th…

I actually completely agree with the author. I remember coming across my first unless statement while trying to find the source of a nasty bug and I spent probably 5 minutes just t…
