I believe it's calculated based on voting equity, of which Sergey owns significantly more than 230b.

Same here, this is an incredibly useful thing to have in the toolkit

Looks great -- always wished the admin panel came with more configurable bells and whistles. I've been exploring Quarkus recently ( https://quarkus.io/ ), and it has a Dev UI with …

I'm building something similar, but as an Excel add-in instead of a standalone product. In real use-cases, it seems that by far the hardest part is figuring out the right represent…

I'm always a little hesitant to use D1 due to some of these constraints. I know I may not ever hit 10GB for some of my side projects so I just neglect sharding, but also it unsettl…

I get this a lot too, have made most of the Gemini models essentially unusable for agent-esque tasks. I tested with 2.5 pro and it still sometimes devolved into random gibberish pr…

I've found that this phenomenon exacerbates inequality too: If you attend a well-known college that bigco's hire from frequently, there's a lot of knowledge floating around about i…

I went to a basement party/rave recently where the DJ was live-coding strudel, was incredibly cool to see in person. people would watch them type out new lines in anticipation of a…

I think performance takes a hit due to WASM, and I imagine pricing is worse at big qps numbers (where you can saturate instances), but I've found that deploying on CF workers is gr…

HN's AI hate-boner has always been a bit off-putting to me. This is a technology forum, and it's pretty much the biggest advance in recent technology that has potential implication…

Google seems to be the main foundation model provider that's really focusing on the latency/TPS/cost dimensions. Anthropic/OpenAI are really making strides in model intelligence, b…

This post has the same issues as NotebookLM for me -- overdesigned, overengineered for what at its core is a simple and valuable UX. NotebookLM: obviously useful, but I just wanna …

I used ANTLR recently to prototype a spreadsheet formula language -- backend was JVM so it was reasonably easy and batteries-included.

I always find that my regular crud apps kind of grow into something not-so-cruddy due to a single feature (realtime communication, bursty usage profile, large batch jobs to precomp…

Should the other players not have also raised VC money if it was such a differentiating advantage? Perhaps they should have sold even more equity than Figma did and raised more mon…

KV caching is priced and managed quite differently between providers as well. Seeing as it becomes a huge chunk of the actual tokens used, wondering if there's an easy way to compa…

Gemini models seem to be much less predictable than Claude -- I used them initially on my Excel 'agent' b/c of the large context windows (spreadsheets are a lot of tokens) but Gemi…

'Agents' are just a design pattern for applications that leverage recent proper scientific breakthroughs. We now have models that are increasingly capable of reading arbitrary text…

It's all unstructured text (title, company, company size, experience, skills, raw text, etc.) and LLMs are pretty bad at assigning numerical scores in a vacuum. To make it work, we…

Cool stuff! We use a similar process internally to rerank and filter our cold outbound lists. We just use an off-the-shelf model as the judge, give it a custom criteria, and let it…

I do find that having inference happen ~50% faster is much more valuable to my workflow than a single digit accuracy increase. If I'm going to have to check that the changes are co…

Not sure how active it is outside large US cities but I've been using Beli ( https://beliapp.com/ ) for the past couple years. It's essentially friends stack-ranking restaurants th…

I've been using Temporal recently for some long-running multi-step AI workflows -- helps me get around API flakiness, manage rate limits for hosted models, and manage load on local…

Hi HN! BreakRoom is a tool that lets you upload files, then uses the information in them to draft messages, responses, and other types of documents. I felt like existing AI tools r…
