Congrats team! Really enjoyed the warts and all video - those fly-away moments remind me of my first drone flights :D Are you mostly software stack focused or designing lots of har…

Super interesting. I need to give it a proper read through with fresh eyes! I just posted a Show HN re my graph storage for research chat sessions - curious on your thoughts!

Hi HN — I built threds.dev (aka ResearchTree): git-style branching/merging for human-led LLM research chats. I use LLMs a lot for research and idea iteration where I want to remain…

Really awesome and thoughtful thing you've built - bravo! I'm so aligned on your take on context engineering / context management. I found the default linear flow of conversation t…

This is cool - I’ll definitely give it a try. Re the patent of voice control, does it really sound defendable? That sounds a bit too obvious to be patentable at the level of “obser…

I love the premise and I felt that a lot in SF. The transport system is not really a complex enough network that I need to be shown routing options. Just wanted to know when to lea…

In those places salary (and good public services) follows respect

The next worst is to popularise its beauty on Instagram :’( . As a hobbyist landscape photog I have a complicated relationship with this

Do you do extra spam filtering? I see the advantage of not always giving out my email (I use Apple relay sometimes) but ultimately, a thing that routes to my email is another avenu…

Clay is expensive for sure. To clarify, it’s more of a data enrichment tool than a sequencing tool.

Do you do much in terms of SEO on the post pages?

Does WP actually provide (1) any more? I built my first personal (photog) website on WP about 10 years ago and it was ideal. I went to do a simple website this year and WP is web b…

I had mixed feelings until I read the quote “better not to waste the credit”. That attitude rubs me up the wrong way for (a) a take what you need if/when you need it type perk and …

Do you have an ICP in mind right now? Reason I ask, is that while hyper scaler to hyper scaler makes sense and I can see that being easy to digest and therefore valuable to many, m…

I think a lot about software for productivity (my own niche obsession is note taking / retrieval). How much do you see this as a people problem? Specifically, I think there’s somet…

No question here, but love to see this, having been the grateful recipient of your support in the past, Peter! Thanks again. (Peter is awesome!)

Hey HN! Sam, Alex and Ben from Invaria (formerly Patchwork Technologies): http://invaria.io . Observability is built on telemetry (metrics, logs and traces). Telemetry data quality…

Ahah. Totally missed that, I will admit. I gratefully accept the pun and will be using it even more going forward. If you're willing to chat on the technical details of that notebo…

Apologies, for all the thought put in to balancing conciseness with completeness, that was a bad miss. Right now we are focusing on Go and Java. We're flexible on logging libraries…

Thanks! Yeah, we're finding a lot of interest from small teams who want to move fast without accumulating tech debt / creating a negative trend between customer count an reliabilit…

Thanks for the support, it means a lot to us! It would be a dream to see our products working together in the near future. Here's to a high-context future of debugging :)

The folk at Patched are doing great work - they are our YC batch mates! Alas, we cannot take credit for that write-up, sadly, nor answer the question re their source code. We are g…

Thanks for pointing this one out, we weren't aware it could do that. Do you use those features yourself? We think it's an important enough problem that there's room for multiple pe…

Glad to hear that resonates. Goes without saying that we get the best reception with people who've literately done manual surges on this. Speaking from experience?

Going to double tap my own reply here and come back to the OTel peice. Do you find there's a lot of effort required in adding attributes to spans through your code? A lot of people…
