    I immediately noticed this as well. In many cases, they weren't even LLCs, just names. Maybe my memory is hazy from that period, but I don't recall the clear call to action to requ…

    One major takeaway that matches my own investigation is that Gemini 2.0 still materially struggles with bounding boxes on digital content. Google has published[1] some great materi…

    Honest question, but how do we as a society culturally align on who has the right to space in low Earth orbit? I understand there are treaties that prevent ownership of space in ge…

    I think he's insinuating that with a figurehead such as Sam Altman, that Sarah and Kevin might be more showpieces than given autonomy to operate.

    +1 to Airalo. The country specific ones are super cheap. $7 for 2GB or something like that? I once did the 30-day Global one for I think $20 for 4GB or so. Worked all over Europe +…

    Hey Julien, very nifty! Can you comment on the inspiration/ similarity with the Laravel Debugbar [1]? I noticed your GH says "Laravel by Night" :) [1] https://github.com/barryvdh/l…

    Reading the comments here, largely negative pointing, I couldn't help but recently feel like IBM was really impressive with their work on Quantum System 2 [1]. I'm not knowledgable…

    Perhaps I haven't figured out the best way to query ChatGPT, but isn't the magic here that your approach implicitly already understands all the tables/ relationships that exist wit…

    I found myself wanting something like this the other day trying to query some BigQuery tables I was unfamiliar with. With that being said, from my vantage, the value of a tool like…

    Seeing "Powered by GoDaddy" in the footer seems juxtaposed to a company that supposely developed an AI chatbot (even if just forwarding requests on to ChatGPT).

    What's the cross section of users willing to configure this setup (which requires the Mac app host) that want these "restricted" applications that also do not want to jailbreak the…

    Mind speaking to the monetization component of your app? It's not readily visible from your links. I ask as I've built a similar tool that supports portfolio rebalancing and helps …

    Made me think of the game "Escape from Tarkov", which has been out for years and has a subset of a mall-setting map called "IDEA" using the same blue/yellow color pallette (1). [1]…

    Ask HN: If you're in a 100% remote role, should you turn your camera on?

    Adding a currency that everyone can agree upon as the "intermediary" prevents you from needing to hold huge sums of random currencies. For example - you're a bank in the UK so your…
