    Congratulations on the launch. The propeller demo looks good :) BTW, customising gears (which are then laser cut from sheet metal) is also a common request from untechnical people …

    The grab app shows un-skippable ads. And some taxis even have ads "based on your interests" playing on a TV in front of your seat. I found their "no marketing" ;) to be almost too …

    The thing that nobody talks about is how many EU citizens already are working on frontier models, just inside US companies. That’s why the prohibition was so crippling for Anthropi…

    This is an interesting approach with integer programming and then using an explicit solver. It’s probably very slow, but you only have to run this once and it produces the mathemat…

    Ask HN: What's KugelAudio's (YC P26) Moat?

    I originally started lurking around on HN to better understand how startups work. I just saw the KugelAudio (YC P26) launch announcement and I truly don't get it: 1. There's plenty…

    The last 2 LAN parties we didn’t play anything that didn’t work extremely well on my AMD CPU + NVIDIA GPU Pop!OS Linux workstation. And I didn’t expect: VR streaming works flawless…
