On your second part: Many of the most valuable companies in the world (who, incidentally, are spending the most money on frontier model inference), already have "the expensive part…

Thank you to the HTMX-folks for keeping software fun! I've been a happy HTMX user and Grug essay forwarder since it first made the rounds here on HN. This was an instant purchase :…

And another nontrivial one, in compound indices it’s really important that you order your columns in descending selectivity order. I.e. the column with the most unique values shoul…

If you have a horizontally scaled app (many 100s of API servers and async workers) you’re also probably going to need a connection pooling proxy like pgbouncer! with separate pools…

> It's different now and children are being encouraged to transition. They aren't just told that some are naturally uncomfortable with their gender, but that conforming to a gender…

I’m curious, do you personally know anybody who’s gone through gender-affirming-care? For me it was a really confusing issue until I became close friends with someone whose childho…

Disclosure that I work for Graphite->Cursor->??? :^) FWIW, Origin is owned by the Graphite folks inside of Cursor: the project was announced by Tomas, Graphite co-founder, at Curso…

Amazon is a large Anthropic shareholder (>5% of the cap table). I think it’s impossible to interpret the actions of their executives here without considering this information.

Is there an explainer for people who are broadly familiar with the DB space? It sounds like you're building an equivalent to Vitesse for Postgres, but it's not super clear from the…

At this point I have a workflow that is fairly rote. I've yet to use a model newer than 4.6-1M-XHIGH that I trust to earn a higher ROI on that workflow, and not for lack of trying!…

I would encourage you to look into the open evals of some of these benchmarks (find one that actually is open-data, this is itself a good challenge), read the results generated and…

Actually anecdata I gather on my job from myself and coworkers is the only benchmark I trust anymore, because it so heavily diverges from the “benchmarks”.

at risk of quoting myself... :) > By offering frontier inference closer to cost *and* open-sourcing everything that's sub-frontier It's two prongs! One prong is that their frontier…

A big part of the frontier labs abilities to charge 80% gross margins on inference is having the cornered resource of frontier models. If that inference becomes popular and valuabl…

How many failed foundation model training run cycles do you think these companies can tank before the bubble pops and deepseek/etc. catch up to frontier quality? If Ant, OAI, etc. …

It’s not easy to buy such a large tranche of shares at a fixed and fair price in a single transaction! Both parties get something they want this transaction. Alphabet gets the Berk…

> why don't we try to protect human dignity and move towards a more humane future? I hear and have a lot respect for what you’re saying, but I’d like to propose that we thoroughly …

Of course, I’m not trying to dismiss gains from harness, actually the opposite. But the narrative that 4.Y is an improvement over 4.X is essential to keep the model training music …

Eh, maybe for the more luxurious properties? But plenty of landlords are operating on tight margins and they’re not legally allowed to raise rent by more than some measure of infla…

As a New Yorker I'm thrilled. LVT/Landlording Tax next pls :) Edit: Actually, as a property tax of nonprimary residences, is this not also effectively also a Landlording tax? Will …

I'm curious to poll HN on this issue. Do you feel like we've had meaningful/noticeable gains in terms of your programming workflows between 4.5 and 4.7? My 2¢, I personally feel li…

One tangent, I believe sev-0 is actually "critical" (at least as how I'm used to reading it), and the higher you go the less critical something is. IMO as a github-watcher, I think…

FWIW, I'm not convinced that chart is necessarily an accurate representation of pre-acquisition reality. It would really surprise me if GitHub did not have a single sev-0 pre-acqui…
