Congratulations. 28MB is impressive, I've not played around with actual queries/outputs. I'm wondering what is the overall thesis/plan here and where exactly the innovation lies? W…

In case if any Physics learner finds this useful: Susan Rigetti's list is great if you are planning to do a late life PhD in Physics but not if you are re-learning it on the sideli…

It is honestly hard to predict. We are currently in everyone is building website/mobile app/gadget era of AI. Very few places are questioning what is worth building. Short term, we…

That is the ideal solution. I'll tell you an incident that seems from a black humour novel. A state government in one of the highest populous state in India decided to make biometr…

I hear you, and I know every project being dissed here is not going to be Dropbox. Perhaps some projects deserve the reality check they get. Though I still believe that HN crowd te…

Thanks for taking time to write this. HN is showing (expected) dismissing attitude towards this idea. That tells me it might work :) ! Folks here are wildly overestimating (or igno…

Though, Modular should have been the team to do it. My theory is that they raised too much money too soon. With that kind of money, you get anxious investors waiting to see some ma…

Well spotted but I don’t think it’s bad trade off. A beefy postgres instance (with standby configured), couple of worker nodes running dbos / river directly as a library backed by …

Yes and yes. DBOS self hosted , pointed to same application DB. Systems like these (durable execution) fit well with agents or LLM driven on demand workflows. You might be attachin…

Well done! I couldn't understand how you are building reels out of it via the agent. Is it some sort of AI tool calling that takes image links and builds a reel via some video edit…

Not Op. I have production / scale experience in PyTorch and toy/hobby experience in JAX. I wish I could have time time or liberty to use JAX more. It consists of small, orthogonal …

Bifrost is the fastest LLM gateway on the market. Built in Go with careful garbage collection, it adds just about 11 microseconds of overhead at 5,000 requests per second (with 4,1…

A fellow Godot enthusiast here. Love to see Godot being used in commercially successful indie game like this. In 2021-22 time, I tried (unsuccessfully!) building educational video …

I'm honestly in two minds on this one. On one hand, I do agree that valuations have run a bit too far in AI and some shedding is warranted. A skeptical position coming from a compa…

Paras, as a an Indian founder, I've watched your journey for few years now. You are an inspiration and a thoughtful leader. Your "Mental Models for Startup Founders", is a very wel…

Andy's collaborator Michael Nielsen has a nice blog post, "using space repetition system to see through a piece of maths"[0]. He makes a point that the idea is to commit more and m…

I was going to say the same thing. For some real world estimation tasks where I don't want 100% accuracy (example: analysing working capital of a business based on balance sheet, a…

Disagreeing here! I think we often overlook the value of excellent educational materials. Karpathy has truly revitalized the AI field, which is often cluttered with overly complex …

Most countries in South, South East Asia have made exams as a make and break deal for every student. In India, there are so many kids staying away from home in cities which are jus…

Spot on! Lot of voice assistants have been following "if we could" line instead of "if we should line". For many straightforward applications, clicking through well defined interfa…

Overall there's very little to understand from the page in terms of motivation, sample examples etc. But, one interesting thing: The math module allows choosing between radians, de…

Daniel Fleisch has written a series of books "Student Introduction To.." for maxwells equations, waves, tensors. All his books are famous for explaining everything step by step and…

`why rock the boat` is spot on! Most large organisations eventually go into a mode of maximising the free cash flow for shareholders. I guess more or less this is by design. Invest…

Naive question. In my part of the world, board meetings for such consequential decisions can never be called out on such short notice. Board meeting has to be called ahead of time …
