Hi HN community, Eric here, CEO of Voltage Park. To add some context, we're announcing a new cloud consisting of approximately 24,000 NVIDIA H100s. Each cluster has H100 SXM5 GPU's…

It's not easy but it's definitely possible, especially if you can stack the deck in your favor -- line up childcare and appropriately configure your company's work culture. I juggl…

Ah, okay I'm trying to understand your recommendation. Is it because not every tip has a research finding tied to it, which seems incongruous with the title? Or is it that the rese…

Hey supermatt, thanks for the feedback, that's good to know! Is there an alternative wording you would suggest? We meant to imply that the tips were primarily derived from findings…

It’s been a whole year since the pandemic started and video calls are still terrible. We've been doing a lot of research into how to make them better and wanted to share what we've…

I've had good luck with Alpine Linux: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi

I think there's still value in hiding the conversation from the server even if you must still trust the server to not behave maliciously. If some three-letter agency contacts the s…

You can vet who joins the channel by denying unauthorized users the room key. Users who don't have the key cannot post messages to the room. User authentication, so someone is not …

In response to kba: deadchat implements the latter option. The secret room key is shared using the RSA key exchange protocol but you're right, there's currently no way to guarantee…

That's fair, I modeled some aspects of the system after FiSH-irssi, which also doesn't have user authentication or MITM attack mitigation. That'll teach me to post to HN prematurel…

Hey all, great discussion. Apologies for not chiming in earlier, I posted this to HN in the morning and left for 4th of July activities, certainly not expecting it to make the fron…

Sometimes the hardware meets the minimum specs but other issues like buggy drivers lead us to have to blacklist a device.

We considered publishing a list of minimum requirements but we encountered phones that for whatever reason wouldn't work even though the hardware met the minimum requirements. For …

Yeah, we wanted to support the Nexus One, and the hardware meets the minimum requirements but we encountered weird performance issues likely related to the graphics driver.

We haven't blacklisted the Droid X. Can you let us know what kind of problems you're seeing?

We ran into performance issues on the N1 that made for a very poor experience. In testing, the N1 oddly worked fine when we replaced the stock firmware with Cyanogen. That would ha…

Yep, that's correct, critical sections of the pipeline are coded in assembly. Also, Word Lens only works with Android devices that have NEON support.

Yep, we were sad about that one. The hardware is up to spec but there's something about the GPU driver that's causing the N1 to perform poorly.

Hi s_henry_paulson, check the app store for an update, we released 1.2 last night, which should include Italian. We've been short-staffed until very recently, stay tuned for more l…
