Necessity is the mother of invention. SV companies get way too comfortable when they have enough in the bank to stay running more than three months.

I strongly recommend trying this for programming tasks. It is strong (not Fable strong though) with a much better “persona” than Opus, and very different blindspots. If you flip be…

You are factually wrong here almost completely. Wrt Graohene the problem isn’t the politicians making announcements, the police assume you are a criminal if you have Graohene and a…

Do you think you would be allowed to sell such a phone to normal people in any serious quantity? (I know HN people get delusional about using laptops as mobile phones, but here is …

No?

They were showing notices about doubling pricing during american working timezones a week ago, so it seems likely to be demand related. Their v4 flash is brilliant, and I expect th…

Honestly your reading comprehension is not good today. They said if the government “drive the process of forking” which could mean encourage a group of academics to do it, or a com…

And this is why everyone gives up on doing anything while standing around complaining that no one does the right thing. What is so pernicious about the EU approach is the enthusias…

You couldn’t epitomize the problem more if you tried.

You need to parse the word mentality in context. The root problem here is the EU is culturally broken, and until some grand disaster will simply decline ever further with everyone …

BMW behaviour is perfectly representative of the EU mentality. As is your comment. It is basically “someone else should do this properly and I will take the benefits” but not actua…

Do what the Chinese did and fork Android. The EU has enough tech talent to do it, but the political and managerial class lack both the strategic ability or the willingness to adequ…

Even by 2015 the noise in Google was “the Chrome OS model is better” with reference to them centrally controlling everything. Andy Rubin was no saint, on so many levels, but when h…

You are obviously missing the GOTO statement in your list but the other part is hobby projects tend to be architecturally small. The moment you have more devs architecture becomes …

There is a meta comment here which is there seems to be an implicit assumption in the finite amount of possible work and progress. It seems that in history we were bounded by not e…

Maybe it is me, but for a random Wednesday in August there have been a strange amount of big moves today. Normally you expect quiet or nonsense.

I invite you to write such a trivially flexible workflow system, and see what happens to the performance of your user interface. They needed someone over there with the power to sa…

There is probably good money in upgrading the polygraph security clearance ritual for the 21st century. It doesn’t even really need to work of course.

I think this is actually marginally less evil than Meta Tribe. The whole neuro space is dangerous and while people go on about “AI safety” the world will trend towards this madness…

Jira is how it is because almost any product that grows to be that flexible will develop the same problems. They failed to rearchitect it to something suitable for the inherent fle…

Is the subtext that Demis was trying to block what Dean etc wanted to do and so they had to leave Google in order to do it?

That is actually cool. Maybe it is my bubble, but the experience people are having with Anthropic particularly is motivating a big “get this stuff back under control” effort so whi…

So you can run it off the public internet with no sneaky external dependency on cloudflare, slack etc? And it would be functionally the same? With the same performance if you put e…

They also provide cover to those doing the dirty stuff which drives the need for their other products. Not remotely paranoid.

Sandstorm without self hosting has no interest though. (Edit: see below, where the creator states it _can_ be run locally) Buzz looks like a more reasonable direction than this doe…
