I'm trying to figure out how a bunch of graphics cards are more versatile than an entire computer. Maybe there's a very narrow use case.
> large companies outsource their innovation or spin off their own startups

Large companies will love this because now they can pay their engineers with options on the "startup" which will most likely fail rather than RSUs on the main company which are as good as cash.
the idea that this forum "makes a point of staying out of YC stuff" is absurd, aside from the money, this site literally advertises for YC companies, on top of many other examples.

Ask HN: What publicly traded companies benefit most from AI replacing engineers?
A disproportionately large portion of this site is engineers / software engineers. A natural idea for engineers anxious about becoming less in demand due to AI is to hedge against that possibility by investing in companies that would benefit from that shift. What publicly traded companies would benefit most from AI reducing the amount they have to spend on engineers?
Exa is an interactive utility. It doesn't make much sense to put it in a script like that. If you were to use rg or ug instead of grep, branching like that would probably be worthwhile, though.
I'm inclined to be sympathetic to the OP, but looking at both products side-by-side, including their API docs, they just seem like two similar but not identical products in the promotions space.

https://vouchery.io

https://rehook.ai

The APIs look fairly different to me from a brief look through the docs. Apart from both using some resource names like 'Campaigns' and 'Customers' that you'd expect any platform in this space to use, most of the actual endpoints seem to be quite different.

Same with the overall set of features. There are some features in common, but also features on both sides that aren't shared. Website design and copy is totally different.

It seems like OP is unhappy that a competitor is funded by YC and did competitive research in their public community Slack channel. I get that, but I see no evidence that anything was directly copied. It doesn't seem fair to tarnish the reputation of Rehook's founders without evidence to back it up. It's not wrong or illegal to build a competitor to an existing product.
Automatic kernel fusion (compilation) is a very active field, and most major frameworks support some easy-to-use compilation (e.g. jax's jit, or torch.compile which iirc uses openai's triton under the hood). Often you can still do better than the compiler by writing fused kernels yourself (either in cuda c++ or in something like triton (python which compiles down to cuda) but compilers are getting pretty good.

edit: not sure why op is getting downvotes, this is a very reasonable question imo; maybe the characterization of kernel compilation as "AI" vs. just "software"?

I was super excited to see this when the Siggraph paper first dropped. For the past decade or so, I've been taking pictures of any room I've lived in from hundreds of angles, with the intention of being able to recreate these in 3d at some point in the future. Gaussian splatting is the first technique I've seen that feels like it can recreate it in a way that feels almost-real.

Once the tools around this mature a bit more, I'm super excited to revisit those old rooms and be hit with a wave of nostalgia.
I find the general aggregation of reviews with key quotes (e.g. that you see on wikipedia) to be extremely useful; you can get a sense of how the movie plays out even from reviewers that you don't know or don't respect, as there's always some objective critiera worth mentioning, and some of those things are important to me and some are not.

Definitely agree with what you're saying, though I guess I'm saying you don't need to limit yourself to a particular subset of reviewers.

Changes to Zig can still be very significant. I found myself stuck between a rock and an hard place when I found out that:

- Zig v0.11 doesn't have async/await, which I needed, because they haven't implemented it yet on the self-hosted compiler;

- I couldn't use v0.10 due to some bugs with comptime in the old compiler, which are solved in v0.11.

Still, while bold, I don't think it's totally unwarranted to tag Bun 1.0. They may have to put some extra effort here and there to work around the language's instability.

This is not a critique of the Zig team, they make it very clear that the language is not ready for production use yet.

> onboarding takes forever compared to most industries,

What? If you mean other industries where people are called engineers is used then I'm pretty sure that getting up to speed in another industry and becoming familiar with the unspoken, unwritten, unconscious rules that make the product possible must take at least as long as in any kind of software based company. Not to mention that there are often lots of constraints regarding what may and may not be done with hardware exposed to the public.

Naive question here: Taking out a block of parking would have decreased the City's bottom line already, right? They wouldn't get to collect from those meters. That would have affected the city's budget. The only difference here is that the City will now have to cut a check, but the effect on the City's budget seems similar. The piece I don't know is whether the amount is different, like if the vendor is allowed to raise rates as much as they want and ask the City to reimburse at that rate instead at the rate the City "would have" chargee to park if they'd retained the ownership.

Yes exactly with the weirdness. Which is why I am leaning heavily into being a proponent of it needing some laws created explicitly for this situation that will clarify what's considered fair activity between researchers, companies, repairers, etc.

Sticking with the example, there is not reason a company cannot have terms that you can't open the walls, while the state also has laws that regardless of what the terms are - you are allowed to open the walls for maintenence purposes, renovations, etc, but maybe you have to notify the company about what you are doing.

It feels like territory somewhere in between the complete freedom of ownership and the total lockdown of renting.

I'd imagine there is a whole legal tug of war that would need to happen to know where the lines would or should fall, but the main point is that both sides are at the table and no one needs to be keeping their activity in the dark because of how uncertain they are about how the law is going to treat them
But CPUC is already appointed by the Governor. And they control the prices.

I remember when Gray Davis got recalled. The prevailing opinion was that (dramatically) increasing vehicle registration costs pushed that over the finish line.

The fact that they've managed to keep virtually all of the outrage directed at the utility companies is an amazing PR success for the Governor.
And yet that "stuff people don't really need" is selling like hot cakes at your competitors, only for a worse variant to eventually show up at Arduino - although it probably won't even be carried by your own distributors. Sparkfun and Adafruit are reinventing the hobbyist ecosystem with STEMMA/Qwiic. Meanwhile Arduino was (despite the failed kickstarter) earlier to market with the competing ESLOV connector - which seven years later isn't even found on your own bread&butter controller boards.

Look, I had fun with Arduino back in the days, but in 2023 you folks simply don't have an attractive product range anymore. When I open Adafruit's website I am almost guaranteed to immediately be greeted by a handful of brand new products which immediately look interesting to me. When I open the Arduino website I have to do a lot of effort to even find a product lineup, and even when I manage to finally get there it isn't at all obvious what I should buy and why.

I own several Arduino products, and I genuinely forgot you existed. For your sake I sincerely hope I just live in a massive filter bubble and am massively mistaken about the hobbyist market.

Scotland is planning a transition to a 4-day workweek for civil servants
It means 83% of reviewers gave it a 'passing grade' which is defined as a 6/10+.

The formulation is a way to collapse precise scores into a binary classification of thumbsup or thumbsdown. So, another way to put it would be 83% of reviewers 'liked it'

Side note, I used to really like Rotten Tomatoes 10+ years ago but I noticed a drop in quality, likely Goodhart's law in action as some other commenters here have pointed out.
Probably any of the large tech companies? Engineers are the most expensive there since they get paid very well there. AI making engineers more efficient theoretically means they would need less of them.

You can criticize something that sometimes works in your favor.
Copyrighted code with a GPL license is copyrighted code as far as copyright law is concerned. Copyright is the basis on which GPL is built. The GPL does not apply to anything that is fair use, public domain, or otherwise not copyrighted. If the author does not have copyright to the work in question, they don't have a right to license it.

This is all to say: the question about copyright and fair use remains exactly the same regardless of license.

Yeah. Also Tetrapak (the company) is lying about the recycling ratio in order to avoid collecting "Pfand" for beverages. If the recycling ratio for a bottle/can/container is less than 70 percent in order to increase the number of container that make it back to the reseller. That's why there's no Pfand for milk in Tetrapaks, but you need to pay Pfand for milk in glass bottles.

That is what the press release was specifically about.

Additionally, I strongly disagree with your assertion. Adding any kind of scanning system like that is technically infeasible unless you sacrifice some measure of security. The government and many nation states have been trying to argue against encryption of various levels (even less than end-to-end encryption) and the ultimate outcome is it being rejected because all of those measures _meaningfully weaken the security of the system_.
Sure, plenty of rules exist. The real test is in how those get enforced.
I suspect one reason why this flopped so heavily with consumers is because heated seats are a well-established luxury feature, in which consumers clearly see a line between the hardware costs and the upgrade price.

When you eliminate that line and recognize that you've been charged for hardware you're not using, it feels wrong to many. I doubt many people realize any feature limiting in something as obscure as a CPU.

So what IS the threat from North Korea to Americans or anyone not sharing a border with them exactly? They won't launch nukes at anything outside their own borders unless Kim wants his country turned into a smoldering crater. The only real threat anyone should worry about is cyber attacks, which could be an issue if targeted at infrastructure, but not something i stay awake at night worrying about.

I find it interesting that 2 years ago people like you would be moaning about how COVID-19 is being used to "scare" people, and we should ignore US "propaganda" about death rates in the US and worldwide. But now apparently North Korea IS a threat and we should all be scared of Kim starting a nuclear war.

> The difference is that in china the connection to the state is much more clearer

I think this is more of a reflection of the structure of the ruling classes: in the West, they are not aggregated behind a single entity, while they are in China. And so their actions are naturally more disconnected from the political regime(s) in the West. Thinking about it more, the "West" itself is composed of culturally distinct blocks ("countries", often with very different background); China itself is much more unified in this regard.

There are, as you said in another comment, insidious forms of censorship in the West.

But they are far from reaching the same degree of intensity than in China. We have yet to see a Western politician displaying a level of immaturity comparable to Xi's[0], when it comes to censorship.

Furthermore, the fact that China relies on "hard" techniques of censorship doesn't prevent it from using "softer", insidious approaches too[1].
