Show HN: AI platform for various Gen AI models
The tool is in Beta and we're currently testing it with a handful of models. After validations and finding the product market fit, we're planning on launching more models to fit on multiple use cases.

Really appreciate your feedback!
Regulatory accelerationism. I never thought it would come from Apple.
It's not exactly easy either.

In the end I'll be writing <PricingCard :price="product.price" /> anyway. All that Tailwind garbage will be nicely hidden inside the component.
Did Elon ever announce, or even imply, that Grok would be open source?
> It doesn't pay 30% to Apple

Isn't that because it pays 100% to Apple?

I get that there's a competitive advantage to not having to siphon off 30% of revenue to another entity... but how do you actually solve this here? One option would be to split up Apple and require the services division to be an entirely separate company, and maybe that would be a good solution... but if we assume that Apple will be allowed to sell subscription services going forward, and that Apple will be allowed to take a cut of subscriptions going forward, how can this problem possibly be solved?
You are generally right, but Clojure is a bad example, it is quite deliberately a “hosted” language, that can and does have many implementations for different platforms, e.g. ClojureScript.

I knew it was around -- I have written about ZFS several times -- but if it's not in the kernel I didn't think you could boot from it any more, and in recent versions of macOS you can't readily add new kernel extensions any more.

(It is possible, by disabling some of the security settings, but it's very much not trivial.)

An interesting take. I can't really argue with that.

Interesting!
Care to expand on exactly how EU's regulations on antitrust is responsible for what you consider "the death of progress in consumer technology"?

The much simpler explanation is that the USA is a 340 million people market, richer, and more homogeneous in terms of language and culture for companies to develop products, no need to localise products into 30-50 languages to reach all the potential markets, no need to expend on marketing campaings tailored to some 20+ different cultures, with varied consumer behaviour, etc.
Hard to see what harm to competition there is in a market that has steadily grown, with Spotify at the top, during the entire period in which Apple was allegedly harming the market. Spotify doesn’t pay the Apple tax and yet charges the same as all the other market participants.

Going to be very interesting to see what the EU courts say in a few years.
It’s not a physical law - it relates to people - “law” has a wider meaning outside the field of physics.

I recommend watching the talk! He specifically addresses the very points you bring up. Of course reality is messy and people especially so, but Conway’s law is one of very few theories within CS that has held up in replication studies.
Also Turkish and Hungarian. There are too many similarities between Uralic and Altaic languages that at some point in history they were considered a single language family by some experts (conveniently named Ural-Altaic). According to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ural-Altaic_languages

"There is general agreement on several typological similarities being widely found among the languages considered under Ural–Altaic:

head-final and subject–object–verb word order

in most of the languages, vowel harmony

morphology that is predominantly agglutinative and suffixing
zero copula

non-finite clauses

lack of grammatical gender

lack of consonant clusters in word-initial position

having a separate verb for existential clause which is different from ordinary possession verbs like "to have""
I haven't followed prediction contests for a while because, frankly, the field has moved on (more sideways, actually, with LLMs).

When I used to follow, until a few years ago, the winning models were ensembles of ensembles (e.g., RF is an ensemble). The fact that the best single models are ensembles, or evolutions of ensembles, is therefore not surprising.

When dealing with numerical data, squeezing blood from the stones, which is what happens in the latter stages of the prediction competition, is very rarely worth squeezing in the real world.
When the model is not mechanistic but only correlative (almost all models are not purely correlative or mechanistic, anyway), getting to the last decimal place of mean absolute error or a similar metric requires building an increasingly complex structure over which we have little control upon a building that has its foundation of sand. All it takes is a little wind, such as a change in the distribution of data over time-which always happens-and unstable structures are bound to collapse.
In all fairness you are comparing a framework vs no framework. I'd for sure take TW over nothing, but there are other frameworks too.

F1 is competition of (rules-) lawyers, engineers, and drivers, in that order. The drivers are great marketing, but about as relevant to the sport as jockeys are to horse racing. They make a difference on the margins, but it's what's under them that really counts.

But moreover, so what? Why should the inaccessibility of a sport matter to a spectator's enjoyment?
Scala is an absolutely small language. It is just very expressive, but its complexity is quite different than, say, Cpp’s, which has many features.
Mostly because it is only partially documented, on a few RedHat pages. This is where GPT shines because it is able to make something better from the incomprehisible mess of RedHat.

What stands out to me is that this creates another 'key' that the browser sends on every request which can be fingerprinted or tracked by the server.

I do not want my browser sending anything that looks like it could be used to uniquely identify me. Ever.

I want every request my browser makes to look like any other request made by another user's browser. I understand that this is what Google doesn't want but why can't they just be honest about it? Why come up with these elaborate lies?

Now to limit tracking exposure, in addition to running the AutoCookieDelete extension I'll have to go find some AutoDictionaryDelete extension to go with it. Boy am I glad the internet is getting better every day.

Find people to do the distribution whom you trust to be able to recognize people who are cutting multiple times? I mean, you already have to trust them to do things like actually disburse the food to the people, and not skim off 30% to sell for their own profit or whatnot. And if you look into where aid distribution goes awry, it's largely not "100 people getting in the line 10 times each" but the distributors absconding with the aid instead of giving it to the intended recipients.
> Standalone CLI — we haven’t worked on a standalone CLI for the new engine yet, but will absolutely have it before the v4.0 release.

This part is the most exciting to me. Given the rest of the release announcement, I'm assuming this means that it'll be built in Rust rather than embed Node. While I'm not a Rust zealot of anything, I'm very partial to not embedding Node. Particularly when it depends on using Vercel's now-abandoned pkg[1] tool.

The problem with F1 currently is the cost cap. No team can afford to make changes to the car to catch Redbull because the cost cap won't allow it.
Reasonably. Without any specific knowledge, Spotify doesn't actually own the rights to music - it's the rights holders (labels) that chose to make their music available to Spotify under the terms they want.

It's 10 years old at this point, but Sony's leaked contract with Spotify basically outlines that there's no such thing as a 'per stream' rate. Roughly, all the money available was split between the labels (with most favored nation clauses to get them even more money) https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/19/8621581/sony-music-spotif...

Also:

> Contrary to what you might have heard, Spotify does not pay artist royalties according to a per-play or per-stream rate; the royalty payments that artists receive might vary according to differences in how their music is streamed or the agreements they have with labels or distributors.

> In many cases, royalty payments happen once a month, but exactly when and how much artists and songwriters get paid depends on their agreements with their record label or distributor

Besides preventing data races (but not other kinds of race conditions), it is not at all unique. Haskell, OCaml, Scala, F# all have similarly strong type systems.
An initial cost of 16 million, and yearly maintenance of 600,000, for a city of 2.5 million? Per person, $5 initially and $0.25 per year.

That seems incredibly cheap for the benefits. Colombia looks to have a GDP per capita about 1/10th of the US, so if we scale it up 10X...

I live in a relatively cold climate, and I would still be delighted to pay $2.50 a year for this kind of infrastructure development. Heck, even scaling it up 100X seems like it would be worth considering.

Maybe there's a cost I'm missing here, but for a hot city, the AC savings alone seem like they would be worth it, not to mention the 40% reduction in respiratory infections through increased air quality.

Can you reference where it says that regular, day-to-day egress between clouds is going to be covered by this recent change? All the articles I've found so far imply that this free egress will be granted on a case-by-case basis, for egress that is not considered operational data, but rather explicitly for migrating out of AWS for the purpose of terminating your relationship with AWS.
"One area where this already exists is private schooling.

In practice it leads to underfunding of public schools because the people with money are the people with political power. If their kids went to purely taxpayer-funded schools they would be higher quality and everyone would be getting a better education. (I know in the US things are a bit different, and there are are high quality public schools)."

The threat of students leaving for private school and reducing funding for public schools (since their funding is based partly on enrollment) likely causes public schools to be better than if there were no alternative.
Clearly the recent 1.8B Euro fine the EU levied against Apple didn't send a message. Perhaps the EU needs to ratchet it up by an order of magnitude.
I may get rid of my iPhone, this is just horrible continued behavior on Apple’s part. Nothing can be worth the damage this is doing to their reputation
>In the past, Epic has denigrated Apple’s developer terms, including the Developer Program License Agreement (DPLA), as a prelude to breaking them.

>Given that pattern, Apple recently reached out directly to Mr. Sweeney to give him an opportunity to explain why Apple should trust Epic this time and allow Epic Games Sweden AB to become an active developer. Mr. Sweeney’s response to that request was wholly insufficient and not credible.

From Apple’s letter to Epic.

Criticizing defects in a product or criticizing a vendor's misbehavior doesn't make you automatically a "bad actor". A healthy vendor/customer relationship involves having channels where this criticism can be exchanged without putting the vendor or the customer in a bad position, and the criticism results in a better product.

Instead, bug reports go into a black hole because Apple doesn't care, and they especially don't care about game developers, unless those game developers are running casino games or gacha games that bring in a billion dollars a year. Then Apple cares a lot - about 30%.

If a billion-dollar company is so thin-skinned that they can't handle having their policies criticized they're run by children.

Epic has historically brought in a lot of money for Apple, both directly - via titles like Infinity Blade and Fortnite - and indirectly - by enabling the developer ecosystem so more people can release titles on Apple platforms. In the past Epic helped promote new Apple product launches. Calling them a bad actor is ridiculous.
BEM was great, for the early to mid 2010s. Utility classes have still been a big productivity win for me.

Working on an app with a great deal of technical debt last year, moving to Tailwind made a world of difference in being able to restyle components without also breaking styles on distant parts of the app that nobody on the team realized were relying on the same styles.

> (maybe it will shock you most most world doesn't have AC even if its 50C outside)

The solution is, again, more energy abundance so that most of the world can have AC. To paraphrase another HNer, I wish for the average Bangladeshi or Nigerian to have the living standards of the average Texan or Swiss; not the other way around, which would be what I foresee as the result of "degrowth" in the name of saving the climate.

There's virtually no point in the hand-wringing that the developed world engages in with electric cars and rooftop solar, when the developing world, where the majority of people are, are emitting more per capita CO2 emissions year after year. China alone netted over 40GW of coal power plants last year.

> Same could easily go for whole Sahel

The Sahel isn't home to all that many people, because it's not very friendly to civilization to begin with. Countries with territories in the Sahel have quite a lot of people, but that's entirely different.

> I don't see any way to avoid it now

More energy, preferably emission-free, but with emissions if we must. More nuclear power plants. More research into fusion.
Yeah, I would say using components (rather than classes with @apply, as another commenter said) is the main thing. The class clutter is then contained to that component. You make some components and then in most of your code there are only a few classes here and there.

Here's an example from my main work app:

Components: https://github.com/oxidecomputer/console/blob/da07ce01a8fb7f...

I’m of the mindset that API and DSL are more of a continuum than categories. As soon as you write your first abstraction, you’re making a little language.

In the same way, what you listed isn’t a distinct skill set from cranking out code to solve problems. What happens is those skills are now levered. Not the good vibes “leveraged”. I mean in the “impact to success and failure is 100x baseline” sense. If those skills are in the red, you get wiped out.
The upvotes so far weren't organic and I think a voting ring was automatically identified. I'd like to point out asking friends, employes (or anybody) to upvote for a post is not ok on Hackernews.

This seems to carry with it the implicit assumption that if one competitor is growing, no harm has been done.

I don't see any reason this must be true. It's totally possible, and indeed reality, that both harm has been done, and at least 1 competitor is growing. So there seems to be no mutual exclusivity there in real life.

Apple says they did it for no reason other than that they could, not because Epic violated anything.

> “Epic’s egregious breach of its contractual obligations to Apple led courts to determine that Apple has the right to terminate ‘any or all of Epic Games’ wholly owned subsidiaries, affiliates, and/or other entities under Epic Games’ control at any time and at Apple’s sole discretion.’ In light of Epic’s past and ongoing behavior, Apple chose to exercise that right.”

It’s not mysterious. Every time this happens it’s because the thread triggered a flame war filter.
Yes, agree that like any other technology, the artists typically get the short end of the stick regardless of the delivery platform. Even for the megastars, more money is raked in from sources other than streaming. (With notable exceptions, like megastars owning their own masters instead of a label, or blockbuster established songwriters.)
That still assumes the dependencies are first-party. Some well known CVE examples have been how much both macOS and Windows had internal dependencies on Adobe code. Surely Adobe still has a commercial interest in their code even as/when both macOS and Windows dropped the features that relied on those dependencies?

(For other examples, the game industry is full of well known third-party "middleware" like Bink, SpeedTree, and much more because those middleware like to force their logos into places for advertising as a part of their licensing terms. If Windows had opening or closing credits it might be a surprise how many logos might be forced to show up in it.)

From an observation standpoint seeing how Microsoft behaved in the 90's and onward, they (Apple) are behaving very similarly - almost exactly with what MS did for Windows back then. I have a growing distaste for Apple corporate/mgmt each day even though I am surrounded by their devices.
