> 9. Build An Explainer Video Library

I am not sure this is great advice. I am sure it makes sense for certain things, like UI or animation. But, generally reading text is more efficient than video watching. It's also easy to seek to the important parts of a text than a video when you are in a hurry.
I don't think this has any legitimate use, does it?

It seems this is just to support cheating, misinformation and to generally make the web worse.
I’ve also been running unbound for a few years now without issue.
You have to explicitly turn the radio on in your firmware to use it. Thus no turning off is necessary
Anyone gonna mention Network Cities and the relationship to YC leadership or we just gonna ignore that?
Yeah. Initially funded by DARPA, grown by near-zero interest rates. I doubt it would be anything close to what it is today without being connected to the rest of the US economy and its global dominance.
Can anyone share insight into how this is different from consistency models? The insight seems quite similar?
I think offering financing & working with utilities to further reduce the price will be a key unlock for more affordability.
They did used to make immigrants change their names when they arrived, though -- if they were too unlike "regular" English names.
This only backs up appliances plugged into it.
So you're implying it bears a cryptographic signature?

What I'm saying is if I told you it did you would say "but how do we know Ms. Carr's workstation wasn't hacked by Ukraine?"

Sorry man, it's already in front of a federal judge. Your "just asking questions" period has expired.
Love the product concept, and I’m all for more open/auditable models of autonomous driving, rather than closed-source dealer models that could be highly variable between models and years. If we’re going to do autonomous driving assistants, comma seems to be my preferred method - on paper, anyway.

For the owners in thread, maybe someone can explain to me the LTE modem requirement of the hardware. WiFi I get (easier to transfer records/video/data), but as someone still tooling around in a 2010 Honda and reluctant to buy into modern spyware-equipped vehicles, I’m wary of adding anything with cellular connectivity that could “phone home” without my consent. If the comma is fully self-contained and wholly offline, then that’s a huge selling point for folks like me who want privacy in our vehicles and a non-networked device that’s harder that’s harder to compromise remotely, and it’d definitely influence my future purchasing decisions so my vehicle choice supports these sorts of aftermarket modules.

One other suggestion (and honestly something I ought to write an essay on at some point): stop using Discord for support/community stuff. I’m seeing a lot of companies offload their forums/socials/support into Discord, and while I see the appeal on paper it’s not ideal for those of us who want to compartmentalize interactions based on goal (e.g., socialization vs vendor support). Just a personal nitpick of mine coming from some degree of community support background and well aware of Discord’s flaws and privacy shortcomings.
Learning the basic operators of the language seems like table stakes.

Choosing one of world's spoken languages over others seems to be the opposite of inclusive.
There is a MID (Microgrid Interconnect Device) built into the battery which opens when there is a grid outage. During an outage power is only supplied to devices plugged into Pila.
I hope it dramatically speeds up as AI improves. ASI is likely only scalable route to solving the medical issues that plague humanity.
Weekly GNU-like Mobile Linux Update (09, 10/2025)
In 2023, Mozilla reported $37,574,982 in investment income, accounting for over 58% of the non-profit’s total revenue for the year. [1]

Is that not enough to maintain a browser?

EDIT: this figure is for Mozilla Foundation only, Mozilla Corpotation makes about 9 times that amount (I assume most of which comes from Google). My point still stands though: $37M isn’t a terribly big amount of money, but it’s still a lot.

At my last job we had a version of our on-prem product where the company sold a super extension for a version that was supposed to go out of support. We had a small team (I think three people) whose only responsibility it was to ensure that version was supported, pipelines worked and we're ready to ship a big fix at needed. That was their responsibility but as long as that was covered they were allowed to work in their spare time on what they wanted as long as they saw value for the company in it. It was a good bargain. Everyone else was grateful the small team was doing the dirty work and the maintenance team was delighted they could use the remaining time working on things that had always bugged them, do research, etc. This was a few years ago and I forgot details but I vaguely remember that we got some really cool improvements and research from them. The people on that team also were really excellent and self-motivating which helped make this a success but also more expensive.
Yeah, they’d walk out because that’s a bad-faith example of a pitch.

A good sales person would talk about any self-driving feature built in (eg lane following) then mention the car is compatible with third-party self-driving products like Comma.ai.

Just like how they talk about brakes, wheels, exhaust on sports cars - all areas customers may mod after purchase.
I think it did much better on safety in some tests (no I don't have sources, going from memory :/), but is less capable by design on some more trickier scenarios. Basically pretty much what you would something like this to be.
I've worked in this industry (LVADS and artificial hearts) and met Dr. Timms personally several times.

He and his team have been working on this for decades. It's real, and good stuff.

Congratulations to the whole team, this is the culmination of decades of effort from thousands of people.

Well done
When the undocumented APIs change, is the AI going to know? Is it going to test hundreds of APIs continuously and then do what? If the API changes aren't something I need to worry about, maybe the AI still will, and so then I have to babysit the AI when it cries about something I don't have to worry about. I have tests for the undocumented APIs. That's really all I need. AI has been more of a miss than a hit for me, it generates far more noise than signal in my experience.

If it works for you, that's great, but I wouldn't trust it with anything important. It would still require a lot of my time to vet the fixes it produces, and from what I've seen (mostly from Copilot) it almost never produces an acceptable result - but then I'm probably outside the typical use case for coding AI.

My company pays for AI but from what I've seen of it, I'd never pay for it for my personal projects.
But that's the point. You are trying to deny that Ukraine's aerospace industry was a component of the larger USSR constellation of design bureaus. The Ukrainian bureaus were important, yes. But not the most important. By and large they were the B team. Still highly skilled, mind you.

In the 1990s and 2000s the funding dried up and they mostly fell apart. They were sold to China for parts.
Disclaimer: I'm a founder at Gravwell, a log analytics startup

I agree, even when applicable LLMs are relegated to analyzing subselected data, so logs have to go somewhere else first. I think understanding logs is brain intensive because it can be a tricky problem. It gets easier with good tools, but often those tools are the kind that need to be used to build something else that solves the problem, rather than solve the problem themselves (e.g. building a good query + automation). I think LLMs can get better at creating the queries which would help a lot.

We started Gravwell to try bring some magic. It's a schema-on-read time-series data lake that will eat text or binary and comes in SaaS or self-hosted (on-prem). We built our backend from scratch to offer maximum flexibility in query. The search syntax looks like a linux command line, and kinda behaves like one too. Chain modules together to extract, filter, aggregate, enrich, etc. Automation system included. If you like Splunk, you should check us out.

There's a free community edition (personal or commercial use) for 2GB/day anon or 14GB/day w/ email. Tech docs are open at docs.gravwell.io.
As someone who previously worked on both Firefox and Chrome, it's not. The mandate of modern browsers is too large.

But Mozilla is definitely wasting a lot of money on stuff that doesn't contribute to their mission.

And end up with two shitty browsers instead of one? I don't follow
I always thought it's karailius (karalius means king in Lithuanian)
Isn't the pitch for Tesla FSD quite similar? You still have to accept all the liability, and take over if software cannot handle it or tries to do the wrong thing.
Generators in this price point are loud, low power, unreliable, & even require maintenance.
I love DIY solar and have built a few of my own systems too, long before Pila. I posted something called $200 solar self sufficiency to HN many years ago in 2017 and it got me onto this train. Will Prouse is the best, agreed!
From 3.2% to 3.7%? That's not much.
I have not but this is a good flag and will think more about it! i think newsrooms have spent a lot of time thinking about how to translate online first material to print and vice versa so there may be some ideas to draw from. The freedom and creativity that comes with bespoke online first projects does cause some challenges to easy exporting to print versions.
You could do that, except that you would register the handler before the network code executes. Then, on failure, the network code would run the handler that waits until activity resumes, then restarts.
It's pretty simple - europeans are more frequently going to shop. US/AU/NZ drive and do a bigger shop to last half a week or so.

Also most of Europeans live in apartments - your power cables are underground. In suburbs, putting cables are underground is too expensive and overhead wires are easily damaged during storms.
What you describe sounds a bit like Graphistry:

> This isn’t a claim that major LLMs do all (or any) of these tricks. That said, I started working on this because I accidentally discovered an instance of text fingerprinting while debugging a byte-sensitive bug. That’s when I realized: it’s time to say goodbye to (at least these kinds of) fingerprints for good.

Are there any examples of this being used?
does 'a lot' mean like almost half?
> This is not a new product, though...Battery power inverters with AC and solar input are a popular class of products.

Often "totally new product" == bad (or more accurately, "first mover" == bad)

I think there is a misconception that totally new products make the money. But the second (or later) mover is often in a better position [1].

Dropbox was not new. File sharing existed prior. AirBnB was not new. Vrbo existed prior. Ethereum was definitely not the first crypto.

The iPod was not new. MP3 players were popular enough to be found at most electronics stores.

My rule of thumb is I want competitors. I want a product category to have some existing popularity (so I know there is money to be made), but not universal.

I think we're far from battery storage being universal in homes and world-wide.

So, if someone can become the iPod or Dropbox of battery storage, that might be a $100+ billion company.

I don't know if Pila is it. But the idea of a battery mesh, instead of the all-or-nothing powerwall sounds interesting.

I would love to be able to build up my home battery storage 1-kwh at a time instead of financing a giant battery all at once.

I can especially see that having value in middle-income countries.

Edit: Adjusted my 10-kwh statement to 1-kwh to make the example make more sense.

Great question, our device has a metal case that offers much better thermal performance than your typical camping battery.

Yes, you can boil a kettle with it!
How will you power your fridge when the car isn’t home?
Generally if you are a tourist, on a tourist visa, doing touristy things in a place where lots of tourists go, there will be multilingual (probably at least English) support. If you're going deep off the beaten path into China or Mexico or Russia or some other part of the world where tourists are rare and the local language is all most people know, then you should be think about how you are going to function in both ordinary and exceptional circumstances, including "what if I get arrested?"
It doesn't seem like https://comma.ai/ has sources either.
Now compare how much that same trim costs...
Was going to comment exactly this - funny that it's a literal car salesman.
I feel like browsers are more important to keep competitive than search engines. They dictate the standards that the whole web conform to, while search engines really just redirect people to the same sites. There’s also a much larger cost for users switching browsers than search engines. I still depend on safari as I can’t pay my rent on Firefox, while I can switch to kagi, yandex, or ddg immediately.

Additionally, a bad browser will always be more harmful than a bad search engine due to the shear amount of things it interacts with. Breaking the default search engine agreement is good in theory, but seems worse practically.
This is definitely what his voters voted for. They'll never be on the wrong side of the government.
I think the implication is that the faster a customer is scanning items, the harder it is to keep an eye on them to see if they're doing it correctly.
Ah, yes, I should catch up on those one day. I thought you might be referring to Return to Castle Wolfenstein or Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. :)

The Art of Formatting Code
>It looks beautiful. But I honestly don't understand what the market is.

People who are willing to buy several individual UPS devices for appliances but aren't willing to pay an electrician to install a grid cut off switch so they can power their whole house with a slightly bigger UPS.

Honestly, I could see someone buying one or two of these for their fridge and another for their home office or similar, but they are competing with existing companies that sell a similar product without the UPS feature, like you see nearly every youtuber advertise.
The way I put it was meant to be slightly amusing, but let me put it a different way for the sake of discussion.

For this purpose, I like to mentally model a country (or territory which decided to hold an election of some kind) as a collection of points in a multidimensional space of values or policies which are up for election. Each point represents where a voting person would stand according to their personal principles.

Now, I’d like to postulate that the act of voting corresponds to finding the center of the cluster of points. In this model, it’s easy to imagine the scenario where a very large portion of people (and possibly even the majority) are deeply dissatisfied with the result because they are too far on many dimensions from the center that was elected. This is actually further exacerbated by many factors in real life like the asymmetry of information between people.

The obvious solution would be to create more cluster centers instead of one fat cluster that leaves everyone not very happy. This corresponds to states or provinces within a country in the real world.

So coming from that line of thinking, it leads me to believe that sometimes to maintain a democracy, you need to cut the outliers away to move/make the center such that people are happy with the result. Essentially you enforce the will of the majority by cutting away the minority until it is no longer a tyranny to do so.

Of course this is gross simplification of real life. It is ignoring factors such as external threats, instability, unpredictability, information availability and so on. However, I think it’s useful to think this way for many purposes.

Addressing your extreme example of a criminal, that’s a point so far off in the space that you definitely want to cut it out of the system.
Mr Rogers was a different show for sure.

And he had a specific use of language that was incredibly deep and mindful unlike Daniel Tiger.
You mean present it non-deceptively without exaggerating to the detriment of the user.

What would the developers tell their partners or friends in confidence? Are their claims in confidence supported by evidence that they made efforts to validate in proportion to the magnitude of their claims? Does that differ from what they say commercially? If so, then they are communicating deceptively to further their monetary interests.

That is not to say that other manufacturers are not communicating deceptively all the time as well, but complaining about truthful statements because they do not exaggerate to the detriment of the user for the monetary benefit of the manufacturer is silly.
Mangroves aren't large or particularly tall or strong trees. Climbing one to sleep in would be difficult for even a child let alone a large group of adult men.
Pila can only back feed on-grid. Pila has a built in Microgrid Interconnect Device (MID). When an outage is detected, like Powerwall Pila opened the MID and continues to power downstream loads that are plugged into Pila.
That's not an answer to my question. If two months ago you were told a French nuclear submarine would make a show of force in a Canadian harbor in response to US aggression against Canada would you just have waived it all away as a nothing burger?
I wouldn't think choosing a native language over a scripting language is a "gamble" but I suppose that all depends on ability and risk tolerance. I think it would be relatively easy to develop using Rust, Go, Zig, etc.

I would not call Go a scripting language. Go programs are statically linked single binaries, not a textual representation that is loaded into an interpreter or VM. It has more in common with C than Bash. But to make sure we are clear (in case you want to dig in on calling Go a scripting language) I am talking about dynamic programming languages like Python, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, etc. which generally do not compile to static binaries and instead load text files into an interpreter/VM. These dynamic scripted languages tend to have performance below static binaries (like Go, Rust, C/C++) and usually below byte code interpreted languages (like C# and Java).
Yes, but not every land animal, some can outrun Homo on the long distances as well (wolves, horses, deer). Mammoth couldn't and died. Moose cannot as well, but survived somehow.
I haven't kept up with Mozillas yearly reports for over a decade, but are you saying that they no longer rely 90% on search for income? And what is "investment" here? Doesn't sound like actual revenue.
I've been in this business for multiple decades, and I have never had a manager do that before. It's very unusual in my experience. A status meeting is a business occasion, not a social one. Asking for a status report about my non-work time is just very strange and intrusive in that setting. My time is my time, not subject to company review.

It's a world apart from talking over the water cooler, where it would indeed be normal social interaction.
They absolutely can be accessed -- all major streaming services have new episodes/movies automatically uploaded to private bittorrent trackers & usenet within hours of them going live.
Of course, they content still has to be retained by those networks, but HBO Max hasn't been around so long that its contents are gone yet.
>So actually top level planning/reporting is done by everything flowing into one big spreadsheet - as crappy as that is, thats pretty common.

Yeah, everywhere I've worked that's common, even when the underlying data is managed much more successfully, the top folks really want everything on a spreadsheet.
I always thought it was interesting that my modern CPU takes ages to plot 100,000 or so points in R or Python (ggplot2, seaborn, plotnine, etc) and yet somehow my 486DX 50Mhz could pump out all those pixels to play Doom interactively and smoothly.
It's not clear whether NIST's recommendations are influenced by their relationship with the NSA (who would have an incentive to pressure NIST to recommend an algorithm which they--and hopefully they alone--can break). So perhaps the reasonable move is to use only one NIST-recommended algorithm and have the other layer be one that they do not recommend.
Bluey is about a family living in a 8000 ft mansion, with lots of spare time.

I think it is influenced by the Flintstones, a little bit.
It's not true at all. A cardioplegia solution is injected into the heart itself to arrest the heartbeat, and to protect it from tissue damage while awaiting transplantation. But this is done after the donor's chest has already been surgically opened, and has nothing at all to do with "paralyzing" them or preventing them from struggling. If they were going to struggle, surely they would do so when the operation started! But no such paralysis is needed, of course, because the donor has already been determined to be brain-dead by that point.

As an interesting note, even the basic premise of the preceding comment is not accurate. A small but increasing number of heart transplants are performed as DCD operations, which means the donor's heart stops naturally on its own before being removed: https://www.acc.org/Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2022/11/21...
