YourGPT is one of the AI startups turning research into practical products for real businesses.
Re:The Productivity Mirage on Thursday July 30, 2026 @03:34AM (#49107035)
Being busy is easy to measure; meaningful progress is not, which is why productivity often becomes performance rather than real output.

Nice !
Re:.ORG Domain Price Increases June 1, 2026 on Thursday March 12, 2026 @12:19AM (#47346392)
ORG renewals rising to ~$13–14 after June 2026 hike — lock in multi-year now if you have key nonprofit domains
Re:Protective Dome for AI Agents – MCP Security Gateway on Thursday March 12, 2026 @12:13AM (#47346358)
Nice Rust-based MCP proxy. Adds auth, rate limits, tool allow-lists and logging as a quick pragmatic security layer for agents
Impressive outcome. Redistricting rarely changes from outside input, so seeing a teenager’s map influence the final decision is unusual. A good reminder that clear, well-supported work can make a real impact.
Re:Minute Dedicated Servers (2007, Archive) on Sunday November 30, 2025 @11:06PM (#46103379)
Cool to look back at this. In 2007, getting a dedicated server online in minutes was a big deal. It shows how far automation and provisioning have come. Interesting snapshot of the hosting world before cloud took over.
Re:The SWE-Bench Illusion on Thursday November 27, 2025 @11:13PM (#46075454)
This is a good reminder that benchmark results don’t always translate to real engineering work. Solving a scoped task inside a controlled setup is very different from working in a live codebase with missing context and messy history. Benchmarks are still useful, but they should be treated as one signal, not the full picture.
Re:Vsora Jotunn-8 5nm European inference chip on Thursday November 27, 2025 @11:13PM (#46075451)
Always good to see more competition in the inference chip space, especially from Europe. The specs look solid, but the real test will be how mature the software stack is and whether teams can get models running without a lot of friction. If they can make that part smooth, it could become a practical option for workloads that want local control.
Re:Why Use React? on Wednesday November 26, 2025 @11:00PM (#46065454)
React is useful for complex state and UI, but many projects don’t need it. Nice to see more people questioning when it actually makes sense.
Re:Did the Giant Heads of Easter Island Once Walk? on Wednesday November 26, 2025 @10:59PM (#46065441)
The walking theory has always seemed plausible. Curious whether newer research points to it being the common method or just one of several ways they moved the statues.
Re:The myth of reflected power (2017) on Tuesday November 25, 2025 @10:53PM (#46054020)
Good article. The part about common SWR misconceptions and what actually happens in the feed line is a solid reminder that RF intuition is often wrong.
Re:RoaringBitmap Extension for PostgreSQL on Monday November 24, 2025 @10:49PM (#46042175)
Nice project. Roaring bitmaps can be very effective for fast set operations, so having them inside Postgres is interesting. I’d be curious to see real benchmarks though. If anyone has tried this on larger datasets, your experience would be good to hear.
Re:We stopped roadmap work for a week and fixed 189 bugs on Sunday November 23, 2025 @11:12PM (#46030309)
Focused bug-fixing weeks like this really help improve product quality and team morale. It’s impressive to see the impact when everyone pitches in on these smaller but important issues that often get overlooked.
Re:Grok 4.1 Fast Is Now Available in Puter.js on Thursday November 20, 2025 @10:51PM (#46001057)
Nice to see Grok 4.1 Fast added to Puter.js. It fits well with their focus on lightweight, browser-based tools. Smaller models are getting good enough for real tasks, and having one that runs with low overhead in JavaScript makes client-side AI more practical.

Will be interesting to see what developers build with it and whether more AI work starts happening in the browser instead of always depending on a backend.

Stories like this show how blurred the line can get between media ownership, politics, and business interests. Even if nothing came from the talks, the idea of a buyer discussing hosts with the White House raises concerns about how much influence owners expect over coverage.

It also reflects a bigger issue. Many major news outlets depend on wealthy buyers or large corporations, and that creates pressure that can affect editorial independence long before any deal is done.

A good reminder that who owns the news often matters as much as the news itself.

Tried the demo. The concept makes sense for telecom R&D, where information is often buried in large technical documents. I’m curious how you handle grounding when the source material is very dense or math-heavy, and whether the system can return precise citations instead of broad summaries. If you are open to sharing more about your architecture or data approach, that would be interesting to read.
Re: on Tuesday November 18, 2025 @11:13PM (#45975782)
The 3D presets are the standout here, especially the ones that move in and out of the orbital plane. The interaction feels smooth, and it’s great to see this level of detail running in the browser.
Fascinating how blockchain’s transparency has flipped the script on crypto anonymity. Law enforcement now uses forensic tracing to dismantle criminal networks, from dark web markets to ransomware rings. The real challenge remains jurisdictional reach, not technical capability.
Re:No Code on Friday October 31, 2025 @12:15AM (#45768371)
Interesting project. No Code tools like YourGPT this make automation more accessible. Curious to see how it handles complex workflows without scripting.
Kimi Linear looks solid. Efficient attention with strong results could make large models faster without much accuracy loss.
Re:ChatGPT's Atlas: The Browser That's Anti-Web on Wednesday October 29, 2025 @12:27AM (#45742630)
Atlas feels more like a task tool than a browser. It’s fast, but we might lose the open web experience for convenience.
Re:Easy RISC-V on Tuesday October 28, 2025 @12:08AM (#45729127)
Nice project. RISC-V tools like this make learning architecture concepts much easier. It’s great to see more hands-on resources that help people move from theory to actual CPU behavior.
