I've spent a career working with data and ontologies and I couldn't understand this readme, and the diagram only makes it more confusing.

Thanks for the transparency

Cool idea but I can't find anywhere on the linked page to try it? It reads like a neat concept but it's not clear if this is a thing they've actually made or not (or am I just missing something super obvious?)

This one doesn’t?

This is point of Nemotron series

I have many issues with Anthropic, but I will say that their actions are fully consistent with a group of people who earnestly believe that AI is extremely dangerous

In fact, I would say that the Occam’s razor explanation is not that they are seeking regulatory capture, but that they earnestly believe in the x-risk, and that they are the most thoughtful and capable people to address it

You may disagree, you may think that they are delusional or have a God complex. Those are valid opinions. But I don’t believe that this is all a elaborate ruse for commercial gain.

We've built our whole platform around DuckDB at Hex. Our product truly could not exist without it.

The iPhone 5C of Ferraris – and I am sure it'll have the same fate.

It's doubly a shame because Jony actually owns one of the all-time most beautiful classic Ferraris – the 250 Europa. I was hoping they'd do a modern re-imagination and revival.

Who hurt you?

I mean the whole product is a Hex clone, literally every feature is something Hex has had for a long time...

I don't think an LLM wrote it; this has been their brand voice for a long time...

Not surprised - this stuff isn’t fully mature yet. But I interact with their team a lot and know they have a commitment to it (I’m the other guy in that video)

One thing I admire about Snowflake is a real commitment to self-cannibalization. They were super out front with Iceberg even though it could disrupt them, because that's what customers were asking for and they're willing to bet they'll figure out how to make money in that new world

Video of their SVP of Product talking about it here: https://youtu.be/PERZMGLhnF8?si=DjS_OgbNeDpvLA04&t=1195

I’m surprised not to see a discussion of the biggest drawback: despite being fewer characters, “uv” is harder to type than “pip”. It requires two different hands to participate and a longer reach with my left index finger. pip is convenient – just a little rattle off with my right hand.

VCs often help companies find homes within their portfolios

no idea how the product itself works but they have set a new standard for small startup launch videos with this

Windsurf didn't not go through because of regulatory or MSFT issue – that was always a fig leaf. OAI walked.

The implication of her article is that they’d have a hard time raising that money and/or that they somehow aren’t doing well - I don’t see any evidence of this cited anywhere in her post.

This post didn't age well – 3 weeks later Substack announced a $100m fundraise at $1.1b valuation. [1]

Ana's contention that Substack is "rickety" seems motivated by her conviction that they should adopt a more assertive, aggressive censorship regime, and that "we need a world where a social safety net protects risky writing".

There are certainly many interesting questions about the future of media and Substack's business – but the parade of people saying it can't succeed without more moderation keep being proven wrong.

Keep the vested equity and move on. Anything else is asking too much.

congrats to Nikita and all the wonderful folks at Neon!

Congrats to everyone. Some of the smartest and kindest people in data coming together!

Congrats to everyone, very excited to see how these come together

Component dependency is pretty wild and could massively simplify some complex apps

Congrats Taimur!
