If you want desktop and mobile builds.

Tauri 2.0 added support for iOS and Android builds as targets.

Re:SpaceX Is Buying Cursor on Tuesday June 16, 2026 @09:11AM (#48554766)
It's a great thing for consumers and businesses to have another competitive, American coding harness + frontier coding model duo. No one wants a crippled version of codex or claude code and surely SpaceX isn't paying $60 billion for that outcome.
Re:SpaceX Is Buying Cursor on Tuesday June 16, 2026 @08:48AM (#48554399)
What an incredible outcome for the Cursor team. Hopefully the Cursor + xAI teams working together can produce a competitive frontier model.

One would hope the vscode fork with a $50B valuation and no moat, would wisely spend the money they raised to build a moat.

With agentic search, they actually do pretty well with monorepos.
Re:Nvidia takes $1B stake in Nokia on Tuesday October 28, 2025 @11:17PM (#45742226)
It's the name given to an initiative by telco vendors like Nokia and Ericson to explore using NVIDIA GPUs to supply the core compute needs of next generation Radio Access Networks (RAN).

It's a potential 6G architecture.

That's what it looks like. This post gives me the impression it is a bit more narrowly scoped and streamlined compared to A2P: https://stripe.com/blog/developing-an-open-standard-for-agen...
Re:Stripe Launches L1 Blockchain: Tempo on Thursday September 04, 2025 @04:30PM (#45131892)
Patrick, congratulations on launching Tempo. If there was a company where it actually made sense to build and use a blockchain it would be Stripe.

The website is a bit painful to read but I thought it provided good general information for potential partners.

As as a dev, my questions are why did your team decide to build a new L1 chain instead of an Ethereum L2 and why did you all stick with the EVM architecture instead of looking at something like the MoveVM?

For all of its flaws, the EU does attempt to protect consumers. Lina Khan had a good run while she was around.
Re:Show HN: AgentMail – Email infra for AI agents on Thursday July 31, 2025 @04:01PM (#44749517)
This. I also think e-mail clients are a more natural interface for managing multiple async conversations/tasks with models/agents from different providers.

There's also nothing stopping this product from expanding to other interfaces/modalities like voice or sms.

Congratulations on your launch.

Nice idea. Balkans Crypto shows up under the North America tab. It's in Tirana, Albania.
Re:Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code on Monday February 24, 2025 @03:30PM (#43164585)
Thank you for the update!

I recently attempted to use the Google Drive integration but didn't follow through with connecting because Claude wanted access to my entire Google Drive. I understand this simplifies the user experience and reduced time to ship, but is there anyway the team can add "reduce the access scope of Google Drive integration" to your backlog. Thank you!

Also, I just caught the new Github integration. Awesome.

I could see the cost of licensing data to train models increasing significantly, but the cost of compute for training models is only going to drop on a $/PFLOP basis.
I can say from using the chat interface, Claude 3.5 is a top tier model for coding tasks. I used ChatGPT Pro previously, but I really find the experience of using Claude much more enjoyable overall.
Re:We’re ending production of Chromecast on Tuesday August 06, 2024 @01:49PM (#41173295)
It was a good brand name when it launched, but not for how it evolved.

It was a device that made it possible to cast video from your Chrome browser. When it was released in 2013 it reinforced the superior utility of Chrome which had just began to dominate browser market share.

Embedding the Google Cast protocol directly into video streaming apps and having the Chromecast brand name coexist alongside the Android TV and Google TV brand names made things confusing.

Re:Why YC went to DC on Tuesday June 04, 2024 @11:39AM (#40575726)
I'm grateful Gary and YC are doing this.

From a communication strategy standpoint, I'm just curious what the thinking was to go with 'Little Tech' to refer to new tech startups? I understand the purpose is to succinctly stand in contrast to 'Big Tech', but the word 'Little' somehow feels a bit more cutesy or infantilizing to me than saying 'Small Tech.'

Re:Meta Llama 3 on Thursday April 18, 2024 @02:37PM (#40079328)
Mark probably figured Meta would gain knowledge and experience more rapidly if they threw Llama out in the wild while they caught up to the performance of the bigger & better closed source models. It helps that unlike their competition, these models aren't a threat to Meta's revenue streams and they don't have an existing enterprise software business that would seek to immediately monetize this work.

That could be terrifying, but it sounds better than being misdiagnosed.

>advertisers target people with biopolar disorder because they know that people in a manic phase tend to buy things

I've assumed this is probably true, but do you have any evidence that this is actively practiced?

I always love reading myopic technology takes on this site.

Based on the article, it sounds like they're in exploratory talks to figure out what that "AI device" could be. I agree that it's likely we've already figured out the right form factors for such a device, but it's not a leap to imagine a significantly better UX than what we have from today's computing devices.

The movie "Her" seems like a decent blueprint for a post-smartphone "AI device".

And that's about the time they jump ship and make those repercussions someone else's problem. I'm sure those vendor kickbacks were nice.
Re:Sennheiser HD 555 to HD 595 Mod on Sunday June 18, 2023 @08:51AM (#36379831)
I paid $148 USD for the HD595s in 2011. They still work just as well today, but I'm disappointed to find out 14 years later I was conned into paying more for a false premium.
A tb4 kvm would be nice. I use a dock with my 2 laptops primarily to split video and USB to use with a kvm I share with my desktop so I don't have to switch out mouse, keyboard, and headset between everything.

I will say my favorite accessory has been my particular KVM that allows me to switch between my dock and desktop with a special keyboard command. Beats fiddling directly with the many buttons I had to press on my monitor to switch video inputs previously.

Re:Lost in the Stock on Sunday February 19, 2023 @03:58PM (#34861805)
This is going to be the case with any sufficiently scaled business. I feel the same way about how marketing and sales people talk about human beings as an opportunity to qualify for their sales funnel.

I'm sure others might feel similarly disgusted how software developers and business people talk about users. I personally find it gross that high spenders are commonly referred to as whales.

Maybe your opinion, but I'm not sure how you could come to that conclusion. Software is a critical part of people's daily lives and the successful functioning of modern society. Some, but certainly not all, software developers actually work on systems designed to improve some aspect of the human experience and not on systems designed to continuously extract money or attention from their users.
Prices are already highly speculative in that region and this move by Walmart will further fuel speculators who think will try to squeeze a quick buck flipping or renting to a new wave of captive out of town techies.

Was there anything stopping Twitter from charging 3rd party clients and their users for access to the API?
