Wow. It has build-in physics that checks your structure stability.
I think I and lot of others lack a clear instruction how to use it and what are the limitations. With docker/containers we are sold the promise of sandbox (not true, but regardless), and with existing systemd user level separation is really hard to grasp.
Before you drop your idea, because of it -> I've tested on few fast growing startups with track record. Red-team still didn't like the pitch. It's not a good judge if proven examples are still worthless to it.

Why? It's working, providing results and not ugly code. Why it's a slop?
This only confirms why a person living in Africa or other developing parts of the world, who has internet access and some seed money, is really limited in how they can earn money online.

I also don't agree that the agents simply "lost" $3,200. In reality, they used most of those funds paying for their own limited thinking capabilities (API/compute costs).

It's was always a case to describe your idea in context already known to users. Examples Uber for X, or eBay for Y. I think it's a great way to learn to build alternatives for payed services. Look at cal.com

I love it. Great example of using web usb.
1. Because there were no "free" support, unlike now GPTs can solve most problems without hiring expensive staff. 2. Companies payed millions on trainings specific to their solutions.
I would disagree, but before let me acknowledge how well written article is and bread analogy is spot on. However, author complete discounted open source and ability to spin up open source software that will replicate almost 1:1 what SaaS offers without a pay-to-access requirement. Why spend thousands on integration with SaaS that you can take open source, vibe code missing features and start using? You say maintenance, but I'd argue that owning your data is more important that costs of maintenance. Like bread, when you learn and have ability to choose healthier product you never go back to store brought.
I've experience using it with clients on several small to large projects. It's has advantages and disadvantages, as every framework.

Clients choose it because it's EU-based company.

Poland have its one LLM called Bielik. It's not only better in preserving Polish sounding wording, it's also better in writing government documents. Why better? They did arena and statistically it's just better.

During the construction, not operating. In scale it's 44 Olympic pools.

It's artificial scarcity. LLM inference will soon be commodity as cloud.

There is a 2-3years still before ASIC LLM inferences will catch up.

I was looking for something like this. Are you open for contributions?
Re:Lifetime Lead Exposure Can Triple Alzheimer's Risk on Friday February 13, 2026 @12:59PM (#47005602)
I still don't understand why lead used at all, anywhere. I highly recommend new Netflix release called Lead Children.

Can you elaborate?
What is your experience running python+flask on production with low latency requirements? Coming from Django, it was always a struggle.
From what I understand to allow pay like card without bank as intermediate.

Digital in sense that it it's not physical bank note, but app or something similar.

Here are longer explanation what they want to achieve.

Re:Samsung brings ads to US fridges on Thursday September 18, 2025 @11:50AM (#45291174)
This is an inevitable stage for every smart appliance: it will either suddenly stop working because it is discontinued, or it will start serving ads. I would argue it the same will happen with smart glasses, autonomous cars, and other smart device
Did whole 3d printing boom started because some of the patents expired?
Re:Getting free internet on a cruise, saving $170 on Monday June 16, 2025 @02:07PM (#44291887)
Maybe military is not best place to have "piracy internet", yet I think with current tech - internet access should not be an issue.
Re:Getting free internet on a cruise, saving $170 on Monday June 16, 2025 @01:59PM (#44291809)
I was watching some cruise crew videos, and it turns out their biggest expense is internet. I'm curious why they don’t just install Starlink to cut costs and maybe sell to guests some "piracy" internet?
- Great way to confirm if email address is valid

- People tend to use bad passwords

- People tend to forget passwords (you need to write whole password recovery, etc)

- You always have your smartphone with email close to you

- It's way easier than 2FA with Authenticator and cheaper than SMS

- You limit password sharing for your service

Can you explain these statement? I'm probably out of the loop.

Messenger started to get Meta AI assistant, so this is logical next step
Re:Hacker Fab on Tuesday November 05, 2024 @02:06PM (#42054295)
Forcing companies to open source their software is not possible, but making sure we can replace each component after warranty? There are strong right to repair movements, it's just matter of time.
Re:Hacker Fab on Tuesday November 05, 2024 @01:31PM (#42054011)
Low cost home IC development is something very needed for agriculture. If we think about current and future farming equipment, it's digital. We need to provide them the ability to repair themselves and mod.
Re:Show HN: Boards – Automate document-heavy tasks on Thursday July 18, 2024 @02:56AM (#40993124)
If I understand correctly this tool focuses on ability to create easily extractors from documents. I'm wondering who is your target audience? If it's a company operations (accounting, procurement, etc),you missed it, they want to setup once then use it and access documents. If it's for developers to quickly build extractors for different company ops, then I'm missing API, scoring, integrations.
I think article lack of research, and shows EU as less hardware friendly that is in reality.

1. You can do self-certification for CE.

2. You can find many companies that will do assembly in EU, so you can controll quality.

3. If you are selling kit as DIY, you don't need any certification at all (look at first years of Prusa)

Re:Another Climate Truth Bomb on Sunday July 07, 2024 @06:41AM (#40896572)
I don't think as individual we can do anything except:

1. Build energy independence by switching to renewable energy sources for your home.

2. Acquire skills that might be useful in a changing climate, such as gardening, home repair, or first aid.

3. Maintain mental health while dealing with the realities of climate change
