Hi HN! We’re a YC-backed, Series-A startup building robots that build large-scale solar farms.

We just published a new video of our production system here! https://youtu.be/ix0oMgqTfko

It turns out that construction companies literally can't build solar fast enough, so what we're doing is a crucial part of switching the grid over to renewable generation.

You’ll be a key contributor, helping bring our next generation of mobile solar factory to life.

Come work with us if you love:

* Fast-paced prototype development with software and hardware components

* Making a positive climate impact through your work

* Hacking on massive construction equipment!

Lots of software and hardware jobs at the following link: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/charge-robotics

Please also feel free to reach out to me directly at [email protected]

Hey HN! One of my best friends + the best programmer I’ve ever met, Peter, just launched his startup. He is building an FPGA-accelerated server for high-memory, high-bandwidth applications. His video is hilariously technical and I hope that by posting this here it can make it in front of the right people.

From his LinkedIn Post [0]:

“My cofounder and I are making an FPGA-accelerated server for high-memory high-bandwidth workloads. A single 2U box will have terabytes of DRAM, terabytes per second of memory bandwidth, over a petabyte of flash, and most unusually, about a terabyte per second of bandwidth to said petabyte of flash.

We're looking for one or two companies to partner with; we'll do the work to port your application to our hardware. Please reach out if you've got a tricky workload! I'd love to see if we can make your heavy workload faster, bigger, and much cheaper.

In particular, I think our hardware is an excellent match for search and vector database workloads, so if you're in the space I'd love to hear from you.

You can message me here, email me at [email protected], or grab a call on my calendar: https://lnkd.in/efFiprWr”
