One issue with this analogy is that paper encyclopedias really are precise when used correctly. Wikipedia is not.

I do think it can be used in research but not without careful checking. In my own work I've found it most useful as a search aid and for brainstorming.

This was debunked - the agent was actually fooling the verification harness https://x.com/SakanaAILabs/status/1892992938013270019. One particular test that showed a 150x speedup is actually 3x slower.

lol tell that to all the (quite successful) B2B SaaS apps that started with Google login as their only option

99% of the population finds this easier than setting up a user/pass. If you care about this, understand that you will not be the target user for most new apps. Incredible that this comes up on so many new Show HNs.

Shame that this is downvoted, I assume for tone - this is the feedback the founders need to hear

"social media feels unusual" bro what? I've both spent time at a VC fund and have successfully fundraised as a founder - every partner adds you on LinkedIn bare minimum after a call, twitter was pretty common too

Real talk: This VC probably has at least ~10 meetings like this per week and they do ~10 deals per year. Neither adding you on social nor presenting you at a Monday meeting means anything. If they proactively set up another call in the very near future with another partner, that may indicate positive momentum.

Also if you're actively fundraising, run a process - you should be going down a list of like 100-200 VCs, any one intro meeting like this should mean nothing to you. Don't get emotionally attached this early in the pipeline

Do you have any resources on the latest with electrolytic carbon fixation? Like, how do you go from solar panels -> energy -> plants?

IMO this all hinges on if the company has traction with the new direction and pivot. If there is traction, the message to investors becomes clearer and there is motivation to invest regardless of you being around especially if there is a clear story. Both because that investor became unenthused and because you want to leave, I'm guessing there is no traction. In that case, depends on your cofounder's relationship with investors + how much cash is left in the bank. Assuming you raised on SAFE notes, they can't actually force the company to return capital and it's a bad look for them to try. IMO don't worry too much about messaging and just leave, the investors will get over it if traction comes.

However, I would definitely not recommend raising while you're there on paper and leaving right after. This is a pretty material piece of news to leave off of a fundraise, and best case tanks your reputation going forward with investors, at worst is fraudulent and leaves the company (and perhaps you) open to legal action.

Have you used Topaz Labs? That denoising is pretty good, definitely more advanced than a tuned-up gaussian.

Not too familiar with CoralCDN, will check that out. Would say the comparison with IPFS is apt, BitTorrent though requires people to seed on a per file basis right? so versioning for the source of truth etc becomes tough and you need people to care about your data specifically.

IPFS is an alternate solution, but as addresses are not updatable someone somewhere needs to keep track of where the canonical source is. Further, there is no API built in - the data would live at some address, but someone still needs to construct a way to get it without just downloading the whole data dump at once. Perhaps you shard across different files but that has its own issues.

On chain with Ethereum, you can use a smart contract which allows CRUD operations on the data on a per item basis. The latest version of the smart contract data is clear. The API is basically set with the smart contract - infra to get that has already been built with libraries like ethers, and will continue to be maintained since there are other contracts/products out there that rely on the same infra.

Ok I know it's not in vogue right now but this is actually a good use for the blockchain. Like the database here could just be placed on-chain in a smart contract, and anyone could read it (for free, only writes would cost money) forever, as long as at least one person is operating a node on ethereum. No ongoing hosting or serving costs. Anyone could build an API that did like photo generation or whatever on top of it, and builders could always access the raw data directly.

Heard of https://replika.com/? We are already there.

the advice nobody wants to hear but is actually true. ofc you also need to be highly competent yourself, but that is table stakes

Any plans to use homomorphic encryption eventually? low priority rn but would be v nice to have

Why be so negative? The world is better for ambitious people like this

Has there been a study done yet similar to the racial bias in medical imaging study to see if a neural net can detect it?

We need a hardware dev to chime in

What is the complex answer then? The parent's question is salient. Using your analogy as well, you could say humans see the world through the visual spectrum and reason about the world through that, although there is certainly much more to be observed beyond that spectrum - yet that is clearly sufficient for some subset of understanding.

I was surprised by this too, but AWS only has 32% of cloud market share https://www.parkmycloud.com/blog/aws-vs-azure-vs-google-clou....

Depends on the state but at least in TX parents would be liable for a fine if caught giving their children tobacco (https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/tobacco/regulatory.php). Of course that's not enforceable but it is a limit the state is attempting to create. Wrt porn the parent comment was referring to "creating" porn, which is certainly illegal for a parent to facilitate in the entire US

Maybe services using wasm will pull compute back to the desktop, even though end users won't realize it.

There's an online form where you upload your info, they verify your income level (duration does not matter), and that's it (at least in NY). I don't think any government healthcare programs cover care outside that government's country, do they? I suppose the EU ones cover care in other EU countries but that's the only case I can think of.

If you live in NY or CA (not sure about other states) and are under retirement age, Medicaid is a thing and works great. No asset limit, just income, so regardless of what you've saved you're likely eligible - so you can quit your job and without paying COBRA things will be ok

Honest question - why not?

Surprising that everyone else was quick to pick up zero commission trades for equities, but not for options

Sadly the TVM part of this has been deprecated and no longer supported. TVM is a little complex for me but would love to dive in and contribute sometime

do you think that these hot startups like Stripe etc are hiring consultants from the likes of Cognizant, Wipro, and TCS?

See this, from a high school science teacher, for an overview. TL;DR rapid burial in high mineral content soil creates the best chance of fossilization

It's funny because this seems like a textbook case of the innovator's dilemma (from Clayton Christensen) in a nutshell - what worked for Intel was just working so well, that cannibalizing it with something new didn't make sense - until it was too late.
