News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Curious what you mean, why not? Business is just a group of people creating a product or service so valuable people are willing to pay more for it than it cost to build. In what way do you think Hyper does not fit that model?
Yes that's super fair feedback, we're changing the wording soon :)
Appreciate the thoughtful questions.

1. I'll address this in two parts.

(a) Memory vs. Enterprise Search. I consider search to address targeted, stateless retrieval whereas memory solves temporal, tacit, and derived problems. Glean can tell you why a ticket was filed or answer a specific question regarding a customer call. But in many companies, important questions are broader: "What went wrong the first time we went with this vendor?" "How has our brand shifted in tone over time?". These cannot be answered by a few documents, and it's not obvious whether this information would be in Slack or Notion or Drive. It requires an active, entropy-fighting system that is going to extract information and keep track of how it evolves over time.

(b) Benchmarks: absolutely. Don't want to claim anything before we've published results, but Hyper scores very well on LoCoMo and LongMemEval, and we are constantly trying to bolster our set of evals. We will publish results more openly in the coming weeks. I will caveat though: many SOTA memory providers are converging on the top end of these benchmarks, and yet we don't see mass adoption. We believe that UX affordances are underrated and critical to get "company brains" working in real, messy businesses. Many of our users have come to us from other providers purely because the competition was too difficult to use and maintain across the org.

2. Hyper maintains a graph of information where each node is an extracted "fact." This happens continuously, in the background, live from every connector or connected agent. At insertion-time, new information is compared against relevant information. Our system (a DAG of agentic nodes) determines the relationships between these facts and makes appropriate updates: X derives Y, A updates B. For now, we rely on recency as the primary indicator of conflict (i.e. we assume more recent information is generally more true than old information). We realize that this will need to become more sophisticated, and are iterating.

3. Knowledge extraction is real-time and asynchronous, and should add next to zero latency to any existing system. We continually update the graph in our backend, without relying on a nightly compaction/dreams cycle, so information from the world should be reflected in Hyper's responses in close to real time. Retrieval can be slightly more expensive, but the latency is negligible compared to the overhead of the calling agent. We recognize the importance of performance (we both worked on on-device robotics!) and are happy to publish numbers as we measure them :)

thank you !

Launch HN: Hyper (YC P26) – Company brain to power agentic development

Hey HN, we’re Shalin & Kanyes, best friends who've been hacking together for 10+yrs, and now founders of Hyper (https://heyhyper.ai/). Hyper is a shared “company brain” that plugs into information flowing inside a company to make AI agents and automations better and ultimately save people time.Models have gotten good enough that they can (mostly) take on long-horizon, complex tasks. We...

Re:MakeGamesWithUs gives young developers a home on Monday July 29, 2013 @05:38PM (#6124065)
I am a current intern at this company and this company has been the best iOS App development experience. They only take 30%. And to us interns, the money does not really even matter. If "Making games is about making. Creating. Learning.", then MakeGamesWithUs is doing their job well because my purpose of interning here was not about the money, it was about the experience- money is just a plus.

Thank you so much for putting your time into this. This is a great way to learn programming and I will be sure to follow it!

Thanks so much for the advice. My school is not so good at technology and I'm the only one that knows so much about computers. I will never stop listening to those better than me. Also, I will not give up coding. Thank you for taking the time to give me feedback. I really appreciate it!

Programming

Hi I am Shalin Shah and I am a 13 year old kid who just started coding. I started web design 4 months ago and created middleschoolnotes.org and now I am learning Objective-C (http://www.shalinvs.tk/learning-objective-c-day-one) and I built Ideya (ideyaapp.tk). I would like some advice on how I can be a really great programmer. I really enjoy coding and I want to be the best at it so I decided...

Re:Show HN: Mixer - A Social Mixer For Your Location on Saturday September 08, 2012 @04:28PM (#4493898)
This is a really nice tool with an awesome UI and friendly environment. What this tool does, is it finds all the people near you (you can choose how near) and it allows you to message with them.

Mixer lets you make the most of the people around you.

Mixer key features:

• Browse profiles of people nearby

• Share conversations with the entire community

• Be a part of multiple communities by simply using the application in different areas.

• Use the neighborhood activity feature and Mixer will automatically notify you of new conversations in your area wherever you happen to be.

Re:Your iPad sucks - here are 6 examples why on Sunday August 26, 2012 @11:22PM (#4437279)
The iPad does suck for those six things, and more, but it also has hundreds of awesome features which in my opinion, makes it the best tablet.
