excellent question - recently switched from turbopack after getting annoyed by build times. we saw them go from 6 mins to 2 mins
Are you on turbopack? It's available on Next 16 and just took our build times down from 6 minutes to 2 minutes
Inference is where they make the money they spend on training, so this feels unlikely. Perhaps this does not true for Mythos though

The only mental gymnastics required are those to make this about "recent events"
This is extremely misleading. YC still backs Canadian founders (and other international founders). There must have been one too many painful experiences investing in companies based in Canada. Creating or converting to a US-based entity is a standard ask for most international founders who want to participate YC and I suppose something has changed such that Canada is no longer an exception to that.
Reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut - what a wonderful and absurd article

Love to see that people are able to create games without technical barriers. Being able to bring your ideas to life is such a powerful thing and it's great that more people can experience that

CreativeMode (S24) | https://creativemode.net | On-site - San Francisco, CA

CreativeMode is building Lovable for video game mods, starting with Minecraft. In our first three months, we built the most powerful no-code modding platform ever for Minecraft and created a double digit percentage of all mods ever released. We're building an entirely new category of gaming tools. Minecraft is only the beginning.

We're hiring a Founding Engineer who wants to build at the intersection of tech and gaming. Ideal candidates have a passion for the category and have experience building production-level LLM/AI applications or are killer full-stack engineers who can own product features end to end.

Ideally 3+ years of experience

Email me at [email protected] with your resume and a short blurb on why you'd like to join the team.

How so? If you don't want AI bots reading information on the web, you don't actually want a free and open web. The reality of an open web is that such information is free and available for anyone.

The anti-LLM crowd on HN is far more cultish. I don't know why some developers insist on putting their head in the sand on this.
Re:LLM Inevitabilism on Tuesday July 15, 2025 @02:48AM (#44568567)
These studies profoundly miss the mark and were clearly written for engagement/to push a certain view. It's abundantly clear to any developer who has used LLMs that they are a useful tool and have turned the corner in terms of the value they're able to provide vs their limitations.
I've used instabase before which has had the same UX for years. What about benchmarks between the two on extraction performance?
