We are taking it seriously, and are continuing to investigate. We are not trusting the metrics.view on HN →
You're being nice about it but I think you're inadvertently expressing literally the sentiment Dan was referring to.view on HN →
I don't think I've ever seen a thread this bad on Hacker News. The number of commenters justifying violence, or saying they "don't condone violence" and then doing exactly that, is sickening and makes me want to find something else to do with my life—something as far away from this as I can get. I feel ashamed of this community.view on HN →
We talk to GitHub as well! You're right that they are an enormous and critical dependency, and we pay close attention to the changes they make to their platform.view on HN →
I dunno why that's a whole meme, but nobody of any scale is doing that. We produce products through factories like most established sellers.view on HN →
If it doesn’t ever execute Ruby: it cannot be compatible with Homebrew. “Compatible” is doing a bit of work here when it also means “implicitly relies on Homebrew’s CDN, CI, packaging infrastructure and maintainers who keep all this running”.There’s a new vibe coded Homebrew frontend with partial compatibility and improved speed every few weeks.Homebrew is working on an official Rust frontend that will actually have full compatibility. Hopefully this will help share effort across the wider ecosyview on HN →
> Can we make an entirely new programming language? Can we make an OS?I have seen both of these already. I've done the former personally, and I've seen links to at least kernels for the latter.(I didn't do it via gastown, just regular old "use Claude".)view on HN →
I believe that Pilgrim here does not understand very well how copyright works:> Their claim that it is a "complete rewrite" is irrelevant, since they had ample exposure to the originally licensed codeThis is simply not true. The reason why the "clean room" concept exists is precisely since actually the law recognizes that independent implementations ARE possibile. The "clean room" thing is a trick to make the litigation simpler, it is NOT required that you are not exposed to the original code. Fview on HN →
That's from this comment here: https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/issues/8082#issuecomment-39...Well that's embarrassing! I reported it as if it wasn't a joke. I thought the joke issue was this one about translating everything to Chinese: https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/issues/8092view on HN →
The way I phrased that point was "The investigators allege repeatedly visiting daycare centers which did not, factually, have children physically present at the facility despite reimbursement paperwork identifying specific children being present at that specific time. The investigators demonstrated these lies on timestamped video, and perhaps in another life would have been YouTube stars."view on HN →
All image models can generate images that were not in its training dataset, but it can't generate reductive extreme cases like your example.view on HN →
Good question! It's likely because there are lots of different accents of Spanish that are distinct from each other. Our labels only capture the native language of the speaker right now, so they're all grouped together but it's definitely on our to-do list to go deeper into the sub accents of each language family!view on HN →
We're working on getting there. What got us out of our seats to build this was realizing that LLMs still struggled with the fairly basic data modeling and distributed systems problems that existing payments providers pose. Any solution they came up with was only ever narrowly correct, brittle, and a nightmare to maintainview on HN →
