The website appears vibe coded, as do the product-hunt reviews with "RightNow AI is an impressive..." appearing more than would be expected by random chance. Either someone is good at writing CUDA Kernels and a 1-10% perf improvement is impressive, or they're bad at writing CUDA Kernels and a 2x-4x over naïve very often isn't impressive. What percentage of people who do write custom CUDA kernels are bad at it? How many are so bad at it that they leave 20x on the table as claimed on the website? What could have helped sell it to me as a concept is an example of a before and after. EDIT: One of the reviews states "RightNow AI is an innovative tool designed to help developers profile and optimize CUDA code efficiently. Users have praised its ability to identify bottlenecks and enhance GPU performance. For example, one user stated, "RightNow AI is a game-changer for GPU optimization."" I think some of the AI prompt has leaked into the output.

2x-4x improvements are normal when starting from a naive kernel, but sometimes we see gains well over 10x. Every kernel is profiled live on real GPUs (serverless), so you get accurate performance data for the specific architecture. Before-and-after examples would definitely help, and we’re adding those soon. Thanks for the feedback.

  This is the only product I've ever looked up on Product Hunt and I only looked it up because I was wondering who was giving them positive reviews. It appears that Product Hunt is a growth hacker den and I guess they 'hacked' it with bots. There does appear to be a lack of quality control for reviews on that site - which I guess is Product Hunts own version of growth hack. I think this is why people are retreating to cloistered private communities where users can have a higher degree of confidence that they're interacting with real people.

    Fair enough. I've been even been considering dumping HN for months, and is my only refuge left. Can't seem to find anywhere I can have strong confidence I'm talking to real people anymore. Dark Forest I guess...

      I've been finding comfort in old books and have largely given up on interfacing with humanity. Hacker news the last place I regularly frequent and it is getting noticeably worse as time goes on.

        what's up guys, take it easy. Just to clarify: I didn’t add any reviews myself. I’m building this SOLO and barely have time to finish the product, let alone fake comments. I wasn’t even aware of the Product Hunt stuff until people here pointed it out!!!! I just put the product out there for anyone who wants to try it for FREE and share feedback. I already have a good number of real users, and they’re happy with it

        We're not talking about you or your project. We're talking about a bigger problem. Sure, you're kinda contributing to it but so am I with my research. We're more concerned with how people are abusing the technologies. Sure, I don't like vibe coding, but I'll let the security people explain that one to you. Really my issue with vibe coding is that I don't think we should be shipping products that are below TRL 6 and vibe coding is really around 3 or 4.
