Sorry, I misunderstood your comment. As for webrtc - it was mainly for decent support in browsers and built in AEC. I think we will take another look at this design choice if we run out of ways to further optimize.

We use a bunch, at the moment we mainly self host (and use pipecat) use Daily, and a few niche boutique suppliers who built things for us. There is a great resource for learning this stuff - the CEO of Daily, Kwindla Kramer, hosted a series

Its just economy 101. People have been running crappy code commercially for over half a century now. Not many companies successfully differentiate by running good code - it usually does not matter to the end consumer, other things are much

Yeah, I know -- though I think for the time being the screens-as-mirrors extend to cars that would otherwise lack a sensible center rear-view mirror, so thats a net positive. On screens replacing side windows, I don't have first-hand e

My argument was to keep the attention of the driver on the road. To that end, I don't care whether I am looking at a physical mirror or a screen that replaced one (as long as its good, high res, low latency screen) - I am looking in th

True, though on the volvo its the defaut - when you hit the cruise control button, it automatically enables both the lane keeping and the adaptive cruise control. Sure, it can be switched to just adaptive cruise control but it requires one

Likely. What does this sentence even mean? "if you want to connect, you have to make the magic work behind the screen". It crashes my parser. Good thing I am not reading hacker news while driving :-)

Yeah, my volvo also wants me to do questionnaires when driving. Insane. When I am buying a new car, I now always try to rent one, and specifically the current model year, for a few days and do various types of driving. My V60 used to spend

I used to drive a range rover sport that would display a long pop up with some legalese about focusing on the road while driving when I hit the navi button. It required acknowledging.

"So, that's attractive as a slogan but it's 100% incorrect in practice. Non-road UI features like backup cameras and blind spot warning alarms save lives. Period." The "on the road" extends to mirrors (or scree

I had the same thing while passing an unexpected cyclist. That was an Audi A6, I vividly remember even though some 5 years have passed - I was one of the scariest things that happened to me on the road.

Call me old school, but I'd like a physical master switch to disable all of the systems you mentioned. I drive a lot, and often in rented cars, and in various countries. - automatic braking - i brake gently and then do a limousine stop

Yes, you are right. All my power tools (from Makita, Milwuakee, Festool) have absolutely phenomenal UI - so there are still corners of industrial design where the dark patterns/attention grabbing product people haven't ventured. T

I really don't know about that. Mercedes used to mean high, tactile, audible mechanical quality. You'd hear it while closing the doors, you'd see it when looking at perfectly assembled dash, you'd hear it while driving a

Likely, and via vertex on gcp (or whatever they are calling it this year). Which also means, if you are a big boring AWS or GCP shop, and have a spend commitment with either as part of a long term partnership, it will count towards that. An

You'd have learned something new. Useful, not useful, thorough understanding of a new thing is rewarding. Also, its not primarily about money - the real investment here is time.

For sure, but these days product management mistakes can be more easily rectified. Before that, if we invested 4 months in building something that did not land, we'd be quite reluctant to jettison this and start fresh. Egos, career con

As a CTO I can say that this is not my experience. My experience these days is fighting corporate bureaucracy and inertia to make sure we reap the benefits of faster coding. Feeding agents with work is not a problem. Building teams that use

The people who use AI to the maximum learn more. A neutral hobbyist on a $20 budget will build something and immediately bump into quotas. Its not going to be an enjoyable experience. A negatively predisposed pro who only dabbles in AI gets

In a word, bottlenecks moved. What I see in my backyard: coding now takes significantly less time, but its just coding. Before one gets to building there are squabbles between business and product people. Testing takes just as much as it us

My experience as well, unfortunately. I am really looking forward to reading, in a few years, a proper history of the wild west years of AI scaling. What is happening in those companies at the moment must be truly fascinating. How is it pos

Thanks! In our limited experience, Claude does not focus that much on guardrails and code quality when building a feature - but can be pretty focused on code quality and architecture when asked to do just that. So, one a few hours to iterat

I am not sure how others are doing this, but here is our process: - meaningful test coverage - internal software architecture was explicitly baked into the prompts, and we try to not go wild with vibing, but, rather, spec it well, and keep

That. We already shipped 3 things this year built using Claude. The biggest one was porting two native apps into one react native app - which was originally estimated to be a 6-7 month project for a 9 FTE team, and ended up being a 2 months

Boring corporate Ai will surely come, but hey, lets enjoy the wild west while it lasts. I am grateful to see Boris come here to address problems people face. I 100% sure nobody is making him - he has one of the coolest jobs in the world.

True, but its really hard to name a family of commercial devices with security features in hardware, including serious security features, which were not eventually hacked. Worse still, for new mainstream devices that are believed to be safe
