   This comment makes no sense - I'm an iPhone user and receive spam almost daily. And if it's reassuring to know that your messages are rendered correctly, Beeper Mini would only expand the number of contacts that this applies to. H

   I see a market for this, though I don't think this iteration of the product will succeed. I know a handful of folks that would love to have a replacement for their phone - something less bulky that they can carry around in place of the

   Oh wow that's interesting, thanks for sharing! I thought that the value in today's LLMs comes from the wealth of "free" crowd-sourced answers online. It seems like OpenAI is trying to create more source material specific

   Is ChatGPT a competitor? I always viewed LLMs in this context as an interface for SO. They're not contributing new answers/code, right?

   It sounds like they have that planned in the short-term, and from the presentation, multi-modal AI "sometime next year" (e.g. answering "What is this building that I'm looking at right now?").

   I'm only hearing about Earthly through this blog post, but is their optimization just shaving time off of overhead? From their landing page, it sounds like their system made caching and build targets a first class feature. > Rebuild

   Can the HN title be updated? Read this whole article thinking the numbers were from last year, not 1997...

   Very excited for this. I wish more films went with the no marketing approach, but I suppose it can only (maybe?) work if you're as regarded as Miyazaki.

    Slack tries to satisfy a number of requirements, all through a chat interface. 1:1 chatting, group chatting, team/project discussions, company updates, etc. I think Slack is as good or superior to Workplace just considering chat functi

    Most products aspire to be the Apple of their category. Ending up as successful as Android is definitely not a blunder...

    The Apple watch started at $350, not $1k [0]. Also no one with an Android phone has an Apple Watch, which means Apple at best has ~27% of the market [1]. [0] https://www.theverge.com/2015/3/9/8162455/appl

    Controllers are largely optional, but if you want to play most serious games they need a controller. I think Apple is largely ignoring the gaming segment with their headset, apart from Apple Arcade games, which sounds like they will be play

    Just curious, but are you ex-Meta? Sapling looks pretty neat, but I was hesitant to introduce it at the company I work at since I wasn't sure if it's UX would be well-received. It feels great to me since I got used to it at Meta,

    I think with any technology, there will always be individuals looking to make a quick buck. Whether that's a fledgling startup trying to woo investors, big tech cos looking to pump their share price, or your average Twitter/Linked

    Love all the new tech they're trying out here, but I think they really shot themselves in the foot with the "Quest Pro" branding. The product still has some rough edges (e.g. that 1-2hr battery life), and consumers will undou

    It's the other way around - Quest Pro is the one testing new tech (mixed reality, face tracking, foveated rendering, self-tracking controllers). I imagine they're going to hone these features over the next couple of years and incl

    I was in FAANG for 5 years and felt similarly at around the 2 year mark. Convinced myself to stay on the same team for another year since I was getting promoted consistently. 2020 helped break the monotony of work since it was in general a
