Interesting choice of names: "Solar Turbines" - a wholly owned Caterpillar subsidiary that designs and manufactures industrial gas turbines. That said, it is all pretty impressive.

I had the privilege of working with a great SWE intern this year. Their fresh ideas and strong work ethic made a real impact. Experienced engineers need this kind of energy. Yes many over-rely on LLMs, but new engineers see possibilities we

This is probably one of those tickets on the backlog that is constantly kicked down the road. Always superseded by a new fire.

Besides being a meme stock, Tesla is also in the enviable position of owning its entire stack - software, hardware, chips, manufacturing etc., unlike Honda that has many critical components built by other manufacturers and not tightly integ

For me - hands free operation. I love to use them at my kids games and events. Many times parents are trying to both watch and capture that special moment and fail at both. The LLM has so much potential but hobbled by the fact that it is su

Meta is onto something pretty remarkable. The only problem with their glasses is that they’re built by Meta.

Swift is actually a really good language let down by its official IDE. Slow build times, laggy autocomplete, random crashes etc. I can’t remember Xcode ever being great to use.

What a time to be alive. 3 companies competing for what might be the next trillion dollar business. - Waymo has the advantage of launching sooner but has much more expensive vehicles which will eat into margins. - Tesla has the advantage of

I thought the idea of a folding phone was just a cash grab until I saw someone on the plane across the aisle from me interacting with one. It has been a while since I saw someone get so much enjoyment out of a device. The back and forth bet

This is a pretty big deal. Stripe is already processing billions of transactions. Additionally Stripe already has the relationship with merchants that other L1's lack along with the payment network expertise. If Stripe’s closed-loop sy

AI investment is headed toward 2% of the US GDP, getting close to the Apollo program and 10 times the manhattan project. Almost 15% of the US stock market is tied up in these investments so most of us have skin in this game whether we like

With unlimited resources, I’d solve the fundamental bottleneck holding back our species: getting off this single planet and establishing a true space-based civilization - colonizing our solar system. Along the way we’ll be solving for energ

This. The meta glasses have so much potential and it is absolutely frustrating as a developer to have no way to make use of it.

Nice work! The Meta Raybans are a fantastic device hobbled by a weak LLM and supported by a bad actor - Meta [1]. Frankly I feel dirty for running any Meta software on my phone. I can talk to ChatGPT or Claude using the glasses but unfortun

Thank you for writing this. Many software developers on HN are conflicted about ceding control of software development to LLMs for many reasons including the fact that it feels unstructured and exploratory rather than rigidly planned using

As context size in LLMs grows I suspect getting taxes done in a very near future will be something trivial. For most people it is merely a form filling task moving a set of numbers from here to there.

It is absolutely terrifying to watch tools like Cursor generate so much code. Maybe not a great analogy, but it feels like driving with Tesla FSD in New Delhi in the middle of rush hour. If you let it run ahead of you, the amount of code to

I've often wondered what impact the fact that major prominent liberal media outlets are often paywalled while conservatives one are not, has on public discourse. I have to imagine this translates to conservative media dominating online
