I think that's totally fine and I'm surprised this isn't being actively considered. As long as there are enough judges for swift action.

This is super cool. As a question, are the instructions re-generated from the instruction tokens everytime. While maybe costly, this feels like it would be robust to small changes in the app (and component name changes etc.). Does that mak

While I agree the concept of "Warrantless" here is bad, I think we can find solutions here that meet the spirit of the law. For very long our justice system has operated under the principle that Law enforcement cannot catch every

Serious question from someone who is regularly tasked with hiring Juniors. What IS a good assessment for entry-level/right out of college positions? -> GPA can be gamed, as laid out. -> Take Home assessments can mostly be gamed

Honestly, in this situation, you want paying customers not VC-funding. YC at least has an objective application process (VC's don't, it just cold-email) and even then the acceptance rate makes it a non-viable dependable strategies

ooooo Yea forgot about RTK GPS. I’ve always found them to be so brittle but that’s because I’m in a city. In the wide open sky, I’m guessing it’s pretty reliable. Vision systems would be pretty useless with the low visibility of the smoke a

I know the control algorithms are the mind-blowing part here but, does anyone have any literature about how the Rocket localized itself with respect to the chopstick arms? It must've been some combination of GPS and Radar pings to the

The idea that government institutions suddenly got more scandal ridden after 1990's is just pure golden age fallacy. News networks, twitter and podcasts got 100x better at making mountains out of mole-hills because they had continuou

Then why is the problem worst among Boomers [1]? Alternate Theory: This is purely the result of "too much news". Breathless coverage of every little detail means every little mis-step blows up to infinity, quickly eroding trust. T

Wow. Can Valetudo provide artificially blocked cloud features? For example the Roborock S5 doesn't have persistent maps, though it would be trivial to just keep one loaded in the cloud, but Roborock would rather you upgrade to an S7. W

Unfortunately this narrative is imperceptibly different from Russian propaganda (eg, leaving out that Russia regularly buzzes American airspace in Alaska). So if you want to make this case, you’ll have to find a narrative that works for Ukr

Handcrafted CV algorithms and this level of autonomy is textbook AI, it’s just not Machine Learning.

YC does fund defense companies, esp tech innovative ones, a posture change they made due to the situation in Taiwan and Ukraine [1] But they didn’t fund Palantir or Anduril or any of the companies that blew up during the Border Panics of 20

Barring societal collapse, I don't see a scenario in which extra energy isn't used up and as long as it's sold at market prices the government investments should be fine.

Can I currently put a VAD module in the pipeline and only send audio when there is an active conversation? Feel like just that would solve the problem?

Except the article makes none of these points. The article is saying: a) "the technology is overhyped", based on some meaningless subjective criteria, if you think a technology is overhyped, don't invest your money or time in

Super cool! Didn't realize OpenAI is just using LiveKit. Does the pricing breakdown to be the same as having a OpenAI Advanced Voice socket open the whole time? It's like $9/hr! It would be theoretically cheaper to use this w

Agreed. Looks like the founder agrees too[1], that was a pointless waste of time. [1]: https://x.com/CodeFryingPan/status/1840831339337302204

AFAICT, the attribution's been there since the beginning on their GitHub? (see: About section)[1]. I agree adding their own license was hamfisted, but honestly, if I'm funding a company I hope they would spend less than <$1 on

Did they? YC regularly funded competitors. This was always true. Fundamentally, YC is betting on founders. They're optimizing for founders who can move fast enough to find a moat before they die, that's it. They fund competitors b

This is an indictment of Twitter tbh. Not YC. A lot (most?) YC founders aren't even on Twitter.

"did some clunky work on it. That was their entry to YC" For more context, YC doesn't judge your code, never has. It was never a code quality competition. Orthogonally, they do judge the results (user metrics).

"The issue isn't that PearAI did something illegal—it's that they got funded by YC with nothing more than a codebase copied from another YC-backed company. This shows that (1) YC is willing to fund just about anything, (2) th

My point was every other problem would be made worse by a billionaire pushing his/her money in there. Everyone is a couple of billions of money funneled away from becoming the next George Soros. If you don’t think NIMBYism and degrowth

Yes this has basically been the modus operandi of the gates foundation and it took them 10 years to make a dent on Malaria. They still have no clue how to “efficiently” reduce famines. They won’t touch American housing problems with a 10ft
