For me the most striking thing about this was before the Brexit referendum there was rhetoric about how the UK would form a CANZUK alliance with free movement of people and goods between these countries, forming a sort of English speaking E

pg would argue Starbucks the Umbrella group is startup as it's an franchise operation focussed on growth. A single instance of Starbucks is a business focussed on turning a profit. In fact even the name YC is YCombinator, which in prog

It's amazing, people act as if there wasn't shit code before LLMs. LLMs are just another multiplier. A liability in the hands of incompetence and an asset in the hands competence. Another tool, knowledge will always empower those

I have a script that changes the background colour of my terminal based on whatever directory or server I'm in. That's enough beauty for me, I do believe there is such a thing as over configuring and defaults are very powerful. Th

I agree YC funding Flock is bad but I don't think you're helping. You're making it seem like there is an orchestrated effort to discredit YC rather than articulating this is poor form on their part.

They are a YCombinator company! TIL. I'm genuinely taken aback by that. I can clearly see a bunch of brand new accounts brigading the thread, YCisComplict, YCisBad etc. Presumably bots or something but this is still bad even discountin

It's still in beta unfortunately but this is Hacker News and it's okay to share software before it hits prod. People want to be ahead of the curve and it looks promising.

Power generates healthy scepticism and contempt. Since Mistral has very little relative to other AI companies it doesn't draw the same ire. Like Lovable they seem to settling in to a niche but in this case supplying AI to large EU firm

MVP would be widely understood on this forum to mean "Minimum Viable Product", I don't think that's what you meant. Options are always good to have.

It's how all hyperscalers and kickstarter work so small and big companies. You raise based on an idea and a sample. Who invests? Those who want to see the product made i.e. instead of buying an album. You invest in a band who promises

I'd rather Germany had been first on the Moon, instead of the US. Disclosing a preference isn't necessarily insightful commentary on achievements.

Look at Silicon Valley Bank that was also "too big to fail" and when it did the taxpayer had to bail it out. If something is too big to fail, it's too big, the regulator should have stepped in earlier to chop it up.
