meteor333··on China's open-weights AI strategy is winning
I think people are missing the point here. AI's large win is in Enterprise and B2B. Especially in US, enterprises are not going to adopt Chinese models due to the hidden security and the privacy risk. In each wave of model release, Chinese have already proven to beat the performance metrics, but there is no track record of adoption.

Companies do have a huge appetite for open-weight models, but who is going to invest enough to train those models and also prove out a revenue model and ROI with it? Plus, it needs to come from someone with the track record of safety.

meteor333··on I'm Eric Ries, author of "The Lean Startup" and new book "Incorruptible" – AMA
Well said.

Thanks for the pointer. I’ll check it out.

Excited to read the book! Ordering mine today…

meteor333··on I'm Eric Ries, author of "The Lean Startup" and new book "Incorruptible" – AMA
Hi Eric, very excited to read your book. Im fan of The Lean Startup and it helped shape my couple of startups that I did (and got successful exit). Recently i've been having crisis and loss motivation on starting a new one after seeing SV getting corrupted in recent years, but im hoping your new book helps me revive the fire and show that starting a startup with the right ethics is possible.

Anyway, my question is - Have you had a chance to research OpenAI and it's path to getting "corrupted" i.e. going from Non-profit to this weird structure to then, what it looks like, absolutely regular for-profit company? whats your take on it? what are the lessons of the convoluted company structure they persuaded?

meteor333··on Ask HN: How is your org managing PR review load as AI multiplies code output?
This is a great take! I agree with the framework on this. I’d love to hear from someone who has implemented this at their org to get learnings so far
meteor333··on Ask HN: How is your org managing PR review load as AI multiplies code output?
Do you mind sharing how you implanted the trivial checks? Did you spin up your own agent? Also how are determining what is trivial or not?

This is the clearest actionable thing I’ve heard of so far, so it would be good to understand the specifics

meteor333··on Ask HN: How is your org managing PR review load as AI multiplies code output?
Thanks for sharing. It’s smart to filter or prioritize it diligently or sometimes even turn it away
meteor333··on Ask HN: How is your org managing PR review load as AI multiplies code output?
What are the strategies your team is doing to cope with it?
meteor333··on Ask HN: How is your org managing PR review load as AI multiplies code output?
Can you expand on what strategy did you use? How are you deciding what to ignore?

I know this is mostly for fun, but it would be great to see how we are trending on the predications which has more scientific approach to it.

...remember it only takes one to be right!

meteor333··on CBD products don't ease pain and are potentially harmful – new study finds
I never took CBD oil for any physical pain, so im just asking out of curiosity: Does CBD oil not act like pain killer for any immediate relief? I always thought it acts like local analgesic, is that not the case?

The article makes CBD oil sounds almost like a snake oil

meteor333··on US developers can offer non-app store purchasing, Apple still collect commission
wow! Looks like Apple finally caved.

This is a huge win for the developers, despite that pesky warning. They can still ask users to circumvent apple pay/in-app purchases and get away by not giving a revenue cut to Apple.

meteor333··on We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam to return to OpenAI as CEO
How did Larry Summers get elected? Does he have any relation with AI research or Sam Altman?

It’s also curious that none of the board members have necessarily have any experience directly with AI research

meteor333··on Show HN: Phind V2 – A GPT-4 agent that’s connected to the internet and your code
That’s pretty neat, but can it answer with code suggestions with nextjs 13?

It didn’t work for me - https://www.phind.com/agent?cache=cll1y7pwf005vmh08j2zfyead

meteor333··on Show HN: Phind V2 – A GPT-4 agent that’s connected to the internet and your code
I have same issue with ChatGPT. Since it hasn't indexed anything post Sept 2021, I keep getting this message,

> As of my last update in September 2021, Next.js 13.0 has not been released yet. However, I can provide you an example of implementing authentication using the Next.js app router approach based on the information available at that time. Keep in mind that the actual implementation may differ in later versions of Next.js.

Does Phind do something special to get around this?

meteor333··on The Webb telescope just offered a revelatory view of humanity’s distant past
is this as viewed from the earth? or as the moon placed next to the stars?
meteor333··on War Is a Racket (1935)
There are always at least two parties involved in a war, an aggressor and a defendant. 'War is a Racket' is always true or war unjustified in case of the aggressor. Defendant usually doesn't have much choice in it.

Even the example you've taken for WWII, UK and US weren't the aggressor. The war already at their door for British, so they had a little choice in it. Similarly for US they knew, if they don't do something early enough, they could end up being a victim or suffer from it eventually. So they had to support Britain in the war.

meteor333··on NYPD urges citizens to buy AirTags to fight surge in car thefts
Honest question: why dont modern cars come with similar functionality as AirTags or 'Find my phone'?

Thanks for sharing about your project!

Do you mind giving us brief on what kind of data you are collecting and highlight any interesting findings so far?

meteor333··on Tesla to recall vehicles that may disobey stop signs
I think technically it's still applicable. It's a "recall" of the software and not the physical car.
meteor333··on CEO of Waymo John Krafcik is leaving
Is there any update on how's that truly driverless program going for Waymo?
meteor333··on CEO of Waymo John Krafcik is leaving
Disagree on the economics. Pilots cost significant money and since the airline industry runs on low margins this can be a huge plus.

But the main reason we won't see planes without pilots is political and related to trust. I think for the same reasons we are less likely to see truly driverless cars.

meteor333··on CEO of Waymo John Krafcik is leaving
Fair enough. Thanks for correcting me.

But i stand corrected. Guided tracks is hardly a good comparison for this.

meteor333··on CEO of Waymo John Krafcik is leaving
Even for airplanes and trains, we still have pilots and humans behind the controller with 100% attention.
meteor333··on Swift for TensorFlow Shuts Down
I love Swift and it's potential for use cases beyond just iOS ecosystem, but I think Apple never fostered or encouraged the open source community to involve in its development.

It's another classic example where it's simply not enough to open source something, you have to really allow and encourage the developers to contribute to increase the adoption.

meteor333··on Robinhood Said to Get 40% Revenue from HFT Firms Like Citadel (2018)
Let's say it's not commission free. What are the actual costs for paying per trade. What's the math for monthly subscription if we follow Netflix model?
meteor333··on Robinhood Said to Get 40% Revenue from HFT Firms Like Citadel (2018)
But it must be possible to build an app which serves retailers as the customers vs these HFTs? For example, charging monthly subscription or paying micro fees per trade. What are the costs involved for trading directly in exchanges?
meteor333··on Robinhood Said to Get 40% Revenue from HFT Firms Like Citadel (2018)
Honest question: Is there a way to circumvent these HFT firms and create a direct trading app with retailers interest in mind?

If yes I'd love to work with someone to make this happen (technical person here).
