simonerlic··on U.S. pulling ocean sensors a 'shock' for Canadian research as El Niño nears
I worked directly with the Ocean Networks Canada team for my engineering capstone project- they're a fantastic crew who are really clearly dedicated to providing open access to their data (they have a free API if you want to play with it!)

It's honestly a shame that this happened, but I hope they can use it to give a compelling argument for more funding in the future to expand the network (and make up the loss of data)

simonerlic··on Ask HN: Are you still using a Vision Pro?
I own a pair of the Even G2s (with a prescription) plus the R1 ring - they started out a bit limited, but they recently added an app store for developers to create HUD applications for which has been fun.

They get a B+ as daily glasses, but if more than one of the "killer features" (e.g. teleprompter, conversate, live translate) really gets your attention they are worth it.

simonerlic··on AI Product Graveyard
A lot of these were just company projects on their own subdomain being folded into the main company. I don't know if I'd consider that "dead" or "acquired", just restructured?
simonerlic··on Claude.ai unavailable and elevated errors on the API
Someone should tell Anthropic that 89.999 is the wrong "four nines" of uptime
simonerlic··on P-computers can solve spin-glass problems faster than quantum systems
Good sign that Extropic may be on the right path here
simonerlic··on Extropic is building thermodynamic computing hardware
What, is a bit of whimsy illegal?

A strange game; the only winning move is not to play
simonerlic··on Zed Decoded: Async Rust
I don't mean to reply-guy this thread, but it builds on Windows (and Linux)

simonerlic··on Zed Decoded: Async Rust
To be fair, this isn't just a random group of people - they're the people who made Atom, Electron, and Tree-sitter.
simonerlic··on Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source
Be the change you want to see in the world (it is open source, after all)
simonerlic··on Mistral "Mixtral" 8x7B 32k model [magnet]
I originally thought so too, but as far as I know Bard is available in France- so I have a feeling that language isn't the roadblock here.
