New comment by clayhacks in "Hyundai buys Boston Dynamics"

clayhacks — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 20:14:18 +0000

Getting to a cheap household helper robot requires building the expensive one. I don’t think Boston dynamics believes any reasonable consumer would buy their atlas robot, but by building it and scaling its production in industrial use cases they will learn things that make building a cheaper one much easier. And they will have built some factories to mass produce them. It’s not something that will be in everyone’s home next year, but sooner or later the robot hardware and robot intelligence will both be cheap enough to be accessible by average people (at least in the developed world)

I’m a big fan of this notion. My hot water dispenser has a magnetic power dongle kinda like macbooks MagSafe, but bulkier [0]. Ideally something like that would be more standardized across appliances the way some of the other three prong power cords are.

Just use litellm or any-llm if you want to convert to OpenAI format. They did used to have bespoke per model interfaces that were way worse

New comment by clayhacks in "Our eighth generation TPUs: two chips for the agentic era"

clayhacks — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 16:34:44 +0000

Yeah trainium and inferentia. They’re just not nearly as well supported on the software level. Google has already made sure this new generation will be supported by vllm, sglang, etc. Amazons chips barely support those and only multiple versions back. Super under invested in (at least on the open source side)

Yeah the spy network is just all these people living in a 7 mile radius of each other (San Francisco) and have lots of overlap in social circles

clayhacks — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 16:02:07 +0000

Yeah, I’ve been beta testing the Streamyfin tvOS app. it’s now about on par with the official tvOS client, but feels like it’s making more progress regularly

There definitely is a cap. I believe once you make more than $176k you stop being taxed for that

New comment by clayhacks in "Nothing Ever Happens: Polymarket bot that always buys No on non-sports markets"

Someone needs to make a market on whether or not this is profitable

New comment by clayhacks in "An AI robot in my home"

clayhacks — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 05:43:52 +0000

I wanna do this but with a locally running LLM. They’re getting better and better. Can’t wait for something like Taalas to ship custom LLM hardware for personal use

New comment by clayhacks in "VitruvianOS – Desktop Linux Inspired by the BeOS"

clayhacks — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 07:21:47 +0000

Ok maybe I’m too young, but what is BeOS? Everyone here is linking other alternatives, but no one’s linked to the original BeOS. Or is it gone now?

New comment by clayhacks in "Reports of code's death are greatly exaggerated"

clayhacks — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 02:49:23 +0000

Yeah it’s gonna make the bar for good enough here super easy to meet and people will have less reasons to look around outside

New comment by clayhacks in "FBI is buying location data to track US citizens, director confirms"

clayhacks — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 22:16:38 +0000

Yeah, if you had any faith in these private companies to not bend over backwards for the feds, I have a bridge in San Francisco to sell you

New comment by clayhacks in "Launch HN: Chamber (YC W26) – An AI Teammate for GPU Infrastructure"

clayhacks — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 18:17:45 +0000

No concrete pricing anchors makes this basically useless. Give some estimates for various team sizes even if it’s not exactly what you will charge

New comment by clayhacks in "Humanoid robot: The evolution of Kawasaki’s challenge"

clayhacks — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 22:30:46 +0000

Yeah I think there’s plenty of room for more bolted arm robots, it’s just similar to the humanoids they need better AI. There’s also room for more optimisation on the entire system design around more specialized robots. I think some industries work really well for that kind of revamp, and have already begun doing so. Others are waiting for the cost curve to fall for it to be worth the investment

New comment by clayhacks in "Sub-$200 Lidar could reshuffle auto sensor economics"

clayhacks — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 08:58:16 +0000

I’d definitely feel much better if most cameras in the world were replaced by LIDAR. I feel like it would be much tougher to have a flawless facial recognition program with LIDAR alone

New comment by clayhacks in "Trump's global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court"

clayhacks — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 17:32:40 +0000

No the consumers paid the price of the tariffs. These refunds are going to businesses who just passed the price along

It’s not super well fleshed out by Tailscale but they have a guide.

My last company ran our own DERP servers to have more consistent endpoints we controlled

clayhacks — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 08:04:12 +0000

I assume this allows them to sue for different amounts. And not discourage too many people from using it.

New comment by clayhacks in "Apple introduces new AirTag with longer range and improved findability"

clayhacks — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 07:49:14 +0000

Not that I’ve found. Seems pretty reasonable trade off to me if it notified both parties rather than just the person with the tag

New comment by clayhacks in "LLVM AI tool policy: human in the loop"

clayhacks — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 04:55:25 +0000

I’ve seen a bunch of my colleagues say this when I ask about the code they’ve submitted for review. Incredibly frustrating, but likely to become more common
