If you want desktop and mobile builds.

Tauri 2.0 added support for iOS and Android builds as targets.

It's a great thing for consumers and businesses to have another competitive, American coding harness + frontier coding model duo. No one wants a crippled version of codex or claude code and surely SpaceX isn't paying $60 billion for that outcome.

What an incredible outcome for the Cursor team. Hopefully the Cursor + xAI teams working together can produce a competitive frontier model.

One would hope the vscode fork with a $50B valuation and no moat, would wisely spend the money they raised to build a moat.

With agentic search, they actually do pretty well with monorepos.

It's the name given to an initiative by telco vendors like Nokia and Ericson to explore using NVIDIA GPUs to supply the core compute needs of next generation Radio Access Networks (RAN).

It's a potential 6G architecture.

That's what it looks like. This post gives me the impression it is a bit more narrowly scoped and streamlined compared to A2P: https://stripe.com/blog/developing-an-open-standard-for-agen...

Patrick, congratulations on launching Tempo. If there was a company where it actually made sense to build and use a blockchain it would be Stripe.

The website is a bit painful to read but I thought it provided good general information for potential partners.

As as a dev, my questions are why did your team decide to build a new L1 chain instead of an Ethereum L2 and why did you all stick with the EVM architecture instead of looking at something like the MoveVM?

For all of its flaws, the EU does attempt to protect consumers. Lina Khan had a good run while she was around.

This. I also think e-mail clients are a more natural interface for managing multiple async conversations/tasks with models/agents from different providers.

There's also nothing stopping this product from expanding to other interfaces/modalities like voice or sms.

Congratulations on your launch.

farco12 — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 20:30:16 +0000

Thank you for the update!

I recently attempted to use the Google Drive integration but didn't follow through with connecting because Claude wanted access to my entire Google Drive. I understand this simplifies the user experience and reduced time to ship, but is there anyway the team can add "reduce the access scope of Google Drive integration" to your backlog. Thank you!

Also, I just caught the new Github integration. Awesome.

I could see the cost of licensing data to train models increasing significantly, but the cost of compute for training models is only going to drop on a $/PFLOP basis.

I can say from using the chat interface, Claude 3.5 is a top tier model for coding tasks. I used ChatGPT Pro previously, but I really find the experience of using Claude much more enjoyable overall.

farco12 — Tue, 06 Aug 2024 17:49:03 +0000

It was a good brand name when it launched, but not for how it evolved.

It was a device that made it possible to cast video from your Chrome browser. When it was released in 2013 it reinforced the superior utility of Chrome which had just began to dominate browser market share.

Embedding the Google Cast protocol directly into video streaming apps and having the Chromecast brand name coexist alongside the Android TV and Google TV brand names made things confusing.

farco12 — Tue, 04 Jun 2024 15:39:35 +0000

I'm grateful Gary and YC are doing this.

From a communication strategy standpoint, I'm just curious what the thinking was to go with 'Little Tech' to refer to new tech startups? I understand the purpose is to succinctly stand in contrast to 'Big Tech', but the word 'Little' somehow feels a bit more cutesy or infantilizing to me than saying 'Small Tech.'

farco12 — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 18:37:46 +0000

Mark probably figured Meta would gain knowledge and experience more rapidly if they threw Llama out in the wild while they caught up to the performance of the bigger & better closed source models. It helps that unlike their competition, these models aren't a threat to Meta's revenue streams and they don't have an existing enterprise software business that would seek to immediately monetize this work.
