> the company doesn't care about community and only cares about profit.

There are plenty of examples of VC funded companies that care about community & don't "only care about profit". Bluesky is a good one (literally a community / social platform). That's such a black & white take it baffles me.

> Taking VC is an albatross that means a large portion of devs will never trust you or use your services

A "large portion of devs" (the majority) use so many VC funded services? Probably _most_ services devs use are VC funded. GitHub itself - was VC funded.

You can have an anti-VC opinion but you have to also live in reality.

Unrelated; what does "mendral" mean? It's a very... unmemorable word

We have already found out, Waymo is SAE Level 4, Tesla is SAE Level 2

I own a Tesla (and subscribe to "FSD", >70% of my miles are FSD without issue). As it stands though, Waymo is by every metric objectively better at "autonomous driving".

I would also love to see every car brand have full autonomous driving. It seems like you think you must be in one camp or another, and that one has to "beat" the other - but that's not true. Both can be successful - wouldn't that be a great world?

Your original post was very public under a very well known brand - you have no expectation of privacy after that. People are going to respond to you publicly.

I love it. The UX is terrible but the visualization is very "outside the box". Experiments like this are important on the road to finding novel interfaces. Not everything has to look like a v0 shadcn app. Thank you for sharing!

Ask HN: What non-AI projects are you working on?

kikki — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 02:45:40 +0000

We must be at critical mass now - I’m pretty tired of every project or business I see being something LLM based. I get it - it’s the new thing - but there’s such little creativity in this space right now it’s just not very interesting? I used to be so excited to read about the startups happening from the community on HN!

What cool projects or startups are people working on that aren’t (at least directly) caught up in the AI hype?

Why do you need to overtake it? Playnite is open source, you could contribute to it to make it better.

Both - but primary the cloud offering. The main author (https://x.com/heyandras) is pretty open about the project revenue its sources. If I remember correctly they're at about 10k MRR mostly from Coolify Cloud.

Edit: Latest "post" (xeet?) https://mobile.x.com/heyandras/status/1901894087604916396 I could find about revenue

I think trained knowledge is less and less important - as these multi-modal models have the ability to search the web and have much larger context windows.

While inevitable, I am impressed they are refunding all purchases, including hardware. That can't be cheap.

Oh - my bad - I thought you were a contributor to Lapce (which apparently uses Druid). Iced looks nice too, but it's missing a lot of core features that I think are pretty crucial (e.g. Multi-windows).
