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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Why YC went to DC 2 years ago

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.'

Meta Llama 3 2 years ago

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.

I always love reading myopic technology takes on this site.

Based on the article, it sounds like they're in exploratory talks to figure out what that "AI device" could be. I agree that it's likely we've already figured out the right form factors for such a device, but it's not a leap to imagine a significantly better UX than what we have from today's computing devices.

The movie "Her" seems like a decent blueprint for a post-smartphone "AI device".

I paid $148 USD for the HD595s in 2011. They still work just as well today, but I'm disappointed to find out 14 years later I was conned into paying more for a false premium.

A tb4 kvm would be nice. I use a dock with my 2 laptops primarily to split video and USB to use with a kvm I share with my desktop so I don't have to switch out mouse, keyboard, and headset between everything.

I will say my favorite accessory has been my particular KVM that allows me to switch between my dock and desktop with a special keyboard command. Beats fiddling directly with the many buttons I had to press on my monitor to switch video inputs previously.

This is going to be the case with any sufficiently scaled business. I feel the same way about how marketing and sales people talk about human beings as an opportunity to qualify for their sales funnel.

I'm sure others might feel similarly disgusted how software developers and business people talk about users. I personally find it gross that high spenders are commonly referred to as whales.

Maybe your opinion, but I'm not sure how you could come to that conclusion. Software is a critical part of people's daily lives and the successful functioning of modern society. Some, but certainly not all, software developers actually work on systems designed to improve some aspect of the human experience and not on systems designed to continuously extract money or attention from their users.

As someone that drastically simplified their desk setup for 3 computers this year: YES. A KVM would easily solve this.

You would need a triple monitor KVM with at least 2 USB inputs. You could also get an Ultrawide monitor to simplify further, which is what I have done.
