Yep exactly, might as well use a language that works with JSON natively like TypeScript; which has arguably far more powerful type system than Go.

Did you miss the comment where they said, "We’re still planning to address this within the next few months."?

Just because your niche issue isn't resolved, it is kind of a jerk move to blast them on HN especially when they've recently replied saying the issue is on their radar.

In less popular open source projects this is what drives devs to abandon them.

Twitter is once again worth $44 billion which arguably was an inflated price at the time of purchase. Tesla is a trillion dollar company. xAI is reportedly at $120 billion.

Idk man, big picture, I see nothing, but success with the media focusing on just the speed bumps along the way

Starship is going to launch the next gen Starlink satellites which SpaceX desperately needs to get in the air as with 5 million subscribers their service is being over saturated around the world. Especially in the developing world and many other places where Starlink hands down beats terrestrials offerings.

In terms of Elon's contribution, you couldn't be more wrong. It was Elon's decision to pursue Starlink - a business model that had bankrupted all previous companies that attempted it. Elon's decision to pursue reusability which made Starlink feasible. Elon's decision to fire all the upper management of Starlink when the program wasn't going well - and in under a year of that decision had completely redesigned satellites in orbit. And now it's Elon's decision to pursue Starship that is a money furnace, but if it pays off Starlink 3.0 could bring in an order of magnitude more money than it does now.

The same high risk, high reward methodology with a good dose of micro-management is how he's brought six distinct companies to multi billion dollar valuations. And how he's succeeded despite the incessant reporting of his or his companies imminent failure.

I shouldn’t be downvoted for asking a question that threatens the narrative. My downvotes are a record of the bias here. I’ll do it again.

C# can turn lambdas into expression trees at runtime allowing libraries like EF to transform code like `db.Products.Where(p => p.Price < 100).Select(p => p.Name);` right to SQL by iterating the structure of that code. JavaScript ORMs would be revolutionized if they had this ability.

Look I found a real source, not conjecture. How hard was that?

"Tornado warnings were delayed because of reduced staff." Source? How long was the delay?

Edit: Really? Downvote me for asking a super simple question? Sorry if I threaten the narrative.

Looks like Apple might be prioritizing gaming for the next gen Vision devices? Hopefully, as I know many, myself included that passed on the Vision because the gaming support wasn't there. Price was never an issue.

I actually agree. Telling friends and family will get you more of a 'flash in the pan' response. They are not content creators or influencers. You need to do advertising to figure out if your product/business is even economically feasible.

For example, run an ad campaign on Google, figure out your CPC (cost per customer). See if that is even below your LTV (lifetime value per customer) plus operating expenses. And then tweak all the variables in your product and campaign to actually create some sort of sustainable business flywheel.

Having an amazing product and 'waiting' for your network to spread the word to all potential customers.. it's absurd to think that would work. It's hard enough even with big ad campaigns to reach potential customers.

This makes no sense. I build a great product. How the hell am I supposed to tell anyone about it outside of my immediate friends and family? Am I supposed to rely on the network effect to reach an audience? That sounds insane.

Capitalism depends on advertising to let people know of the product or service that is more cost effective than existing solutions. The advertising budget is dependent on knowing your product is actually good enough to justify the expense. Without advertising, competition itself doesn't work.

I hope like the previous 20 years, his companies just get more and more successful. I like electric cars, and rockets, and AI, and tunnels, and brain implants, and less government spending, and real people with flaws.

No, but you’d make for a good writer of TSLQ fan fiction.

Unity, Blender and Photoshop all have rough MCP integrations available. You can find them on GitHub.

And AI/robotics is what is turbo charging execution.

Competition and the value of a dollar are not related. If a dollar can go far then that's great. You can compete in business, or sports, or video games whatever. That's great.

We produce/consume a lot of things like media and other goods/services that we don't really need. When productivity is channeled into low value things, we all end up having to work more.

I just tried it for the first time and it was a pretty cool experience. Will definitely be using this more. Thanks for the tip!

I'm sure they're working on it. This MCP stuff is early days. Even I am just finding out about it's integration into Blender and Unity in this thread.

Depends on what's available for the language, but yea Wavenet and Neural2. With OpenAI TTS I'd often get weird bugs where the first API call comes back all garbled, but the second API call comes back fine. Wasting money. On top of that more expensive and higher latency. I'm interested to try out this new one.

It's good for everybody. We have to work less to survive. Everyone is more productive at whatever they do. The value is in the ideas not the medium. You might write a book and I'll take it and use AI to turn it into audio, or a tv series, or a movie, or a video game.

The bottleneck is no longer on labor to turn ideas into reality, the bottleneck is imagination itself. It's incredible. The cost to produce/consume going down along with many other facets of the economy translates into deflation.

If you make less money, or work less hours, or only have a single person in your family work - that's ok because money will go further. That's the whole idea behind Star Trek, the first step though was intelligent computers, automation and robots. Harnessed in a way that doesn't backfire on us.

That's a really cool page thanks. Does it have stats for other languages?

In my experience the OpenAI TTS APIs were really bad, messing up all the time in foreign languages. Practically unusable for my use case. You'd have to use the gpt-4o-audio-preview to get anything close to passable, but it was expensive. Which is why I'm using Google TTS which is very fast, high quality, and provides first class support for almost every language.

I look forward to comparing it with this model, the price being the same is unfortunate as there's less incentive to switch. The transcribe price is cheaper than Google it looks like so that's worth considering.

It looks like they are targeting Google's TTS price point which is $16 per million characters which comes out to $0.015/minute.

Is this right? The current best TTS from OpenAI uses gpt-4o-audio-preview which is $2.50 input text, $80 output audio, the new gpt-4o-mini-tts is $0.60 input text, $12 output audio. An average 5x price reduction.

Going the other way, transcribe with gpt-4o-audio-preview price was $40 input audio, $10 output text, the new gpt-4o-transcribe is $6 input audio and $10 output text. Like a 7x reduction on the input price.

TTS/Transcribe with gpt-4o-audio-preview was a hack where you had to prompt with 'listen/speak this sentence:' and it often got it wrong. These new dedicated models are exactly what we needed.

I'm currently using the Google TTS API which is really good, fast and cheap. They charges $16 per million characters which is exactly the same as OpenAI's $0.015 per minute estimate.

Unfortunately it's not really worth switching over if the costs are exactly the same. Transcription on the other hand is 1.6¢/minute with Google and 0.6¢/minute with OpenAI now, that might be worth switching over for.

It breaks economics in a good way. Less resources spent on all kinds of media and other things is deflationary. Prices go down, a single person can provide for a family working less hours.

Watching a video on it now, thanks!

I recently got into creating avatars for VR and have used AI to learn Unity/Blender so ridiculously fast, like just a couple weeks I've been at it now. All the major models can answer basically any question. I can paste in screenshots of what I'm working on and questions and it will tell me step by step what to do. I'll ask it what particular settings mean, there are so many settings in 3d programs; it'll explain them all and suggest defaults. You can literally give Gemini UV maps and it'll generate textures for you, or this for 3d models. It feels like the jump before/after stack overflow.

The game Myst is all about this magical writing script that allowed people to write entire worlds in books. That's where it feels like this is all going. Unity/Blender/Photoshop/etc.. is ripe for putting a LLM over the entire UI and exposing the APIs to it.

He had everything to do with it. If you can't tell by now, he wants to be involved in everything. Recognizing good ideas from bad ones and empowering the right engineers to do it is everything. Look at any of SpaceX's competitors or even other countries space programs to see what poor leadership looks like.

He also had a theory pretty close to the big bang in Eureka. It offended a lot of people at the time

Transcript: "But I will say that I think Go definitely is much more low-level. I'd say it's the lowest level language we can get to and still have automatic garbage collection. It's the most native-first language we can get to and still have automatic GC. In contrast, C# is sort of bytecode-first, if you will. There are some ahead-of-time compilation options available, but they're not on all platforms and don't really have a decade or more of hardening. They weren't engineered that way to begin with. I think Go also has a little more expressiveness when it comes to data structure layout, inline structs, and so forth."
