That's the only trade-off, the app bundle is about 340MB for the first download but once you have it on your phone it will always work offline and load all assets instantly.

Why not build a receipt scanner then?
I’m in Colombia right now and they actually have a great food labeling system. It just warns you if a product contains too much sugar, salt, additives etc, without trying to score. Whereas the European labels give you a false sense that everything is nutritious.
because they are trained on multilingual data
But they were not trained on government-sanctioned homegrown EU data.
After all, it's not like they could possibly identify every single living person and tie them to their likeness.
Wasn’t he literally scanning eye balls a couple years ago?
I recently had to build a production-ready workflow in N8N - it ended up being a spaghetti flow of custom code nodes and custom http requests (because none of the provided connectors did exactly what we needed) that I was left wondering if this wouldn't be easier to code up in Cursor.
we could solve this dead time problem and start doing things on the go
Interesting idea, but how do you address car safety concerns? Studies consistently show that cognitive distraction, even with voice interfaces, can significantly increase crash risk. Wouldn’t managing emails and calendars while driving still fall into that category?
We identified a total of 1,862 MCP servers exposed to the internet. From this set, we manually verified a sample of 119. All 119 servers granted access to internal tool listings without authentication.
The tool listings are not necessarily a secret, so not sure how this is "exposed". We have a public MCP, anyone can read our tool listings, but to actually use the tools you need to authenticate.
Driving is not a general problem, though.
But what's driving a car? A generalist human brain that has been trained for ~30 hours to drive a car.
Modern games provide much stronger feedback. Now, when you hit an enemy, you might see:
the crosshair briefly changes to confirm the hit, damage numbers pop up above the enemy, sound effects, enemy death animations, a progress bar filling up, a new skill unlocked, random reward and more...
I wonder if we can gamify todo apps in the same way, most are too boring and too corporate. It should implement all gaming bells and whistles for ensuring you complete your tasks.
or be in epistemically different worlds where international competition is irrelevant (eg clearance filters based in nationality, government and military, market that has exotic languages, etc).
I like this hedging strategy, can probably also apply this to the risk of AI taking over our jobs (licensed professions won’t be going away any time soon).
According to Dutch law, you lose your Dutch citizenship if you accept another nationality. The Dutch embassies (who are responsible for renewing Dutch passports abroad) are well aware of this law and have processes in place to refuse a passport renewal if you can’t provide proof of temporary residence in the country you reside in. The local institutions however, don’t have these processes in place and are generally not aware of this law because it only happens to a tiny little percentage of the population. And nobody updates the national registry with your new nationality because that’s the responsibility of local municipalities, not the Department of Foreign Affairs. So if you decide to simply renew your passport in the Netherlands instead of abroad, they’ll just give you a new passport because you’re still registered as a Dutch citizen at the local level and they don’t have a process in place to check your foreign nationality.
Don’t ask me how I know :) It is one of the few accountability sinks that doesn’t affect me negatively.
Great, thanks!
This is interesting but why do you make it so hard to view the actual agents.json file? After clicking around in the registry (https://wild-card.ai/registry) for 10 minutes I still haven't found one example.

I do not understand how:
1) Someone actually thought this was a good idea
2) Someone actually built it
3) YC actually funded it
Yeah but the MagSafe charger I've spent $150 on doesn't work without the magnetic part.
26 hours of battery life but you still have to charge it with a cable (they didn't add MagSafe). This might be a deal breaker for me…
In about 2 weeks since OpenAI launched their $200/mo version of Deep Research, it has already been open sourced within 24 hours (Hugging Face) and now being offered for free by Perplexity. The pace of disruption is mind boggling and makes you wonder if OpenAI has any moats left.
On modern social media platforms, each person gets their own, personalized feed.
I notice this with streaming platforms like Netflix as well, there is no longer a channel that we all watch (not even in the same household), so a lot of water boiler talk about TV shows have disappeared. The only conversations I have about TV shows are now on reddit.
After many years of dealing with chat bots, I think we can all agree that we don't want chat-based interfaces to order our pizza (clicking buttons and scrolling through lists of options is way way faster). I can't think of many other things I'd like to accomplish by chat that I wouldn't want to do through a website or an app. My eyes bleed watching the AI crawl tediously slow to place a pizza order for me.
But… what if I told you that AI could generate an context-specific user interface on the fly to accomplish the specific task at hand. This way we don't have to deal with the random (and often hostile) user interfaces from random websites but still enjoy the convenience of it. I think this will be the future.
Someone else had the same question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31815204
Initially, I thought it was a solution for companies to manage their miscellaneous software licenses, but after some time I figured out it's a solution if you want to offer your own licensing. The gen-z ultra-wide fonts didn't help with readability either.
I always see these videos [1] about helical movement of the bodies, which intuitively make more sense to me rather than assuming that the Sun itself is static and the bodies moving in a static circle around it. Is that really true?
This paper has been available for a few weeks, and I wrote an article [1] exploring how to apply its inner workings to the design of multi-agent systems. If you can design "reasoning" at the model level, you can also design "reasoning" in larger, more complex systems using the same principles.

I'm guessing English isn't their first language.

but they never solve the first problem I have, which is actually constructing the KG itself.
I’ve noticed this too and the ironic thing is that building the KG is the most critical part of making everything work.
