Facit CEO is a friend of mine, really glad they are getting featured here and people appreciate their approach.

The container is used to ship the tooling, you could purchase the raw material local to site and build what you need there.

It feels nuts to me that there is a push away from strict APIs to conversational interfaces for products and then the actual technology itself under the hood is translating that into a strict set of API calls in order to understand something. Would it not be better to seek interoperability with fairly well scripted natural language handshake. I feel like MCP is built for understanding language and Syntax to a greater degree but not random tools and APIs.

It sounds like you are in an awesome position where your management respect you and your work output. This most likely won't be the case in all positions you take throughout your career. Leading projects are a great way to learn after making mistakes, you also get to set the direction and get the rewards when things go right.

Practical tips on learn good techniques, do research, find the best tech companies that do similar development to yours. Check out their technical blogs, their githubs, find opensource projects which have been developed to the highest standard. Dig into them and potentially even rewrite your own simple versions to learn, maybe twin it so you could make the new implementation a part of an internal research project... so main possibilities there.

They emit methane as a by product of eating the grass, it's like chucking the grass up in the air and having to wait approx 20 years for it to fully come back down to be eaten again, it's still circular, it's still fully sustainable. Digging up fossil oils from deep ground and shuving it into the atmosphere and never ever putting it back deep into the ground is the elephant in the room here.

Could you pinpoint what exactly is not sustainable about eating meet though? In the UK (where I live) we eat meet produced mostly within the country, the livestock here are generally mostly fed a grass diet. Yes we should eat meet in moderation like anything, yes chopping down rainforests and building feeding lots is obvs horrific. But otherwise, the cattle eat the grass, they turn that into meet and farts, which fairly quickly come full circle back into the ground. No fossil fuels here. Hard to think of something more sustainable to me.

Ok that's pretty cool, I've not seen that before.

I'm solo technical founder and currently bootstrapping, not actively looking for a cofounder but looking for like-minded individuals who want to bounce ideas off each other, whether that be technical or non-technical. In my case specifically I have a consumer facing app which is live and I'm in the mystical stage of nailing down PMF.

Love react native, I'll be updating to this version soon. Really hoping it makes suspense work correctly with libs like Relay. Well done and thank you RN team.

I had exactly the same feeling. I've spent most of my career working on software for investment banks in the UK and at the end of the day you can't show your work to anyone (even if they cared) and you only get paid for the time worked. I'd known for years and years I wanted to build my own business but waited until I was in a financially feasible position to do so. And with that I had many many ideas but it mainly came down to ideas which weren't capital intensive and had a viable gtm. And with that I chose to pull the pin on https://www.getdestash.com

Thanks. Great question, improved trust, quality and experience would be the main areas.

We can do better on trust by cultivating it from this caring demographic and supporting them with a fair process. Trust for example that the product you are buying is actually in the condition stated. Parents would likely pay a small premium for this.

We feel that competitors in this field have done well expanding globally but at the same time have not done enough to improve and move forwards the overall experience of buying and selling secondhand. Even as a tiny startup we feel we are already better than the market leader in some of these regards.

Lastly by targeting only parents it allows us to change and optimise the whole process for them specifically. For example we prioritise time saving features (no bidding or offers) and we can offer services that don't make sense to non parents (school clothing).

Thanks

I generally don't read anything by gh but I think he is cryptically just referring to something like XLA, whereby your NN architecture gets compiled straight to hardware, say to a custom asic, or to an FPGA bit stream, etc.

It's definitely going to happen but I don't think it will replace CPU's much like human brains can't quite replace CPU's and what they are optimised for.

Trying to make out that TinyGrad is leading the charge in this is quite self indulgent.

Dotnet is crying out for a lightweight front end for desktop and mobile.... But not a new backend??? That's already sooo good. Strange choice to add to the ecosystem.

Snap, I'm using CDK to set it all up too which makes everything pretty easy to manage.

Also checkout projects like spinalhdl, it's not really for PCBs and doesnt have JSX but the concepts are similar. Has things like wire bundles which is where the payback from these approaches really kick in.

Awesome work, I've developed my own projects which are fairly similar to this. I would say that the auto router is the most important aspect for this to work well, and unfortunately one of the most complex areas :)

The only minor complaint is that the wires / nets / traces are also components themselves. JSX can only build tree structures but wires turn circuits into graphs, so for those I would have used plain js classes or hooks like useWire and then pass the + and - into the components. That gives you the added benefit of warning when you haven't wired up a component fully. Also allows for required and optional wire inputs on components.

Do you think some form of memory would help, i.e. RAG using semantic lookup of prior situations and thoughts and outcomes. I feel like this is something humans do intuitively to bring similar scenarios to the front of mind so we can get a basis for how to deal with novel situations...

Along with your 4D woolly jumpers

I wish there was one in typescript, I just can't get on with python.

Youtube is promoting this video as number 1 in my feed. It looks obviously like a scam to me but it's getting serious upvotes so I presume most are falling for it....

Been using dotnet on a Mac + AWS for many years, awesome combo that's only getting better.

Anyone know how these images were created or what type of prompt would be required. For example this one...

I really like the Japanese / anime style.

I'm using it for my startup :)

Of course working from home is a privilege. Lots of workers in various industries and communities don't get a choice. Literally the definition of privilege by not addressing that.

Congrats on releasing something to the world while in your second year . That's a pretty good trajectory you are on

Is it not possible to have a client / desktop OS where each app runs in its own container by default with its own writeable filesystem... I would have thought that's beneficial from a security perspective as well as making things easier to separate...

Interesting you say that, I look at a company like Arrival and think fantasy company, they don't show any of their manufacturing processes, instead doing robot dances. However, boom looks to be taking a modern but practical approach to their manufacturing and have a test plane almost ready to fly. Timelines are aggressive but if contend that wouldn't put it in fantasy land.

BTW definitely wouldnt recommend jsx it for something like a digital design / verilog replacement. Hard for me to reason even to myself why I would treat that differently to discrete component domain...

Personal preference but I would say typescript because, performance is not overly a concern when doing something like infrastructure as code, great static type checking / development integration already provided when using something like vscode and lastly because it has jsx / tsx....And so why jsx, I know that designing a circuit is more akin to a graph data structure and jsx is really more suited to a tree data structure but if you can get over that by defining your nets separately up above the components in the jsx structure then I feel like you can really harness a lot of the benefits that jsx brings to regular UI design. Again this is personal and I've mucked about with this very thing a bit myself.

Im not familiar with pulling a github repo to get at a package, if it allows anybody to make their circuits publicly available, forkable, etc then all good..
