They could be converting on products the user didn’t even begin with an intention to buy, which would be impossible to compare with their existing flows.
Not really, cause they will have lots of years to catch up to Only whatever is in vogue at the moment while adopting what surrounds them growing up. They won't have to unlearn and let go of their own pride or sunk cost into specializing on the wrong thing.
This wasn't a software acquisition at all. They were already able to use Astral's software just like anyone else. They wanted a good dev-tools team so that's what they bought.
> the Astral team will join the Codex team at OpenAI and over time, we’ll explore deeper integrations that allow Codex to interact more directly with the tools developers already use
We need to buy a company that brought a revolution in python tooling
If LLMs and GTP5 codex is soo good then how isn't all tooling related to OpenAI ebinf written by it?
Same goes for Claude. They say Claude writes Claude... Why isn't Claude Code then writtten by Claude in such a way that it has a platform specific optimized binary rather than an Electron app.
It's almost as if they're generating hype for their sales/valuation
Because they need tooling in the next few months and not in 5 years.
Ofc its hype-based, when they say Claude writes Claude they mean Claude types most code, but the product decisions are made by people.
AI atm is not good without proper steering and most importantly AI doesn't decide what to build.
I'd wager astral team won't end up typing as much code for Codex, but they sure will architect and design the way people will interact through codex with a lot of dev tools in the ecosystem. That's what I would pay for in their shoes, access to their vision and already proven track record to design good tools.
Why does it work on the plane?
are the constant handoffs between satellites not enough to break connections or cause extremely high packet loss for it to suck?

Not to pretend this isn't widely happening behind the curtains already, but coming from a "Show HN" seems daring.
I can't comment on what is legal, but I very much dislike the idea that my comments are the property of Y Combinator. I assume that by writing here, I am putting information out into the world for anyone to use as they wish.
HN/YC cares more about community aesthetics than your right to be forgotten.
Try to have your account and its contents deleted. The best I was offered for my 2011-vintage account was to randomize the username, and the reason I was given was that browsing and old thread with a bunch of deleted comments "looks bad".
I agree with this policy, deleting comments isn't fair to all the other people who replied to that comment. I don't see how this goes against what I said?
I was responding to your statement that you don't like that your comments are the property of YC. I was elaborating on how they hold our content (that we author) hostage because it looks pretty.
Not wanting your comments to be property of YC but then also being okay with them refusing to delete your content doesn't make sense to me. Those seem like fundamentally-opposed viewpoints.
Now I'm thinking about it, I wonder what they do with GDPR deletion requests?
If comments here were for anybody to use as they wish, then anybody could use them for whatever they liked and (thus) YC could refuse to delete them. Being okay with both of those doesn't isn't a fundamentally-opposed viewpoint. One is a logical consequence of the other.
AFAICT, you retain the copyrights to your comments, but YC has a license to essentially do whatever they want with them.
So, you could additionally give a license to the world to use your posted comments freely. That doesn't mean HN can't add terms to say clients can't copy the site as a condition for use.
Differences:
Sharded SQLITE, used bigquery export, build script is open on GitHub, interactive “archived website” view of HN, updated weekly (each build takes a couple dollars on a custom GitHub runner)
@keepamovin thanks, your project was a big inspiration for this.
I built my own pipeline with a slightly different setup. I use Go to download and process the data, and update it every 5 minutes using the HN API, trying to stay within fair use. It is also easy to tweak if someone wants faster or slower updates.
One part I really like is the "dynamic" README on Hugging Face. It is generated automatically by the code and keeps updating as new commits come in, so you can just open it and quickly see the current state.
The code is still a bit messy right now (I open sourced it together with around 3.6M lines across 100+ other tools, hidden in a corner of GitHub, anyone interested can play Sherlock Holmes and find it :) ), but I will clean it up, and open source as clearer new repository and write a proper blog post explaining how it works.
Connecting directly with the author of the project that inspired me is awesome.
Let's collaborate and see how we can make our two projects work together.
DuckDB has a feature that can write to SQLite: https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/core_extensions/sqlite. Starting from Parquet files, we could use DuckDB to write into SQLite databases. This could reduce ingress time to around five minutes instead of a week.
If I have some free time this weekend, I would definitely like to contribute to your project. Would you be interested?
As for my background, I focus on data engineering and data architecture. I help clients build very large-scale data pipelines, ranging from near real-time systems (under 10 ms) to large batch processing systems (handling up to 1 billion business transactions per day across thousands of partners). Some of these systems use mathematical models I developed, particularly in graph theory.
One of the things that i got interested in from the comments on my show was parquet. Everyone raving about it. Happy to see a project using that today.
This site offers a public, non rate-limted API. IANAL but I'm reasonably certain that's authorization for anyone to use the data as long as they do so through the API. It certainly isn't the case that you need explicit legal permission to use Hacker News comment data in your project.
There have been tons of alternative frontends and projects using HN data over the years, posted to Show HN without an issue. I think their primary concern is interfering with the YCombinator brand itself. "the site" and "site content" referring to YCombinator and not HN specifically.
Then why does the API is available for hackernews? If nothing is allowed to be copied legally.
And why this post is approved as "Show HN" if it's illegal? Don't get the reasoning here.
For what it's worth, there is an official, daily updated public dataset of all posts and comments. Therefore, the data clearly isn't something they consider a trade secret.
Come on now. I pull the slot machine every time I ask my coworker Digbert to work on a ticket.
Will Digbert be able to handle it or will he pretend to handle it? Or will he handle it in a way that it will break again in six weeks and will evolve into his full time job for a year?
If this is gambling, middle management has been gambling for too long.
You know there is a difference between a tool being unable to predictably accomplish its task, and asking employees to do work and them failing to do so. The accountability alone is leagues apart.
> the rule is expected to make quarterly reporting optional and not eliminate it altogether.
Would there be any incentive for companies to still report quarterly? would reporting make them appear more transparent than 6month reporter competitors in their space?
