Hey HN! We’re Axel & Vig, the founders of Innate (https://innate.bot). We build general-purpose home robots that you can teach new tasks to simply by demonstrating them.Our system combines a robotic platform (we call the first one Maurice) with an AI agent that understands the environment, plans actions, and executes them using skills you've taught it or programmed within our SDK.| news.ycombinator.com

Hi HN friends, we're Nima (nimabanai) and Craig (cbschind) from Assemble Labs (https://assemblelabs.co) building the hardware context layer for AI to help you write better firmware faster. We’ve built an MCP server that plugs into any AI tool you’re using (Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini, etc.) and brings complete hardware context (schematics, datasheets, etc.) to your existing environment (new app fatigue is real...) with accuracy and in real time. Our goal is to make writing and debugging f...| news.ycombinator.com

Nice! I like the goals of a "simpler Haskell" for small projects ( see https://github.com/taolson/Admiran ). Some questions that weren't answered in the blog:is the evaluation model call-by-need (lazy, like Haskell) or call-by-value (strict, like most other languages)?| news.ycombinator.com
So I have all kinds of problems with this post.First, the assertion that the best model of "AI coding" is that it is a compiler. Compilers deterministically map a formal language to another under a spec. LLM coding tools are search-based program synthesizers that retrieve, generate, and iteratively edit code under constraints (tests/types/linters/CI). That’s why they can fix issues end-to-end on real repos (e.g., SWE-bench Verified), something a compiler doesn’t do. Benchmarks now show to...| news.ycombinator.com

Hello. I didn't invent Protocol Buffers, but I did write version 2 and was responsible for open sourcing it. I believe I am the author of the "manifesto" entitled "required considered harmful" mentioned in the footnote.

Yeah, I've been griping about LLM overconfidence for years, as somebody who is racked with self-doubt and second-guessing. On one hand, my own low opinion of myself made me a terrible mentor and manager, because having a similarly zero-trust policy towards my colleagues' work caused no end of friction (especially as a founder where people looked up to me for validation). On the other hand, i don't know very many top-tier practitioners that don't exhibit significantly more self-doubt than an o...| news.ycombinator.com

I keep hearing about how AGI is going to change the game and how it's going to immediately lead to a dangerous ASI. I even hear it from people I know who know almost nothing about how AI works. I am no pro myself, but I think having a fundamental understanding of how AI computes and stores information changes the perspective greatly.Firstly, what is AGI? I've never heard a decent definition. Some say it's an AI that is as smart or as general as humans; some say it's an AI that's conscious. I ...| news.ycombinator.com

Frankly, we’ve tried the kind of system ActivityPub offers before: a decentralized server network ultimately forming one big system, and the same problems have inevitably popped up every time.XMPP tried to do it for chat. All the big players adopted it and then either realized that the protocol wasn’t complex enough for the features they wanted to offer or that i...| news.ycombinator.com
