Nice, congrats. But that O looks like an ass.


That's the corporate design of the industry: Why do AI company logos look like buttholes? - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43649640


this, Vercel is at ~10B valuation with a business built atop React - they should and will probably take more of Meta space as stewards for it.


Please no. They don't have the best interests of React in mind.

They threw the resources behind RSC to make React, a framework for frontend reactivity, force opt-in for frontend reactivity. Meta is needed more than ever at this point, before React fully becomes a framework for burning compute on Vercel's infra.


I agree with this. I’d prefer to have Meta be the steward for React instead of Vercel because Meta does not have a conflict of interest.


They might not have the conflict of interest but they also don’t have the business interest either. Meta is a spyware company who makes all of their money from collecting personal data to sell to advertisers. They have zero incentive to dedicate any kind of significant resources to supporting millions of websites using their internal UI library.


Because Vercel makes money when components are rendered server side not client side.

I know almost nobody that even uses server side components. It's right out if your backend isn't node..


That is exactly why I stopped using React 2 years ago


Summed together with the study visa changes: Thanks Trump for helping solve Brazil's brain drain.


yes, and it started from today.


No, it's for new H1-Bs and renewals, and it starts tomorrow.


You are correct [although what was said at the oval office was different].


Missing a zero here for a realistic valuation of the indisputable market leader in the most important interface of computing.


I feel like mathematicians should be able to do a second doctorate level degree a few years after their first PhD, that must be in a adjacent field of their own, but not the same.


The purpose of a PhD is to certify that you're able to do independent research. Many researchers retrain (or just add a research interest) in adjacent fields during their postdocs or later. At that point it's just research.


It's possible! From somewhat famous mathematicians, at least Bela Bollobas has 2 PhDs: one in discrete geometry and one in functional analysis.

Try doing that in the modern academic environment tho..


Beside the habilitation example of rando234789 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44498702), in Russia (and Ukraine) there indeed exist two "doctorate levels": кандидат наук [Candidate of Sciences] and доктор наук [Doctor of Science].


I feel like most sciences should have this, it would accelerate science a lot via the cross-pollination of ideas and techniques.

But I can imagine that drawing connections between different branches of maths would be especially powerful, yes


check out the idea of a habilitation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habilitation at least in germany, it is pretty much what you describe


ERNIE 4.5, a new family of large-scale multimodal models comprising 10 distinct variants. The model family consist of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models with 47B and 3B active parameters, with the largest model having 424B total parameters, as well as a 0.3B dense model.


Does anyone know if extensive genetic editing for construction wood optimization has been tried? Some planted forests have no food chain role whatsoever (like Eucalyptus in Brazil) so this seems super safe high reward endeavor.


Genetically modified (GM) eucalyptus is apparently actually growing in Brazil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_tree#Acce... Still ongoing as of 2024: https://www.futuragene.com/releases/futuragene-receives-appr...


OpenAI knows that everyday someone uses Gemini their ChatGPT brand dies a bit faster. Wonder what Google has in storage for I/O now in May, would be a death sentence to just steamroll with Gemini-3.

"Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview (I/O edition)" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43906018


LMAO, like one hour after. And guess what, it is a coding upgrade .


Google IO in may? Guess we'll be getting a huge OpenAI release May 19th then.

Edit: Oh of course, it's the open weights model they've been teasing.


They launched a new version of Gemini 2.5 Pro today.

https://developers.googleblog.com/en/gemini-2-5-pro-io-impro...


So soon after Gemini 2.5?


Open AI needed to spend $3B pivoting away from bigdata based AI. But instead they went for the most shorted sighted move possible of snapping up the "trendiest" company nobody has ever heard outside the Ycombinator echo chamber.

Typical VI-fallacy BS. If LLMs were actually good they would replace IDEs completely not be integrated.


There's an in between case, where LLMs are useful and give coders a (say) 20% speedup, and everyone has to use them. They don't have to be perfect to be a big industry!
