I think what the report says is that onus on R&D is shifting to Corporates and Startup labs which are churning more cutting edge engineering and in some cases science faster
The OG is obv hard to beat but the situation has changed and we did need an update to something that reflected reality more closely. We all know that basic science funding through academia is having struggles
i have been pouring on my 10% free time into evolutionary algorithms. thinking about the premise of what a transformer alternative with evolutionary algorithms look like.
Would be keen on talking to anyone who has been researching in this area. X: @jharohit
on that theme it reminds my of the Pico-8 community (although technically it is an engine but you dont need to do engine programming even for generating music!!)
compiled a personal webpage to play with mobile controls and a javascript engine to play the pico-8 games and i love the celeste port on that!
“Also I have no idea why the average score was increased in 2022. A lot of new users?”
Possibly. Post covid many companies laid off people and that could have led to more time and interaction with HN and many more new builders and solopreneurs joining the community
some things that still need to be done before v1 launch:
- easy data migration in and out (right now is a pain if its large volume of data from other DB eg firebase or sqlite!)
- API/programmatic setup of tables (right now its only via UI making it hard to setup large complex tables with variable permissions)
- Multi-instance: easiest is to have another pocketbase in "mirror" mode that it updates once a day or whatever with primary (primary > secondary method like in mongo is a great mechanism, with some kind of voting for primary)
ah! like names of people is it? hmm let me see, good point for larger teams. how would you ideally want to see it - just click on tile and it pops up a textbox with all names? dont want to complicate it
A full blown NDA tracker which uses uploaded signed NDAs to process using gemini 2.5flash, metadata stored in Firebase and then a lightweight table to list all (incl when some are expiring in next 6 months) and what are key items to keep an eye out for, key details (name, company, country, counterparty, etc). NextJS deployed app on standard VM on office server (no replit tho). Will open source this shortly.
