Siri is nowhere near an AI assistant or even a decent AI query bot.

It mostly does simple commands and for the rest kicks you to web search results.

Apple surely understand the opportunity here, maybe their view is LLMs are just too variable / hallucinate too much to go all-in on it?


WWDC is in June. Lots of us are expecting better LLM integration and SDKs to be released then...


Yes, very lucrative with huge free cash flow. 60% YoY growth last year too


because ultra processed foods are objectively bad for us?


This is a great writeup and deep-dive into the conflicts of interest. Sounds like they are over-valued and simply _have_ to go into secondary markets


Looks like a project with 45k stars, where the latest update was Oct 2020. Why the HN post without a submission comment? Slick site I guess?


Slick front page with one of the best documentation pages I've come across. A sprawling v4 rewrite is in the works and Julian seems to have been picking up steam on it lately.



To raise awareness about a cool project? I didn’t know and was glad to learn about it.


Currently 500+ points and 120+ comments.


iframes also work pretty well for this kinda thing :D


Do you work in the field? And is the Uk a good place for startups in it? Thanks


No, but I would like to start a startup / open source project in this area. I maintain the website OpenSustain.tech and through it I came in contact with various projects that are being created in this area. I think UK is a good location for a startup in this field. There are a lot of investors here and a lot of funding for sustainable projects.


Very cool. Do you mind if I send you an email at team@protontypes.eu? We have an on-going (academic) research effort that may fit the criteria on your contribution guide : )


Please contact me here: tobias.augspurger@protontypes.eu


I'd love to think it's post-irony or meta-irony[1], but really I suspect it's legit and they are trying their best. Bless. Feels like an order of magnitude more risky as an investor than Fyre festival

FWIW they've said in their press releases they have been profitable since 2017



I'm genuinely not sure what those are. They appear to have been proposed at some Seattle facility: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/amazon/amazons-sleek-n...

I've worked at two different facilities in CA and never once seen those. We still used the white/yellow/blue badge scheme.

Are there any ambassadors in this thread who know what those are?


If you saw any blue badge employees with a yellow/red/purple border around their badge, then that signifies how long they've been at the company.

Saying someone is a yellow badge badge is saying that they are a full time employee with 5-9 years of tenure, most SDEs don't work with contractors so we don't talk about yellow badge contractors all that often.

If you're interested in this sort of thing, the color is actually supposed to be orange, but the color came out yellow.


Honestly, I never ran into many blue badges down in logistics. Mostly all white and yellow badges, with a few exceptions... and most of the time I was in and out so fast I wouldn't have noticed any colored border on their badge. The only time I would've interacted with a blue badge is if there was a problem on-route.

TL;DR DSP drivers don't encounter many blue badges.


The article you linked is from five years ago when the new badges were being initially tested. They have been rolled out for years with color photos. Both styles still work and if you don't go into one of a few big offices you might not have easy access to the newer style.
