Hmm, AS400’s are back!
DrStartup··on AMD announces the Spartan UltraScale+ FPGA family
I think we’re going to see a greatly increased use of FPGAs in AI applications. They can be very good at matrix multiplication. Think about an AI layer that tunes the FPGA based on incoming model requirements? Need an LPU like groq? Done. I would bet Apple Silicon gets some sort of FPGA in the neural engine.
DrStartup··on AI can diagnose childhood autism from retinal photos
FTP: Findings - In this diagnostic study of 1890 eyes of 958 participants, deep learning models had a mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 1.00 for ASD screening and 0.74 for symptom severity. The optic disc area was also important in screening for ASD.

DrStartup··on I'm betting on HTML
I think SEO is dead and the Semantic web will soon take over as search transitions to LLMS. If your data is better digested with minimal work by the LLM trainers, does your content perform better?

And maybe search isn’t the killer feature of the semantic web, maybe it will be agents?

DrStartup··on Apple’s 4.15% Savings Account Marks Golden Age of Cash
They aren’t a bank. More like a MVNO but instead of being a mobile carrier they are a value added reseller of a real bank (Goldman Sachs).
DrStartup··on Starship Flight Test [video]
Maybe the judgement and blame part before the list of additional time zones?

“So weird that nobody” feels judge-y and blame-y to me, but that was probably not your intent.

Dunno

DrStartup··on Ask HN: How to distribute a lot of images throughout multiple Universities
Sounds like you’d want to setup a private multi org cloud storage system.

Something like this https://min.io/ or similar. There are a dozen or so open source / commercial s3-like object storage systems out there.

I have a friend that does this kind of mission critical infrastructure for research universities.

Dm if you’d like

I've used Moom for years now - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/moom/id419330170?mt=12 - it has all the things, menu access, window snapping, short cuts, custom configuration, and saved layouts

DrStartup··on Why do older individuals have greater control of their feelings?
Sounds like the ACT Matrix
DrStartup··on Show HN: Skruv – No-dependency, no-build, small JavaScript framework
I agree about svelte. It leverages the foundations of the web - html and css - and adds some amazing reactive sugar!
DrStartup··on SvelteKit Is in Public Beta
Web dev with Svelte brings me back to the early days of web development - php, MySQL, jquery and XMLhttprequest. I personally have never understood all the tooling required to build a modern day react app, and oh how I have tried. Svelte dev as a way-of-thinking-framework is as close to the fundamentals as I think you can get. The dx is amazing and sveltekit takes it to the next level. #sveltalowda

Edit: embarrassing typo

DrStartup··on I don't want to do front-end anymore
Many the author’s points are exactly the reasons I like and am bullish on SvelteJS. I started doing web dev in 1995. PHP was game changing. I feel the same about Svelte. For me, there are way too many layers in modern front end. I want to be as close to the foundation as possible - vanilla js, css, html. That is where the joy is. Svelte is the new old thing with a healthy sprinkling of awe and wonder.
DrStartup··on Ask HN: What startup/technology is on your 'to watch' list?
Hasura, SvelteJS - the compiler is the framework, headless CMS, distributed edge functions
DrStartup··on Apple's Shifting Differentiation
On-device AI using a personal knowledge graph is the future of computing. The cloud cannot be trusted.
DrStartup··on A tech antitrust problem no one is talking about: US broadband providers
IMO the government (the people) should own the transmission & delivery infrastructure - water, sewer, gas, electric, fiber - and companies provide the service within constraints.
DrStartup··on Show HN: Obsidian – A knowledge base that works on local Markdown files
Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Will there be extension support?

DrStartup··on Ask HN: Best way to get a phone number for your startup?
I searched quite a bit and settled on Grasshopper.com. Main determining factors were price and web sip client support, i.e., make phone calls from your browser or mobile phone.

They also have an auto-attendant, multiple extension support, and voice mail to email capabilities.
