With the TC39 Signals Proposal reaching Stage 1, I wanted to do a deep-dive on the most popular reactive TS libs, benchmark them, and explore some of their design tradeoffs.
wrote a bit about how I view the agent space. mostly aimed at a non-technical audience, but I do "delve" into some more concrete examples and predictions in the longer blog post version. btw this blog post started our as my mission statement when I was working on Agentic during HF0, so just happy to have finally published it.
This is how I've solved this problem for myself: by using monthly playlists as a forcing function to motivate myself to find new music every month, where the whole ends up being greater than the sum of it's parts: https://transitivebullsh.it/my-10-year-music-diary
What're your thoughts on using the "GPT" prefix for open source projects? If they're successful, will OpenAI go after them, and can they actually enforce this trademark?
What initially drew me to HF0 was when a friend described it as a hacker monastery, and I'm surprised it hasn't been covered more on – of all places – hacker news.
First off, what is it? HF0 is a 3-month startup accelerator and residency program, where you live in a mansion at the heart of SF and focus solely on building your startup – surrounded by other world-class developers. They invest $500k in your company and fast track you to raising a world-class seed round. Very similar to YC but a lot smaller batches and gives a lot more family vibes since you're living w/ people during the batch. No shade on YC obviously cause they're legendary, just good to have more options for aspiring technical founders.
I went through HF0 last year, and although it wasn't all rainbows & kittens (trying to get a startup off the ground never is haha!), it was honestly the single most remarkable hacking experience / culture / community I've had the pleasure of joining in my 20+ years as a dev.
I think they're currently focused on AI startups w/ repeat founders or early stage companies w/ significant signs of traction, but honestly if you're a prolific hacker, you should consider applying. They kind of purposefully fly under the radar (their website https://www.hf0.com), but you can read a bit more about the program here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/31/magazine/ai-start-up-acce...
Happy to answer any questions you may have about HF0 – Dave, Emily, and Evan are building something truly amazing for hackers & aspiring founders, and I couldn't be happier to have been a part of it.
