On a related note, I'd like to give a shout-out to NeHe (Neon Helium) for his brilliant OpenGL tutorials back in the 90s.

I, and I suspect many others, benefited immensely from him lessons.

I'm sure there are others here that are experts on this topic, but my 2 cents on this is that Broadcom specialise in custom / specialised AI chips, and their collaboration with Google to manufacture the TPUs is a pretty solid revenue moat over the next several years.

> In the last eight weeks, I have counted 361 queens. The meagre three traps might sound irrelevant in the face of the growing continental scale of the problem, and perhaps they are. However, a mature hornet nest in autumn can have 6,000 individuals, so potentially over two million fewer hornets will be patrolling our local landscape come autumn.

In case anyone is wondering about the number.

What an odd post to make the front page of HN.

This needs to be the top comment because the current title is horribly misleading.

> What does “take full responsibility” mean in the present context?

Aside from Pete's reply (see adjacent comment), I'd add that him taking full responsibility is also his way of saying his post was nobody else's fault but his.

In other words it's less about forfeiting assets and descendant peonage, and more about saying "the buck stops with me".

At least that's my read of his sentiment. Pete can expand if need be.

Whilst I appreciate the impact of AI and its long-term implications for humanity as we know it, I am getting kinda tired of seeing so many AI-related headlines here on HN. Perhaps it's just me, but I feel like every day the front page is filled with mostly LLM-related announcements.

> so that we can't scrap Facebook

Whilst I assume you meant to say “scrape”, I can’t help but appreciate the poetry of that typo.

Queen face hoover

TIL! Absolute game changer.

Thank you kind stranger.

What I would humbly argue is what it’s (primarily) always been about:

Building relationships.

That site is awesome, thank you!

Damn I love HN.

Sincere congrats to the Verda team :-)

Can someone please help me understand what their competitive advantage is, versus the likes of AWS / Azure et al, who are also available in the EU.

I love a good underdog story, but I'm not understanding the economics of it.
