I'm a marketer. When I land on a developer tool's website, I don't open the pricing page. I don't read the features. I don't watch the demo. I ask one question: "Can I explain what this product does in 10 seconds?" If the answer is no, you've already lost me. I've worked with enough SaaS products to know that most of them don't have a product problem. They have a communication problem. Developers spend weeks building a feature. Marketing spends days trying to explain it. Users spend three seconds deciding whether it's worth their time. That's a brutal mismatch. The best products I've seen don't try to sound intelligent. They try to sound obvious. You read the headline and instantly think, "I know exactly who this is for." That's incredibly hard to achieve. And it's usually the result of dozens of conversations between product, engineering, support, and marketing. So here's my hot take: A feature isn't finished when it's merged into main . It's finished when a complete stranger understands why it exists. As a marketer, that's the lesson building products has taught me. Curious to hear from developers: Have you ever built something technically impressive that users simply... didn't understand?

In response to a report that Nothing is planning to "exit 12 markets as global shipments decline," Nothing cofounder Akis Evangelidis said the company is "reorganizing" and laying off some of its staff, but that "the reported numbers are way overblown." Evangelidis disputed a claim about underwhelming sales for Nothing's Phone 4B, saying it "sold […]

This week, I covered a fascinating effort to preserve organs outside the body. There’s a huge shortage of donor organs, and one of the main reasons is time—they survive only a matter of hours outside the body, even when they’re kept on ice. Doctors dream of organ banks—stores of human organs that can be preserved…

I've been chasing the question of what algorithms a transformer can actually express -- separate from what it can learn. So I built a compiler: define a computation graph in ordinary Python, and it produces the weights of a transformer that executes the graph. The result is a standard Phi-3-architecture checkpoint that vanilla huggingface loads with no custom code and no trust_remote_code. Zero training in the pipeline. Write-up (origin + how the constructions work): https://ood.dev/posts/torchwright-intro/ Repo (twelve runnable examples): https://github.com/physicsrob/torchwright Hand-built transformer weights aren't a new idea. RASP defines a language whose primitives map onto transformer sublayers, and Tracr compiles RASP programs into actual weights. I wanted two things they don't aim for: expressing a computation graph in ordinary Python, and targeting a stock architecture, so the output loads in vanilla huggingface with no custom code. submitted by /u/notforrob [link] [留言]
