on: KV and Vector Sorage Without Socket, Mutex or GC Overhead
Splinter is an atomic, socket-less, lock-free KV vector store that runs inference at L3 speeds and captures high-resolution physics experiments without latency. It's a vector "anti" database without speed limits implemented in the size of most modern CPU instruction caches (875 LOC).

on: Quilt is building AI assistants for solutions teams
Solutions professionals are the unsung heroes of the B2B sales organization and yet they are consistently under-resourced and overlooked. TL;DR; Quilt is changing that with AI and saving SEs a ton of time on tasks that weigh them down.

I blame Cthulhu. Mystery solved.

The site _just_ came out of private beta, so tags are a bit of a mess. We're cleaning them up now, and working on conventions for location / country tags, which do make narrowing questions much simpler.

You have any browser extensions that might be misbehaving? (I work for Stack Exchange). Nothing on our side could be sending that to you.

on: Has anyone tried providing a service to improve people's blog posts (e.g., in terms of grammar, style, tone, fact checking, etc.)?
A service that crawls a given URL and reports spelling or grammar mistakes would be relatively easy. The 'lynx' and 'spell' utilities inherent in most Linux distributions would suffice for the basics.
I think the service would be better marketed as a last line of defense against linguistic embarrasment. If the 'service' found a typo, punctuation (that would be a little harder) or grammar error on a given URL it could simply e-mail a designated contact, show the error in context and suggestions to correct it.
This would be useful only in situations where ajax based "as you type" correction (or more traditional regex post-posting) is not possible, or if a site blindly imported harvested content from other sources without human checking for such errors.
Given the ease of which this could be developed, I say .. go for it.

on: Practical startup question: Do you founders pay for health insurance out of pocket while working full-time on your projects?
I moved from Baltimore to Manila so that I could afford to pay my medical expenses in cash. By coming here, I've amplified my purchasing power ^2 and live more comfortably paying less. The birth of my daughter with complications and a c-section was just under $5000.00 USD, in a state of the art facility that rivals Hopkins itself (Google, "The Medical City Pasig City" to see it). A pediatric appointment costs me $10, medicine even less. I know my move was a little drastic, but it opened many doors. :)

on: Why to Not Not Start a Startup
As a 32 year old owner of 2 failed and one successful startup, I can say without hesitation that this is by far the most insightful piece I've read on the topic. It was not just an essay, for me this was a trip down memory lane. Thanks to the author for a very insightful and enjoyable piece of literature, I hope to see this selected as its been submitted to Slashdot.
