The Last Programmers

I quit my job at Amazon in May to join a startup called Icon. Best career decision I ever made, but not for the reasons you might think. At Amazon, I was on the Amazon Q Developer team, building their AI coding assistant. You'd think being at the center of Amazon's AI developer tools would be exciting, but it was actually deeply frustrating. It was apparent to anyone outside the Amazon bubble that we were losing the AI game badly. The leadership was constantly playing catch-up because there was

Hush: Holistic Panoramic 3D Scene Understanding Using Spherical Harmonics

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-04 20:32:47

13D Vision & Robotics Lab, UNIST 2KRAFTON ✝Corresponding Author TL;DR: HUSH conducts various panorama image-based 3D perception tasks by utilizing task-relevant and geometrically aligned spherical harmonics basis functions for each task. 🌟 Key insight: SH basis functions seem geometrically aligned with the signals (e.g., depth/normal) on the unit sphere! Abstract Motivated by the efficiency of spherical harmonics (SH) in representing various physical phenomena, we propose a Holistic panor

Voxtral – Frontier open source speech understanding models

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-12 16:47:02

Voice: the original UI. Voice was humanity’s first interface—long before writing or typing, it let us share ideas, coordinate work, and build relationships. As digital systems become more capable, voice is returning as our most natural form of human-computer interaction. Yet today’s systems remain limited—unreliable, proprietary, and too brittle for real-world use. Closing this gap demands tools with exceptional transcription, deep understanding, multilingual fluency, and open, flexible deploy

news.ycombinator.com Pedro Tavares 2026-02-03 05:43:57

For years, I’ve felt that writing lines of code was never the bottleneck in software engineering. The actual bottlenecks were, and still are, code reviews, knowledge transfer through mentoring and pairing, testing, debugging, and the human overhead of coordination and communication. All of this wrapped inside the labyrinth of tickets, planning meetings, and agile rituals. These processes, meant to drive quality, often slow us down more than the act of writing code itself because they require t
