Show HN: Mach – A compiled systems language looking for contributionsHi HN,I'm the creator of Mach (https://github.com/octalide/mach or https://machlang.org). Two days ago, we finally achieved full self hosting. I wanted to make a post here to show off the language since this is a big milestone for us.## TL;DR about the language for those curious:- There are no external dependencies anywhere in the pipeline. This includes LLVM, libc bindings, or anything of the sort (save for the historical bootstrap compiler, which requires any C compiler and has been phased out completely).- Mach is extremely opinionated and very anti-magic. WYSIWYG is a core principal for the language. There are no hidden behaviors, implicit type conversions, or "automatic features". Simplicity and stripping away ambiguity are core principals that this language upholds.- Performance currently lags behind C by about a factor of only 4x at the time of writing, almost entirely due to the lack of deep compiler optimizations like autovectorization, which have not been fully implemented ye
Ask HN: Advice on contribution guidelines for vibe codersHello with the rise of LLM usage I start to get in some open source projects that I maintain PRs from people that clearly vibe code.Problem with these is that they require a lot of work that I’m not sure pays off. Their descriptions and code comments are overly verbose and take forever to read through. This results in many iterations and reviews for what are supposed to be minor PRs.Normally I don’t mind putting in the work for PRs in the spirit of mentoring folks. But somehow I’m not sure that applies here?At the same time i don’t want to stop people just because they vibe as who am I to judge. But perhaps it’s fair to ask certain criteria like: keep your descriptions succinct. Don’t comment the obvious or overly verbose. Don’t add examples for 1+1. Don’t add new dependencies if existing dependencies in the tree already cover what you need.. etc.Are there known policies like this out there? How to be welcoming while at the same time not get abused by ai slop o.o

Under Appreciated Contribution of Elon Musk – The Tesla MafiaThe level of talent that Musk has been able to cultivate at his companies is immense. Many of them, who have risen to executive levels, have left to build their own ventures. These ventures have now collectively raised a staggering $40+ Billion.Sweden based Northvolt, which is a battery developer and manufacturer, specializing in lithium-ion technology for electric vehicles, sits on top of the cartel with over $13.8B in funding.Other unicorns from the group include Lucid Motors, Redwood Materials, Aurora and Proterra.All the founders have been involved in either a founding role or C-suite level positions.Edit: here is the full post where I dive into impact of these companies https://goldenpineapple.substack.com/p/the-tesla-mafia-40bn-raised-10-countries
Risk factor for contribution made at each phase in a startup?I'm looking for your opinions on this question with the end goal to create a 'rule of thumb' guide. I'll use the results for a product I'm building and credit HN.In any bootstrapped startup, web3 community, DAO etc the initial founders wear the early risk. The founders’ experiments may fail and their work may be worthless up until the product gains traction. Over time the community gets behind the mission and ultimately the product “meets the market” and garners paying customers. At this point the risk is 1:1 meaning effort is directly remunerated.A startup evolves through phases of risk (from A “high” to E “low”) as a product progresses from Idea to Market. Phase Outcome & Examples of Activities:A = Minimum Viable Product (ideation, building, iterations) B = Product Beta (gathering early customer feedback, iterations) C = Market Ready (creating promotional materials, raising capital) D = Active Community Established (growth and engagement campaigns) E = Paying CustomersQUESTION:What i
