> Instead of data going to models, we need models come to our data which is stored locally and stay locally.

We are building this over at https://software.inc! We collect data about you (from your computer and the internet) into a local database and then teach models how to use it. The models can either be local or cloud-based, and we can route requests based on the sensitivity of the data or the capabilities needed.

We're also hiring if that sounds interesting!

Wow, nice domain. I'd work there for the name alone haha.

Am I cynical thinking the opposite? I can’t imagine they got that domain for a song. Spending a pile of cash on vanity such as that is a real turn off for me; it signals more flash than bang. Am I wrong to think this?

[conradev]

You are not wrong to think this – spending a pile of cash on a name is a big decision that you want to approach with rigor.

We didn't do that, though. Our domain was available for like $4,000. The .inc TLD is intentionally expensive to discourage domain squatting :-)

I’d be worried about the ability to be in relevant searches with a name so generic.

[otteromkram]

I've never ever ran a query for "software inc" before. They should be okay.

Plus, search engines usually catch up based in click-throughs, bounces, financial kickbacks (cough), too.

Searching for Go programming language stuff was a pain a few years back, but now engines have adapted to Go or Golang.

I don't use Google, so ymmv.

site's pretty funny, but would likely be more useful with more information and less clicking-around-nostalgia 8-)

[smith7018]

That's because the company is more or less in stealth/investigatory mode. It's the same team that built Workflow which was acquired by Apple and then turned into Shortcuts.

Here is the website with the same information and the same clicking around but less nostalgia: https://software.inc/html

I don’t think it is more useful, but it is certainly more functional (supports screen reading, text selection, maybe dark mode, etc)

your site is not loading at all for me on firefox (emulator error) and is totally non-functional on chrome (TCPCreate failed)

might be worth having some sort of automatic fallback to a static site after a certain amount of failed loading or an error

just saw the link to your html version in another comment and it took literally five minutes to load on firefox

As fare as I can see it's just a MacOS image, nothing is happening
