I immediately noticed this as well. In many cases, they weren't even LLCs, just names. Maybe my memory is hazy from that period, but I don't recall the clear call to action to request five-figure loans as an individual, (almost) a

One major takeaway that matches my own investigation is that Gemini 2.0 still materially struggles with bounding boxes on digital content. Google has published[1] some great material on spatial understanding and bounding boxes on photograph

Non-scientific answer: if this is anything like ISO27001, it's moreso a certification of processes that presumably govern the creation of all models.

Honest question, but how do we as a society culturally align on who has the right to space in low Earth orbit? I understand there are treaties that prevent ownership of space in general, but it seems like at some point you could reach such

I think he's insinuating that with a figurehead such as Sam Altman, that Sarah and Kevin might be more showpieces than given autonomy to operate.

+1 to Airalo. The country specific ones are super cheap. $7 for 2GB or something like that? I once did the 30-day Global one for I think $20 for 4GB or so. Worked all over Europe + Middle East. Was very impressed.

Data-only global eSims are super cheap. Having done a lot of international travel lately, this is undoubtedly the best way to go. Cheaper and better coverage too.

Hey Julien, very nifty! Can you comment on the inspiration/ similarity with the Laravel Debugbar [1]? I noticed your GH says "Laravel by Night" :) [1] https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-debugbar

Reading the comments here, largely negative pointing, I couldn't help but recently feel like IBM was really impressive with their work on Quantum System 2 [1]. I'm not knowledgable enough to know if there's really progress in

Perhaps I haven't figured out the best way to query ChatGPT, but isn't the magic here that your approach implicitly already understands all the tables/ relationships that exist within database?

I found myself wanting something like this the other day trying to query some BigQuery tables I was unfamiliar with. With that being said, from my vantage, the value of a tool like this is writing the SQL query for me that I can understand,

Seeing "Powered by GoDaddy" in the footer seems juxtaposed to a company that supposely developed an AI chatbot (even if just forwarding requests on to ChatGPT).

What's the cross section of users willing to configure this setup (which requires the Mac app host) that want these "restricted" applications that also do not want to jailbreak their devices? I suppose I am many years removed

Mind speaking to the monetization component of your app? It's not readily visible from your links. I ask as I've built a similar tool that supports portfolio rebalancing and helps generally understand portfolio health. I found the

Can you explain the thought process behind Google Ads on the site? Despite my various ad blockers (Pihole, etc), I would generally view ads on a blog as setting a tone akin to microtransactions on a video game, rather than trying to build a

Made me think of the game "Escape from Tarkov", which has been out for years and has a subset of a mall-setting map called "IDEA" using the same blue/yellow color pallette (1). [1] https://escapefromtarko

My first experience with Wealthfront was an IRA. After a short period (<year), I realized it was rather simplistic to take a predictable regular deposit and split it across a few ETFs to stay on track for their recommended portfolio. I e

Yes. Once you cross a certain threshold (I think it's $100k portfolio), they'll switch you to "Direct Indexing", which automates individual stock purchases.

SPXL also has an expense ratio over 1%, which will eat away at earnings unless in the best of bull rushes (now).

> But I could more easily just use my GBP to directly buy Euros, with one less exchange rate and one less transaction in the process. In this scenario, the transacting bank would need to have (or want) to have GBP for them to sell Euros.

I have no experience here, so I understand this in theory, but in practice, banks would somewhat indefinitely have some digital sum of a range of currencies in which they may not wish to have exposure to. How do you solve for that as a bank

Adding a currency that everyone can agree upon as the "intermediary" prevents you from needing to hold huge sums of random currencies. For example - you're a bank in the UK so your fiat currency is GBP. If you want to manage

I could be wrong, but I always understood the primary purpose of XRP as a mechanism to increase liquidity. Since Ripple is all about cross-border payments, you're potentially dealing with hundreds of currencies. So if you were a bank t

Without directly commenting on the performance of the M1 chip, I still believe the biggest hurdle is software compatibility. Apple's "universal binary" seems dubious, and I don't believe Rosetta 2 is anything more than e

Can you explain the market for this? Is this meant to be a consumer-driven replacement to (predatory) chains like Rent-a-Center?
