Can you provide evidence for your claim? Most people take this statement at face value and I don’t understand why. I do some volunteer work supporting elderly people that have issues adapting to a digital only world and I am always pleasant

Just follow the people you care about, only use the "Following" tab, ignore the "For you" tab, block the ads - so you can still choose freely who manipulates you and how. At least X still gives you real control over a ch

It’s really surprising. When Apple announced the multi-billion dollar deal with Google to power Apple Intelligence I thought great things were coming. Instead we are getting more and more bad news: delayed Pro models and AI leadership leavi

Ok, weird, I don’t know how the system works then. My wife is Colombian and on her last entry she just scanned her passport and that was it.

No, if you don’t change your passport you only have to scan your fingerprints once in the EU.

I believe the coding tool revenue is an important factor right now but not the endgame. The AI companies have to become consumer products to justify their gigantic valuations. We always talked about the “super apps” - one app that fulfills

I prefer that scenario to the one we had before where too many smart people were building out social networks and similar services trying to maximize ad impressions. We are still dealing with the consequences…

I totally agree with you that our unhinged consumption behavior is the core problem. And with AI we stepped on the accelerator again. But regarding your second statement. The actual problem is the greenhouse effect of CO2 and Methane in the

Maybe not a relevant experience then, as most people in this forum look for startup advice and take on external investment. You can totally setup a Inc or LLC equivalent pretty fast in Germany as long as you stick to the standard. What he i

Looks like he got hot milked by “advisors” who insisted in an overly complicated setup. Setting up a UG is fast and easy as long as you stick to the standard and you don’t need advisors or lawyers.

You can do the same in Germany. Costs 29 Euros with an online form. Once the sole proprietorship is setup you apply for your tax id and done. The whole process took 2 weeks in my city. Legally you can even start invoicing as soon as you reg

I don’t know the specifics but the OP chose a complicated setup. Why not just use a GmbH which is the equivalent to an Inc in the US? The capital requirement is 12500 in the bank not 25000 as stated. There are online services that run the w

For me it was the missing piece when working with Claude Code. I am a PM by formation so neither do I know how to design nor do I know how to code but I am pretty good at describing what I want and why. I just played with Claude Design for

I have never used mastodon, but why is it so much better than X (twitter)? I also follow a small group of people on X that I find interesting and I get a chronological feed of their posts in the “following” tab. I know that the “For You” ta

Sounds Like you rediscovered the “opportunity solution tree” (Teresa Torres) and were skipping a crucial step in product management / UX which is product discovery. I would suggest not to generalize your learnings by saying “why most p

Exactly, they like to call it “bringing new energy to an old industry”.

Why is everyone so sure that technology can’t be the moat? Why are you convinced that all AI systems will be very similar in performance and cost, hence be interchangeable? Isn’t Google the perfect example that you can create a moat by tech

Stock price is a bet on the future: - intel: uncertain future for their X86 business lines. AMD caught up and even overtook Intel in desktop, laptop and SERVER. Extremely high Capex on Fab business with uncertain outcome. Can they really

Government should force google to give competitors access to its search index so that they have a real opportunity to build a competing service on top of it, AI or search. The same way monopoly telcos were forced to open infrastructure to c

The current Mac Pro is kind of pointless. Before you got a powerful workstation (power consumption was irrelevant), now you get a Studio Mac in a new package. I feel they just launched it for “compliance” not because it is a great product.

by florakel 3y ago
It’s a fair point. Especially for the new Mac Pro they could have implemented a more robust thermal solution and clock the whole thing higher. That’s one advantage of a bigger chasis, isn’t it?

I talked to a fair share of late stage VCs and they like to think of themselves as “category king makers” - the term itself reflects the general sense of humbleness in the VC community. Besides the “venture predation” described in the paper

If you are a ChatGPT Plus user you can also use ChatGPT 4 with the AskYourPDF plugin. The advantage is that you can just feed the PDF through your own URL and don't have to upload it to a third party.

I guess I was too precise when I wrote "Brazilian Portuguese" and caused some confusion. ;) It is actually quite different from European Portuguese, especially when spoken.

Í speak 4 languages and I love it: Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German and English. I have lived or worked in countries where those languages are spoken. Each language feels like a unique perspective on life and unlocks the understanding

The euro has actually recovered about 10% from its low last year. The problem is Apple’s pricing strategy. Very static and never sacrificing not even a little bit of margin.

There is nothing but economic interest. If you want to predict how any company, startup or not, will behave just look at how they make money. In 99% of the cases companies act according to their business model. It is that simple, there is n
