Thank you for posting them (as well as all your other AI takes). It's appreciated here! I feel like the human brain massively overweights negative feedback over positive, and that's even after accounting for the fact that internet

Thanks for sharing your opinion. I strongly disagree with this legislation and have found it hard to 'steelman' the other side, which your comment/opinion does well. I found it very informative so just wanted to share my appr

This is really good work! Love the UX and the design. Even though I work with AI agents and building them a lot, I found the way you structure the steps very helpful for thinking about the project itself. The agent asks the right questions

Can't believe this is the only mention of sfdt so far on this thread. I have similar nostalgia about it being the first online community I joined. Collaborating with others, getting a glimpse into their personal lives, chatting off-pla

I've been looking for that Paradox Photoshop CS2 one for years. Great nostalgic memories. I've always been in slight awe of these kind of teams/releases. Cracking (mostly) for the raw intellectual challenge and bundling it wi

I appreciate your pursuit of this artistic endeavour. Truly great art is always the product of great personal sacrifice. That said, it does make me wonder about two alternative approaches: A) When a screenshot is detected, change the font,

While it does seem that Ballmer doesn't have an understanding of the deepness of the problem, in his defence, he outscored BillG on the math SAT with a perfect score of 800, and graduated Harvard with a degree in applied mathematics. W

This is great. Simple and slick makes it easy to use. I'm impressed by the URL importing feature. Is that a GPT wrapper behind the scenes or do you use another library?

Is this a custom trained TTS model or is it an implementation of something like StyleTTSv2?

I have a similar story of accessing an internal JSON API for my own benefit. I left my airpods in a car I rented using zipcar. I spoke to support etc but nothing had been handed in. I checked to see if the car was still where I left it so t

Twitter has 450M monthly active users. Elon bought it for $44bn. With ~$5bn in operating expenses, that gives you an absolutely insane CAC of $90 to play with.

You're assuming that the individual's labour is the only input into work completion. I think those questions are good. One benefit is that it can reveal potential organisation-wide blockers: *Getting design changes could be slow (

Adding a comment as I don't think this is a fair representation of George. He livestreamed the creation of cheapETH as a technical demonstration of web3 development[0] and continually talks about it being worthless while developing it.

Great job! Love the UI. Did you build this from scratch or is it an extended, existing database front-end? The search/filters/sorting would be really useful to generalise as its own package!

To protect the device getting cracked, couldn't you just have it send a message if/when the device is opened in a way it shouldn't (e.g. for inspection) and thus make that key invalid?

Love your landing page. I know exactly what you do and how you can be of value for me without even scrolling. Well done!

Hey! This is brilliant! Obviously you speak about the tech stack you use here, but your UX is absolutely perfect. I just used your product and got exactly what I wanted without even thinking. My brain didn't second-guess myself once. I

If you're asking for financial advice based on the assumption that conventional finance may collapse, your hedge would be to invest in making yourself self-sustainable. Land, wood, gas, knowledge.

I'm completely in the dark when it comes to hard biotech, but have heard this labelled as a CRISPR-level development. Based off this tweet[0] from one of the paper's authors. Can anyone here confirm or deny this? [0]: https:&#x2F

Slightly off topic but can anyone explain to me why a massive company like coinbase uses Medium as a blogging platform/software? Why are they not hosting the blog within their own ecosystem/site?

You're getting some heat but I just want to say that I found this super interesting and valuable, and makes complete sense to me. Thank you.

This makes a lot of sense. An issue I have with this is that one reason my co-founder wants to split is that they don't really want the pressure of running a startup, and so are unlikely to go on to raise additional money. Could a situ

This seems like the most realistic and likely answer. My co-founder hasn't really been budging so far and I feel like they don't fully understand the situation. They think that because it was their idea that they are entitled to a
