But let’s say you’re an elite marathoner running 100 miles a week. Maybe 20 are at low 5 or sub 5 pace. The other 80 are closer to 6:30/mile. Then you might add more race specific work as race day gets closer. In one week you might do

Has anyone tried acoustic imaging for water leaks inside walls? I live in a multi-floor 1900s Victorian. A leak can affect several units, and tracing the source can mean opening walls or floors in multiple places, and coordinating access ha

In my experience, knowing you have glaring UX problems, or that product does not have an easy intuitive user flow is rarely the bottleneck for developing new & useful user facing AI applications. There’s usually a very real and very har

There’s no point comparing apples to deep fried oreos for caloric density. The 919 Evo is a fully de-restricted prototype based off a legendary homologated race car, not remotely in the same category. The BYD U9 is a road-legal EV, comparin

Looks nice. For a true whiteboard experience, I think the 'Draw' tool should probably be the default rather than 'Select'. I was clicking around at first and couldn’t figure out why nothing was showing up.

The San Francisco marathon is this weekend and I think it’s going to break the city for this Robotaxi launch. There's major road closures for key arteries like Market st, Embarcadero, fisherman’s wharf, and the Presidio. Traffic always

Actually this sounds great. I got way more out of codecademy’s in-browser, interactive challenges than I did in my middle & high-school classes programming classes. The "learn by doing" process really built my confidence. If y

I used to have plenty of energy running 40-50miles per week, but when I ramped up to 80mpw I started nodding off in my chair by 1 PM. Then despite the higher mileage and more intense training, my race times slipped. My half went from 1:23 t

Curious how you landed on the idea to partner with local GCP/Azure reps. That’s a smart move, I didn’t realize they’d be open to helping. Did you pitch it as a way to help them close deals by offering custom solutions?

FWIW I built a streamlit app to extrapolate tribal knowledge in excel trackers into markdown wikis for vector database ingestion. Instead of uploading raw tables, it maps sheet headers to real headings to wrap each section in wiki-type form

This is fascinating. Could the same machine (PRAD) be adapted to zap mosquitoes in flight and help control disease vectors? Nothing’s worse than waking up to multiple mosquito bites and dreading falling asleep knowing there’ll be more.

The current title “How aging stem cells fuel visceral fat gain in middle age” suggests that existing stem cells simply ramp up fat production as they age. Single-cell RNA sequencing of APCs then identified a new committed preadipocyte popu

Any advice for leveraging a startup role to boost your career? I’ve seen friends turn their positions at early stage companies (Pre-Seed/Seed/Series A) into things like raising funding for their own ventures, hosting galas at SF m

First off, that sounds incredibly frustrating. I’ve seen this archetype before—a business person with just enough technical knowledge to chime in on complex product decisions, but without the patience or interest to develop any real depth.

People have had similar sentiments in tennis about how racket and ball technology has changed the game over the years. Moving away from wooden rackets led to a massive increase in power and a larger sweet spot, which transformed the game fr

Yes, the customer is returning, but that’s completely normal in the bespoke tailoring process—it’s not new business. The process of getting a completely bespoke suit there's usually multiple fittings over several weeks. It's norma

Curious—what useful things are you looking to work on right now? I'd love to learn more and help out. In my opinion, this AI development stalemate is more layered. Big companies set such broad targets in a race to catch up with OpenAI

Have you looked into agentic chrome extensions like MultiOn? They use a similar class of AI model, but work on top of existing open browser tabs.

Could you explain more on how to do this? e.g if I am using the Claude API in my service, how would you suggest I go about setting up and controlling my own inference endpoint?

From my experience, ASR-to-NER pipelines don't perform adequately out of the box. Even though SOTA ASR systems claim 85% word accuracy, the distribution of errors is worth looking into. Errors around critical entities like credit card

I’m not sure what’s behind this, could be endorphins, adrenaline, or something else entirely-- but I wonder if it’s related to that “runner’s high”. The first time I ran a 20-miler on a Sunday, about 3 hours of steady, low-key cardio, I wen
