Hahahahahha. I love this. Brilliant work.

Yeah, I’ve notice that people have started to sound like LLMs even when the LLMs aren’t writing for them. Not stupid people. Not lazy people. Some of the smartest people I know —- I can’t figure out how to use an em dash here, but you get t

Sort of related, but we had to shard as usage grew and didn’t have uuids and it was annoying. Wasn’t the most annoying bit though. Whole thing is pretty complex regardless of uuid, if you have a highly interconnected data model that needs t

Really beautiful. I bet Ramanujan just “saw” and felt these.

That doesn't make sense. The free part is the marketing, the more people like it, the faster it spreads. I run a freemium business and all the motivation internally is to increase growth by improving the free product. Once you achieve

I have had a few epic refactoring failures with Gemini relative to Claude. For example: I asked both to change a bunch of code into functions to pass into a `pipe` type function, and Gemini truly seemed to have no idea what it was supposed

Yeah, it's a good point, but I think that our intuitions are different on this one. I don't have a horse in this race, but my assumption is that the next OpenAI release will be a massive leap, that makes GPT 4/Claude 3 Opus l

Two things interest me about Claude being better than GPT-4: 1) We are all breathless that it is better. But a year has passed since GPT4. It’s like we’re excited that someone beat Usain Bolt’s 100 meter time from when he was 7. Impressive,

Ummmm ... what is grub? Didn't see any links to it from the three random grub2 repos I looked at.

True! I meant "artificial scarcity" in the economic sense of monopolies reduce supply of an abundant material to drive up prices.

My best friend's dad was high up in Woodstock 99 corporate, which means he was responsible for making much of it run (yeah, I guess there were some issues ). We had backstage passes, a house, and a ... weird experience. Did some stupid

This kind of attitude is how bad products get made.

It was really fun, but maybe throw a few combos closer in weight in? I played for maybe 5 minutes and didn't get any wrong. I would have played longer if I got some wrong.

Oy. Yes there, are legit uses. A few straightforward examples: 1) You implementing something boards (like trello) on mobile. The well-established-in-all-the-apps-that-specialize-in-this behavior is snap scrolling. 2) Tiktok/stories&#x2

I know this is pedantic, but I think your point applies to 10,000 years ago :) 1000 years ago many empires had already risen and fallen in China and it was a centralized agricultural civilization. Not an expert. Also fall of civilizations p

Yeah, I was thinking about the old fashioned cheerleading things, without any electricity involved. I even thought about being explicit in case someone was going to be pedantic ... there’s even an emoji for it

Disagree! The article explains something extremely cool: that there’s a layer in the ocean that acts like a megaphone, where sound that passes into it gets caught and propagates way further. That’s cool and specific.

My sister choreographed this dance, and I’m a little unhappy that she isn’t mentioned here by name. She’s brilliant, and I want her to get credit. Her name is Monica Thomas. Her dance company is called Mad King Thomas. Here is her brand new

My 6 year old twins like to come up with questions about whether you would rather die or have X happen. Recently, one asked, "I know the answer is obvious" and then asked me if I'd rather die or have a bunch of dogs die. And

What are the API features you use most and would want/need? Also, we were frozen for a long time but have been making meaningful improvements for a while now, I’m guessing your evaluation of us not growing comes from the olden days. As

Our mobile apps have had a major overhaul, you should try them again.

Yeah, we're going to address this. A/B tests and metrics guided us to this (it converts better), and I don't know why the minimal-information thing has worked well for us, maybe it forces people to try it out. I think some of

Nice! I'm founder of workflowy and this is indeed very cool.* I've often thought about a vim-like navigation mode for jumping around. * https://workflowy.com in case you aren't familiar

This seems like brad coming up with a list of things that annoy him, without any data to back it up. I also like using password managers, but all that really matters are the results that services get from different flows. Magic links, for e
