How do you deal with a corporation just moving their HQ to another state though? It is hard because you cannot just say oh we should only have a federal income tax because then states would just rely on the federal government for funding. A

Isn't this the main complaint people had about cable packages though? People were tired of paying $100/mo and only watching 10 channels out of 150. I came across a startup awhile ago that was handling the micropayments for you and

Curious what time period this was. For example, if you lived in Portland in 2019 and Seattle in 2023 it could just be inflation causing people to go out less.

It seems like the main feature is being able to access your home network to watch netflix, access LAN devices, etc. How is this different compared to running a tailscale exit node in your home network? Is the benefit of this that you have a

Is the idea that you would need less chemo after the tumor is broken up to remove any remaining cancer cells versus just starting out with chemo to remove the tumor?

Yeah I agree it is a lack of understanding on how to use the tools. The main issue I ran into in my undergrad FPGA class as a CS student was a lack of understanding on how to use the IDE. We jumped right into trying to get something running

Is a skill essentially a reusable prompt that is inserted at the start of any query? The marketing of Agents/MCP/skills/etc is very confusing to me.

The rise in the preventative screening centers (such as prenuvo) that offer whole body MRIs will be interesting. The research seems split on if it is worth it or just causes unneeded worry. Obviously if you catch something early then that i

Yeah, I have a feeling we will instead start exposing some /help api that the AI will first call to see all possible operations and how to use them in some sort of minified documentation format.

This is the first time I have heard of world models. Based on my brief reading it does look like this is the idea model for autonomous driving. I wonder if the self driving companies are already using this architecture or something close to

I have been part of a few migration projects like this. There is another issue apart from tests not existing. Business/Product still want new high priority features so developers keep adding new logic to the old system because they can

I have one and don't really use it for working remotely, but it really shines for media consumption. However, I agree with your points around it being heavy and not for everyone. The device definitely needs to be lighter, and most peop

if you want to invest in open ai I think you can just buy it on NASDAQ private markets.

As a java backend dev mainly working on web services, I wanted to like python, but I have found it really hard to work on a large python project because the auto complete just does not work as well as something like java. Maybe it is just d

"Each merchant pays a small fee". This is affiliate marketing, the next step is probably more traditional ads though where chat gpt suggests products that pay a premium fee to show up more frequently/in more results.

I remember when the c++ edition came out, but have not really followed since then. Are all of the servers/mods still written in Java and it was just the desktop client that was rewritten in c++? Or is there a division between Java mods

Seems like it would be really useful in a hospital setting as well. Instead of having to wear the heart rate monitors, etc. during recovery or a stress test it could be wireless.

Might as well try, the worst that can happen is they say no or ignore your email.

I am a backend dev, and I needed a website that was temporary for an event. I thought to myself this would be a good opportunity to learn some frontend development. After looking through the 20 different popular front end frameworks and get

With so much money flowing into the massive funds, do you think more and more unicorn startups will just stay private? It seems like there are liquidity opportunities for employees/founders via tender offers, secondaries, etc. If you a

I think the MCP will take off because it can inject ads. Lets say a ecommerce store exposes an MCP so you can order your stuff with a prompt. The MCP can still rank and serve results based on paid ads. Now I am sure people will figure out a

How do people even find these types of bugs? Is it just years and years experience allowing you to know where to look?

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Way easier to iterate when you have access to a machine shop vs having to upload a CAD file and have a part shipped from another country.

Yeah seeing the innovations DJI is making in agriculture makes me wonder why VCs do not want to fund other startups like it. I know the margins are worse and it takes way more capital to fund hardware companies, but that has to be better th

I agree there will be some breakthrough (maybe by Nvidia or maybe someone else) that allows these models to run insanely cheap and even locally on a laptop. I could see a hardware company coming out with some sort of specialized card that i

I have toured a few converted buildings in NYC. You end up with weird apartment layouts for reasons you mentioned. For example, a lot of the layouts were really long and narrow to satisfy the window requirement since office buildings are ge

Out of curiosity, why do you use Java instead of typescript for CDK? Just to keep everything in one language?
