I love working from home :) But if I was doing the “give 100% to a startup” thing - as an employee or a founder - there’s no way I could stomach being 100% remote. No remote tools can replace having people in the same room working through a

I’m nearly positive that’s an editor “feature”. If you submit queries via the API, you can have blank lines.

Internet speed is probably not even a top 5 reason why people don’t serve their own content. What a security nightmare

Correct. There’s a reason they don’t just solder an SD card inside the phone
95.
by beoberha 2y ago
I think that is definitely a part of the thinking. But also SD cards are not known for their reliability. I’m sure there is a conscious decision to prevent the poor user experience of having their phone’s SD card crap out on them.

AI is quickly becoming a commodity which is awesome for consumers. I think we’re going to see a huge shakeout of companies who dazzled with the initial allure of LLMs being replaced by the “killer AI apps” where we really start to rethink m

The more advanced index algorithms don’t fit nicely into typical database indexes like B-Trees. That’s definitely why there was a lag between dbs like Pinecone and Postgres. However, that moat isn’t significant and being quickly filled in

by beoberha 2y ago
there was a long time that pgvector only had basic similarity algorithms and not HNSW but pinecone did. That plus being “fully managed” made it a super compelling product. Nowadays, much less so, but there is still a market if it is more “e

Vector dbs are quickly becoming a commodity. This was not true when pinecone was founded and received its first few rounds of funding. At this point, Postgres has clearly caught up and the VCs are going to do everything it takes to hold on.

Love Logseq. It’s the best model Ive found for how I want to take notes. I used to get analysis paralysis managing structure or thinking about when to split off a new note. But with Logseq, you just write linearly and the hashtags take care

Sorry I didn’t mean GitHub Copilot. Code generation is definitely one of the better use cases for AI. I meant the “Copilot” brand that Microsoft has trotted out into pretty much everyone of its products and rolled together in this generic “

I work at Microsoft, though not in AI. This describes Copilot to a T. The demos are spectacular and get you so excited to go use it, but the reality is so underwhelming.

I hate when people do this, but I have to wonder how Steve Jobs would handle VR. In Jobs-ian fashion, Apple didn’t rush into a market and built a premium product that for all intents and purposes was well executed. However, the VR market ju

Yeah the boring answer is the right answer. It’s very clear to see the benefits and I think we’re only going to see more use cases emerge outside of the immediately obvious like a coding copilot. That said, there’s clearly industries where

Udio as a platform gives off this creepy dystopian vibe and I’m really not a fan. All the music is super uncanny valley - no idea who is actually listening to it. That said, I think there’s a great use for AI generated music in background n

by beoberha 2y ago
Nothing this sophisticated. From my research, MusicGen from Facebook seems to be the best open model you can run yourself. But it’s not intended for generating “songs”, just short clips of music in a style you specify. Still really really c

Funny this was posted today. I spent some time this weekend playing around with Facebook’s MusicGen and had a ton of fun. I’m planning to use it to have a personal 24/7 radio station. Wonder what Udio is using under the hood.

No chance id want to use these features for personal use for pretty much your exact reason. But for work - man I can’t wait.

I work for Microsoft, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I could not be more excited for these AI productivity features built into the OS. “Recall” is almost exactly what I’ve been dreaming of since the AI boom. I didn’t catch it in t

I am very impressed with Team’s summaries. Obviously it’s a summary, so you won’t get all the details. Also it’s great at listing action items that were declared in the meeting.

Yes please take my comment with a huge grain of salt. I’ve seen massive communication benefits for people with disabilities and people who are not native speakers

I work for Microsoft and obviously my opinions are my own, but I am pretty underwhelmed by all the Copilots. Besides Teams meeting summarization, they are all pretty worthless. I’ve never understood text generation in Word or Outlook. Anyth

Couldn’t agree more. I can’t emphasize enough how BIG Microsoft is and how many dimensions of security there are. Nobody has as many attack vectors as we do. I’m pretty confident in saying that. It’s a super hard problem and nearly impossib
