I will continue to purchase from them, but their buying experience is just horrid. Take a page from Apple and consolidate your offerings + offer less customization.

Let me refine: consumers care about privacy but are OK sacrificing it for convenience.

Much respect to Neeva for being in the arena. Couple thoughts: * Outside of the HN crowd, I don't think the average consumer thinks of privacy as a differentiator. * I don't know if competing on general search is the way in. I thi

I was talking to a student at UC Berkeley the other day. He said ChatGPT use is very prevalent and professors don't know how to deal with it right now.

This is the glaring omission in this piece. Googles know _so much_ about me. Is it not reasonable to assume powerful llm + personal data = personal tuned LLM?

Sad to see, I remember being hooked to their early work. I’ll occasionally watch Vice News which is still good. On the ground, on or near the front lines of a conflict zone, has always been there sweet spot.

Former congressional intern and WH intern (and later WH staff) here - it's possible to get those internships without a recommendation from someone worth listening to. I would go so far as to say it's mildly common.

I'm on the fundraising circuit right now, hence my use of that wording. Domain specific knowledge + connections is better put.

I think this is the big bet a lot of startups are taking. Aggregate demand quickly with GPT4 and then migrate off to another LLM. The assumption here is those other LLMs can be specialized to perform better than a general purpose one. A pat

For a brief moment, it looked like they were bringing in a new demographic that wasn't active on twitter. So I could've seen a moat there. Agreed on pure tech - never saw it a pure moat in itself.

Admittedly I was coming in with the same perspective as OP so I wasn’t aware you could smoothly play triple A titles via streaming. No catch, no hang ups?

I was wondering this too. Does this also affect whether they can do business there?

I don't, but suppose on a pure hourly basis they're paid the same. I think that's still unfair, given the amount of value a CS lecturer delivers over an admin.

Great observation. I'm trying to figure out why that is. Couple guesses: * Less buying options * No online shopping so the FOMO of a better deal is not there * The staff actually knew what they were talking about and less salesy than t

This is true to this day. Ask me how I know, as a Lenovo laptop buyer for the past decade...

Can you ask them why they pay their teachers so little? I would think a CS lecturer is more valuable than your run of the mill admin.

I've taught HS kids for ~4 years so not quite the same demographic as yours. That said - and I know folks object to doing this - you have to play disciplinarian _and_ teacher. Set a firm culture around no phone usage and kick anyone ou

Which is fantastic for knowledge work. A lot our work as engineers, heck even me writing this sentence, is constructing text together based on patterns I've seen. I view tools like ChatGPT as having observed a huge number of patterns a

I asked this in my appointment a couple weeks ago. Was told insurance won’t cover it unless you are diabetic. I’m based in the US. I believe they are 200$ without insurance and you have to buy refills every two weeks.

User since the Hoary Hedgehog days. Congrats Canonical on the new release. Slight tangent - is 22.04 in a good place as a daily driver? I know it's an LTS release. Mostly recalling concerns around wayland and zoom playing well together

Respect for being in the arena and working on a useful problem. Sorry about the decision. Can I try to spin this moment in a different way: you have a fantastic story to tell as you pivot go head first into AI. You’ve built amazing, relevan

OP is pointing out relative differences and more importantly, culture. The very concept of the "American Dream" is proof positive of that.

I don't think it's any different from the French being proud of their work life balance.

Loved your phrasing here around “ground reality”. I do the same partly because I miss coding but mostly because I don’t want the code base to get away from me.

Many here share that journey. For me, it was printing out the Gentoo "hard mode" installation guide where you compiled _everything_ from scratch, including the kernel. Didn't make it but it taught me the terminal and some fou

Makes sense. Do you think there's space for an indie shop to make a successful RTS? Successful being, say, $1M in sales?

Just finished a match. GLA demolition vs China nuke general. I've seen that video - looked really nice. Disappointed as well.
