Amazon does print on demand. I have a book published there that I sell at cost and it’s about $8 shipped. Print quality is pretty good. If you make changes, you just upload a new template and you’re all set.

For what it’s worth I would have purchased if this was available in physical form (I’m weighing purchasing anyway, but my personal hunch is I’d pay $20-30 for physical copy and probably $10-20 for pdf). Amazon makes it quite easy to publish

I wrote a CLI tool (GitHub.com/dtnewman/zev) and including a gif video at the top of the readme made a big difference.

> the fact that their empires are now all they'll ever be Eh, Mark Zuckerberg is 40. Facebook is planting seeds in some pretty ambitious places (VR/AR + AI). To put that into perspective, Elon Musk is 53 now, but he was ~40 whe

The article is talking about new grads generally, but I think there's an issue with AI that isn't talked about enough. It's not that it's taking away jobs [1], it's that it is taking away skills. Even if you are the

AWS lambda + API gateway. I use serverless to deploy to these. If traffic is high, this could get pricy. For example, i have a site up getting about 20,000k visitors a day, hitting it many times each and it's probably costing me $400&#

I’m debating changing it. I do pull in env vars to use as default values (e.g. you already have an API key set). But I might transition way from env variables.

1) When you are selecting a command you get a little description at the bottom telling you what it does. 2) this doesn’t run anything. It goes to your clipboard and you have to run it yourself 3) this a good callout… what do u think? I’m th

different use case. atuin is for past commands, whereas this uses an LLM to give you options for commands.

Thanks! My main issue is that i'm lazy and although i often know approximately what i want i don't want to type a lot of words to describe it exactly. For example writing `zev 'show disk usage'` is somewhat ambiguous. Am

it should run outside of a virtual env and is intended to be installed locally. That said, it currently has too many dependencies (IMO) and i'm working on cutting them down to avoid conflicts.

creator here. It pulls env variables from a file in your appstorage directory. I need to change this in a future release to make it cleaner, since I don't think i like it intermingling with env variables. That said, did you run `zev --

I built a chrome extension for teachers that grew to 200k users with no marketing budget. It solved a pressing problem for teachers. But I built it and showed it to teachers and.... crickets. Absolutely no one found it organically by search

Costco is a bit different. If I don't have a Visa, i can pay with cash, personal check, or debit card. Sure, I'd prefer to pay with credit card, but it's not a huge deal for me to use a debit card there. With Uber, there simp

I’m not sure I follow. Sure, people lie, and make stuff up all the time. If an LLM goes and parrots that, then I would argue that it isn’t hallucinating. Hallucinating would be where it makes something up that is not in its training site no

Really depends on your use case. For low value tasks this is way too expensive. But for context, let’s say a court opinion is an average of 6000 words. Let’s say i want to analyze 10 court opinions and pull some information out that’s relev

I do the same thing as you but with owning the root domain, so no need for a +. In other words, I would use spectrum@example.com for this (i have a catchall rule so it forwards to the same place). I’ve never had an email validation issue a

The price is fine. Maybe low. The real question is can you find users? There are probably thousands or tens of thousands of products out there that would improve my life that I have never heard of. There are many I have heard of that I’m to

Nice! You should check out a free chrome plugin that I wrote for this called revision history. It’s organically grown to 140k users, so the problem obviously resonates (revisionhistory.com).

From my experience, this is not necessarily true. Some companies might have the budget to pay at the 50th percentile in New York, or the 95th percentile somewhere else, and would prefer to do the latter
