I'm rooting hard for Uruky. Is it showing any traction? I would love to hear this turn into a story where it sustains your family and a few employees.

awesome, your notes and music theory apps are very close to two of my hobby projects as well, the main difference is that my music app is guitar-centric unfortunately, I did not have the time to pursue them. good luck to you!

I am building on a publishing platform that aims to go against some of the tide. Strictly human content, pagination instead of endless feeds, one-off payments instead of subscriptions, linear feed by default, public profile scoring instead

Look around you. The stuff you wear, some of the stuff that surround you. The display you're reading this on. It was made by someone who cannot afford healthy food. Meritocracy my hairy ass.

Yeah, you can choose between two worlds: in the current one, Nike is producing shoes in you don't want to really know circumstances and is paying LeBron ~$40M a year. In another world, LeBron is still a millionaire, getting a nice $1

I've been able to calculate logarithms for well over 20 years. That's not the problem. The problem is even simpler mathematics. Proportions. How much do we give to first employees? How realistic is that John Smith, first salesman

Do you want agents to look more like people? Or should they look more like tools? I could be nicer about this if I wanted to, but I think you're contributing to dystopia.

To quote a classic: "Knowledge is power, France is bacon." (look it up if you're unfamiliar, it's something that makes me giggle every time I think of it)

It's _raison_, but "raisin d'être" would make an excellent name for a haute cuisine dessert.

It's very difficult to judge the attitudes and held values of people who lived in the past - I mean the parentheses. We don't know how much of it is real flaw or corruption and how much is just the zeitgeist they lived in. I would

Anyone who has read The Lord of The Rings has exactly zero reasons to trust Palantir.

It's only a matter of time until Waymo Premier Ultra Plus, as described by the premier documentary of our times, Black Mirror.

If anyone can enlighten me as to why my above comment is getting downvoted: please do. My impression is that I voiced a valid concern. I suspected handling parentheses is problematic.

Recently my impression has been that whatever the agentic tools are best at is also what's best for solo projects or proof of concepts. I used to love writing custom CSS, but Claude is just so much better at Tailwind that I ended up sw

Been to an Anthropic event in Paris last summer. They served caviar. It probably had good ROI.

I'm building something that aims to take on a bunch of the issues Substack has. I'm aware of what you refer to in (2), I see the results of all the "use our agent to write content in your voice, _totally_ human" tools, I

If you're "pro free market, but", you're not pro free market. That's fine, but you might want to reevaluate whether you're actually for it.

I started building a platform for human-first content but I don't know at this point whether I'm misreading the room completely or other people are also fed up. As I'm typing this, I'm listening to "I just can'

I don't _like_ them. It's just perplexing that these are the kinds of phrases our teachers would have praised us for and now they're red flags. They annoy me just as much.

English is not my native language but I consider myself a fairly advanced speaker - I hold a C2 level language certificate, lived in London, etc. These are exactly the kinds of sentences that would have gotten us outstanding grades as stude

As a fellow European who's also working on a similar move, I would just like to note that it is absolutely surreal that we have to consider this. I wish it was motivated by pure patriotism (give our money to relatively local businesses
