My hunch is a loyal user base. Anecdotally, everyone I put onto Arc and the person who put me on still uses it. I’ve been using Arc for the last two years and was genuinely sad on its discontinuation. I now don’t really know what I’ll do wh

Word of mouth. Ironically enough, I just sent this to a friend around the same time you commented this "I’m curious where event discovery is for___, are there TG / WA groups?"

I don't think it needs to translate to "go on vacation". During my time being employed, this translated into getting up and stretching, taking a few minutes to look out the window, going for a short walk, taking an intention

I think there is also a reality in which our scope of what we care about is widened beyond just the human species. As a species that has such a powerful impact on other beings, it would be nice to try and reduce the amount of unnecessary s

As another mentioned, many of us haven't been trained. Every time I've reached for Siri I've been let down and just did it myself or didn't do it at all. When I bought the new iphone (coming from Android most recently a

This is awesome, yay for an open source https://getbrick.app/ I'm curious if you have an NFC tag that you'd recommend or that you like to use?

Definitely implement BYOK - although people may be skeptical because it's not running locally A side note - put on the site this exact message and then include your venmo or something - I bet you'll get donations :) I've had

I would love to see data on what the impact of more local restaurants, cafes and delis are seeing. As we work from home, we are spending more time in the actual places we live. This but paints one picture, and maybe the reality is that we

When I'm in that scenario, so much to do, so little time, what should I do ahhhh. I love to ask myself - "What am I resisting?" and then doing that thing. It's the biggest momentum creator that I've found. It&#x2

This is most similar to me as well. One of the key components of Buddhism is that it is experiential. While Buddhism is definitely a religion, it greatly differs from Judeo Christian / Islamic theologies. I would try to pause before

This is so thorough, thank you so much - I really appreciate your insight! Loved the bit on higher expectations than a single employee along with becoming an expert / specialist in a particular area. Super appreciate it all, thank you

100%, this is exactly what I want. Provided that the opportunities are legit and aren't spam and that they pay actually competitive and it's not a race to the bottom like upwork or something

My guess is they are using Embeds to efficiently search a larger corpus of data and picking some data sources that then get injected into the system prompt. That's how I'm doing it for myself and how many other companies are doing

Nothing is divorced from nature, we are nature. With that said, I think people who live in cities tend to feel plants, animals and ecosystems that are not ours less, and therefore we may be quite ignorant to the destruction we are causing.

Edit: I also see that I am falling prey to exactly what the paper itself is talking about. "The more adept LLMs become at mimicking human language, the more vulnerable we become to anthropomorphism, to seeing the systems in which they

Woahhh cool that there is a word for it! I most definitely have a similar memory (autobiographical)...and am 30! I've been learning how to navigate it - for example "tell me about a time that..." is extremely difficult for m

This isn't based on anything except for intuition, take it or leave it :). Like most things - eliminating the highest points of contact likely would suffice. Daily habits are the ones that matter. Are you drinking from a plastic water

One thing to note is that this is distinctly the differentiator of AMMs (automated market makers), Uniswap for example. Here are the docs for V1 (V3 is different, but the core pieces remain) https://docs.uniswap.org/protocol

I mean none of this is ever going to go away, right? We'll always have diseases...right? So is wearing a mask, and staying apart from people actually a sustainable way of living, long term? We are now in the long term, we did that fo

Re-learning to love gifts, particularly the giving aspect has brought a lot of joy to my life recently. But I am not talking about buying someone something at Walmart, something they can just buy themselves. The gifts tend to skew more tow

Not a parent, but for me when gift giving and receiving - there is a lot of joy in opening the completely 100% unopened thing. And opening many children toys is usually pretty difficult without scissors and or destroying the packaging. The

As you likely know, you are at the point where more money won't change these feelings. Therapy or meditation, likely both may help induce a shift. As the grip loosens you will find many things begin to change. "Sleeping well at n

I agree but to a point. I am curious how this plays out when what is recorded wouldn't necessarily be audible or intelligible by the human ear but is able to be picked up and amplified via post processing or more sensitive devices. Wi

Put your big belongings in storage, pack a car and spend the next few months shopping around. Visit cities and places you think you'd like, get an Airbnb for a month or 2. I did this when COVID first hit (am still doing it) and love

The typical CS "curriculum" has a pretty large focus on performance. Most of the assignments given in my university had constraints around time, memory and cpu consumption. Therefore performance was heavily focused on. This has
