My take, Low security should use passwords. None of that fancy &@73gdb-Whb stuff. Just a regular word. Suitable for Netflix and meditation apps that want a basic login to prove that you paid. Medium security should use magic links and a

Google laid off the Flutter team. They still seem to be releasing Flutter announcements but it's slow. One big part of Flutter was that it was a hedge against Java lawsuits back in the day. The other was that it was experimenting with

Paid APIs are definitely a thing. Payment gateways do this.In the LLM era you can do this too - lots of data processing to be done. But compare Aider/Claude Code with Cursor. One is much more popular than the other two despite being si

A bit off topic, but I wrote a guide to do this on Herok for anyone curious: https://smuzani.medium.com/setting-up-a-mobile-backend-serve... I'm not sure if it's still valid but it's not too hard, and still m

There are almost none because everything goes obsolete in a month. In 6 months, it's deprecated. Nearly every book or guide you find will be outdated by the time it's released and the people who write them are getting exhausted wi

It was like the search engine era. Everyone threw money at everything and Google won. Looks like Cursor might be the next Google at this rate. But there's still other things to win at in the AI arena, so there's probably some FOMO

We use it too, but anything that requires actual funds, we would migrate to AWS or refactor. Like we'd use to allow PMs to change banners/copy on the fly, but Supabase is better. It does RAG but Supabase does that better too. Fire

They didn't shut down Parse though. You just had to self-host it. But somehow when Big Tech drops support for anything, people just migrate out of it for no reason and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Like Flutter careers are com

Lark is actually pretty good. It has a counterpart - Atlassian, MS Teams, but it's a little better than both of these yet not as good as Slack. (IMHO) It seems to be a little better at sharing data to external parties as well, which Sl

Out of curiosity, what do you do for entertainment? I assume it would cut off a lot of social events as well... unless you get these via email?

There's cost based pricing and there's price based costing. Food and clothing, anything with complex supply chains tend to be cost based pricing. As a rule of thumb, it's x3, maybe x4 for a well-branded item like Nike or Calv

Yeah, I've done mobile for almost a decade and it seems like Flutter is the much stronger option here, despite a bigger market on React Native. Over several years, several jobs, different projects, we've analyses on whether to mov

No offense taken. It got me curious. I actually do train AI to code in Singaporean English in my spare time, so I try to be aware, lol. I'm not aware of voice training though. x.AI outsources lots of stuff to Malaysia. Google has some,

AI accents are incredibly good these days, especially eleven labs. ChatGPT is not a leader in this. I spent about $20 on this before just because I like the sound of its voice.

It turns a sentence into a suggestion rather than a command.

Malaysian here. Uptalk is used more to turn a sentence into a suggestion. Something like "Hey, there's one dim sum left," to suggest that I'm taking this but you can challenge it. I could see why ChatGPT would adopt it

A lot of this stuff is on a YouTube education level, not even a degree. I would be shocked if the US does not have a bunch of economic advisors who tell them what problems there are and what should be done. They've probably mapped out

Exactly. I would be surprised if most kings and prime ministers haven't hired a Trump expert by now. If there's one skill democratic leaders are good at, it's figuring out what the other party wants. It probably just plays ou

Cash can bleed slower than the others, especially if there's stagflation. Liquidity is nice too during uncertain times. Also nearly 100% tariffs on one of the biggest trading partners is unlikely to hold for very long. There's pro

It's literally in his book. He does a crazy thing. Big. Massive. Then gets the other party to negotiate it down to what he really intended. 10% is a lot, but now it looks smaller. He's also fighting back very hard on a few fronts,

Personally, I think the newer ones ask better, curious questions. The more experienced ones know when not to follow common practice. Things change really fast, more so with AI tools, so it's important to have people question why we do

GPT-4o already one-shots Leetcode hard with just a screenshot. I know, it's trained on the answers. But it clicked in my head that if you give the LLM a very detailed specification + tests to the level of detail that Leetcode does, you

I usually do both at the same time. Ironically because Google.com is the shortest path to Gemini. The other day I was also searching for something dumb: how to hammer a nail into concrete. Google will find me instructions for a hammer-drill

I was thinking Grab, back when they were called MyTeksi. Honestly the reason I don't answer these questions is that it's just so hard to dig up this info. It feels like genealogy, which is fine for curiosity, but I can't tell

Nope. None of it is. The experimental nature is part of the fun and part of the flex. I think there's little incentive to keep it very stable or safe. In general, experimental technology tends to take 3 or so years to solidify. But AI

That sounds almost exactly what ChatGPT's Deep Research does. (Not to be confused with Grok's which seems to be doing mostly busywork) It's a bit like a crawler, goes through papers, then follows down to other relevant papers
