Agreed about pandemic affecting downtown being the man culprit. I wager SF was affected harder more than most downtowns due to high commercial rents, tons of startups that were nimble and moved, and lots of progressive big companies that ar

I feel the swing of the pendulum here. I own mostly but Apple gear right now but I’m being pulled back towards more open and extensible hardware and software. The GPU is a big one. Nvidia hardware unlocks a lot of gaming, graphics, video an

Could you run old demos like Future Crew / Second Reality on this? I’m always thinking about ways to capture old demoscene stuff in high quality video.

Asking ChatGPT to write html / css / tailwind is my favorite application so far. I still can’t remember how to horizontally and vertically center an element but CGPT sure can.

AI plus distance learning is a one-two punch. Surely universities can use timed in-person tests with no internet or phones if they want to guarantee human results. Reminds me of university maths after the advent of the TI-89. The calculator

Fascinating. Her client could still pay her for 3 hours if they wanted to… I’m guessing they are using the free or cheap version for ChatGPT and they are getting similar value from her. Without her skills the content is worthless. Of course

Nailed it. Time to watch the ecological cycle play out again. If i had to bet, Google won’t survive. Someone much smaller and nimble will take over.

Googles business is to sell your eyeballs to advertisers. If you click on one of those junk pages you’ll likely get more ads. Not good business to send you directly to the ad free reference site with all the answers.

Also we will see a similar cycle play out with AI that computing devices did. Right now we back in the “mainframe” days where IBM, MS, and Google have the systems. Next will be “super computers”, then “work stations”, then “personal compute

If killed off means 0 that will never happen. But surely mobile dominates desktops worldwide now. Most things are mobile first or mobile only.

But provenance will not be block chain and NFTs… More like a shift back to universities producing, curating and verifying the highest quality human produced data.

I read that GPT adds some “watermarking” to its content to help with detection of pure AI generated content. Certainly we already need tools for this just like those to detect plagiarism. Cat and mouse game I know but AIs that can detect AI

We’re moving even further to the end for scraping the entire web and pagerank. It’s been on a steady decline for a long time with dark SEO and filler content patterns. Google already tries to just give you the right answer to your question

SF resident here. The on-demand scooter rentals model needs more thought. The scooters are often broken, not charged, under powered or unsafe (unless you bring your own helmet) to get around. Ppl leave them blocking sidewalks and etc. Best

I think you’re both right. Microsoft won’t let theirs run free but there will be other vendors that do. Who is intimately responsible for all of this? Is it the end user? Don’t ask questions you don’t want to hear potentially dangerous answ

Came here to say this. Flutter draws to a canvas at 60 FPS and uses the GPU. https://buildflutter.com/how-flutter-works/ Anecdotally, I see it getting faster and faster on new engine versions without app changes.

Perhaps an engineering manager can use one trained on entire Slack history, all Jira tickets, and all PRs to stub out some new tickets and even first PR drafts themselves… We will always need humans to prompt, prioritize, review, ship and s

Agree LeetCode is one of the least surprising starting points. Any human that reads the LeetCode books and practices and remembers the fundamentals will pass a LeetCode test. But there is also a ton of code out there for highly scalable cli

Heroku also has a free or cheap tool to back up databases to s3 and download or copy the backup. Totally understand expectations that a managed database service will keep your data but if it’s truly mission critical take backups…

Product decision. A classic jukebox can only have 100 albums. Constraints are powerful.

Spotify changed the behavior of the whole world w.r.t music. They made an experience so much better and easier than buying or pirating music, and collect $10 / person / month forever for it. They also made the platform developer a

It turns out this is a great passion project to work on because I'm 100% sure you can't build a business around this idea for music licensing reasons. Personal use only!

Nice! Back in the day I made GistDeck, which made presentations from Markdown in a gist via a bookmarklet. https://github.com/nzoschke/gistdeck Awesome to see this idea fully realized.

Very cool. I have a weird obsession with number input devices for my DIY jukebox. I could totally see using this to enter the 4 digits to pick a song. I’ve long thought about touch tone phone keypads too. There’s a frankenstein jukebox at Z
