The latest Cloudflare outage is crazy -- all POST bodies are dropped between my browser and my backend via my local Cloudflare POP. It's not affecting all regions, but the regions it affects are completely FUBAR.

No sign on the status page. But two separate / unrelated accounts I know about are fully down right now. Data services / backend workers seem fine, web/routing layer seems to be dead.

We use nano banana extensively to build video storyboards, which we then turn into full motion video with a combination of img2vid models. It sounds like we're doing similar things, trying to keep images/characters/setting&#x

I use useEffect the same way and suffer the same grievances. I think it's because useEffect is intended as a way to keep references/state synced, not trigger downstream logic on various interactions. But there's only one useE

Image editing/compositing/remixing is not quite as good as gpt-image-1, but the results are really compelling anyway due to the dramatic increase in speed! Playing with it just now, it's often 5 seconds for a compositing task

Looks like the post title got the wrong “capital”, the name is Capitol (ie, the Capitol Building, where congresspeople work)

There are so many challenges with building a social app, especially around contacts... I'm not sure how they'll mitigate all this stuff, but fun to think about it and hope they do succeed in doing so anyway. A few considerations o

Anecdotal, but my neighborhood police chief (Ingleside) recently shared that thefts are down across the board in her reporting area. Seems backed up by aggregate reports: https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/s

A better title for this website might be "Where are crimes reported in SF?" -- it does not help us understand or contextualize how "safe" SF is overall compared to anything else, or even understand the types of crimes re

Too many nontechnical folks I talk to act like they’re blocked because they don't have a technical cofounder to build their amazing app idea. But there’s so much they can do to build a business with no code with today’s tools! Technica

I appreciate the honest description of what it feels like to do something where nobody cares. With all the glamour surrounding successful startups, it’s easy to think your journey will feel like a movie montage followed by rewards relativel

Also it sounds like there is a need to be more aggressive with managing your calendar. At some point you have to organize your time into blocks where you can actually do work and manage when you are in "teaching mode".

This plus do not get overly distracted by the ones who can’t figure it out on their own after some basic guidance. Identify the juniors who do well, and leverage them to help drive your / the org’s goals. They will get promoted and you

It’s fairly small, built by a team of 3 over the course of a few years. Probably less than 100 endpoints. Good coverage for the core, not for the rest. (Eg, zero tests for the main way the app makes money, photo books. )
