Fantastic idea, I'm sure there will be more such devices and a big market for them.
Note to the company: please check the scrolling on Firefox (macOS), it's a little weird.
There is basically no reason to use a tool that is "almost as good" for the same price as the best one. So people concentrate on the best ones out there.
> If you can't make it work in today's market, it's largely your fault
I think it's exactly the opposite situation. In this market most money are made from companies and recruiters. If there is less demand and more supply for white collar jobs, companies don't need to spend their resources on all possible channels to reach candidates. That's why some "default" channel like LinkedIn will get a job posting, and all others won't, especially if these are paid.
But he continues doing what he started. Considering the fact that he is very smart and definitely hungry for absolute power, you can think about his true goal. If he is ready to risk that much of his worth, it means that the potential win for him will bring so much more.
Is it a problem your service doesn't provide sharing functionality? I.e. I can imagine illegal content can be a problem if you do an image sharing service. But if it's some utility, you don't store anything for long and that's it and forbid any illegal content in terms of use.
Nice tool, simplicity is a big advantage, I'm sure you will quickly start getting more and more users. Prepare to handle them all:).
It would be interesting to hear how it's implemented (tech stack, PDF libs, any tech limitations etc).
And, you've got a lovely logo, please don't change it!
Can you share how you do this? For example, you've listened to a song on YT a few times, liked it. Do you try to find the artist on Bandcamp or iTunes and buy their album? Or order their merch?
How much do you spend on this monthly on average?
It can be a different thing for each person. For example, you might have some evening ritual that allows you to refresh your mind. Like an easy nice run. And then, with disabled notifications and clear mind, you can tackle your creative endeavors:).
Snap's device doesn't need a separate compute device, and I'm sure it's pretty trivial to make it smaller with such. So I would not judge based on this.
And anyway, I'm very glad to see Meta pushing towards AR, this is the good example of a company with bold vision.
I am actually very sure that Elon is an extremely smart person. I can also see that he amplifies and posts disinformation posts that spread hateful narratives. That's why I make a conclusion that his intentions are reaching his goals in this, quite evil and harmful for the society way.
Even if I liked him, this still would had hold true.
It might look like this, but thinking about it, I guess it's still useful in reducing unwanted interactions. People are lazy, and thus adding even a little friction can help a lot in preventing them from doing stalkering, spreading hate etc.
I.e. of course it's possible to login with another user, find the one who blocked you, make a screenshot or something and then quote it or perform any other interaction in your main account. But it's obviously not very easy.
So I'm sure it worked as a solution to reduce negative interactions on the platform. However, Musk doesn't want reducing these, his goal is spreading chaos and forcing his narratives, so the decision totally makes sense for him.
It obviously was bad for web sites, but it was great for games and animations. Great tooling for creators + extremely accessible distribution to any PC was a killer feature.
Lovely results, both in the original and in your posts. It’s interesting that by using a particular medium we can achieve very “warm” and human-like appearance even for drawings done by the machines.
I almost stopped using it a few years ago, so cannot argue regarding what’s happening now. I think it’s possible to effect such users, YouTube is doing this in their comments section almost successfully.
I saw a few pieces regarding Stack Overflow decline on the Internet. Now they partner with OpenAI and share their user data. But I think it would be great if they would be more ambitious and rethink what they offer to the community, so shared these thoughts in the post.
The idea for the post was inspired by the conversation with a colleague I had where he mentioned that it looks like now there might not be enough data in the whole Internet to train new AI models. On the other hand, most of the modern online services are financed through ads, where user attention is a price we pay to have everything for free.
Who knows maybe in the future we will have more great free AI-powered staff, but will pay for it with something else:).
Love the idea, had somewhat similar one and even have a demo, hope I will find time to complete it:).
Please share some video demonstration of how it works, it will help to fully grasp the idea.
> The problem is the adpocalypse. Everyone stopped paying for ads that weren’t the super-targeted kind.
Yeah, I kind of get it. What's the point for paying for a regular untargeted print or web banner if for a little more you can get extremely targeted one. And this drove the market to the current state.
But I guess with the Internet appearance and it being powered by ads, people just got used to free content. And this is the biggest conceptual issue, as now we don't even want to pay $1.99 for an online newspaper despite the fact it's extremely cheap in comparison to literally anything.
> newspapers, and magazines somehow survived selling "dumb" advertising
I think it's pretty clear that at least these (including their online versions) cannot survive in masse. We can argue around the reasons for this, but that's what happening.
This really resonates with me. Of course it's great to create something that other people enjoy, share it with them, get feedback etc.
But it also might create a pressure that will strip off all the pleasure from the activity completely. So for myself, I decided to share my creations and welcome feedback, but also see the main goal in creation itself.
We also have somewhat similar fake web sites for our national post operator Ukrposhta in Ukraine. Scammers send you a text message saying that you may receive a shipment, but need to pay for it to be delivered to your address.
I don’t know how the future will look like, but for now LLMs just help me to do the job quicker and become unstuck in case of some issues like “how do I write that regex”.
I believe developers performance will increase with these tools, but we will still be needed to properly get all the nuances of requirements and implementation.
