Fun stuff. It does feel like NotebookLM (and others) are hurtling us toward a future that seems inevitable: all content is public domain, and people consume it in many transformed ways.

Those that get ahead of the curve and make their content publicly available and semantically well structured will see their ideas thrive.

This is awesome. The best "prompt engineering" tool I've seen yet. So well designed. There's a lot of useful things I might try with this.

Nicely done.

Nits: I'd add some small indicator of progress; an active state to the button; also I'd ditch the "one time button thing". You can already delete buttons so anyone can do one time buttons already.

> Is there any actual evidence of this?

Great question.

Some starting ideas to look for datasets: look at quality of innovation coming out of YC (short form that can be completed in < 10 minutes) versus many government agencies such as NIH (long, horrible application process that require attending training sessions).

Aloha! I think there's something novel you could do here that would catch on like wildfire. Here is me coding up the basics:

> Finally, sadly, the most obvious point .... a longer form helps sort the wheat from the chaff. Both in terms of cutting down the volume of applications some poor soul has to trawl over, but also helping keep the quality of applications high.

Opposite effect, actually. Longer forms get you a lot of the top 10%, but you miss out on the top 0.0001% who don't want to waste their time with people who aren't smart enough to design a brief form.

Love this! Love how you start with the BLUF (Apply now up top). Lots of great thinking here.

I think since you are starting this from scratch you can do something pretty revolutionary with your application (and far simpler, long term!). I demonstrate in the user test below.

Interesting. A couple of hallucinations but more important I was able to get some value out of this! Thank you!

Hey, this worked great. Really nice design. Gave me some good ideas. I could see myself coming back and using a lot of these neat little tools. 2 thumbs up. Thank you!

I love the concept and your design! I want to see less cluttered web pages too, but not sure if this is the best approach.

I love everything about this post. Thank you. What a great way to start the day. (One nit: it would be cool to have a link to the source code for the post).

Why have 2 concepts: agent and bot, instead of just one?

I was unable to get any value out of it. But seemed somewhat promising!

Very slick marketing! But too slick! I feel misled.

I'd suggest having a web version.

Aloha Mike!

I'm not the target market at all, but gave it a shot! Very cool that you've been in business for over 10 years.

Nice looking site. My only suggestion is to talk to your marketplace and find out what kinds of problems you can help them next with!

> “is it bad for my liver to be on most of the time?”

That's a good question!

I'm not sure. My guess would be its perfectly healthy (normal actually) to have 10x levels of ketones constantly than an American eating the SAD (Standard American Diet).

Anyone know of long term datasets that have looked at this in animals?

Continuous Ketone Monitors for humans have _just_ come out (AFAIK), so we should know soon.

Do you understand that copyright is slavery?

If so, then what are you doing about it?

Are you retarded or morally weak?

Hey this was very simple and fun to use. Thanks!

Okay I'm intrigued. I put my dollar in. Seems like a good value for the money but we'll see.

Suggestion: an about page! I went to know the people/faces behind this!

In 2017 Daniel Gross, a YC partner at the time, recruited me to join the YC software team. Sam Altman was president of YC at this time.

During my interview with Jared Friedman, their CTO, I asked him what Sam was trying to create, the greatest investment firm of all time surpassing Berkshire Hathway, or the greatest tech company surpassing Google? Without hesitation, Jared said Google. Sam wanted to surpass Google. (He did it with his other company, OpenAI, and not YC, but he did it nonetheless)

This morning I tried Googling something and the results sucked compared to what ChatGPT gave me.

Google still creates a ton of value (YouTube, Gmail, etc), but he has surpassed Google in terms of cutting edge tech.

For junior devs, I now can outsource higher level things to be accomplished: I.e. https://github.com/breck7/wws/issues

> Basically it looks like a tool that can code for you if you are capable of writing the code yourself (given enough time).

Yes, exactly. I use it the way I used to outsource tasks to junior developers. I describe what I need done and then I do code review.

I know roughly where I want to go and how to get there, like having a sink full of dirty dishes and visualizing an empty sink with all the dishes cleaned and put away, and I just instruct it to do the tedious bits.

But I try and watch how other people use it, and have a few other different styles that I employ sometimes as well.

Not the op, but I just tried it. I agree with his point that this is a huge step up in having the discussion and then a separate canvas where the work takes place, and then iterations are done to the canvas.

I LOVE the UX animation effect ChatGPT added to show the canvas being updated (even if it really is just for show).

Here's my user test so you know I actually used it. My jaw begins to drop around minute 7: https://news.pub/?try=https://www.youtube.com/embed/jx9LVsry...

I started skeptical, but by minute 7 I started to be blown away.

Simple. Fantastic. I'm probably going to start using this everyday.

Thank you cloudflare! Fighting patents is god's^god work.

Patents are poison. Patenting your invention is like poisoning your children. Never do it.

We need to abolish these things.

They were a great way to build a centralized public library of all new inventions in the early days of the Union at no cost to the government, but now are purely a drag on innovation and society and create horrible incentives that lead to things like the Opioid crisis.

^god feel free to find/replace this with nature/universe/humanity etc.

Aloha Pablo. Aaron was a mentor to me and one of my "heroes" (as much as one can have heros). My greatest regret in life is not being brave enough to stand up with him when he was under attack. I've cried about that often.

I'd love to help you out.
