I had some fun doing some SQL joins with this:

This looks great! We've looked at a lot of these for our database GUI. I really love how fleshed out this is, and the multiplayer aspect of it!

I'm pretty sure the revolt is now 95% of employees, can it grow any further?

This is amazing, I feel like these vision models are going to make everything so much more accessible. Between the Be My Eyes app integration and now this, I'm really excited for how this transforms the web.

Do you see a way around prompt injection? It feels like any feature they release is going to be susceptible to it.

We did, we were slowly working towards migrating to AWS entirely and this just helped expedite it.

Is there a format I can read this all at once? Or watch a talk?

Presentations don't work so well if nobody is presenting.

We're homeschooling our kids. I was pretty against it at first, but seeing our education system degrade to the state it is today, and being honest about my schooling experience definitely opened me up to it.

I think the biggest argument for schooling is the socialization aspect of it. I don't know about the rest of you but I was bullied pretty relentlessly throughout grade school and it completely changed my personality. I became much more of a loner, reserved, quiet, and just defeated. I'm still working through some of that baggage 30 years later. That's not the socialization that I want for my kids.

I work remotely, my wife freelances. We have lots of friends and family with children our kids age, why not surround them by people who love them?

This is great news!

It feels like open-source is closing the gap with "Open"AI which is really exciting, and the acceleration towards parity is faster than more advancements made on the closed source models. Maybe it's wishful thinking though?

It's hard to take advice from someone peddling their own course.

I will say I'm probably somewhat biased as, we went through YC, and yes if you don't want to be VC-backed, then don't do it. Maybe the title should be "You shouldn't raise Venture Capital, buy my course instead!"

That being said, the beauty of YC, SAFEs, and seed funding is you don't have anyone on your board. You get to decide what you want to build, how you want to build it, etc... The point of joining YC and raising money is because it helps you figure out what to build/not to build, and to build faster, and YC is REALLY good at helping you sort that out.

There are founders out there who realized they've built a product that doesn't have the unicorn potential and pay back their investors. I'm pretty sure Daniel worked at Gumroad for a bit, and that's what Sahil did.

Again I find it really hard to take advice from folks who have "something better" to sell you.

This is a beautiful visualization, I still wish we invested more into this infrastructure.

Taking the train seems to double the duration of my trip over driving. Not having to drive is not a bad trade off though, if I have the time to relax.

War and technology, name a better duo? What is going to get really weird is how available a lot of this stuff is going to become.

We will have to depend on the morality of the masses and hope that most wont build their own killer drones in their garages.

I could honestly see this being the future of remote working, you still want face-to-face time, here you have it. Want to sit next to people in an "office" you can do it all virtually now. Of course you will need to add in the ability to draw on a whiteboard that's also rendered virtually, and a water cooler in the corner.

Oh and it's open-source so if you have ideas on how to improve of questions, please contribute!

Wonder if it has to do with AWS being down:

looks like another us-east-1 issue.

Why would you think that? There was no succession plan for these businesses, there was a high potential for them to shutter and the jobs would dry up with them.

Honestly, this feels like one of the better/more practical uses of venture capital that I've seen in a while.

Modern parking lots always seem ripe for physical phishing, whats stopping someone from sticking up a couple of QR codes that link to a fraudulent payment page or some other malware?

This is one of those things that tech really didn't "fix" and now I have to select from one of 20 apps instead of just paying with cash or even a credit card.

Thanks for the link!

That's a shame, I was really impressed with their research in that space.

There was that Sims post the other day from a16z as well. Seems like a plausible next area for them to take on.

Was it them or someone else who trained their bots on Dota a few years back?

Yeah, as it's grown in popularity I've noticed this too. I often times stop myself and think, it's probably better spending the extra 10% or so to get a manufacturer warranty.

I was assuming it was from resellers, but maybe it's just the idea of getting a "deal"

There's a business near me that just buys truck loads of returns from Amazon, Lowes, Home Depot, etc... and allows customers to bid on each item individually.

You can definitely get a good deal there on expensive items, but you have to be careful because more often than not things were returned because they were broke. You just pay extra to allow for returns.

Was able to get a seemingly new iMac, couch, semi-automatic coffee machine, and lawn equipment.

Yes! I just used it last week to create a quick gallery website. It's been a lot of fun playing around with it. Like the other poster said though I wasn't able to get it to do everything I wanted in frontend so used a bit of vanilla javascript as well.

How fortunate, I was looking for something like this today for a side project. HTML can do so much already, I'd rather lean into it than use one of the bloated frameworks/libraries out there.

Really helpful to see it all in one place!

This is really cool, just played around with it a bit but excited to do a deeper dive later. Nice work guys!

Yeah, I have never liked that you choose what you are querying before you select the source. I think the formatting here is so much more intuitive.

This is a bad take. It's like paying people based on years of experience vs. talent and output.

Hey sorry I missed this one earlier, so right now it doesn't work locally, but definitely something we're exploring.

Also how would you want backups to work? Would you want us to store those for you? Or I guess if it was local would you want them to be stored on your machine at X interval?

This looks great! Send an email to brandon [at] outerbase [dot] com and we can find some time to chat.

Really appreciate it!

So right now a user can create a query, save it, and share it with their teammate for verification. Their isn’t currently a more automated workflow to do this, but it is something we are definitely exploring.
