I feel it's harder for a tesla to capture footage of a teenager reading a pamphlet on a plane, but who knows what Elon's plans are.

Small example to show that performance can be great: Phoenix (the Rails-comparable web framework for Elixir) defaults to listing microseconds instead of milliseconds for response times.

Your phone operates roughly 10x slower in terms of Hz.

I really like Supermaven, which lives inside my existing VSCode install. I didn’t love the idea of switching editors (even with extension porting) so I haven’t tried cursor.

Supermaven was miles ahead of Githhb copilot for me.

I don’t know if Jeremy will see this, but:

At my org it’s hard to get justification for donations.

However if this was something like ~100$ a year or whatever per dev, I’d be paying it today for my team.

I’d be curious how this compares to supermaven, my current favourite AI autocomplete.

Not a battery expert, but this seems the right ballpark for useful batteries.

Back of envelope stuff:

1liter for 18Wh.

1k liter 18KWh (this is an average hot tub).

10k litre for 180Kwh. This is a ~$1000 farming tank.

~100KWh lithium batteries are around the $20-30k. (Used Tesla pack for reference)

Quick google shows flow electrolyte in the neighbourhood of $100 per KWh. Or $10k for a ~100KWh battery.

All this is nothing definitive, but it’s not showing any 10x or 100x differences that would rule out an interesting idea.

I’ve also stopped calling these soft skills.

It’s a comparison to “hard skills”, usually meaning technical skills.

And these interpersonal and communication skills are extremely hard. Calling them soft devalues anyone who has cultivated them.

Why not? The skeleton model doesn’t appear to be doing full skin simulation, it simulates repulsion of the skeleton.

I’m also interested in your take on it, if you wanted to publish a response publicly. Would love something like this for enterprise SaaS clients.

Assuming this means 25/75 percent, there is a strong counterpoint to this:

99% of the work is ahead of you. 95% of the risk is ahead of you.

So why get only 25% if the CEO gets 75?

Here’s a split I would want if joining an early startup as CTO / co-founder-in-all-but-name:

40% CEO. 30% CTO. 30% Employee pool (this assumes another big chunk will need to be given to at least one other key hire in the next year).

Have you tried supermaven? It replaced copilot for me a couple of months ago.

It’s ~888 hours, or 37 days.

You dropped a 0 somewhere.

The name is from Omakase (a term DHH likes) & Ubuntu.

For disambiguation, this project is also not implying the following:

Om - this is not a flavour of Linux oriented to Meditation.

Maku - this project is not associated with the city in Iran.

Oma - this project was not created by a German grandmother. DHH is a man from Denmark.

It's somewhat naive to think that politics and life are not intertwined. There is no "getting the work done" without a huge amount of hidden politics.

Bravo to this community for being explicit about it.

I've been thinking of creating an app with a type-safe core in gleam, and then using elixir/phoenix for its more mature web / live interfaces.

Shame it’s on Medium, so I immediately get a paywall / ad, and don’t end up reading your post.

Question: hasn't around.co been doing this for years?

I remember using that tool in 2022 or so, multiple people in a room with this kind of audio sync / cancellation.

I agree, and I don't think this is a good ad for all those reasons.

But if you want to infer values of the company from an ad, and say things like "Apple wants to destroy pianos", then considering the intent of the author is absolutely relevant.

There's a real element of media literacy (or lack thereof) that we have to consider in this issue.

What was the intent of the media?

This is obviously open to interpretation, but to me I see the intent being that all these tools for creative expression are being combined/squashed/pressed into this thing which is very thin. That's why they chose the press. They also chose the press because it looks visually interesting, they are trying to make a fun ad.

I really can't imagine that anyone in that ad was trying to imply that the iPad destroys those objects, or that those objects should be destroyed, or are now valueless. They are saying that this device contains the functionality of all these big items squashed into one crazy tiny thing. Amazement at what it can do, NOT a desire to destroy or make obsolete real pianos.

From that viewpoint, it's clear they VERY clumsily applied a metaphor (combining + crushing into the iPad) with a visually fun thing (the explosions), resulting in people thinking they want to destroy pianos.

But importantly (if one takes the above as true, which you may not), you can't then say that the ad is trying to "tell that those tools are valueless, obsolete, objects of ridicule", that's not the intent of the author.

Livebook / scripting from a workbook has been a huge boost for my workflow over the last few years. And in the last 6 months even more so, now I have a full editor and autocomplete with copilot for scripting (with context of all my scripts).

Playbooks at work, exploration in personal projects, 80% of my terminal use is now driven by an editor and sending snippets to the terminal.

(I know this is more common for emacs and lisp users, but never really managed to get into that workflow myself, until livebook)

My only gripe is that livebook itself doesn’t love reloading if I edit the source files directly, and I’d like to get that working.

Email snooze is, for me, a standard requirement for any email tool. I tried the free trial but cancelled.

Not alone, I’ve been part of two teams who have evaluated fly and hit weird reliability or stability issues, deemed it not ready yet.

Don’t you mean 42million Gigabytes?

Or 42B KB/day

Yea but the inherent costs are not in the implementation. The complexity of integrating something like head tracking is only 10% to do with the “type” of head tracking.

So even if VP head tracking works differently, the groundwork has been laid for that category of feature.

This is an XY problem in my experience. The problem is not desk wiggle, it's monitor and webcam wiggle.

I mounted my monitor to my wall with an ergotron arm, and now I haven't noticed a single desktop wiggle.

The point is valid though. Yes Rails is particularly bad, but I've been working with Ruby for ~15 years now, and plenty of non-rails codebases in that time. The metaprogramming and implicitness runs deep in most of the community, it's common to find highly magic and hidden implementations in Ruby generally.

Same, I regularly switch from ortho colemak (with home row mods, key expansions, symbol layers, etc) to qwerty on my laptop with no issues.

The only thing that messes me up is if I start looking at the keyboard or trying to bypass my muscle memory to type. E.g. to input a complex password with uncommon symbols.
