I just bought it. Very nice, does what you would expect.

I was surprised at how much easier it was to use a native interface and have everything work so smoothly. I like the GUI touches (icons for new conversations, etc.). Very mac-like.

This is super cool, a great addition to Alfred for typing goodness.

Elizabeth Spiers is great on the Slate money podcast. Good insight.

So, not unrelated was a post from reddit where someone built a little better environment for a frog in their yard: https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/11czhbt/g... and they ended up with a zoo.

While whimsical, it shows very how adjusting your environment just a little bit can really attract wildlife.

It seems like you are conflating Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with Karl Malone. They are completely different players from completely different eras. Kareem broke his scoring record the year before Karl joined the league. This analogy is inappropriate at best, and deceptive and racist at worst.

Other than race and vocation Karl and Kareem share very little in common. Different eras, different positions on the court, different lives, completely different people. Kareem has been a class act, a gracious, accomplished athlete and a devoted activist for all of his long life.

You should really think deeply about why you would conflate the two, even if mistakenly. The fact that you created a new user name specifically for making this comment leads me to believe you probably knew what you were doing.

For the record -- from Wikipedia: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kareem_Abdul-Jabbar)

Abdul-Jabbar met Habiba Abdul-Jabbar (born Janice Brown) at a Lakers game during his senior year at UCLA.[235] They eventually married and together had three children: daughters Habiba and Sultana and son Kareem Jr., who played basketball at Western Kentucky after attending Valparaiso.[236][237] Abdul-Jabbar and Janice divorced in 1978. He has another son, Amir, with Cheryl Pistono. Another son, Adam, made an appearance on the TV sitcom Full House with him.[238]

An interesting technical application of ChatGPT ... for the badguys.

I think the first piece of feedback you would get would be that the numbers weren't formatted as currency.

This seems like a great way to make a boring, unfocused presentation. Not bad for generating filler, or a presentation that could be done poorly by a college freshman without any speaking experience. The slide comments are more opinionated, and better but the slides themselves are bland.

For example, I generated one for "Why use Hacker News": https://slidesgpt.com/l/X3sU

At one point I tried to switch to Spotify for my podcast consumption and quickly found it to be unusable as soon as I had to travel.

They simply are not interested in the podcast consumption features, like downloading the latest X episodes and having them easily available offline. I hope they can figure out that podcast episodes are not spoken word songs that go into playlists.

True, but valuations are based on future earnings potential. If the market looks down, then there is the idea that there is less revenue coming in the future, and the company has less capability to sustain a workforce.

It really is interest rates.

I love notion, it just rolled out something like that: https://www.notion.so/product/ai

I think the best comparison would be with Access, seems to be the all-in-one data tool that tried to be.

I thought BuiltWith is an amazing idea, something small and useful and scalable without needing teams for things like customer support, marketing, and sales. See https://builtwith.com

There is a recent interview with the sole proprietor that is more business focused https://5to9.beehiiv.com/p/builtwith-generates-14-million-ye... .

This was super informative for me and my search for something similar.

Good luck!

Hey, congrats on starting your journey. One thing that has really helped me was just walking and watching my very basic macros (Protein, Fat, Carbs). MyFitnessPal is great for that. Also, consider that you need to take care of yourself and activities that allow you to recover and be successful over the long term. The best thing I have found is walking.

I was inspired by Paul Revelia - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=paul+revelia+wa... - a body builder in his late 40's who does all his cardio with simple walking. I have lost about 25 pounds myself with just eating sanely and walking my dogs.

LOL. This is genius level trolling. This is every executive at every tech company.

Kinda boomerish but a great one nonetheless - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig .

I don't think that a purpose is particularly helpful for people. If you don't have one, then live your life as well as you can and you will see patterns emerge. Follow them, be yourself even when it is hard. Good luck!

I think the key thing in this article is talking about compliance.

“Customers can test that [the cloud workload] is performing as expected, that the dependencies check out and that they can meet their compliance/auditor needs before transitioning completely to the cloud environment,” Gupta said at the press event.

The reason banks don't move away from mainframes is that they can't get identical results from other technologies in a way that can be certified by an independent auditor.

Super interesting, dig the rotary encoder.

What a lovely article. Well written, well thought out, no simple conclusions and very engaging.

I love hearing that companies are being so stupid and shortsighted as to value people less on based on things other than productivity and economic output.

It makes it SO MUCH EASIER for me to hire great people because my organization has figured out how to work fully remotely.

Please, please, please corporate America continue the fight against the happiness and well-being of your talented and most valuable employees.
