That’s cool. After M-vave's FM1 and TE's OP-1 revolution, going this path is almost mandatory for anyone with good hardware but a crappy interface. I'd love to love Polyend's software, but M8 is so far ahead in terms of power and intuitiveness.

It is conceptually different. Skill was created over the context rot problem. You will pull the right skill from the deck after having a challenge and figuring out the best skill just by reading the title and description.

moltbook = reddit for agents rentahuman = taskrabbit for agents

by the way, is taskrabbit still a thing?

Usually, I'm not a big fan of Polyend products. They look cool, but they lack depth. Not the best tracker, not the best beatbox, etc. And also, I'm totally into Puredata and devices like Organelle, but the learning curve is steep. I get the idea of a vibe sound modeler. Not my alley, but that's interesting for a niche, I'd say.

for me, the idea of structuring and formatting texts keyboard-only was fundamental for my adoption of markdown. iA Writer as an app that pushed me in that direction. Markdown, iA Writer, and my Keychron are part of my routine.

The mystery of the Highland Crest is one of my favorite books ever! It gave me another perspective on the medium when I was younger

product UVP aside, woah! the page is sick!

They messed with Dia thing. Arc had a clear value proposition, a better browser for power users. I'd pay for that, mostly because the browser itself, but also because they had pretty straightforward approaches on their communication, how small things work, how bad features should be removed and so on...

I never understood Dia. ofc I downloaded Dia and tried using it a while, but never clicked on the agent bar. They told somewhere sometime that they were seeking a bigger user base. Dia definitely is not that place. A browser powered by AI definitely is nothing something beyond the geek/early adopter crew.

Things become worse when we think about how they handled this whole situation. Sometimes shady, sometimes with a lot of arrogance and always shunning off their loyal users.

We don't have the whole information, of course the team and maybe investors know better in details what happened, but definitely things weren't going well. The recent tweet from the design guy cheering up the side bar is almost a suffocated scream from the team imo.

From the company journey perspective that's a depressing way to have an exit. Wish them the best, but I'm deleting any traces of TBC from my computer.

I mean, almost every country could offer America a lesson about democracy nowadays.

That’s great. You gained a new customer. In the prompt's and Caves of Qud 1.0 era, I'd say ASCII art is a must, both in terms of UX and aesthetic in general.

Do you know what I like more than AI in my IDE (which I adore, by the way)? It's an IDE that respects the developer.

I laughed at the Keanu pun gonna try

When Apple introduced the whole skeuomorphic analogy, they did it because they needed to make a new way of interacting with touch-based apps feel tangible. That seemed totally fair.

When Apple brought a spatial analogy to the Vision Pro, it also felt fair they were thinking in terms of volume and dimensions, after all, they were teaching people how to interact with a new reality.

I can even understand Apple wanting to unify their design approaches, but bringing the “liquid glass” look to everything feels like a massive step backward. The interface looks messy, clunky.

It feels like Apple is entering a design hell, and I don’t know how they’ll get out of it.

What's going on with Figma? After the recent announcements and a shift towards a less professional audience, I feel the product is becoming increasingly bloated, confusing, and complex. This is quite the opposite of what made me switch from Sketch to Figma: a straightforward app with good collaboration features. Now, Figma offers too many options, has a confusing pricing structure, and an approach that slightly repels me. After canceling the Adobe deal, it seems they want to create the Figma Suite themselves to craft an appealing story for the IPO.

The issue is that nobody uses the Adobe Suite. At its core, it gives a poor and unfocused experience.

After that, I revisited the Sketch website to see how our old friends are positioning themselves these days. The message still resonates.

I mean, those wrappers etc.

A great piece of advice from Linear. Even in this flourishing AI landscape, every startup should avoid being overly speculative about resource mgmt. Linear raised from YC and Sequoia though. I'd love to learn more about how they balanced their burn rate

Hey pal, indeed, these anomalies occur mainly due to a lack of signals coming from the hiring market itself. Formation initiatives (and even people’s interests) always lag behind what the market is ready to absorb.

I've been talking to the entire market about skill management and I’ve noticed how flawed our methods for visualizing individual skillsets are. It’s impossible to consider upskilling and reskilling this way. When demand arises, the only possible solution is firing and hiring. This alignment will only occur when the demand provides a granular, specific, and clear indication of the skill gap.

According to the study, for those who are overqualified

Sorry for the delay. The problem is that ‘as broad and as deep’ works if we think in terms of a mass operation, but not for an individual. For an individual, these are competing strategies. I’m not advocating against a broad education, but at the same time, if the job market can’t truly see each person’s skillset, we’ll always have a mismatch.

> Skills mismatches call for greater alignment between education and the labour market

with about one-third of workers in OECD countries being overqualified or underqualified for their positions, the misalignment has economic and social implications, particularly for overqualified individuals.

The question here is how to align educational actions with market demands. Skills alignment is only possible at a very granular level, and mass initiatives fail to meet this need. Companies lack the tools to understand people on a very deep level. This is my current obsession.

This thing is huuuggee. For it to become something, it needs to be wearable at first. like Spectacles, it still feels like a prototype. For now, the G1 seems to have the correct form factor and features reduced to the essentials

Even though I don’t have real information, I feel that they focused so much on the power user that they must have a high level of stickiness. I don’t even believe they expected to scale beyond the ICP.

Reeder, since the beginning. Technically it's a wrapper and behind the scenes I'm using Feedly. The experience is great so far

The author apparently does not fully understand the concept of PMF. I mean, I understand that we don’t necessarily have discrete events, but the pursuit is very clear. The article starts off wrong when it says that Marc created the concept. Steve Blank talked about PMF a bit earlier in The Four Steps to the Epiphany.

maybe charging for some features like AI, or even creating features for teams

Jack Conte was very spot on in his SXSW talk this year https://youtu.be/5zUndMfMInc?si=2SqvZIyYi7QLKqmV

Almost out of the loop about Neuralink's tech. Is it EEG?

Is it EEG? or any other tech?

and what about the possession of an aircraft?
