Using this was like a peek into the future. And this kind of generative UI offers a lot more immediate practical utility than world model demos.

I agree with the headline, but find it ironic that there's no self-serve option

Tracking your form in real-time is counterproductive. Kinesthetic awareness is essential to compound exercises like squats and deadlifts, and there's no way you are focused enough on the movement if you're doing reps while also watching a selfie. However, a post-set analysis could be really useful and be a great IAP option or reason to pay for a subscription.

Get Founding Sales by Pete Kazanjy (https://www.foundingsales.com/). It's written by a tech founder for founders, and he also runs some popular events and forums for the startup community.

This seems like the most obvious, Googley reason why this exists

Pretty much all of these features can be done in Obsidian with plugins like [Dataview](https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/) or [Meld Calc](https://github.com/meld-cp/obsidian-calc)

I was looking at pricing. What is a "tracked user"? I'd be more inclined to pay for a certain number of survey responses. Typeform's model of scaling price with # of responses seems in line with 1Flow's value.

This feels like the kind of app created by people who don't have kids.

It’s interesting how some challengers (Snowflake, for example) use the Clouds’ go to market teams to power distribution and sales, so these platforms extend beyond just tech infrastructure.

I was Roam cult early on, but left the flock after frequent slowdowns and losing a bunch of files during one of their outages.

Obsidian is the best. I expect to use it forever, and even if it goes away, all the files are stored in plain text without any proprietary data formats or databases.

This doesn’t actually address Taleb’s main point about IQ. he argues that IQ does not measure intelligence – in fact, it’s a test of unintelligence.

That's what being a Warriors fan was like until 2013

Depends how far along you are. You can always hold off on incorporating until you have a term sheet or ready to get your docs signed.

Of your options: 1. If you end up taking legit money, you'll want regular counsel. Cooley is great.

2. Stripe Atlas is only $500 and takes a couple days. But as soon as you raise money, big law lawyers will update your agreements so you're back to step 1.

Also, remember. Most big law firms will offer you a fixed price for the initial incorporation and financing. Don't be afraid to ask.

Your analogy brings up an interesting point.

A better example is the actual case of Microsoft buying Facebook stock to gain exposure to a burgeoning digital network https://www.vox.com/2017/10/23/16412108/facebook-microsoft-2...

If that's the case, it's similar to owning any kind of asset, such as cash & equivalents, marketable securities, real estate, etc.

Hedge funds, private equity firms, and management consulting shops use expert networks a lot. They’re often looking at a potential investment, and seek to talk to people deeply familiar with the industry and competitive landscape. Usually a firm like Guidepoint will spam a group of people to facilitate an introduction. Top experts can name their price.

Just observing that every time this guy publishes a paper about crypto, there's a bull market.

I doubt it has the intended effect as SF tech companies are already moving to distributed locations. Workers have had the past 8 months to enjoy avoiding long commutes and stepping over needles and feces.

These kinds of posts always make me think of Jay-Z - "What you eat don't make me shit"

This is really awesome. It reminds me of how artists like painters and musicians train by copying famous works. Or Andrew Ng said you should learn ML just be implementing a dozen papers.

Google should merge this with Stadia so they can sunset them at the same time

Shifting from engineering to sales requires a shift in mindset, from scarcity to abundance. Engineering = scarcity: time-bounded sprints, finite teams, large backlogs of features and tickets, strict prioritization. Sales requires you to think in terms of abundance. There are always more leads, more channels, more tactics.

Also, it's debatable whether being talkative helps sales. Listening is far more critical.

Was about to post Pete's book too. Go read it!

Meta-comment: it's hilarious how every other comment is about how Google is going to kill this project.

Next time a VC asks you "what are you going to do if Google builds X too?" send them a link to this discussion!

Obsidian is awesome. I moved over from Roam and never looked back.
