Very clever packaging of a connector
>Why not frame things from the perspective of rewarding good performance?
This guy knows marketing. Agreed it would not have been as controversial
Imagine being an engineer on the Siri team, must be so demoralizing.
Never crossed my mind to self host my own music streaming server, great idea!

On the transponders off point, I imagine soon we will have enough satellites such that we can map every object on the surface of the earth (specially something as large as a boat).
Could even see it through clouds using radar.
Meh lines the pockets of Tim Cook. Hard pass.
I see a lot of surf cams online, are those usually custom hardware?
Interesting idea. I can build this and open source it. I imagine there is equivalent hardware over LTE already?
I am teaching myself how to build a robot quadruped (aka 'robot dog') from scratch, including an ML controller to make it move in animated ways.
I'm also documenting every step of the process and uploading it to YouTube, which means I am also teaching myself how to edit videos :)

This is an awesome reply, thank you so much for explaining this, and for the links!

I am looking for a similar experience to Magsafe connectors, but for anything that plugs to my wall outlets. I find constantly connecting and disconnecting devices that share outlets (in my bathroom alone I have an electric toothbrush, a hair blower, and an electric shaver) and I'd really wish it was as easy to disconnect and connect as my Macbook Air's Magsafe adapter.Now, I looked around and...
I just quit my job at a SaaS. What am I doing with my life... The SpaceX team just caught the biggest rocket in history with a giant arm, we all need to dream bigger!

Primarily asking because I'd like to hear different perspectives, perhaps I am missing something.Arguably, since OpenAI released the o1 models, LLMs are now 'smarter' than the average human when measured by IQ (I'm going by this study [0] which sets o1 at a 120 IQ).What I am trying to wrap my head around is why has this not changed our entire world much? Sure, if you live on Twitter, a lot of...
I find that this is the best advice for life, not just making your own games. Do what you're most excited to do :)
I think so? I'll check with the city of Redwood City / San Mateo county. Good call!
Just ordered one, wish there was one for microplastics too (and whichever other contaminants that I'm not aware of).
Is there any cheap way to test the quality of my water? I did some Googling around, looks like there are services that will do this for a fee but didn't look particularly affordable.
Is that a bad thing? They claim that incarcerated workers receive the same pay as their civilian colleagues. IMO seems like a positive.
Microsoft already has Github Copilot. I always thought OpenAI would eventually acquire them (they already hold a stake in them).
Never heard of these guys, do they even have a product?
Regardless, team looks promising. Former CTO of Github, supposedly the guy who incubated Copilot.

Genuine question, what would you use instead and why?

There are many good extensions with somewhat similar features, the ideal extension might come down to personal preference but I've been building double.bot [0] after spending months using Github Copilot and running into the same bugs over and over (wrote about it here [1]) and I think we've done a good job at building the ideal extension for professional developers.
[0] - https://double.bot/
[1] - https://docs.double.bot/copilot
Can I ask why? I personally have been coding with LLMs since the davinci-003 days and don't see myself going back.
Granted I am biased, I am the co-founder of Double which is an extension for VS Code. But that's also why I'm curious to hear why are you against extensions (maybe we can learn from your experience).
