Anyone know how you would use this _within_ playwright to write playwright tests in natural language?
Re:Has the Decline of Knowledge Work Begun?

Exactly, In my local pharmacy in NYC there is no attendant specifically for the self-checkouts, it's usually someone floating around or the same person doing manual checkout. In Japan the person is very present, willing to help, and says thank you very much, which also prompts me to say thank you in return.

I haven’t tried a course yet but Ivan, the creator, is great. IIRC codesandbox also uses firecracker and has a few blogposts on its setup

In Japan right now and I see a ton of automation everywhere, self checkout at grocery stores and restaurants, but what you also see is a live humanbeing assigned to the machines to help you if you have issues.

AI is used to compare incoming plaid transactions with preset recurring transactions: https://github.com/porkybank/porkybank/blob/main/lib/porkyba...
Matched transactions are ignored so as not to alter your daily budget.

As the hearing brother of a deaf sister with hearing parents, what I usually tell people is to learn sign language and get the cochlear. Forcing only cochlear on the child means that the family does not live in the deaf world with their child, while only speaking SL might distance them and cause them to miss out on a lot in the hearing world.
It reminds me of basque spain, where everyone speaks catalan and some people continue to speak euskera at home or with friends they know can speak.

YC requires anyone with 10% or more equity to be a founder. No way this uncle should getting that for an idea.

Broker fees are the biggest scam. I’m surprised that StreetEasy or another player like compass hasn’t been able to disrupt on this more. As a renter you basically do all the work to find an apartment and then shell out thousands to a broker who… lets you into the apartment for 5 minutes to see it
Re:I worry our Copilot is leaving some passengers behind

Is it just me or has copilot gotten progressively worse lately? It used to feel like it was making well informed guesses, now they feel like literal guesses with no context at all. For example in my phoenix live view (elixir) app it guesses “xxx@xxxxx” for _any_ attribute I pass in to a component.

Yes, she does! She checks it everyday and she loves the simplicity of it.
I also tried the spreadsheet approach since I was so frustrated with budgeting apps, but they're a bit overwhelming for some.

Thanks for the feedback, it's like a forecasting feature. Say you want to spend over budget today, you can see how that changes your daily budget 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, etc. out from today. Or let's say you plan on being frugal for the next few days and will spend only $20.00 over the next 3 days, by the 4th day your daily budget will adjust accordingly: https://imgur.com/a/hD9R2zv

After reading the comments in this thread I may consider open sourcing my side project porkybank.io. You can check out an example here: https://porkybank.io/example/overview
It's a simple daily budgeting app I put together for my wife and I to help us be more cognizant of our daily spending. Upvotes count as interest.

I don’t think this is true at all. I did YC and neither I nor my cofounders had any hype surrounding us or our idea. Unless if by hype you mean a handful of paying users then sure, that won’t hurt :)
