    Everyone now have access to a tool that makes them nearly as powerful as only the most creative builders were before. But these new builders have a tool, they don’t suddenly have a…

    China is getting closer to tech independence by the day, I imagine they are happy to sell their tech to anyone who is willing. Not saying this is good or desirable from a European …

    This is from April last year. I haven’t seen this angle of the Greenland saga mentioned a lot recently. Is it a coincidence that Trump started to talk about Greenland again right a…

    Let me know how it goes! I'm not always very happy with how the cards turn out, will see what I can do with some LLM prompt tuning. Yeah, it's very barebones at the moment, if you …

    I’m sure the algorithm can play a huge role in the effectiveness of learning but for me the difficult part was always creating the cards and actually opening the app to practice. I…

    Your app looks cool! I've tried a few other apps doing something things, Clearspace is the one I'm using now. Will give yours a try! I'm in a similar situation as you (developer ha…
