    This is exactly the issue I’m facing especially when working with AI-generated codebases. Coding is significantly faster but my understanding of the system takes a lot longer becau…

    There could be many factors at play here so it’s not clear what the main issue is. However, from experience, US VC funds typically come from other US institutions and so it’s an ea…

    What’s missing from the writer’s analysis is also the desire from the population to create such businesses. Having lived in Asia for a bit, most of these small businesses are not w…

    Have you tried using non-LLM based methods? Like starting with something rules-based and working through a layered multi-model setup? That’s what we’ve been using for document extr…

    Gemini has some support for Google Sheets built-in. It's under Labs now but worth a comparison: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/14218565?hl=en

    Yes - 100%. That's why I have a Slack where I invite friends and other people hacking away. Planning on setting up more remote social stuff to beat the 'loneliness' factor. Happy t…

    This is really cool and I can see a ton of opportunities to leverage this in the enterprise. Using the scanner, does it scan what's on the marketplace as opposed to what's already …
