In my experience, knowing you have glaring UX problems, or that product does not have an easy intuitive user flow is rarely the bottleneck for developing new & useful user facing A…

There’s no point comparing apples to deep fried oreos for caloric density. The 919 Evo is a fully de-restricted prototype based off a legendary homologated race car, not remotely i…

Looks nice. For a true whiteboard experience, I think the 'Draw' tool should probably be the default rather than 'Select'. I was clicking around at first and couldn’t figure out wh…

The San Francisco marathon is this weekend and I think it’s going to break the city for this Robotaxi launch. There's major road closures for key arteries like Market st, Embarcade…

Actually this sounds great. I got way more out of codecademy’s in-browser, interactive challenges than I did in my middle & high-school classes programming classes. The "learn by d…

I used to have plenty of energy running 40-50miles per week, but when I ramped up to 80mpw I started nodding off in my chair by 1 PM. Then despite the higher mileage and more inten…

I've been testing 4o's ability to analyze conversations by uploading screenshots to the mobile app. When I ask: "What's the tone of this conversation?" I consistently get this resp…

Curious how you landed on the idea to partner with local GCP/Azure reps. That’s a smart move, I didn’t realize they’d be open to helping. Did you pitch it as a way to help them clo…

FWIW I built a streamlit app to extrapolate tribal knowledge in excel trackers into markdown wikis for vector database ingestion. Instead of uploading raw tables, it maps sheet hea…

This is fascinating. Could the same machine (PRAD) be adapted to zap mosquitoes in flight and help control disease vectors? Nothing’s worse than waking up to multiple mosquito bite…

The current title “How aging stem cells fuel visceral fat gain in middle age” suggests that existing stem cells simply ramp up fat production as they age. Single-cell RNA sequencin…

First off, that sounds incredibly frustrating. I’ve seen this archetype before—a business person with just enough technical knowledge to chime in on complex product decisions, but …

TaskVenture turns everyday tasks into bite-sized, gamified quests. As someone who gets easily distracted, I always found “just break tasks into smaller chunks” easier said than don…

Yes, the customer is returning, but that’s completely normal in the bespoke tailoring process—it’s not new business. The process of getting a completely bespoke suit there's usuall…

I love my garmin, it just feels like the perfect fit for me. I have zero interest in the Apple Watch, mainly because I don’t want yet another device bombarding me with notification…

Curious—what useful things are you looking to work on right now? I'd love to learn more and help out. In my opinion, this AI development stalemate is more layered. Big companies se…

Have you looked into agentic chrome extensions like MultiOn? They use a similar class of AI model, but work on top of existing open browser tabs.

Could you explain more on how to do this? e.g if I am using the Claude API in my service, how would you suggest I go about setting up and controlling my own inference endpoint?
