    Correct. You can also share your location with friends. A lot of friend groups (at least my age) use Find My as a kind of social network.

    Guessing the shortcomings become starker if you’re spending lots of time in the codebase/building a company on top of it.

    I work at Cartesia, which operates a TTS API similar to Play [1]. I’d be willing to venture a guess and say that our TTS model, Sonic, is probably SoTA for on-device, but don't quo…

    (Not the author but I work in real-time voice.) WebSockets don't really translate to actual GPU load, since they spend a ton of time idling. So strictly speaking, you don't need a …

    As someone who's attended events run by Daily/Kwindla, I can guarantee that you’ll have fun and leave with your IP rights intact. :) (In fact, I don't even know that they're lookin…

    Once you start following people the noise mostly disappears. Think the initial feed is a way for users to bootstrap their follow list.

    Zed has copilot support. I’ve been using it, and it works pretty well.

    Ha, that turned out to be a pretty good prediction. Wonder what else can be gleaned from features in standard products.

    While OP could have worded their comment better, this is exactly the kind of thing that Swartz explicitly aligned himself against. [1] It would be incredibly surprising for Swartz …

    Agreed. I used Supabase for a fairly simple project and felt like I had to know a lot about Postgres to implement anything. If you’re building something yourself, I feel like Fireb…

    Fantastic game! Have you considered using the Bubble Tea [1] library? I recently used Bubble Tea to write a Flappy Bird-like game [2] and it was incredibly fun. It splits your app …

    The argument this article makes is invalid. You’re missing out on a 100X investment opportunity in any bubble. The question isn’t whether you can make money off it—of course you ca…
