Ah sorry, should’ve clarified, it doesn’t have tracking capability (kinda on purpose, semi-because hard to maintain battery/accuracy balance properly, for now). It syncs your old w…

It’s not as cool as most of the other projects, but I have a little app (Ato on AppStore - https://apps.apple.com/app/ato/id6757285141 ) for basically tracking all walks/bike rides…

We both know I didn't write it down with the hopes that I'll act on the at some point in the near future, and want to avoid my imaginary competitors. Even though, in reality, I wil…

A bit tangential, but I think we will see a good chunk of small teams building competing products in different software business segments, by just doubling on productivity and offe…

I’ve talked to hundreds of people at bars around the world, and although I don’t remember their names, I can recall general conversations with each of them. I can’t recall anything…

> But these businesses get it all wrong because they lack the communal kitchen and eating areas. The problem as I see, given a choice, people rather eat/do/listen/feel things that …

Doesn’t really matter when the percentage of childless adults is growing every year. I just scoff and move on.

You’re thinking about power and money, but also should consider culture exports. I’d say it’s a combination of being a friendly nation to the west, being different, actively promot…

Meh, I personally like it. It's a bit of liberating feeling to never, ever think about health insurance here in Vancouver. Obviously has ups and downs (especially for non elective …

I totally agree, but I’ve also worked on a project with 0 customers spending about $2M/year on AWS, and there was absolutely zero incentive from the stakeholders to reduce the cost…

Why make $1 when you can make $100?

We've had legal marijuana since 2018 up here in Canada, and from the statistics it looks like the market has almost caught up. The closest comparison I can think of is piracy and b…

If 5% of population (14M people) can afford an iPhone, it's already bigger than a lot of potential markets around the world. I'm sure they do a much more thorough analysis at Apple…

You can argue that, but there are legitimate "AI" workflows that have already been adapted in workplaces where things function well enough. I'm sure 99% of it is just slop, most co…

I definitely agree, but again, if you look at the app usage times across every single demographic, those type of use cases are such a minuscule portion that it's just some noise. I…

The problem is, vast majority of smartphone usage is done for entertainment and social networking purposes (IG, TikTok, Twitter, HN, gaming, Netflix and etc.). If you’re mostly scr…

Still not a problem for Meta/TikTok/YouTube though, as people go there to consume content on purpose. But I agree, will be fun to see how Google and others will deal with it.

They require completely different levels of viewing patterns and complexity. It’s such a reductionist take.

Like again, I get what you’re saying, and I agree with it. But my point was, once everyone can generate Pixar-quality movies, they will simply lose the appeal. Maybe it should be t…

The counter point is, if it makes it so easy to make it, it’s just… meh. We get used to things extremely fast. Even in traditional art. The Black Square was revolutionary in its sp…

Eh, different bubbles of people I think. My tech-loving friends (including me), aren't fan of AI art because how low effort everything is. Some funny memes, but even then you get u…

That's exactly what I thought! "Is that UofT?"

It’s a fairly calculated move, as they know market for engineers isn’t in the best shape, so a significant chunk will keep working with no complaints. They also ramped up hiring he…

Profitable? None. For fun? Well, I made a stupid app for myself (showing all routes I’ve walked through in my city, that gets data from HealthKit), got pressured by friends to shar…

I understand this is a hot-topic, and definitely an extremely nuanced issue, but as a person who knows people who took the MAID (Canadian euthanasia process) way out for a terminal…
