Aren’t we already reaching the point where AI is using content generated by other AIs, like in a game of Chinese whispers? And through osmosis it's now reaching the writings of Nob…

I've been working with physics engine (cannon then rapier) + three js recently using Claude and found that AI was struggling quite when it came to fine tuning physics constants (fr…

I think this argument would work if hand-written code would convey some kind of status, like an expensive pair of Japanese selvage jeans. For now though, it doesn't seem to me that…

I like programming by hand too. Like many of us here, I've been doing this for decades. I'm still proud of the work I produced and the effort I put in. For me it's a highly rewardi…

Great job, congrats on the launch!

Do other platforms already provide something similar? While I've been picking up calls mostly in meeting / silent rooms (times of gathering around a jabra like a camping bonfire ar…

Once you learn, how do you maintain the language? I'm currently in Brazil speaking Portuguese a lot. I used to speak more Spanish. Right now, if I want to switch back to Spanish it…

Same here! I've been running my own digital products ( https://flat.social and some smaller ones) and bridging the gap with consulting. For me, the flexibility lead to a fully loca…

Is it worth getting a better desk? Better chair? Larger screen? On average sleep + work will take 2/3 of your day. Back problems are common and if not prevented early enough they r…

I'd translate "robotnik" as a "worker". A "person who is doing something" sounds a bit too general. Nevertheless, it's easy to guess that the root of the word is the same verb.

When asking Google - what the etymology of the "robot" word is, the answer is from Czech word "robota" which is they translate as "forced labor". While I don't speak Czech, I speak…

Or 450 hours of breathing with polluted air stuck in an outdated underground train system - https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/london-underground-pollution

Once you add those numbers, the total is usually insane. While I do miss being in the office sometimes (mostly for the social life), it's just too expensive for me as a worker righ…

I enjoy the companionship of ChatGPT when reading articles like this one to get through the jargon, `ELI5: ${articleAbstract}`.

Form the point of view of a maker / contributor it's common sense that the more tired you are, the worse your output will be. For me, there is a cut off point where the time spent …

I used to both smoke and extensively used pure Nicotine (gums, sprays etc.) In my opinion, majority of the people who are stopping Nicotine (not just smoking) approach it as an inc…

Location: UK / EU in 2023. Remote: Full-remote but more than happy to travel occasionally. My location is very flexible. Portfolio: Most recently I built https://flat.social from s…

Unfortunately, not always. I had once my account frozen by one of the UK's largest banks for days. The reason? Apparently they didn't have my mobile phone number. They never asked …

I don't think that Uber through SMS would be strong enough to compete with taxi services. One of the core features that made me use Uber was the map - I could see where the driver …

I built https://flat.social that has whiteboarding functionalities (among others). Not as advanced as Miro or FigJam but useful for quick diagrams during meetings / brainstorming.

> People expect few bugs, good UI and UX. There is a LOT of upfront work. You might have a VC-funded product that has 0 bugs, perfect UI and UX and still nobody is using it. I've s…

While I do agree, I think that this might be too general to be correct in every case. I do wonder however if the COVID lockdowns and WFH made the remote work market worse. The amou…

Didn't Google invest into Anthropic too? Just found this - https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/3/23584540/google-anthropic-...
