I don’t think we can ignore this. Calling him "senile old men" and pushing for 70-hour work weeks says everything about the mindset. When you've run a people sweatshop model for years, of course, you want more "billable" hours.

He seriously needs to step out of his echo chamber and get real advisors and a far better PR team. Even Instagram dog accounts manage their public image better.

We are trying to get some help on this issue. https://github.com/react-native-webrtc/react-native-callkeep...

Gist: The issue is related to using RNCallKeep library in a React Native app on Android. When a call is initiated while the app is in the background or closed state, the RNCallKeep UI is invoked, but the desired behavior is to open the app's screen and handle the call through the app. The RNCallKeep.backToForeground() function is used to achieve this, but it causes the audio to stop working properly when using Agora to connect VOIP calls. This issue does not occur when handling calls manually and is only happening on Android, not on iOS devices.

I am mainly using ChatGPT to inform my google search options.

So instead of searching on google "what data stores to use for saving embeddings" . I ask ChatGPT "What are recommended datastores for saving embeddings". The second pre query gives me sense of better starting point, that to start with a generic query.

While asking questions to which I get vague response or non responses. I usually ask it to behave as if it's it's decision.

For instance, If you ask what is the best way to do X and it provides 2/3 ways in a generic way. It's some times productive to ask the same prompt to which open it would choose if it was him choosing the solution.

This has worked for me fairly well.

Yeah, Having built a web application serving 100K+ users in Go. First 2/3 weeks were spent on making sure we were a framework. So new Modules could be added. New external calls were abstracted and also dealt with lot of circular dependency.

This was all fun and learning, but wouldn't mind having a "Flask" or "Express" version of a Golang framework which took care of all the boilerplate out of the box.

We did try some existing solution to no avail like Tiny etc.

But ended up building a non-framework framework anyways especially to support new features/modules and new devs coming it.

I think being CEO for X number of places is more of a directions setting and "visionary" thinking if you have a strong execution layer beneath you.

Twitter just seems to be getting some attention as a recent project and will be hands-on till the actual doers are in the right places.

If you are not tasked with raising capital and hiring people, I am guessing you can be CEO in many more places. :)

We do pay for most of the useful things online (Editor/GitHub/Aws/Apps/ etc). Ad-supported platforms, in my opinion, don't get to have a say. As someone pointed out I don't lose personally if frivolous apps start asking for money. And again this may be just me but ig, Twitter, FB etc don't add any value to work either way.

This or similar phones from MS, won't change anything. People will still go for android with a similar price range and more screen size. We got two such phones for our office to use on travel sometime back, but they just lie there with no takers. People still use their regular phones with the power backup on the go.

Now Microsoft seems to be finally getting wiser, Yammer is a good purchase for Microsoft. Specially if they can integrate it with Sharepoint and Office Suite. This can turn out very cool product from MS in long time, now I can only wish they down't screw up with a good product.

This article references Bangalore & Chennai for the most parts. Both the cities have higher majority of educated people is higher and large influx of "MNC Incomes". Cliche as it may be the "real" India is still in villages.

You can't make statement like "India Became America " based on 5-10 cities in India.

As majority of India doesn't have

- Basic Education

- Basic Health services

- Electricity

- Minimal Infrastructure to grow (including Road, Housing)

If I get a negative remark, I usually take a step back, kind of like a out of body view, and see if there is any validity, if there is truth in the remark, I thank the person and ask questions; else I just smile.

Some people mistake a smile for agreement and I use smile to put a full stop to the argument. In my limited experience I have seen there is no point winning a pointless argument :)
