Thanks for posting this! We made it almost unsure how it would feel to use, and it is surprisingly delightful.

A possible key to predicting our AI future is understanding what we currently value culturally.
Controversial take.
I've been reading and playing a lot with ChatGPT for coding and I had a thought about where all this leads that to me felt new and fresh.
It's a very simple idea that as soon as I had it, felt so obvious and certain.
Interesting to ask GPT-3 itself how it will influence fintech.
Credit Card vs BNPL market analysis.
Taking what Nathan Baschez is teaching in his class on Market Analysis and applying it to the BNPL market in fintech. This is week three.
A mentoring call with a Techstars company that was suffering from some typical bickering between sales and tech inspired me to write this, but the personal story inside it is my own, not theirs.
It says "eminently listenable" now. Nice catch.
Maybe you've heard the buzzwords everyone seems to be talking about when discussing the future of containers. Strange names like "microVMs"... "unikernels"... "sandboxes". Have you wondered what these things are and how you can use them? Or, for that matter, should you…
In part 2 we get more into the specifics of how we leveled-up our team at Kelsus.
In 2001 I went to India and hired a software team and I felt like a total pioneer. These days I'd say we still haven't hit peak international team, but there aren't many companies or people that don't have at least tangential experience with it. Chris and I tell our own stories and reveal our own happy surprises on taking this journey in this week's episode of Mobycast.
Mobycast recently did a breakdown of sizing and organizing microservies, dismantling monoliths, and micro front-ends. The microservices stuff I was mostly familiar with, but the micro front-ends episode was pretty new and interesting.
Shoulda called it d suite.
In phase 2 they can give people refundable tax credits to pay the tolls on a sliding scale based on age.
I wanted to read these comments to see whether HN readership was with or against this argument, and instead everyone just decides they have better ideas or different arguments.
For what it's worth, I think this would be a great first start. It's an easy MVP (thinking agile here) to get data and then decide what the next potentially more costly step might be.
I had to scroll pretty far down the page to get to comments that weren't about the escape and function keys and vim. It's the other stuff that really matters. In 2007 and 08 when Jobs was alive there was absolutely no question that MBPs were the absolute best laptops in the world. There were maybe a few huge gamer laptops with faster specs, but nothing had excellent specs in such a small and well build package. This is no longer the case.
If I were NVidia I'd be making a very big deal that not even the initial development of that cool new depth of field stuff on iPhone 7 could be done on any Apple computer.
Another major point is that this thread says apple is leaving developers behind. Sure it might only be leaving VR, gaming, and AI developers behind, but wait, where is the industry going?
More fuel for the fire. Apple proudly claims they have the biggest gaming platform in the world with iPhone. They just lucked into it. They never purposefully set out to make a gaming platform. But now that they have it they should own it. Imagine how thrilled the world would have been if Cook had stood on stage and said something like "and now for the first time ever because of this amazing new GPU, you can play your favorite games on your Macbook Pro on ultra at 60 frames per second." It would have blown the doors off Apple stock. Macbook Pro is about PRO users not about executives that need 13 hours of battery life to give Keynote presentations. People would have been completely happy with even a little increase in width and weight and decrease in battery life for the sake of a major performance upgrade in memory and GPU.
