I have to disagree, costco often has custom worse versions of better products, we recently had a costco air conditioner fail just to find out it wasn't built quite as robustly as the $50 more expensive midea sold elsewhere with an almost identical model number. Similarly had my costco GE washing machine fail last year right out of warranty. There's a real quality problem going on with costco right now.

Seems like this could be a great product for law enforcement no? Verifiable pictures of evidence.

I wouldn't mind so much if they cheat on the way back but listen in earnest. There are use cases like teaching language where having the AI understand the sounds carefully matters a ton.

A potential sales tip: Going down the list of the $10 plan the first thing I saw was the 300 scripts limit and thought "no way". Pay attention to how supabase does it, basically no limits except compute and storage.

Seems like very cool tech.
I think the adoption hurdle will be hard unless you have a free plan that can be used for small things indefinitely. Having a hard cap on events would make me pass on this for fun side projects, which is where I would pivot later from to work projects. Just throwing that out there. This is why my last work project was supabase, I was using their free tier for some fun personal stuff.
If you have another vector for adoption that's fine too.

It means to change representation to less bits per number floating point, lower resolution numbers

Great book, I highly recommend it too.

The flaw in this reasoning is AI can also help you understand code much more quickly than we could before. We are now in fractional bus factor territory.

Crisis management is a big part of the job, and the more people you have the higher the chance there is a crisis at any given point in time. Around 100 devs there's usually at least 1-2 things going on at any given time.

I feel like the whole distributing webasm binaries thing is tough to swallow. I get the argument, but surely there's a better way, like maybe you could make a tiny interpreter in webasm and distribute that with a human readable script.
