Been using it for a while. Very good experience so far. Maybe even better than claude or replit

O1 is also starting to get "gamed".

Looks like there is need for 2 separate visa categories: - One to bring top 0.1% talent from across the globe to the US - Another to bring in temporary talent as needed

Current version of H1B had become a big basket to hold both, and abused too for just finding cheaper labor. It may be time to segment these out.

Also, given that US has ~400 million local citizens, there should be less need for either.

Replit was asking for my license to change email address. Jeez

If anyone from ArtificialAnalysis is here: The Intelligence card on the page seems to incorrect. It shows different data (#2 for Deepseek) than the actual Intelligence chart lower in the same page.

AI-buddies is now a year old idea and now many other harnesses like Hermes, OpenClaw have most of the same functionality.

Main concept of AI-buddies is to quickly spin up "buddies" who have varying personalities and feel like a real person. Just like real people buddies can talk to each other, share information and have very different functions in your life. For ex a Gym buddy is very different from a "mom" buddy or a Math prof buddy.

Main difference that they are easier to set up for non technical users, and that they can gather input from other real people (for example, if allowed, a Tax buddy can get input from your accountant).

Been a user of Screenpipe to build some "Ai-buddies" for me since last year. Core of that is giving AI a look at what is happening in time space. Without Screenpipe this was rather hard to do at the performance screenpipe gives.

Excellent usecase of map and history. Request to add a year range selector or slider

+1 to Empire Podcast. They have excellent series on a bunch of empires (well researched with references). Its one of those light, informative, non-boring podcasts: - The British Empire & The Raj - The Ottoman Empire - The Russian Empire - The United States as an Empire etc

Issue for any country that is not China. A single country getting the most AI tokens business would be generally bad for global economy. Hoping against hope that this business gets globally distributed and there is a healthy marketplace competition overall

We could see the first company vertically integrated from etching to chip to data center

Some of these don't seem like "YC scandals": - Zenefits: A non-YC company put a spy in Zenefits. - Pebble: Still loved by many, just had black swan event of Apple launching a better product - Cruise: Looks very much like a GM issue.

Could be camera and canvas to CAD - be more apt for your use case? Something akin to minority report + AI?

Asking seriously.

Context: Have some overlapping interest in the space because I am prototyping a camera based edge device that allows for AR/AI interactions.

A few things that have helped me in the past are: - Find small wins. Don't expect big changes immediately. Small wins accumulate over time. Examples: say hi to neighbors, go to a gym, work from a coffee shop etc. - Join a coworking space. This was a huge help personally. It still took more than a few months but this changed my life.

Hope these help a bit!
