I believe if this was true, we'd already be seeing vibed stuff succeeding everywhere, and pricing out incumbents, but I guess I'm not seeing this? Like at all?

Even if they have Astra or whatever completely to themselves, how do they deal with the -product- side? Or sales, or account management?

They've been focused on juicing model's coding capabilities, but it's absolutely -not- "gen ai" enough to be doing the whole thing in agents, even 3 or 5 years from now, if only because there's so much context we _can't_ give to these models, without reverse centauring ourselves with cameras and mics and oodles of compute everywhere, and so far that hasn't exactly been playing out the way the frontier labs and the singularity folk hoped it would (meta glasses? humane? really?)

I'll add my 2c, and say that even with a really fluid password manager flow, "signin with X" is usually a 1-click entry (possibly 2 for scope authorization), rather than a signup form + leaving the site to click through an email verification.

I'd much prefer 1password to do it's "you last signed in with github here" popup, than just have easy new passwords created.

They're a portfolio partner; there's some useful synergies there.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

in this tool (and others I've seen, maybe zulip does this), you can mark threads as "done", and mark messages as canonical.

with slack, it's easy to have a thread with 15 different answers which are all slightly different.

The "knowledge retention" features I'm looking for is being able to mark a thread as "this is the decision made", have that highlighted in metadata and archival, maybe be able to link off to a notion page, and have the thread closed to finalize the decision.

EDIT: the number of times I've had to kick people off a thread because they're adding bad info during a crisis reallllly drives my desire for marking canonical messages lol

I was very surprised these weren't piezo or turbine based, but rather harvesting voltage differences in the water droplets itself.

Could a piezo collect current like this, on a solar panel sized sheet? I'd imagine it's not an insignificant amount of power during a downpour.

but "Netflix and my bank actually work in Chrome" is Google's endgame.

For folks coming here later, you can figure out the order that you should view them in by reading into the `.fsproj` file, which will lay out compile units in order.

for those not in the know, look up Bluecifer - the statue literally murdered it's creator.

yeah! I used to work at that StorageTek location, before they sold to Sun and then Oracle.

Conoco bought the land like 10 years back and demolished the old offices for a "clean energy lab" IIRC , though that never happened and now Tape Drive (and Disk Drive, on the western side of the campus) just deadend into a large empty field.

The fact that those offices are gone feels like a weird message about tech, but i don't know what it is.
