I'm not sure about your funding situation, but you could always try to get paid employment and switch to working on your business on the side.

Ultimately, the success is based on the strength of the execution and finding product market fit with a big enough market. If you're too burnt out, it sounds like you are hitting some internal limit.

If you have hope (and resources) push through. If you don't, step away, recover and reflect.

If you find yourself passionate about it later on, then you can go right back in!

Being able to construct a story of growth, entrepreneurship and risk is a great one to tell in your 20s and you shouldn't be ashamed.

Do you mean Termux? I can't find any other Terminal app with a similar name

I don't think this is saying that the ratings are unreliable, but rather that searching by rating isn't a guarantee that a high-rated restaurant will show up due to the other factors at play.

You don't get a sorted list from highest rated to lowest rated, but rather, momentum of reviews, number of reviews, changes in rating etc.

My suspicion is that there probably is also a noticeable difference between companies that advertise on Google vs. those that don't. Anecdotally, the gym closest to me has higher ratings than all the other gyms in my area, but when I moved to the area it never showed up on Google Maps for me. It was only by walking by it that I decided to look it up on Google Maps specifically by name that it showed up for me.

You could share a screen with the slides and have the notes visible to yourself. Also the notes mode has a dashed border around it.

This is just a simple demo but it's really cool how simple and easy it is in practice.

I have the same opinion, but my worry with this attitude is that it's going to hold me back in the long run.

A common thread in articles about developers using AI is that they're not impressed at first but then write more precise instructions and provide context in a more intuitive manner for the AI to read and that's the point at which they start to see results.

Would these principles not apply to regular developers as well? I suspect that most of my disappointment with these tools is that I haven't spend enough time learning how to use them correctly.

With Claude Code you can tell it what it did wrong. It's a bit hit-or-miss as to whether it will take your comments on board (or take them too literally) but I do think it's too powerful a tool to just ignore.

I don't want someone to just come and eat my cake because they've figured out how to make themselves productive with it.

You don't even need to consider an ally being a bad actor. When Ukraine was invaded, wheat prices (to name one) in Europe shot up. England in particular has fairly significant food security challenges.

I think the key difference is that they perform a search of the foods in Macrofactor's database which means that you're more likely to get a good estimate.

From someone who weighed and scanned a lot of foods, it has really improved the workflow

This mentality is why rail is always destined to fail in the US. That mentality didn't stop China, which has a comparable land area to the continental United States and allows it to benefit from highly efficient cargo operations all over the country.

But if you want to keep the France comparison, let's compare a journey from Paris to Marseille with a journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles:

Paris to Marseille: - by car: 7h30m (773km/480mi) - by train: 3h11m direct for 94 EUR/103 USD with luggage and WiFi, amongst others

San Francisco to Los Angeles: - by car: 6h (613km/381mi) - note that I'm checking the route times at 8:24 BST and so it's night time in the US - hence less traffic. - by train (and bus): 8h30m with a change for 61 EUR/67 USD

The SF to LA route covers less distance and requires a change, so the passenger would travel 6h by train and then a further 2h on a bus - and when you compare that to driving it doesn't make any sense to ever pick public transport.

I do think there's more to it than just Americans not liking rail travel or preferring their cars. To build significant passenger rail infrastructure requires coordination at state government levels with all the stakeholders; funding; purcahsing land; technology to build modern and efficient railways etc. I don't believe the US has the capability to just build rail anymore - it would require significant investment in skills and manufacturing to increase capability to the point where it will be able to build the type of modern railway they would need to actually be a viable alternative.

My interpretation was that adolescent refers to the maturity with respect to life experiences.

The set of life experiences that a bachelor can experience is smaller than the set of life experiences that a married man with children can experience.

I don't think this is a particularly offensive thing to say, but instead, given that she's from a group whose voice has been historically subdued, I think it's a witty reparatee to refer to that philosophy as "adolescent". I don't think she's calling bachelors adolescent, but for the word of a bachelor with most likely more limited life experience, I do think it's fair to call out that it perhaps isn't the most rounded point of view.
