I am a senior software engineer with 13 years of experience with javascript, 6 with typescript, and 5 with python and full stack development. I have worked in Biotech, life sciences, e-commerce, and SaaS. Currently, I am evaluating LLM output at Micro 1.

I am working on an productivity app that combines todo lists with pomodoro sessions, and productivity coaching. The android app is in private beta now, iOS is being developed now. https://keelcoaching.app/

Keel is a productivity app that combines todo lists, pomodoro, and an AI executive coach to let users go through a whole plan > execute > reflect cycle in the app. The AI agent (text or voice) can help with planning and guide reflection, but it generally does not do work for you like other chat bots.

The android app is in beta now and the iOS app is in development.

But more memory is available so a larger model can be loaded. It depends on the use case which is better. Any chat or voice model will have better UX with nvidia but document or code generation will be better with apple.

As much he might be correct about product development, in my experience, there are metrics that are early indicators of getting paid. Those metrics naturally become KPIs.

As an American, I can tell you mocking him just fuels his fire, both personally and his MAGA movement. You think you have helped by pointing out the absurdity, but you have only picked a side in his fake wrestling match. You are now part of the show, the ultimate audience participation circus act, where the only goal is to grow the audience and keep it going as long as possible.

I am working on an AI executive coaching app for mid career professionals to help manage professional, health, and personal goals. It uses text and voice agents to mimic the 1 on 1 sessions you would get from a career, health, or life coach. We are in private beta now. https://keelcoaching.app/

As much as rich people can do whatever they want if they hand over enough money, it seems like these people will not be rich for long if they fork over this much money for a single day experience.

I have been working on an AI harness for building desktop applications from SPEC.md files, along with some examples SPEC.md files I have tested, at https://specliotheque.com. The agent harness is available here: https://github.com/thecolorblue/bspec

I always come back to this quote:

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune

I have gotten into spec driven development. Plan everything ahead of time. Sometimes I have the LLM help out, sometimes I do it all myself. It can include data models, business logic, or UI design. Sometimes I draw on a whiteboard, or in a notebook, and ask the LLM to convert the drawing into text I can put into a SPEC.md file. The more time I spend planning, the longer the LLM can work autonomously, and the less time I spend debugging issues or asking it to fix things that I didn't ask for.

Some people put significant time into their blogs. It is not cheap to add value through writing.

You could either go down the 2d isometric map route (something like animal crossing) or something closer to google maps (maybe with mapbox studio?).

The current map feels more like a menu to me.

I love it! I signed up to be the groundskeeper.

I really want a 2d world so I can see everything going on in the game. Even a static map would help visualize what the game is about.

I honestly don't understand this statement. What else besides healthcare could fix that? Are you arguing that Mississippi obesity is due to genetics and cannot be changed?

The only other thing I can think of that would affect state wide obesity is food security and quality. Proper healthcare would be my first pick for fixing obesity.
