So only they can give direct legal and medical advice, which is still illegal in most countries. It's not a promoted service yet, but everyone is using it to ask such questions.

Those images look exactly like what you get from every OCR tool out there if you use the XY information.

Rendering fails after first start and trying to resize the window on Mac. Hardly release quality.

Because PDF is a minefield and PDFtk does not solve all problems on all platforms. You'll learn that if you try to process millions of PDFs in the wild that may or may not comply with any of the numerous specs.

There also seems to be a scam industry forming to take advantage of those quick moves plus remote work. If one such scam employee makes it to the first salary, it already more than paid for the few hours spent on interviews and communicating excuses why he doesn't get anything done. Also interviews and pretending to work can be spread out to specialists within a team.

Now do the math for multiple interviews per working day for someone who is decent in interviewing...

We had the same guy show up to scam interviews under different names twice! LOL

Awesome hardware and I will get one. But interesting that with the slight price increase there has been zero progress in performance per $ since 2 years. Shows how far ahead the M1 was.

You are asking the wrong questions. Care about your product and customers, not about founder beauty contests!
