Valid points, but only if you're precious about the "writer" title 🎓. I see it differently. AI opens doors for people like me: non-native speakers, people with ideas but not the writing chops to express them well. I don't care about being called a writer or publishing prestigious books. I care about forming ideas and getting them out into the world, whether that's a long tweet, a blog, or a newsletter. If AI helps more people share what's in their heads, I'm all for it.

@aidevpreneur Wow didn’t know Claude can do that already

it's an 🤯 moment for me to watch Claude Chrome Extension trying to operate on my wordpress page editor to build a page based on a HTML file I provided. It actually understands how the editor works and use screenshots to navigate, It's painfully slow but OMG

@LuvLetter_moe 认同，国内还有类似杭州这种很多公交车见到行人会主动停下来让行的（非红绿灯路口）…我后面才感觉这种不确定不可100%预测的行为反而更加危险，特别是隔壁车道小机动车没有跟上公交车动作的话…

‍弹幕里很多人对路口的认知就是必须有红绿灯, 然而国外很多城市都是主道直接过, 辅道必须停车观察再过, 或者是全都需要 stop/tomare(比如很多居民区), 然而以国内司机的驾驶素质, 哪怕是村口入乡镇道路这种交规上必停的, 好多司机都是看都不看直接过, 城市里一堆低素质司机先进半个头, 量主道上的车不敢撞他再过

@Molson_Hart Chinese living in Australia here, it’s not as bad as the US but the general multiple appointments across days and weeks flow is just so alien and unbelievable to me. That’s why every time I go back to China visiting family or friends, I will do a lot of hospital visits lol

My latest American healthcare experience 1. Get a cheap blood test in Taiwan, which says I have a cancer marker 5.0 on a 4.7 scale 2. 4 months later get same test in USA. 4.7 on a 3.8 scale. USA has different “acceptable ranges” (perhaps because it’s a for profit system or different populations). I get this test at a private lab because it’s impossible to ask a general doctor to order a specific test (they resist or force you to go to specialist first). 3. I don’t want to have cancer. I have digestive issues, which the internet tells me can also cause high CEA. I book an appointment with a general practitioner. Otherwise I cannot see a gastroenterologist. It takes 1 month to get the doctor who is least in demand. 4. She sees me, orders a poop test which comes back negative and then tells me to see a specialist who “people say they like”. 5. Takes 45 days to get an appointment with that person (if I have cancer shouldn’t I be dead by now?). The office is extremely commercial. Advertisements for pharmaceuticals play in the poorly ventilated waiting room which is packed with old white people. You get into the office where you see the doctor and a giant tablet stares you in the face showing more advertisements. 6. Doctor (who arrives ~45 minutes after when I’m meant to be at office) says, contrary to what internet says, CEA is for cancer not digestive issues and you need colonoscopy. He tries to sell me on medication for the digestive issues but has never heard of the sugar that I can’t digest, “fructan”. He repeatedly corrects me that it’s fructose. I get ~10 minutes with him. He orders a colonoscopy, a fructose intolerance test, and another test for CEA. 7. This visit was $375, not covered by insurance. I ask for colonoscopy cost from a morbidly obese woman who looks like she is about to die (how do you work at a doctors office?) who tells me that I must (like 3x) sign the colonoscopy cost estimate of $1171, which is non-negotiable. If I want to know the cost of anesthesia, medication, and facility fee, I will need to contact all 3 of these providers separately. Nothing will be covered by my insurance. 8. I get home and remember I can check some of this doctor’s relationship with pharmaceutical companies. Highest I have ever seen in a doctor I have seen. Not only does this guy have lunch with multiple pharma reps regularly, he also seems to own stock! To check your doctor go to openpaymentsdata.cms.gov Anyways, I doubt I have colon cancer and I very much want a second opinion before I do all this stuff, but to do that I would be surprised if I need to wait for another general practitioner appointment and then for a new gastroenterologist, which is more time and more money. The whole system is broken and I trust my own internet research than most (but not all) doctors. Not sure what I should do, meanwhile my wife is up my ass trying to get me to get a colonoscopy 😂 🤦‍♂️ If you want to see the medical system of Taiwan see next tweet.

@mbleigh So it’s just a wrap for Cloud SQL? I would like to see a serverless database solution that we don’t need to worry about the scale up the instance size and storage

@LuvLetter_moe 求推荐些竞品

Downie 这个事情虽然可能只是口头威胁, 但也说明但凡软件脱离了 MAS 体系的强制沙盒(如非需要, 否则不开访问用户目录权限)+审核+分发体系, 那重演十几年前 Windows 各种奇葩反盗版方式只是时间问题. 当然问题也挺抽象的, 明明 MAS 目前不管买断还是订阅, 一方面机制成熟, 用户体验好(不需要频繁输入信用卡/SSN, 一次设置长期可用), 有曝光流量, 另外一方面小厂有分成减免, 实际到手可能比自建体系+被支付网关扣一手还要多. 从客观原因上看, downie 的话, 涉及到 YouTube 下载有一些法律问题可能影响上架, Surge for Mac 的 tun 模式需要管理员权限, 不是 NE 那样官方提供的框架 所以我感觉, 这类非 MAS 渠道的小厂闭源商业产品还是能不用就不用, 特别是经常犯病的那几个开发者, 怕不是哪天就变犯罪了. 最后再评价下刘亚晨, Surge iOS 当初搞激活数量限制虽然不是太绝, 但按照我现在经手的 iOS 设备数量看, 碰到上限是必然的(只是早就不用了); 而 Mac 版虽然有 tun 这个设计导致不上 MAS, 但问题是开着比竞品高一个数量级的价格, 单版本生命周期提供的功能完善度落后于竞品, 而那些相对必须的功能居然靠着大版本升级来提供, 虽然有所谓的升级优惠, 但问题那个升级优惠的价格仍然成倍于竞品. 最后软件的体验, 当用户依赖竞品软件功能的时候, UI 打磨再漂亮也没啥卵用. 当然Surge的销量/下载量只有竞品/类似解决方案的低两个数量级水平, 但为了赚这个钱挖空心思设计 licensing(还搞什么反激活, 致敬行业流氓 Adobe)/pricing 而不好好完善功能, 那就该被骂.

@levelsio Give flutterflow.io a try

Lex Fridman’s chat with Ilya Sutskever 3 years ago, really good episode to help understand his views and vision on AI podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/lex…

ChatGPT really can generate audio file, you do just really need to be firm about your demand

@Apple really need to catch up with this

Quite an inspiring ep about digital writing. Two leanrings: 1) writing is just another form startup: creating the right content that users want 2) start small, and your readers will tell you what they want (applies to startup as well) podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the…

I think Langchain is a great starting point for getting into LLM app dev. Its comprehensive docs cover the core components of the dev pipeline and offer integrations with popular frameworks, which really helps you quickly grasp the ecosystem. langchain.com #AI #LLM

Just realized that you can do text embedding directly within your browser 🤯 This allows web apps to fetch and analyze text from smaller documents in real-time, right in the browser—eliminating the need for external vector databases. 🌐🔍 developers.google.com/mediapipe/solu…

I can really use a robot that can clean bathroom all by themselves (and self cleaning and charging)

@mbleigh atm the blocking function can only handle after sign in event, which is not useful when we want to implement a account lockout after certain failed attempt, and implement a sign in workflow ourselves means we throw all the convenience of firebase authentication out of the window.

We build Firebase to run production apps at scale, but we often hear concerns that it's "only good for prototypes." *I* know that's not the case, but if you've ever felt that way, can you reply with why? What can we do to make you more confident running Firebase in prod?

untitledui.com just like reading source code of good project is one of the best ways to improve your programming skill, I think reading good Figma UI Kit source files has the same effect.

My advice on tech talents' resume: focus on the tech skill keywords, the more specific the better, and highlight those keywords in your project lists. People don't usually read into projects' details unless there's keyword matching.
