Assistant has far more context than other chatbots about where users get stuck. It infers what users are *actually* trying to do. Lmk what you think.

Al has collapsed the time it takes to ship a feature. Now it's all about shipping the right thing. It's just as hard as it ever was. As coding gets automated, agentic analytics becomes the bottleneck. Teams that win will build within context rich environments that capture user behavior and customer feedback, making that data accessible to both builders and agents. Today @Amplitude_HQ is launching our Al Analytics Platform with Agents and MCP. Autonomous analytics that helps builders and coding agents ship products that their customers actually want. Just as our partner @claudeai has reinvented software, Amplitude is reinventing analytics for the Al age. We have achieved 76% accuracy for complex production grade queries and agentic usage has grown 10x in 3 months. Don't just build fast, build what's right. Try it for free, today.

@kimmono @burkov Yeah just ballpark but 20 is pessimistic, ChatGPT probably takes closer to 10 sec average

@gusgordon @burkov Why do you think it takes 20 seconds for query?

There are only 2 possibilities: 1. GPT-4 is a 2T model and OpenAI uses an entire node of 8xH100 (that costs $400,000) to serve the inference just for you for $20/month. or 2. GPT-4 is a model that is 10 times smaller (it cannot be smaller than 200B) and OpenAI uses one H100 (that costs $50,000) to serve the inference just for you for $20/month. In either case, the numbers don't look good for OpenAI.

@asyapluggedin Thanks for noticing the colors haha, lmk if you have any other requests, trying to make it as good as possible

But anyway I really love the app and have found it so delightful and simple!! I really like the color coded calorie labels for each entry and the customizable top dashboard. I hope you crush it to the top of the App Store charts with Spelt 🫶

@gusgordon I’ve been loving your app lately! wanted to send in some screenshots of my experience logging a collagen tea, hopefully they’re helpful for the continued development :)

@asyapluggedin For the bottle, yeah that's tricky... how does it work if you take a photo of the front of the bottle? Barcode database isn't huge right now and it has some trouble reading nutrition labels — I have the best luck w/ front shots

@asyapluggedin Hey, thank you so much! Yeah 100% agree about the coach, tbh I could probably just leave it turned off by default. I'll release a new version in a couple days with an option to toggle it off :)

@Austen Try my app. I guarantee you will like it more than MFP :) Web demo: spe.lt App: apps.apple.com/th/app/spelt-a…

Today I learned MyFitnessPal has a web app that is about 100x easier to use than the mobile app

@destraynor @destraynor just added barcode scanning in the latest update

@gusgordon Nice work. QQ: will you / could you add barcode scanning? (I really love the work you put into product speed, *way* better than MFP)

Been working on this nutrition tracking app for a while - it’s finally on the App Store! 🎁 There are two ways to track with it: - Take a photo and it’ll use GPT-4V to estimate calories and nutrition. - Type what you ate, like “2 kiwis”, and it’ll do an instant search. IMO it’s a step change over existing calorie counters (I am slightly biased). Lmk what you think 🍓✨

@wuvvywednesday Try this one? apps.apple.com/th/app/spelt-a…

does anyone know any good nutrition tracker apps made with supporting/not triggering people with eating disorders

@TheEricAnderson I just made this one - sorta combines a tracker w/ ChatGPT apps.apple.com/th/app/spelt-a… lmk how it works if you try it

I’ve been trying all the macro / calorie / nutrition tracker tools and I still find using ChatGPT better. It’s not quite as precise but it’s so much easier to use.

@destraynor Thank you! Spent an inordinate amount of time shaving ms off the latency 😅 I can definitely add barcode scanning, thinking of building it into the existing camera feature. Lmk if you have other ideas

Download here: apps.apple.com/us/app/spelt-a…

@emmaluvsyoongi i just made this one! lmk what you think apps.apple.com/us/app/spelt-a…

@LSXYZ9 @MiddlecottIsMe There are other factors, but *competitive* player population is a fundamental contributor, especially in mature sports/esports. It’s not an excuse, as there are actionable things a region can do to increase the player base.

Why does Neeb Serral Reynor Clem Scarlett etc contend with Koreans despite vastly inferior conditions? Why did Stephano dominate Korean players for years at the height of WoL? Why did/does Pakistan overtake Korea/Japan in Tekken despite way smaller player base ? Why did China never take down korea in sc1 or wc3 at its height despite dwarfing them in playerbase? Playerbase argument is so ridiculous it's essentially akin to using winrate to say items or Champs are better and leaving it at that. Why does China not dominate every esport actually by a million miles?

We are so back

@adamwathan If you’re interested in trying a new nutrition tracking app, I just released apps.apple.com/us/app/spelt-s… today. Uses Tailwind 😊

🗓️ Day 1/30: 🍽️ 1750 calories 🧁 No sugar 🥩 100g protein (too low) ⚖️ 193.7 lb bodyweight 🏋🏻 Today's workout — 3 rounds w/20lb weight vest: McGill Big 3 x 10s per hold Goblet squat 24kg x 20 Chin-ups x 6 Push-ups x 10

Started working with an accountability coach for health and fitness stuff a couple of weeks ago and already 100% convinced it's going to change my life 💪 Highly recommend.

@garrytan I built spe.lt - let me know what you think!

What’s the state of the art for LLM and/or computer vision for meal and calorie tracking? What’s the most impressive demo you’ve seen? I assume there is already a very impressive paid mobile app.

@markgurman Battery life just scales linearly. Double the capacity, double the battery life. That's probably just a good form-factor for your pocket

I also wonder how Apple landed on 2 hours of battery life and this battery puck size. I wonder if there are diminishing returns at a certain amount of battery capacity - or if Apple will offer a double sized pack for more hours.
