@0xrafal @itsolelehmann how to move there? what are the ways to move? like from cyprus to there? with partner? wanted to know from some real experiences, thanks

@itsolelehmann Check Warsaw, sir. It should cover most of the things you missed in Cyprus.

i've lived in cyprus for the last 5 years here's my (more nuanced) view of pros and cons: the pros: 1. people are insanely friendly. people genuinely talk to you in cafes and everyone is SUPER sweet to our baby 2. tax status is the best option in europe, both in terms of tax rate and flexibility (you only need to be there 60days/year) 3. weather is elite from april - june and september - december 4. there are few distractions, it's a great place to lock in, work out and work (but more in the cons section..) 5. living costs are decent (though been rising A LOT). 6. growing expat community (mainly germans in paphos, more russians in limassol) 7. slowly growing availability of organic food sources (still in its infancy tohugh) 8. pro business mindset (compared to other european countries, not to US lol) 9. I love the sea in cyprus (great colour and very clear!) , and they also have mountains too hike in troodos mountains 10. easy and fast to get any doctors appointment (and cheap!) 11. very safe, I would always leave my backpack with my car keys out in the open while swimming etc. low crime rate is awesome. 12. everyone speaks english! and very well. now let's get to the cons: 1. it's very hard to maintain friendships with the expats because MANY of them will be traveling outside of cyprus for 70% of the year. I personally want a place where most peopel stay permanently, not only a couple of months. It's ok if your 24 and nomading (which im not). 2. the sun is extreme in juli, august. especially with a small child thats kinda fucked and hard to navigate (UV index 12...) 3. it often still feels like 2018. in a good AND a bad way. there's not much to do compared to other places where I lived before. 4. you need a car (despite what people been telling you on X). sidewalks are often times fucked up, especially if you are pushing a stroller around 5. culture, music, art scene is extremely small. I love these things so it does matter to me. 6. there is no real big city in cyprus. something i'm genuinely missing 7. there's close to 0 significant companies here, no good events, tech ecosystem is very very small (despite what people try to tell you on here). on a world scale, cyprus doesn't matter at all 8. a lot of "entrepreneurs" coming here are coaches or actually employed to someone. I have met 10x more interesting entrepreneurs in big european cities in a days vs in 6 months in cyprus. there are some but it's far from a "tech hub". might be skill issue on my end lol 9. there's a lot of dodgy shit going on with casinos, russian money in cyprus. but I guess that happens in many countries 10. its an island, so everything needs to get imported. many shops don't ship to cyprus. there is no amazon (only if you order from a different country + pay the shipping 11. cyprus is very far away from the pulse of culture, it mostly feels like every trend is happening 5 years later here 12. lots of mold in almost EVERY house. cheap build quality and a lot of cookie cutter ugly investment properties 13. very close to the wars in the middle east 14. there no great architecture in any city my tldr: we're looking at other options in europe right now, but we might stay here and just move to limassol but a kind of house I want is probably 6-9k/month so it's expensive af there (over 2x-3x from paphos) personally, I mainly miss the vibe and drive of a more metropolitan city but that's just me! the main factor I don't like is how so many people only stay a couple of months in cyprus, making it hard to compound and friendships but people like @marclou moving here def make me want to stay more :D

hey @vercel , this "step-3.5-flash" is very good, can you guys bring this one? thanks

@_lhermann @uptimerobot yo @grok , help our guy,

I've been with @uptimerobot for years and always recommended them. But now they are force-upgrading me to a $348/y plan. Super unfriendly towards legacy customers. Anyone know a bootstrapped-friendly alternative?

@elonmusk bro, make super grok for worth it , specially fr premium+ users and right now just basic models , even no deep research? i love that deep research on grok,

@FireworksAI_HQ @cursor_ai need public api?

We’re seeing lots of interest in how Cursor delivered Composer 2. One less obvious insight: you don't need to spend billions on a giant cluster to do reinforcement learning. With disaggregated sampling, we ran @Cursor_ai Composer 2 training across 3-4 clusters worldwide, with a unified capacity of Fireworks Virtual Cloud. Check how we optimize cross-region 1TB+ model updates by 98%+ while keeping staleness under a few minutes: fireworks.ai/blog/frontier-…

There is VoiceInk and there is Handy. Is there more? What's your favorite Open Source dictation app and why?

@ryancarson @corazoncap @saramfoster @efosta @HamelHusain @shl lets gooooo

@haydenbleasel @OpenAI congrats broooo

I've joined @OpenAI as a Member of Technical Staff. AI will shape the future of humanity in profound ways. I believe those of us who can help build it have a responsibility to help steer it in a direction that benefits everyone, for all humankind. The future is bright, but it takes hard work and care to make it that way. Very excited to play my part.

so to raise fund, always need to be in person? ;(

@benln in cyprus when?

Cafe Cursor in Zurich

@robj3d3 aye mate, i am in cyprus too,

I just moved to Cyprus 🇨🇾 My first impressions and why I moved: > it's safe (unlike rest of Europe) > friendly people (unlike rest of Europe) > quiet > clean air > fast WiFi > tax friendly > great coffee > amazing food > very walkable > incredible weather > affordable (€2 for coffee, €7 for meal) > great laptop cafe culture (unlike rest of Europe) > growing tech scene (unlike rest of Europe) It's been so long since I had somewhere I could lock in from and call home. I was torn between UAE and Cyprus but the last month made my decision for me. And so far I am so happy with my decision.

oh @mercury , what u have done to asian founders :'(
