@MarcusSchiesser That's how it's done! 👏

Software 3.0 needs AI functions: Functions that are using LLMs to generate structured outputs. To easily share and optimize the predictions of my AI functions with customers, I started to use Google Sheets - a tool that everyone can use. You can do that now too! Use my "AI Function Evaluator" to 1. Design AI functions 2. Test and evaluate them in Google Sheets 3. Integrate them into your code using @llama_index. Ready for software 3.0? Try it now: ai-function.vercel.app

So Zuck's now on the "Aut Zuck aut nihil" trip?

@OmniSyncServer getting sync errors today. "SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made" on Mac, "Integration Blocked/coordinators are opening a route" on iOS. How can I fix this?

.@dynatodd customer since 2002 with a support issue. pls dm

@rtenbrink1 @jefielding Yep. It's a Cambrian explosion out there, so all that matters is survival of the most adaptable. Corollary is it's NOT traction.

@jefielding Same boat. My view is deep subject matter expertise, technical knowledge and distribution will win + proprietary data to build a moat... but still hard to figure out.

I’ve been pitched 10 different AI agent companies just this week. All w/ super impressive teams and relevant experience. I have zero idea how to evaluate these opportunities? What an exciting and confusing time to be an investor!

@ger_tzedek @GrantSlatton Pretty sure Aeron chairs have the same 11/22mm connectors. Mine does.

the elites don't want you to know this, but you can trivially pop out the crappy plastic wheels of your office chair and replace them with insanely smooth-rolling skate wheels honestly probably the best < $20 home office upgrade there is

What?? Ukrainian soldiers get to loot Niederegger in Russia but we still don't have it here in California?? The orange ones are the best…😢 h/t @sumlenny x.com/sumlenny/statu…

@saranormous offered ok. like woodworking. but calling that "technical literacy" strikes me as hyperbole. it's just a bunch of things that let you build something that's actually quite low-level and limited. like woodworking. it's not general like financial literacy.

technical literacy should be a high school offering, the way shop class or home ec used to be. syllabus: - terminal, git, SQL - how to find/use oss packages and APIs - intuition for operating systems, file systems, networking, the web, databases - how to get debug/get help (AI!)

@HannoLustig @lugaricano that's a fantastic piece

The compliance mindset at Stanford. Staff/Faculty ratios have gone way up, but basic things like reimbursements for conference travel are not faster or more efficient. From @lugaricano 's piece on the compliance doom loop in the EU.

Yep. As crazy as it sounds

True!

@nooriefyi @dioscuri @fermatslibrary this is the only proper argument to be made in response to this thread. bravo.

@dioscuri @fermatslibrary bet theyd fail todays leetcode interviews

1:1 model and multiplayer. That’s how it’s done. Bravo!

Wow, didn't know Trump can read music

@ericabrescia don't cave! drop vague reference to belonging to the secret society that IS the a-team

Confession.

@Kazanjy What percentage of operating a public transit system is driver cost?

@tkunze Not in the US. Private car usage is astronomical in urban environments. And bus frequency and coverage is abysmal because of driver cost.

This is the end state of urban autonomous transit. It’s awesome and we should work to accelerate its arrival. 1. Autonomous trains run along rail lines. This is current state. 2. Autonomous 20 person mini-buses run at high frequency along all major and medium streets, dramatically expanding bus coverage and route frequency. “Trains on wheels that use streets” is another way to think about this. 3. Point to point autonomous cabs for other cases. 90% utilized and stored outside the city when not in use (night). The cost of travel (both fare, and wait times) dramatically declines. It dramatically raises the accessibility of transit for low income users who currently pay large time costs for public transit or large dollar costs for cabs, but can’t afford private cars and all their costs. Hundreds of thousands of private cars disappear from urban centers freeing up street parking space for other uses and garages for incremental apartment space (already happening). Staffing for mass transit becomes focused on quality of experience and security, raising safety and quality for all users. In short, mobility that is dramatically lower cost, higher quality, and higher safety than anything one can imagine now. This is the path we’re on. It’s just a question of who helps advance this future and who delays it.
