Serves you right for using VC-funded accounting software, maybe.
These VC-funded mfs charged me $5,000 for bookkeeping, made me categorize all my transactions, shutdown the business with zero notice 3 days before the end of the year, kept all the money, and told me to go fuck myself.

Best part about playing a mobile game is getting to play 3 other games you never wanted to play.

Imagine carrying around a brick because you're deeply embedded in the Apple ecosystem.
@GergelyOrosz I travel with an appleTV for that reason. It can access YouTube and has other utilities. Highly recommend!.

What trying to build an AI company in Europe does to you.
I think there will need to be some major shakeup in the EU in the coming years. It's bound to happen and AI makes it all more urgent.

Thanks for the invite, @_ashish_tiwari ! It was great to share my thoughts with the community and engage with the attendees in person.
Amazing Saturday at @elastic RAG Meetup मुंबई. Lot of good feedbacks and discussions around RAG, Embeddings and Agents. Beautifully explained Vector Visualizations by @dhruv___anand, Agentic RAG by @SabirSopariwala and RAG with Elastic playground from my end.

I want to know how many design docs were written by various Google engineers in order to eventually let this through to the public. Btw this is probably not the commenter's fault, just organisational dysfunction.

Hilarious that Elmo Twitter shows an illegal ad, and also shows a fact check about it, but the 2nd part is only shown to a percentage of the ad's viewers

So many military metaphors, in the service of building. B2B SaaS.
For a long time I figured that as tech grew up and impacted more and more people, we would have to learn to become the establishment. Pirates becoming the navy and all that. I am now realizing that the right way was to make the Navy more like us. Get back to building at the.

If I were a VC who got this deal, I would simply not show my face ever again.

Who wrote the code for zoom controls on sites like @youtube?. You zoom in, the video becomes smaller. You zoom out, video gets bigger. Mind-boggling design.

If Spotify, Netflix and 10 other content providing non-social platforms went down tomorrow, it'd take the open internet perhaps 6 days to 6 months to rebuild it all on open components without big corps hoovering in all the margins.
This. All of MANGA/FAANG services exist and run on centralization as a core tenet, but they're enabled by an inherently decentralized infrastructure built by academics and military in the ~80s, @deedydas.

The fiber optic network undersea is but a cherry on top considering the baseline value of telephone line-based land connections that still run half the internet.

@deedydas The Internet, as we use it today, is largely delivered locally — either from embedded caches inside of ISP networks (Netflix, for example), or from the nearest shared Internet exchange. If you watch your own traffic, you’ll be surprised how little volume flows overseas.
