To add to this Youtube afaik uses multiple models to sprinkle in new content alongside your usual recommendation just for this.


He literally did a prisoner's dilemma on them. Love it.


Actually the reason is that with the Unitree products if you want the Python SDK the price jumps to $5,000 for the same hardware. At least it was the last time I checked earlier this year.


A newsletter based platform that gives daily news briefings on countries using the local language news. Called Lexica News it’s working pretty well so far. Users are mostly international business execs, diplomats, etc.

MOOCs have always given value to a certain group (about 3% of people who are motivated to self learn) and are basically useless for everyone else. Which is why they are primarily virtue signaling devices to fluff your LinkedIn.

When I started learning to code for data science I appreciated the lectures and examples. Once you reach a certain technical level these MOOCs aren't really helpful though.


I’m the owner of a smallish furniture manufacturer. About 15 employees. I built out the order management system myself because nothing really fit our process.

After looking at the site I can’t really say I know how this software could help us. I’ll look at it later on my desktop but first I think some better demo videos or gifs on the landing page would be nice.


When I worked in manufacturing we had an ERP system that was awful, and we ended up supplementing it with Excel spreadsheets and an Access database. I briefly started writing my own ERP system to replace the whole system, but I realized something: my ERP system would be hopelessly tied to our process at this company, and wouldn't be usable by the manufacturer down the street, which my buddy worked at, without extensive rewriting. Software of this kind has a tension between being general-purpose and being really good for one specific workflow.

Maybe ERP is one of those things that co-evolves with the company, shaping the company as much as it's shaped by the company.


This I think will be the future. The ERP I made for my company is hopelessly tied to our process, and it saves time and reduces mental overhead for everyone.

It evolves as we do with me making feature updates and bug fixes every few weeks. Of course this is unusual in that I’m a very technical owner, but I feel this is the right way.

As software becomes easier to make custom software will reduce in price as well. Software gives my company an edge and I’ll take every advantage I can get.


yeah, good point. the docs could definitely use some work. check this out if you're interested. it's not complete, but it goes through the software pretty well: https://learn.carbon.ms

i don't know if you build anything custom, but we do have a configurator


Did you folks roll this yourself? I like the learning platform and was trying to figure out what you've might have used to build it.



I like the idea, but it's really just three summaries each day, which I can get from Google News. Would be nice to have links to the tweets at the very least.

Also the top three stories are most likely what your audience already knows. What people are craving, at least what I'm craving, is something that isn't on my feed everywhere else.


Not to be that guy, tech twitter is already so reductionist in terms of actually quality content. Getting the most popular posts from there is going to be really "fluffy" in terms technical details. For instance how is Elon Musk declaring he's forming a new political party technology related news?


Off grid power, air gapped compute, growing food, etc. Basically what Zuck is doing minus the SEALs and bunkers.


Considering the amount of digitalization in society, more government regulations, etc. I think basic literacy alone does not guarantee you can participate in society effectively.


But in the past, literacy was typically defined as "bare minimum".

It's fine if we want to change it to "sufficiently master language to do a white collar job", but if the standard changes we shouldn't be surprised fewer people meet it.


Well the topic of conversation was AGI. I have a stem phd and I like to think I’m a strong reader, but Gemini pro can analyze/distill pages of text at least as well as I can, and much much faster. It only seems to fail when it doesn’t have relevant data/context.


Any language...

Proceeds to not work with several low resource languages I tried.


Yeah, looks like an unfortunate marketing term. In the explainer video they mention 60 languages.


Curious, which?
