After working with a team of 5 engineers for years, I feel that story/task point estimations are somewhat arbitrary (e.g., t-shirt size or Fibonacci scale). The purpose of planning poker is to uncover disagreements & assumptions between engineers and force conversation…
5 years ago I wrote about how we failed our last startup and we pivoted to Jenni AI Today we just became the #1 startup on IndieHackers 😄
I need 7-hour flights between San Francisco <-> Singapore. The plane should be just all bunk beds - no seats or meals required. Go to bed and wake up in another city. @boomaero will ship it. @SingaporeAir can operate it.
Rust code with solid integration tests is one of the few things that I'd be confident committing straight to prod.

One tech mistake I made that wasted months of work was trying to set up microservices. This caused: - Deployment version mismatch - Duplicated CI/CD - Harder to enforce code standards - API communication overhead 💡 Lesson: For a team of < 10 people, monorepos are better.
A common pattern in AI wearables (Humane/Limitless) is to capture more data from users - a physical version of the @RewindAI app. But frictionless capture is not enough. You also need to delight users using their data. Once that's achieved, then you have a data feedback loop 💰

You can simultaneously criticize a product and support its founders/vision/ambition. @MKBHD's review discussed the pros/cons and respected the product's future ambition. I'm not sure where the carelessness is.

Demos sell the vision, not the reality. Having a good vision is important, but I would only trust a product once I've tried it.

Hey Founders in San Francisco! We're hosting a co-working day tomorrow (Friday Apr 12) at Bunny House ✨ 🎉 RSVP (free): lu.ma/coworkinghouse 🐰 Hosts: @TheLiyenTan, @Calclavia, & @existony
I was doing internal testing of Jenni's text generation today and, funny enough, it used the word "delve" on the first try. Time to set logit bias on "delve" to -100.
Has anyone seen a freemium product that monetized user labor by getting users to label data instead of monetizing via ads? @scale_AI could be the AdSense of data labeling.
If only @Uber X Share could make everyone walk ~5 minutes (1 block), it'd be much more efficient. The current setup often wastes 3 minutes at each stop because the driver needs to make unnecessary U-turns. Makes it not worth the few dollars off.

Oh my god. 😂 GPT-4 uses the word “delve” so much because many of the RLHF’s (reinforcement learning human feedback) workers for GPT-4 were Nigerians who use the word “delve” a lot more relative to other countries. So GPT-4 writes like an educated anglophone African.
MYSTERY SOLVED! Why does ChatGPT use the word "delve" so much? We've seen a 10x increase in the proportion of medical studies using the word "delve" from 2022 to 2024. But why? @alexhern at The Guardian might've just solved it. Thread below, complete with the trail of clues:
