About my journey from task overwhelm to the Nautilus extension that really helps with everyday planning: lifehacky.net/how-i-learned-… (Thanks Roam Research for enabling this in the first place)

On one end: what were we expecting. How long would a company with massive losses (Twilio) spend money on an authenticator app that is not core to its business? On the other: the mobile + desktop app was very good. I used it. Migration will be a pain. Another ZIPR casuality.

Big update today, the mobile beta is now editable and we are opening access to all users! Thread on some of the new features 👇 x.com/RoamResearch/s…

As long as AI systems are trained to reproduce human-generated data (e.g. text) and have no search/planning/reasoning capability, performance will saturate below or around human level. Furthermore, the amount of trials needed to reach that level will be far larger than the

I co-authored a new open letter signed by more than 270 scientists from 33 countries warning for the risks of the modified CSAM (child sexual abuse) regulation proposed by the Belgian presidency. #chatcontrol csa-scientist-open-letter.org A🧵1/10

Europe is maybe two months from passing laws that end private communication as we know it, and folks are looking the other way (understandably.) You’re not going to get a do-over once these laws are passed.

Full calendar extension for Roam Research is available now ! Daily notes and the overview provided by a calendar complement each other very well, give it a try! I would appreciate feedbacks and suggestions, feel free to share them!

To use the Montreal subway, you tap a paper ticket against the turnstile and it opens. But how does it work? And how can the ticket be so cheap that it's disposable? I opened up the tiny NFC chip inside to find out more... 1/15

📣✨ Introducing Latticework, new work with Matthew Siu. 🕸️✍️ It aims to help with making sense of messy piles of unstructured documents. The key idea is unifying annotation (direct reaction in context) w/ freeform text-editing (for fluid sensemaking). matthewsiu.com/Latticework

As the CEO of a company in Europe: 1) European VCs are cautious and have less money than American VCs - some great smaller firms, not enough to scale. 2) Universities don’t teach programming as engineering but as math. 3) Regulations are badly crafted even if well-intended.

Unfortunately, iPhone 16 Pro is back on the trend of getting heavier. Its weight is closer to that of the steel-framed 14 Pro than the 15 Pro.

Once again, impressive (even if not generally visible) work from the X engineering team. (Close-to) zero downtime migrations / rewrites behind the scenes are often underrated despite their complexity and effort. Here are details on splitting a 60M RPS (!!) service into two:

📡The Roam x Zapier integration is now live! Automate your workflow by connecting Slack, Gmail, and more straight to Roam. Set up Zaps to have everything flow directly into your graph: Pick your trigger in Zapier, set Roam as the destination, or vice-versa & done🚀 No

you have to be blind at this point to not see the future. the era of traditional software, as a stable object with version numbers, roadmaps & feature sets, is pretty much gone. we’re prolly just slow to admit it. future systems will be fluid, ambient, entangled with context.

Oh wow when did this iconic movie producer become "An Amazon Company" Caught me completely off guard... Amazon did not exist in the 50s lol

Obsidian Web Clipper 0.11.9 has a new "embedded" mode that opens in the page instead of a popup This means you can use highlighter and interpreter in multiple browser tabs, at the same time

The state-of-the-art in prompting is still much more art than science. Very few people are rigorously testing prompt approaches and almost everything you are taught about prompting is best guesses or based on obsolete information (eg chain of thought no longer helps much)

Livechat apps sucks. Half of the time, it's automated AI bs & the other half is overpriced So I made my own tiny app: Heyo.so, the human-first support chat 👱🏻‍♂️ No bloat, no bs, just an easy way to talk with your users and show you care about them! 🔊 Sound on

okay what I did here was I took a data set of ChatGPT interactions collected in the wild and reversed the "assistant" and "user" tags. fine-tuned llama 8B on some of that data and gave it the ability to message you first. try it at youaretheassistantnow.com 😊
