Excited to try it once it is actually open for use. Anyone else find the the product gifs hard to follow with all of the motion and zoom?

This looks very cool. In every company I've worked at the biggest hurdle with these tools is getting the entire team to use them and keep them up to date. I think that gen AI could provide tons of value with that problem (because most teams have members that don't update their tickets)

A while ago I had the idea that gen AI would probably be able to maintain a jira/kanban board of choice without people in your company being required to update it. You could track this based off what was going on with other company activity. E.g., looking at what people are saying in Slack, what commits a developer has pushed to GitHub, etc, what someone said they would do on a zoom call, etc.

Have you guys thought about any similar features in this space?

Congrats on the launch!

Doesn't quite meet all of your criteria but I have been quite happy with https://obsidian.md/

Thanks for checking it out! That repo is not related to this project, did you see it on the main list on https://github.com/capeprivacy or somewhere else? We will try to avoid the confusion in the future.

Unless they already have some CS knowledge I would just start them w/ a chatgpt subscription, the notebooks could come later. Something like Poe would also be worth considering to get access to more models.

Cool initiative, it would be nice if this had some form of quality control / polish (I guess that is what the upvoting is for once there is enough users).

The two I clicked on had lots of exchange where the model didn't know what the user was asking for, saying, "as an LLM, I cannot ..."

Looks very cool, will have to give it a try. How does a user experience someone else using brand new chat features from a different platform? E.g., what if someone on iMessage used the new sticker features while I am on beeper?

Small note -- In the "more features you'll love section", clicking the links makes the bubbles shrink and cut off the text for me (chrome on mac os)

Makes me think of https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/ for your life. Any recommendations for tracking while away from your computer? I love ease of use but I think I would lose large parts of my day & weekends when not at my desk.

Is the heart of your problem your career or this specific job / company? A change of scenery can do wonders to re-motivate and reinvigorate.

SecureNN gives efficient secure ReLU's and Maxpooling neural network layers. This is done using secure multiparty computation (MPC).

tf-encrypted is a project that aims to bring secure technologies into a place that feels familiar to practitioners.

Not saying I agree with the parent but it's not like Google is going to call it quits here and not try to improve the tech to use in more situations.

New comment by bendecoste in "What Rock Climbing Taught Me About Engineering"

bendecoste — Wed, 14 Jun 2017 16:42:39 +0000

If you want to climb with ropes imho it will be easier if you have a friend to learn with. You guys can go to pretty much any gym and get quick instruction on how to use the belay device they will have and then you are climbing.

Climbing outdoors I would recommend finding someone who is experienced. Outside is more dangerous and you should really know what you are doing or be with someone who knows what they are doing. Depending on where you are you can hire a guide to do this for you if you don't know anyone.

Another option is bouldering. This is where the routes are low enough to the ground where you don't need ropes. The routes (boulderers call them "problems") are often a series of moves where each is technical. Depending on where you are you can probably find a bouldering gym near you that will rent you shoes to get your toes wet. You can also find bouldering problems outside.

Climbing with rope or bouldering are both great activities. I would highly recommend both!

Kotlin has all of these features and build times don't (noticeably) suffer.
