Indeed they were.

Also, it’s interesting to note that in both cases they where two very lean companies (Instagram had 13 employees and WhatsApp had 55) with pretty a pretty large and engaged user base (30 million for Insta and 450 million for WhatsApp)

I read it full and I loved it and bookmarked it.

It resonates with my personal experience, and your writing style is fresh and dynamic.

Thanks for sharing it, and it deserves to be on the front page and #1.

> It took 18 hours of work.

So a couple of days plus a few hours. Seems reasonable.

That’s a lovely book collection, if you have kids it’s a a great present covering inspiring figures (male and female) such as Ada Lovelace and Alan Turing.

Or they don’t, and they* sell access to Mythos and successors through their services company or network of partners and charge a premium.

* they, I mean all foundation models providers, as OpenAI seems to go in the same direction

No, it’s not. One thing is to resell an item after you’ve used/enjoyed it and then maybe its value has increased. Much different is to buy an item to sell immediately and making a quick profit.

Well, we would refer to chupa-chups (brand) to the ones with a ball head. And Kojaks if they had gum inside.

Piruletas were the flat ones, either circular or heart shaped.

Pirueta is not lollipop in Spanish, it would be “piruletas” (at least in Spain Spanish).

Piruetas is pirouette, as in what a ice skater might do.

Issue is there are many apps claiming they can do that, and for many people are “magic”.

We should not allow companies to lie blatantly to the customers.

Curious, why it was easier to use an LLM vs a non-AI app with a DB of foods?

Seems that in this case a traditional approach would be more precise and more environmentally efficient to get to the same results.

You could also nerf your performance at random times and then get good at it again, and extend the illusion for longer.

I concur, seems that lately we’ve collectively forget about the KISS principle.
