Been using it for a while. Very good experience so far. Maybe even better than claude or replit

Looks like there is need for 2 separate visa categories: - One to bring top 0.1% talent from across the globe to the US - Another to bring in temporary talent as needed

Current version of H1B had become a big basket to hold both, and abused too for just finding cheaper labor. It may be time to segment these out.

Also, given that US has ~400 million local citizens, there should be less need for either.

AI-buddies is now a year old idea and now many other harnesses like Hermes, OpenClaw have most of the same functionality.

Main concept of AI-buddies is to quickly spin up "buddies" who have varying personalities and feel like a real person. Just like real people buddies can talk to each other, share information and have very different functions in your life. For ex a Gym buddy is very different from a "mom" buddy or a Math prof buddy.

Main difference that they are easier to set up for non technical users, and that they can gather input from other real people (for example, if allowed, a Tax buddy can get input from your accountant).

Been a user of Screenpipe to build some "Ai-buddies" for me since last year. Core of that is giving AI a look at what is happening in time space. Without Screenpipe this was rather hard to do at the performance screenpipe gives.

Issue for any country that is not China. A single country getting the most AI tokens business would be generally bad for global economy. Hoping against hope that this business gets globally distributed and there is a healthy marketplace competition overall

Some of these don't seem like "YC scandals": - Zenefits: A non-YC company put a spy in Zenefits. - Pebble: Still loved by many, just had black swan event of Apple launching a better product - Cruise: Looks very much like a GM issue.

Could be camera and canvas to CAD - be more apt for your use case? Something akin to minority report + AI?

Asking seriously.

Context: Have some overlapping interest in the space because I am prototyping a camera based edge device that allows for AR/AI interactions.

A few things that have helped me in the past are: - Find small wins. Don't expect big changes immediately. Small wins accumulate over time. Examples: say hi to neighbors, go to a gym, work from a coffee shop etc. - Join a coworking space. This was a huge help personally. It still took more than a few months but this changed my life.

Hope these help a bit!

fillskills — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 16:38:26 +0000

There are 4 different categories of fixing the global CO2 challenge: a. Remove CO2 from atmosphere b. Prevent adding new CO2 from reaching atmosphere

This could also be a good use case for #b where CO2 is captured before being released to the atmosphere. For example factories and vehicles could be mandated to use this.
