Deals like these are quite rare, would be nice to know more about how the funding worked, but for customers, what are they doing? Total silence from Groq for a very long time now.

I'm working on MedAngle, the world's first Agentic AI Super App for premed, medical, and dental schools and recent graduates - young doctors.

MedAngle is literally everything one could need, personalized to their curriculum across 4-6 years of medical school. Quizzes, videos, notes, flashcards, reminders, scheduling, performance, search, and more.

Our Super App is comprised of MedGPT + MedAgent + Spaci (futuristic spaced repetition), which serve as layers over our massive collection of features such as the Smart Suite, Learning Library, Clinical Corner, Tested Tools and more.

100k+ users, 10s of billions of seconds spent studying smarter, invite only. Bootstrapped, growing nicely. I lead a team of top medical students and doctors.

Not a headline I ever thought I would see. Kinda crazy how meme stocks and retail hype has led to this.

New comment by maz1b in "A couple million lines of Haskell: Production engineering at Mercury"

maz1b — Sun, 03 May 2026 01:20:23 +0000

I think perhaps contrary to popular belief, Mercury choosing Haskell and their early leadership having such a storied experience in it probably played some non-insignificant role in their success.

As a customer of Mercury, it's truly one of the critical companies my toolkit, and I just can't help but feel that their choosing of Haskell made their progress, development and overall journey that much better. I realize that you can make this argument with most languages, and it's not to say that a FP lang like Haskell is a recipe for success, but this intentional decision particularly pre "vibe coding" and the LLM era seems particularly prescient, of course combined with their engineering culture that was detailed in the post.

Really enjoyed reading this. A lot. Reminds me when I was a teenager reading technical blogs in the earlier days of the internet.

BTW, that last line about hiring/commissioning a cartographer, very rad and cool :~)

I still wish they named it something else, but congratulations to the team on what seems to be a good release!

Pricing is also quite surprising, compared to comparable competitors. I guess they have tons of capacity or really want to bring over more people.

maz1b — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 21:26:35 +0000

It seems to me that Apple is only going to be further increasing the number of price points and "levels" of caliber of devices, from budget/entry level all the way to new heights such as things like iPhone Ultra or Macbook Ultra, because services will be have an even wider net to cast into (If you're buying Ultra devices, you'll probably get AppleCare+, and if you have new apple devices such as the Neo or 17e etc, you'll be more likely to get Apple music or books or fitness or whatnot.

Wow, that is insanely atrocious. I'll look into moving off any remaining domains away from GoDaddy.

Heard it's written in Swift for this native adaptation. That's a good sign.

maz1b — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 21:14:03 +0000

I really can't believe they discontinued the Pro Display XDR.. what is wrong with them? A company the size of Apple, surely must have the resources to update it every couple of years.

AFAIK, they don't have any deals or partnerships with Groq or Cerebras or any of those kinds of companies.. so how did they do this?

New comment by maz1b in "Ruby 4.0.0"

maz1b — Thu, 25 Dec 2025 06:54:04 +0000

It's never Christmas without a new ruby version.

The ruby::box thing looks pretty interesting, from a cursory glance you can run two simultaneous versions of something like a feature or rollout much more conveniently.

Also being able to do

  if condition1
     && condition2
    ...
  end

on multiple lines rather than one - this is pretty nifty too!

Damn. Was hoping Groq and Cerebras would give the giants a run for their money.

Would like to see how this holds up with a up-to-date version of Svelte/Sveltekit. Also, missing the comparison of Solid/SolidStart.
