I guess I can overcome the "what if I cannot undo" anxiety.

Really? it took "user feedback" for one of the world's best software companies to realize one of the most fundamental parts of the OS was broken?

I have been long on $MSFT for a while now, but my faith as an investor stands shook.

People are flooded by new projects and assume (rightly) that most are low-signal, so they don’t engage. Because there’s low engagement, new projects get even less visibility. That reinforces the belief that nothing interesting can be built anymore.

I ship earlier now (often free and open source) to learn faster, but it doesn’t change the attention dynamics much.

The bottleneck isn’t building. it’s distribution and who already has an audience. Now dont get me started on getting an audience. thats a whole different pain.

Pains I faced running BIG clusters on-prem.

1. Supply chain Management -- everything from power supplies all the way to GPUs and storage has to be procured, shipped, disassembled and installed. You need labor pool and dedicated management.

2. Inventory Management -- You also need to manage inventory on hand for parts that WILL fail. You can expect 20% of your cluster to have some degree of issues on an ongoing basis

3. Networking and security -- You are on your own defending your network or have to pay a ton of money to vendors to come in and help you. Even with the simplest of storage clusters, we've had to deal with pretty sophisticated attacks.

When I ran massive clusters, I had a large team dealing with these. Obviously, with PaaS, you dont need anyone.

Thank You for an amazing product!

Overselling abilities is for sure a lack of quality.

And this is the case across the board.

My friend's Fitbit works way better than my Apple watch.

Third and final example is how bad Apple's native dictation engine is. I can run OpenAI Whisper models on my Mac and get dramatically better output.

As a long time Apple fan who's had everything since before the first iPhone, I feel this apathy towards product quality cannot be disguised as some strategic decision to fast follow with AI.

I built https://inboxtutor.net , a tool (more like a toy) I use to send myself daily lessons over email, generated using Gemini.

ChatGPT and Perplexity offer something similar, but they require opening an app, and their lesson continuity is often weak. I kept getting repeated content. So I built something that works entirely through email. The whole experience lives in my inbox, a place I’m checking anyway.

How it works: 1. Enter what you want to learn (“Teach me Japanese for my trip”) 2. Verify your email 3. Receive personalized AI generated lessons in your inbox daily 4. Reply to any lesson to ask questions, take quizzes, or reshape the content

That’s it. No app. No dashboard. Just email.

You can also attach context using PDFs, URLs, or pasted text you want incorporated into your lessons.

I’ve found it a nice async way to learn and thought I’d share it here.

Try it: https://inboxtutor.net/

I really think there's a big opportunity for somebody to create the astral.sh for PHP.

With a proper package manager, PHP can do way more than what it presently can.
