Anyone else hate when an LLM searches the web instead of just coming up with the answer directly?
Especially talking about larger models here that have sufficient knowledge, ie. Claude Sonnet 3.7.
The answer without web search is so much more useful....

I applied for Antler Residency, been a while since I got "rejected", was good to practice getting out of comfort zone.
I participated in Startup Bootcamp Fintech back in 2015 and learned a lot from it, despite the fact I don't really want to be VC funded anyway.
Moving on :)

F1 season about to start, I've never been this hyped for it!
I never really followed sports, but after attending my first race in 2016 and seeing the cars up close I was hooked.
(2016 cars didn't have the halo, this picture is from 2019)

I've been listening to ADHD Is Awesome audiobook, really enjoying it. Introduction of the book reminds everyone of the definition of awesome, not what I thought it was 😂

Grateful for @FeaturebaseHQ's free plan. Can't yet justify $49 a month for it, but it's so nice seeing users leave feedback, comment and upvote. Definitely will upgrade as Focu grows.
I started with posting my own ideas, and over time actual users joined in, which feels really good.

Why I love @TauriApps . Few lines of Rust code that any AI can help you generate to use secure storage (ie. keychain on MacOS/iOS).
Now all I have to do is `await invoke("store_api_key", { keyName: provider, apiKey });` from my TypeScript frontend and done :)

Will soon release an update for Focu that adds support for any cloud AI provider. Thanks to @OpenRouterAI you can start for free :)
Local AI with Ollama is amazing, but the fact is, the online models are much more powerful than anyone could run on consumer hardware.

Not as crazy as some projects, but 72 stars is still pretty nice :D

This is so cool, besides a regular careers page @shopify has an "extraordinary" page that does not require a traditional resume but instead proof of excellence.
What other companies do this?

Very successful Reddit post.
I posted a week prior in the same community, but my post was too "self promoting" and got downvoted.
I posted again, this time open-sourcing my app and out of 74 comment the worst comment was "Not for me but I like the idea!"

I'm currently building Focu, a mindful productivity app using a locally running AI for MacOS.
The support has far exceeded expectations. I released the app with a 3 day trial and within the first 24 hours 30% of the people who downloaded bought the app
