I can't zoom in to your website on my phone without an email subscription prompt blocking the screen that I can't easily close, and each new zoom in or out repeats it.
Also, unless I'm missing something, the app is called TabTabTab while its only feature is copy & paste? Tabbing doesn't seem to be mentioned at all. I'm guessing tabbing is involved but there doesn't seem to be a word about it except from users referencing it in the reviews. It seems to only bill itself as "magic copy-paste".
Hey, right now I am myself the AI in the backend after the initial questionnaire is finished. I wanted to validate the product / need before building out more complexity.
My initial reaction was that there’s no way the current generation can do everything your “AI assistant” can do. Looks like my impression was correct.
Your real competition is virtual personal assistants. The advantage of hiring them over you is that I can have a long-term relationship with them. Sorry to be pessimistic, but I don’t think you have anything here.
So you should be clear about what you are doing. There is a difference between (a) validating a problem statement before you build a product and (b) selling a product that doesn't exist.
We used Starlark for all of its properties and built a tool[0] that allows you to spin up containers in an imperative programming way on Docker and Kubernetes through Starlark!
It can be pretty cool as you can pass in arguments and get a different set of services based on what you pass in. I like to think of it is an "exe" for a distributed system.
As someone who just skims Hacker News and little else and no skin in the game, I always get the impression that Pichai is the weakest of the big tech CEOs, compared to Satya, Cook, etc.
Is my impression correct? Or it’s just that the anti-Google sentiment is strong in HN?
No hes bad. Very good politician at Google, did some interesting moves with Chrome a long time back. Not a visionary, and they are afraid of ai overtaking google
Sundar is a profitability machine. Google is also an order of magnitude larger than OpenAI. I don’t want all my orders drunk tweeting their thoughts to me. Apple doesn’t say shit but look at what they have achieved.
It depends. Microsoft is the most valuable company in the world and they don’t have any recent “hits”. They just keep doing their core business well just like Google does. That being said, all the research for all of this AI renaissance has come directly out of Google.
I don't understand how Apple is hitting home runs. What have they really innovated on post Steve Jobs? Their products are pretty much equivalent to the competition with 5% more polish at the cost of 5% more time to release. Marketing wise, they are close to gods, but innovation wise, even Microsoft is better.
I definitely agree on the fact that Tim is a much better CEO than Sundar. However I consider Satya to be much better than Tim.
Gargantuan achievements in two different spaces. 10 million tokens means insane things. Things like feeding the entire codebase of a massive site and saying make a copy of this with these changes.
Gemini is catching up, so OpenAI needs a new venue to market itself to the investors. It is doing a soft pivoting if you ask me, now GPT4 is like not that special anymore.
On the other hand, Video to google is much less relevant than text. But if OpenAI figuring out something from it to AGI, that would be a different story.
Youtube? Someone's going to make a tiktok like quick-feedback thing of purely generated stuff that learns what you like and tailors the generations to you, and, despite Google owning Youtube, OpenAI looks far closer to it than them.
Youtube is a video hosting platform, its advantage is in video delivery and ads. Why would a video generation software disrupts business?
Creating realistic video isn't hard even today, you can just do it on your phone and creating hours, hours of cat/dog videos. The hard part is to find a story to make it interesting. It could be possible in the future, like automatic film making, from script to realization, but that doesn't make YouTube's business go away either.
I would much rather pay to generate my own realistic videos based on my prompts than watch other people’s random creations (possibly filled with ads). When generation becomes great the motivation and need to store, retrieve and serve becomes less relevant.
Maybe it was edited later, but the post now says "(>$10M)". I interpret that as $10–19M. That's not great for a product that's been around for 9 years.
I consulted a similar company in their space ~5 years ago. What I found was that the way to make money in K8s automation/monitoring is to position it as a security solution. That's what Snyk did and they've been killing it, reaching $7B valuation as of last year. Both the company I was advising and Weave.works decided to stick to the developer productivity story and unfortunately both have now shut down. There are many factors to a company's success but it doesn't help to be positioned as a solution that's seen as just a "nice-to-have" or part of a "best practice."
Productivity is a hard sell for a company that is tech focused. Since a client basically can't measure the impact there is little external difference between a true solution and a fake solution. As a result even if you convince someone of the value a company that focuses on marketing to those paying the bills will win out against one that focused on building a better product.
Security has fairly proscriptive compliance requirements (ie: SOC, etc.) which provide a benchmark against which to measure impact. Not impact on security but impact on meeting the compliance requirements.
I think, in simpler terms. There's always a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). But, there's rarely a Chief Productivity Officer. It's usually the CTO et al fighting for dev productivity if any, else nobody just cares and you get impenetrable tarball software
Is that because as soon as you become a so-called security product you are now selling to the CISO org?
My experience with the CISO org is that they love buying expensive B2B enterprise products that have very limited real-life use-cases but are really good at checking boxes. That whole cloud-native security industry is full of FUD and fear-based selling to non technical organizations
Obviously biased but we at Kurtosis are trying to solve this problem through Starlark.
We took Starlark added a few more of our instructions that make our Starlark container native. The complex Starlark definition supports
- Composition - you can import a remote definition and just use it
- Decomposable - you can break things apart
- Parametrizability - want one of a service and 10 of the other, just pass an argument
- Portable - It runs pretty much anywhere
Our runtime takes the Starlark and creates environments in both Docker and Kubernetes; from one definition
It seems Ballmer was memed to death, but he did actually do a lot of the hard, transitional things that allow ms to shine today.
Thinking of the developers speech meme, and reflecting upon how microsoft became a significant OS pillar, developed VScode and the LSP protocol, bought github, etc - and looking at the significant subsequent rise of devrel roles, it seems like his vision was 20/20, regardless of the delivery.
It seems like these are Nadella’s successes. Someone else mentioned Azure, which is the division Nadella ran before taking over as CEO. It seems he was likely the key there as well.
Meanwhile, during Ballmer’s time at the helm, the stock price was flat the entire time, all growth was under Gates and Nadella. Ballmer famously missed modern smartphones and attempts to course correct all failed, to the point that they gave up. Xbox started under Ballmer, but it’s been reported that it has lost $3b over the last 10 years. When he took over Windows had control of nearly the entire desktop market, when he left it has dropped significant with Apple now holding about 20%. People no longer believe Windows is required to get work done. And when looking at all operating systems, Android is about to surpass Windows, if it hasn’t already.
He was giving a company with an overwhelmingly dominant position and left his successor with an uphill battle for mainstream relevance. It’s crazy when people talk about FAANG, there is no “M”. I think that is due to Ballmer’s mismanagement during the entire era which gave rise to these companies.
Ignoring all the memes, I think he did a bad job. At best, he kept them in the game enough to give Nadella a chance for a recovery, which has been going well.
If you believe the company's culture can be turned around in a year, sure. Personally, I don't believe these changes could have been delivered by Nadella if he had inherited the 2000's Microsoft, which was a consumer product company.
Sure, he missed out on smartphones. By that mark, should we indict Google's leadership for G+ failing against Facebook?
> Meanwhile, during Ballmer’s time at the helm, the stock price was flat the entire time
Well, stock price isn't everything. Ballmer certainly wasn't Jack Welch. My point is that he positioned the company to succeed, not that he communicated well about this positioning.
Can’t comment if the index is broken or is functioning as expected. The answer would be different based on what your time horizon is; pretty sure S&P 500 is highly up since the 1998 peak. It’s at 4500 compared to 1300~ at its peak in 1998.
It will be broken(temporarily) if Nvidia(or take your pick) starts crashing but you might still do better than betting on an individual stock.
