I am convinced the comments after a every model release announcement is just paid posts shilling whatever model provider paid them lol

Having a good memory enables you to think deeper - if you remember certain concepts, you can reason better because you remember more concepts so your thinking is more in depth.
It's a personalized & data-driven typing application that targets your weak points
Looks awful from a design perspective. Had to double check that this was the actual IBM domain
But I don't know if I am imagining it; I'm starting to feel Claude's (AI) writing everywhere. Like this sentence for example:
> The genius of the gaucho’s system isn’t storage. It’s integration.
The x isn't y. Its z.
Can't speak for other use cases but highly recommend for solo devs and small teams.
Great support, great pricing and never had an issue with their services
Fresh account with two Ask HN questions that are bound to get replies
Yes - maybe saying "vibes" was minimizing the effort but what I am trying to say is that even the controlled testing is just asking users whether quality is impacted or not. Which is subjective and thats what I meant by when I said "vibes"
Don't get me wrong - I have no idea how one would go about testing this with other methods; I was just stating my assumption.
Since they rolled this out to all users I had assumed there would be other testing involved.
For some reason I had assumed testing this would be more sophisticated than just checking the thumbs up/down stats and user "vibes"
Something I'm working on next as well is making it more engaging!
Thank you
I definitely approached it from an engineering perspective - building what I thought was missing in the space that I wanted. In hindsight, it may not be the best business to quit a FAANG job for haha.
> Colemak, Dvorak...
We have these :). Have QWERTZ and British QWERTY as well. Going to add AZERTY next and a few others.
I an also exploring more uniqie/niche ones like Kinesis keyboards, etc.but no plans for this just yet.
> good luck!
Thank you!
I believe typing is probably one of the most important skills in 21st century for knowledge workers and yet one of the most neglected. Hoping to change that.
Anyone can learn to type fast, without having to think about or look down at the keyboard. We are building the best tool to help people get there quickly
Reminds me of DF (Distraction Free) YouTube but for LinkedIn. Tools like these make these platforms usable for me. The feeds are too addictive
building a product is the easiest part but building a good product that people want to use, pay for and functions without any issues is still as hard as ever.
i consistently see this sentiment online that "building is easy, marketing is hard" but then i see the product and its absolute AI generated slop I wouldnt touch for free
Many of the mods for various subreddits also have commercial interest (own a business in the niche related to the subreddit) and ban/remove mentions of competitors but keep mentions of their own products.
^This strategy was shared with me by an aquintance who is the main mod of 1M+ subreddit. And again - this is also just scratching the surface.
Reddit has been dead for ages
Give https://typequicker.com a try as well. For typing code practice, try typequicker.com. Supports most programming languages, and you can create your own custom snippets as well
Building a typing application that helps you quickly learn and improve your typing.
We believe everyone can type at 80wpm or more. It just takes a good tool and a couple months of consistent practice
> You can learn new things. Pixel art, touch typing, 3d modelling, music, calligraphy, wood working, knitting, a language. Whatever is practical and calls to you, you can learn.
shameless plug: if you are interested in learning touch typing, i built a data driven touch typing application:
it started as a side project (combined wanting to learn typing with my desire to build a side business while working at amazon. working on this (almost) full time now
My only hesitation is that many features are locked behind Pro.
I normally only settle for completely open source tools that I can self host and try to avoid these “partially” open tools.
For now, going to try to migrate my current stack to RabbitMQ. Seems like a very mature and completely open source tool.
River does look cool but I’m not a fan of vendor lock in. Will always avoid when possible
An AI first typing application.
I think anyone can learn touch typing and potentially 2x their typing speed.
We make typing practice engaging and data driven.
