I recently gave a conf talk in Croatia about how GenAI is making us all sound soulless. Got the video and decided to share so it doesn't go to waste :D

With an initial investment of half a million dollars, Howitzer started in 2021 as a student initiative. Three years after pivoting in HeyReach, the Macedonian startup is profiled as one of the few players on the market with its own unique product that generates annual earnings of $2.4 million.

Business operating system (BOS) acts like the brain of a company, organizing all data and coordinating operations. It is practically the central nervous system of the company.

The law was from 2015 to 2017 or 2018, but then the stickers stayed on. Nobody bothered to remove them :D

it's a sad story, but talks a ton about digital culture and literacy across governments who are having hard time keeping up with tech. The ongoing AI revolution is not going to make it easier

Macedonian transporters have been advertising the private Invest.com website this past decade for free, after a supposed mix up regarding the campaign “Invest in Macedonia”. While the campaign was popular during the tenure of the country’s previous government, Invest.com is a site of a Cypriot currency trading company, and has no connections whatsoever with InvestInMacedonia.gov.mk.

It is all just a mindset and how much you want to be involved.

Here is an inspirational story for you: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39288139

Sixty-year-old Jordan Stojanovski isn’t your average retiree. A New York-based veteran in the fintech sector, Stojanovski has been making waves in the web3 space for the past few years. One of his latest hackathon projects, Sarma - Sarma: simple primitive to achieve private execution on EVM, even cross-chain, won multiple awards on ETH Global Istanbul.

This is the level of creative thinking the industry needs! :D

Kudos for the idea and execution, it's awesome :D

Well start cooking then too, you will pile up dishes. win-win :D

On-demand single session is not personalized for you, so you will just get mostly boilerplate advices. If you want to go that route, go for the long-term as you can start getting personalized advice and root cause identification.

Off topic, on the question about my plans... I started cooking three years ago and that turned out to be an awesome mental exercise and mental well-being routine that takes you away from the screens.

1) It has many mindless tasks - chopping/cutting etc so your brain can still dream, 2) With advanced techniques and recipes your brain is completely shut-down and you have to be present in order to do something good, 3) Once you get to know the basics, cooking boosts your imagination as you can start combining and changing things your way. 4) teaches you patience, especially if you start baking...

Just start cooking and thank me later. + you'll eat healthier

There is so much template advice in the industry that it is hurting my eyes. Everyone shares pre-defined path of what to do, how to do... lines between good intent advice and just advice that leads to a course, community, newsletter sign up, book sale etc are very low.

There are some good industry practices that should be taken in consideration - the mom test etc etc, but in general I'm believer that you should take your own path, define your audience and find your channels.

Stop feeling the FOMO and just build a good product, talk honestly to customers, experiment with some channels and see what happens.

Mr Beast rules YT. It doesn't mean if you replicate his steps how he got there you will also. Same with all the startup funders who exited and got famous. I call them the "startup elders".

Take in the advice, listen, but decide and don't blindly replicate.

We started rolling out beta for our startup after three years in stealth-mode - so that goes beyond initial logic of launch yesterday and send an MVP even if it is wireframe bla bla... I say f*ck that Bitconned shit (see the doc if you haven't). Our playbook is to find the right audience within our pace, get some very good users that really want to use the platform. Don't push things, just be patient and build and do right.

Let's see what happens, all these "trust me bros" that share huge MRR numbers doesn't mean that they built good and sustainable businesses...

The humble compact disc has gone from relic to retro as Gen Z music fans look for ways to commemorate their favorite artists.

Amazon finally beats IKEA in product naming game.

The biggest question here is isn't Amazon using their own AI to filter and rate basic things like titles and flag them and etc....

User when posting.

Why impossible?

When you submit URL: NH offers few general categories in a mandatory field. OP chooses most suitable. Homepage provides filters: ALL / CAT1 / CAT2 / CAT3.

Nothing drastically changes, but helps with content consumptions significantly. For example, I might be interested only in hardware stories, so I'll click on the HARDWARE cat/tag whatever.

Unproductive workforce and employees being too much in the comfort zone. People just got lazier as more stuff were thrown at them - from chia puddings to remote work and most of us humans have lazy self-control features built-in.

True that, I was totally having just the capitalist markets in mind when that thought went in my head. :D tnx for clarificaiton

Oh snap, that logic escaped me.

Interesting that in beginning of January a lot of the job cuts are being announced, I'm sure decisions were made previous months. Is it because of the time to recover for potential backslash in the quartarely reports or any other reason?

For FB/Meta the decline is very obvious on the technological side as well. Nothing really works properly on their platform. And I'm not talking about their basic user features - I'm talking about the features that make them money.

Ad setup doesn't work, you are hitting random errors on setting up API calls, basic UX and non-functional pixel setups, some weird limits or even plain unresponsive pages.

Just few days ago, talking to their support about ficitonal ad account limit after hitting 5 ad accoutns, they responded to me randomly with system messages in vietnamese - my acc has never had association with vietnamese.

You can disable the option on phones to auto capitalize.

Again, my observation here is not that "TVs should stay grayscale" but that this lowercase movement is now being used to "fight the AI generated content" which I find pretty funny because it makes no sense. You can tell ChatGPT to write in lowercase.

It especially got traction after @sama's tweet that had no intention to associate it with non-GPT content, but just weirdly flexed that he types in lowercase.

Interesting times to be alive in... even Google considers a similiar move based on some news report, but mentioning 30k employees.

Yeah, but not in this context. Now it is being used with the anti-AI movement

It is a weird trend.

Or maybe you are spreading the anti ai ai club movement > https://twitter.com/daniel_nguyenx/status/174508587502795617... :D

j/k but finding it pretty funny these days that more and more people are switching to lowercase, assuming it started from this @sama tweet: https://twitter.com/sama/status/1735123080564167048
