Amazing breakdown of how difficult it is to make something great. Makes you see your own problems (eg with a startup/business) in a completely different light - as something to be expected, maybe even cherished as a sign that you're moving in the right direction.

Kostya is one of the best designers I know. I've been following his work for a decade. This is a glimpse of how working with AI will look & feel in the future (and how Apple should have done it lol) - light, ambient, available through multiple interfaces

Hiring shouldn’t cost this much time, money and back-and-forth.

So we built Vesna, a personal recruiter in your phone. Text it who you need, and it finds people, emails them and books interviews.

Apple Calendar has one tab missing - "Decade." Would be really useful to look at it once in a while, reflecting on where things are going and whether that's still the direction that makes sense

We’re busy.. saving time. Isn’t that strange?

@ProofofMaro The irony is that you're seeing this schematic 🙂

Interesting! Is this discrepancy - a) the data problem, b) the training problem, or c) both?

Speech-to-text is solved. Unless you have an accent.

Over 1 million people from 180 countries have spent 580,000 hours speaking with Fluently AI tutors while learning a new language.

Nearly all of them have an accent, and transcribing their speech is still hard.

So we benchmarked streaming speech-to-text systems on spontaneous, accented English from our learners. Leaderboard and methodology in the thread.

English is the easy one. Our learners study 14 other languages too.

Working on tough speech problems? DMs are open.

We will soon re-discover that words have meaning

Surround yourself with people who see a flying car and say, "Awesome!"

Not people who see a flying car and say, "It's not actually flying" or "I don't see the point."

This post is not about cars :)

@georgefavvas That sunrise is gorgeous. Worth coming just to see it haha!

@alisa_poliakova @deel Thanks so much Alisa!! I'm very glad you enjoyed the courses. Keep building 😊

[Vasili Shynkarenka @flreln]

Many of our students come back for their 2nd or 3rd course. I guess it's a sign of PMF 🙂

[Alisa Poliakova @alisa_poliakova]

I have completed 2 AI courses with AI Study Camp!! Last November it was "LLM fundamentals", and this March it was "AI for Building"!
Real impact for today? Just built an #aiagent for @deel  yesterday in 10 min, and running a new app for a few hundred Ops for Deel in the background all night.
Great to connect with course founders @flreln

[Vasili Shynkarenka @flreln]

Good question to ask yourself re social media: are you a user, or are you being used? It’s obviously both, but which one dominates? And do you like this dynamic?

[Vasili Shynkarenka @flreln]

@stopachka Congrats Stopa!!
