Hot take: Canva layoffs will have a very positive effect on the startup scene.

The $10,000 cheque with six months salary is an amazing runway to turn many of these people into incredible founders.

I built this over the last ~36h.

I will make it open source by end of today.

By no means I am trying to say what these guys have done is not impressive.

It is just to show that even as a non-technical person, you can build something that used to be insanely hard to do.

We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again.

Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both

Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard.

It tracks your internal speech muscles with non-contact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min.

Pre-orders are now live at:

@andrewchen We're building the context layer for the AI/Robotics-native home care companies. (Or become one ourselves) The next honor, iykyk.

@AarushYadav47 This is so cool - curious, why are you building glasses as opposed to using existing devices people have?

[spiro el khoury @spirokhoury_]

Give me 48h and I'll do it using my airpods pro

@boardyai I asked you to connect me to adam neuuman and you couldn't 😬

[spiro el khoury @spirokhoury_]

@TheRedPillHQ Did you know you could use the micro-movements of facial and jaw muscles in the ear canal to track silent speech?

@skeptrune you should go to the mediterranean countries

A few years ago, when I was still a Boy Scout, I noticed an old pulley in one of the boxes that nobody was using, and it inspired me to build a drawbridge :)

The following summer camp, there was a competition for the best installation, so I made a deal with the camp chief. If we managed to build it, we'd automatically win.

Of course, there was no river or castle, so we had to get creative.

We found a spot surrounded by rocks, built a wooden tower, and connected it to the rocks with a drawbridge that opened and closed using a pulley.
It was the only way you could access the tower.

It even doubled as a table for lunch and dinner.

moral of the story: when life gives you rocks, build a drawbridge.
