Stoked about custom environments on visionOS from your panoramas. I have been shooting so many panoramas of national parks in anticipation of this moment.
Congrats Jarred and team! You have saved humanity many hours already, and I'm sure with Anthropic's backing, you will spare us many more. Farewell would-be headaches from Node & NPM tooling and waiting for builds and tests and package updates. Exciting times ahead!
Using bun on a side project reinvigorated my love of software development during a relatively dark time in my life, and part of me wonders if I would have taken the leap onto my current path if it weren't for the joy and feeling of speed that came from working with bun!
Nah, Ive is cited on a bunch of the patents for Vision Pro core technologies, including the first inventor listed on the EyeSight display patent, filed in 2018, 6 years ago:
Hopefully something along these lines gets incorporated into visionOS before launch (or as a v2 fast-follow). Typing against a floating keyboard in thin air is not ideal!
Now they can start to compete more directly with things like Siri and soon Google’s Assistant on somewhat more equal footing, though neither OS provides quite the hooks for third party apps to directly subvert them, though maybe this will change with some of the more extreme antitrust provisions in motion in the European Union.
Yep, if you sign up via Azure OpenAI Service, you might get access sooner. Same exact API, just served directly through Azure, and likely to be maintained for longer.
I’m still holding out hope that vehicles like the Aptera (https://aptera.us) manage to make it to production and help buck this trend.
From a sheer efficiency POV, rooftop or grid-scale solar installations will always be more effective than solar on an EV, but I think you’re right: there’s something to be said for how effective automakers are at packaging technology and pushing the frontier of competition that could further reverberate throughout the industry.
For the average consumer, purchasing your next vehicle and having all of these capabilities integrated is so much more straightforward and accessible compared to retrofitting your home with solar, battery, and the electronics required for managing the system and dynamically interfacing with the grid. If you’re a renter, many of these conversions are simply out of the question.
We are seeing more solar add-on options on conventional vehicles, with the likes of Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Toyota Prius Prime including solar roof options. But they remain premium options rather than standard trims for now, as you mentioned.
Ah, yeah this landing page is optimized for new accounts. For new accounts that use the registration link on the page, we preload the YC prep project template on their accounts.
But you’re right, we should be able to devise a way to use a single link for both cases, new and existing users. We’ll try to tweak the setup here to better accommodate existing users!
One potential source of disruption here (though I’m sure many folks will likewise feel it is frustrating to be locked into a SaaS model), is we are starting to see several intriguing startups building browser-based CAD software that are serious contenders for “the Figma of Architecture/BIM” crown, with the likes of:
It remains to be seen if they will manage to out-compete the Goliath that is Autodesk or simply get acquired/assimilated, but it is exciting to see some fervent activity in this space.
Better yet if several of them take a “freemium” approach and students/hobbyists/freelancers are able to use a polished, user-friendly packaging of this incredible CAD technology for free (as in beer).
I love free software, open source, and amazing projects like Blender (it is a true anomaly & gem in the OSS world, re: professional-grade end-user applications), but sometimes the profit motive goes a long way towards creating delightful and approachable user experiences that empower people.
(Though I’m likewise rooting for an open source offering in this space to really take off!)
Betafi is building a next-generation platform to democratize user research and help product teams to co-create with their customers.
We empower organizations to understand their target customers and build usable interfaces with delightful UX by integrating research directly into their product development cycles, with fast turnarounds from finding the right participants to arriving at actionable insights.
As one of our Founding Engineers, you will help to build and scale the software powering the core Betafi platform across our web dashboard, live video toolkit, and mobile experiences.
What makes you a great fit:
- #1 You are a generalist, "full stack" product engineer, familiar with web technologies and able to contribute across the frontend and backend, undeterred from scoping and tackling systems-level challenges with an eye for ensuring a delightful end-user experience.
- #2 You have 3-5+ years of experience writing software professionally, ideally for SaaS tools or consumer-facing digital products.
- #3 You enjoy talking to customers to hear about their pain-points and translating them into high-impact engineering deliverables. As a small startup, each of us wears "the PM hat" in some capacity: you are keen to iterate on different product surfaces to delight our users.
- #4 You are excited to start as an "individual contributor" with the potential to grow into a leadership role over time (if interested): help with hiring and onboarding other engineers to the team, providing mentorship to junior staff in the future as we ramp up the business.
Stack: We use the Elixir programming language with the Phoenix Framework to power our backend services, and a mix of Phoenix LiveView and a more conventional React (TypeScript) codebase for rich interactions on the front-end. We rely on a variety of AWS and GCP APIs to power the Betafi platform.
To apply, please send an up-to-date:
- one-pager resume that covers technical projects you have delivered in the past and clarifies your involvement, technologies you are familiar with, etc.
- Personal website, GitHub profile, or any representative examples of code you have written recently that reflect your engineering capabilities

Seems like a viable, playful alternative to some existing collaborative whiteboarding tools like Miro as well as possibly even more specialized systems diagrams tools like Whimsical, Lucidchart, etc.
Curious to hear people’s thoughts and see how they wind up using for their software endeavors!
But they are explicitly not NIOSH approved and as mentioned have an ear loop design whereas seemingly all approved masks go around the head. Wish I could edit/remove the original posting.
My wife has been selling NIOSH-approved KN95 [1] masks to folks in the US for the past few months. First she tried to supply them directly to hospitals but ran into a harrowing amount of red tape. Then she listed them on eBay but got banned for “price gouging” despite listing at a lower rate than many of the approved sellers. Now she’s just selling the remaining inventory directly, and completely deterred from trying anything like this again because of all of the obstacles through this process.
