I also see a new AI agent workflow framework/platform/library every week and to me the differentiation of this project is clear in the logging, orchestration and auto-scaling. Of course, I don't need trigger.dev to win the market, I was just looking for exactly this for my own project and haven't found anything else like it.
Apple bought a Swedish startup called C3 and their became 3D part of Apple Maps. That startup was a spin-off from Saab Aerospace, who had developed a vision system for terrain-following missiles. Saab ran a project with the municipal innovation agency in Linköping and the result was that they decided this tech should be possible to find civilian use cases for. C3 decided to fly small Cessnas in grids across a few major cities and also Hoover Dam, and built a ton of code on top of the already extremely solid foundation from Saab. The timing was impeccable (now many years ago) and they managed to get Microsoft, Apple and Samsung into a bidding war which drove up the price. But it was worth it for Apple to have solid 3D in Apple Maps and the tech has stood the test of time.
This is an amazing classic which basically created the genre. It goes incredibly deep. And when you think it can’t go deeper, it still does: http://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/
Very nice explanation. Not oversimplifying and not too detailed. Could anyone care to explain smart contracts in the same balanced fashion? I always struggle to convey my understanding.
In the future, remember that you heard it from me first: The gulf stream is now coming to a stop.
The warm water that usually is chilled enough to sink to the bottom and be flushed back to the Mexican Gulf to be warmed up again, is now gathering around the north pole instead. It will be a number of warm years until the entire gulf stream comes to a complete stop, then it will be cooold. Winter is coming.
You should visit Iceland and the Nordics while it's still nice there in the summers.
We have used Lookback since the beginning for our app development, couldn't recommend it more. The team are excellent people based in Sweden and the US.
In Sweden the same social safety net applies to everyone, even entrepreneurs (gasp!). There is basically no more risk in starting a company than in being employed.
In essence, the US government (not it's people) could be regarded as the global bully. It's probably because bullying works and is economical. It makes sense for them and the world where the US would have to apologize for it's behaviour is not the world we live in, no matter how much we would want to.
But isn't it also a slight sign of weakness? Comparing to China, it's apparent that US more often resorts to bullying tactics. Especially if you count in military operations in that spectrum. If the US were an economical power the bullying would not be more economical than a more long-term, silent and behind the scenes overtaking of the global economy. Which is what China is engaged in and US has been in the past.
Perhaps there could be some continuous rollover with all data older than five years being made available through the Internet Archive. I'm no longer affiliated with Twingly but of course know them very well. I can make a proposal! It would be a great idea and I guess for Twingly it could mean increased brand recognition.
My former startup Twingly http://twingly.com has hundreds of millions of blog posts stored (everything collected since 2006) in 128 MySql shards with a unified query interface. The last few months of data are indexed and searchable for free from their website, but the entire archive is kept forever.
What is (or should be) the real driver here is the difference between striving for success and striving for creating value. If you strive for success it always feels as if there's a long way there, no matter how far you get. You can rarely see the best way forward because it's mostly depending on chance.
But if you strive for creating value you can start in an instant, by just being helpful to someone or (in the case of being a tech entrepreneur) building a small web service that you know that a handful of people find valuable.
With time, striving for creating value will take you on a straighter path to success than if you were aiming for success all along the way.
