It was me - I will say that wardriving rickroll would be complete overkill

There are many editors that compete with Premiere, which at this point is a janky unusable mess for me. Resolve has been a joy to work with.

I don't think vaporware as a term really applies here. Sora is real and I've seen it used live - it actually works and it is pretty astounding. I don't know how well scaling it for the public will go but they definitely built the thing.

I lent him my preproduction model

he's actually using a preproduction model I lent hin

Oh wow. Loved coderpad prior to the sale. Just not the same since.

Please do more business related podcasts. Your indie hacker podcast are some of my favorite all time.

Are you involved at Daylight?

[akanet → tiffanyh]

I actually recorded an interview with Patrick a couple weeks back, I'll get around to posting it sooner or later.

Thanks for the kind words about coderpad, and I am an investor in daylight, surprisingly

[huhkerrf → tiffanyh]

That's funny, I've been much more inclined to use Coderpad since the sale.

The creator's behaviour towards my colleagues when he would write in to get support was overly aggressive and borderline abusive, and I committed to not using any product he was a part of. Using a throwaway for an obvious reason not to out the company, but it was bad.

Once he left, it once again became an option.

The tablet is Wacom enabled and has a nice surface finish for the tactile experience of writing

[abdullahkhalids → akanet]

Has anyone worked with Wacom hardware. How difficult is it to integrate it with a new product?

[JadeNB → akanet]

Thank you. Do you know anything about the latency? Note-taking tablets are an area where tiny differences in latency can make huge differences to usability, or at least to "pleasant-to-use"ability.

[gcr → JadeNB]

For comparison, Boox's EPD (display firmware) has a custom mode that enables very low-latency refresh of a small localized area. This is used exclusively to speed up stylus drawing.

The latency of pen/pencil sketches on Boox devices is near nonexistent, similar to or better than iPad latency but theirs is handled in the display controller hardware without traveling through the OS interrupt handler stack. It's really good. With their scratchy matte screen protector and a LAMY body around the wacom nib, it's really like writing on paper.

If DC can pull something like that off, I'll be really impressed!

[avhon1 → JadeNB]

The display is a (reflective) LCD, so the display latency should be low.

[akanet → JadeNB]

There is no detectable latency. My girlfriend painted a landscape scene in the stock drawing app, came out pretty well on her first try.

Thanks

I remember seeing you debate Jason Calacanis from the all in podcast on this week in startups on this exact topic. You are probably one of the most confident, well spoken people I have ever heard on a podcast. You also don't derive your comfort from the people around you, so you didn't feel the need to laugh away awkward moments. It's a great watch. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5hUT8VZNvm8&t=3488s&pp=ygUhVGh...

There are many direct consequences of people being able to directly transform text into textured 3d models, and even vaster indirect consequences if one pauses to reflect. A tight feedback system with good cohesion could revolutionize, art, design, mechanical engineering, video games, etc, etc.

That prop 13 is not agreed upon by residents of California's population as a major destructive force here is precisely their point.

It has been both absolutely disastrous and incredibly popular.

[w4 → akanet]

Disastrous in your view. In the view of many homeowners, not so much.

There are competing interests and multiple perspectives to most of these issues where one position is not absolutely right as compared to the other.

On: The case for single-stair multifamily

[akanet]

You are mistaken, modern housing construction in major cities is far below historical numbers

[wolverine876 → akanet]

I've seen plenty of high-end apartments and condos, etc., but that's a small market and therefore low overall quantity.
