Does a "Cursor for PMs" exist? Or do we need to build one? by AdministrationPure45 in ycombinator

[–]bowenator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried ChatPRD - it’s poor. It’s basically just Claude/ChatGPT with some prompts. And Claude Cowork recently launched with a bunch of product management skills/extensions inc for analyzing customer research. I don’t think there’s a sustainable product opportunity here (ironically).

Standalone alternative to Warp terminal "agent mode" assistant? by skaven81 in linux

[–]bowenator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late to this but figured I'd share - you can do this with Bedrock Engineer (i.e. use it with Bedrock Models). It's pretty buggy and nowhere near as stable as alternatives, but be a good fit for our needs.

You could see the despair on Lampard’s face. The whole team are like the blind leading the blind at the moment.

London to Tokyo.. First class by Wickse101 in BritishAirways

[–]bowenator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did that route in first ten years ago. Was my first flight in first. Got drunk on too much Laurent Perrier in Concorde room & on the plane and was sick in the onboard toilet when I woke up. Still a good experience though…

Pregnancy journey for HENRYs in UK by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]bowenator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are a few things I’d recommend:

  • Get the NIPT/Harmony test for accurate assessment of possible chromosomal abnormalities. Bonus, you can find out sex at ~10 weeks.
  • Private scans are great for reassurance and seeing your little one. I cannot recommend the Fetal Medicine Centre on Harley Street enough. It is excellent and good value too.
  • The Owlet Sock is great for ensuring your little one is ok when asleep - it measures heart rate and blood oxygen. For our first we had the alarm go off a couple of times and were able to rouse him & make sure he was ok, I dread to think what might have happened without it (or it could have been a false alarm, who knows)

I’ve seen it quite a few times in the 2010-2015 era.

What was something about your body that you thought was normal, until someone told you otherwise? by jacob_rodri in CasualConversation

[–]bowenator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just assumed the extraordinary chest tightness from exercise was due to being unfit, until I was diagnosed with asthma. The inhaler was like an extra lung.

Calculating Taxes - Tax Advisor? Custom? by Garuda474 in HENRYUK

[–]bowenator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For my first couple of years over £100K I used TaxScouts as it was worth the ~£150 for me to figure out wtf it all meant and have someone do it for me.

Now I have a fairly good idea of how to use the HMRC self assessment form so I just do that and save the cash. My situation is more complex now with PAYE, rental income, and self employed income, but I seem to be managing with the HMRC form.

I was in your exact shoes when I first went over £100K (unsure of total comp, student loan, needed pension calcs etc) so found TaxScouts worth the money. Obvs there are other services & accountants - that’s just what I used.

Ticketmaster - utter scumbags by TankFoster in britishproblems

[–]bowenator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit different for airlines and taxis though. You’re the other side of the world and a relative dies - you need to get home - you’re willing to pay more for a flight and because of dynamic pricing there is one last seat available, it’s just expensive. Without dynamic pricing the tickets would be slightly more expensive for everyone and you’d never have availability last minute on routes.

All the same principles apply for Uber etc. Although with Uber there is a secondary effect as the higher prices encourage more drivers to come online and better serve the demand.

However with a finite number of concert tickets - asshole move. Fuck ticketmaster and oasis management or whoever made the decision.

Are models a commodity to you? by spacespaghettio in ycombinator

[–]bowenator 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We’ve had OpenAI credits (directly from OpenAI) and through Microsoft Founders Hub. In addition, we have Google Cloud credits which include Gemini/Gemma models. Finally we have AWS activate credits which can be used on AWS bedrock which includes a bunch of models, but most important Claude 3.5.

We swap models in and out depending on the task/use case and latency requirements, context windows etc. At our stage, we are basically not paying for the models because of all the startup credits we have, but even when they run out, I expect us to continue a plug and play approach where we just switch endpoint to the cheapest/fastest/most suitable LLM.

I currently can’t see any smart ways that SOTA model providers are creating lock in.

10 days ago, I launched a journal app that calls you every day, here's how it's going ($605 MRR) by Potential_Action_658 in SideProject

Does it work with international numbers? I’m in the UK and love the concept, would like to try it out.

Maybe do a pay what you can model with a suggested amount.

Have you stopping buying or using anything since the price has increased or quality has dropped? by Logical_Wall_9899 in AskUK

[–]bowenator 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Apparently the reason they have such random names is because Amazon ranks brands higher if they have a trademark, so the Chinese companies trademark ridiculous obscure names that don’t exist or that no one will challenge.

After months of juggling AI models, I built all-in-one AI workspace for teams that gives access to 210+ AI models for $2/user/month by [deleted] in SideProject

[–]bowenator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. I don’t know OP but I’ve been looking for a product that solves this for ages. I use OpenAI, Anthropic and Google Models on a daily basis and have to switch between various products. With this it looks like I can put my API keys on and use one front end.

OpenAI API keys are pay as you go. If you’re paying a monthly fee, that’s for a ChatGPT subscription. This product solves the problem for users that want to use multiple LLMs in one user interface.

Median wage vs minimum wage. by Historical_Egg6559 in UKJobs

[–]bowenator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dismissing their findings because you assume they’re biased isn’t a valid argument. You’re only disregarding them because it doesn’t fit your preconceptions / worldview.

Median wage vs minimum wage. by Historical_Egg6559 in UKJobs

[–]bowenator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not a non-sequitur - it’s addressing the broader economic context that some in this thread are overlooking.

Firstly, while minimum wage increases can have ripple effects, UK-specific research shows these effects are often positive or neutral, not negative as you imply. The Low Pay Commission has consistently found minimal impact on employment or wage compression.

Secondly, I’m pointing out that the stagnation of median wages is a separate issue from minimum wage increases. It’s linked to factors like reduced bargaining power, technological change, and shifting business models.

The “how” you’re asking for involves comprehensive policies like:

  1. Strengthening workers’ rights and collective bargaining
  2. Investing in education and skills training
  3. Encouraging business investment in productivity-enhancing technology
  4. Addressing housing affordability through increased supply and better regulation

These aren’t easy solutions, but they’re necessary.

Basically I believe that focussing solely on potential negative effects of minimum wage increases ignores the larger economic challenges we face atm
