I've tried a few online venues but none of them worked. If you met with your co-founder(s) online, where was it?

On the whole, I'm interested in education and career advising. Thanks!

Large language models are becoming increasingly capable reasoners. They can identify patterns across huge datasets and derive complex conclusions from established premises. But genuine scientific breakthroughs often require something different: reframing the problem and proposing premises that did not previously exist.

Google DeepMind researcher Tom Zahavy separates scientific discovery into three modes of inference: induction finds patterns in data; deduction derives conclusions from rules; and abduction proposes a new explanatory framework for a surprising result.

Today's LLMs are strong at induction and rapidly improving at deduction. The paper argues that they still lack the abductive jump needed to originate new foundational hypotheses. Given Einstein's equivalence principle, a model might derive much of the later mathematics. The harder step is inventing that principle when observations are sparse.

Why this matters

Hey everybody,

Yigit here! I am developing a personal finance app mainly based on what features I wish an app to have and it is on google play closed test now. Here is a quick summary:
The app's main value proposition is being able to keep track of your expenses 'automatically'. The rationale behind is the fact that in my country banking laws restrict individual's access to open banking apis. That is, you cannot have an API access to your bank to exchange information and keep track of your expenses unless you are corporate. According to my research, this feature is available in US and EU but only with certain restrictions in the latter.

I thought it could be sutaible time to ask the community about their needs about such an app and can guide me a long way before I commit further. Would you be so kind enough to answer below questions? Any replies are appreciated and thanks in advance.

1. Do you use personal finance app?

2. Could you please share your the most essential must-have features of the personal finance app of your choise and tell me why?

3. Under which circumstances would you give another app a try?

4. What would be the ideal price point for such a service in your perspective?

Many people who want to achieve the Product of the Day badge prefer to schedule their product for a less busy day (aka, when there is less competition), but also less site traffic and product testing.

You may lose a little promotional opportunity this way.

Launched my product on sunday and was ecstatic to see the positive comments i received.
Was a bit confused shortly after though that people were talking about their experience with paid features but we hadn't had a single subscriber.
Now I have checked the logs and not a single person has even tested the product.
Does this platform write fake responses to make you think you are receiving interaction?

Been working in B2B brand growth for a while now, and one pattern keeps showing up: founders think "premium" means adding more, more foil stamping, more inserts, more finishes.

But the brands that actually feel premium usually do less, just with more precision. A clean die cut, one deliberate material choice, consistent color across every touchpoint. That restraint is what reads as expensive, not the extra decoration.

Curious what others here think. If you've built or scaled a brand, what's one packaging or presentation decision that actually moved the needle for how premium you felt to customers? And what's one thing you tried that looked good on paper but didn't land?

I look at my GitHub profile and sometimes wonder if I'm doing this wrong

Here's what I currently maintain, solo:

• WP Bones a Laravel-like framework for WordPress plugins. PHP, Composer, Blade templates. 169 stars, v2.0.3, active since 2018.

• 20+ Mantine UI Extensions React components for Mantine: Parallax (Apple TV card effect), Split Pane, Window (draggable/resizable), Rings Progress (Apple Watch style), QR Code, Onboarding Tour, and more. TypeScript, published on npm.

• FinderGit a native macOS app that turns Finder into a Git-aware file browser. SwiftUI, no Electron, with inline diffs, Git actions, and AI commit messages. Free, in public beta.

• octoscope a terminal dashboard for GitHub. Go + BubbleTea, with 7 themes (including a CRT phosphor mode), single binary via Homebrew.

Four languages. Four ecosystems. Four very different user bases. One person.

AI is growing faster than ever, and honestly, it feels like we re riding a giant wave of creativity and innovation!
From generative art to powerful language models, automation at work, and AI-powered healthcare breakthroughs it s amazing how much is happening.
But here s the cool part: different things spark excitement for different people. Maybe it s a tool that made a tough job easier. Maybe it s a crazy new concept that opened your mind to fresh possibilities. Maybe it s just that "OMG" feeling you get when you see AI pull off something wild (like my Auntie, who literally gasped the first time she saw ChatGPT could calculate calories of her plates! ).

I'd love to hear what s making you most excited about AI right now! Big or small moments, drop them below and let's discuss together.
