Legion Health (YC S21) is hiring a founding engineer (SF, in-person)

Legion Health (YC S21) operates a psychiatric practice and is building the AI-native operations layer for mental health care.

Microsoft has a problem: nobody wants to buy or use its shoddy AI products

microsoft-has-a-problem:-nobody-wants-to-buy-or-use-its-shoddy-ai-products

If there’s one thing that typifies Microsoft under CEO Satya Nadella‘s tenure: it’s a general inability to connect with customers.

No more O’Reilly subscriptions for me

For the last two years I’ve had an O’Reilly subscription. Their offer is quite attractive with unlimited access to books not only by O’Reilly but also Manning and others.
