I'm guessing it's more likely that OpenAI just want's the data that hundreds of millions of users are searching for vs. the much smaller group of 'technical' users niche users who are already using ChatGPT.


If someone from Facebook Ads is reading this, can you please reach out to me? hi at my username.com. There's a bug in your "suspicious log in detected" system and I'm trapped in a customer support loop and no one is able to properly escalate the situation.


So where do you look for jobs?


The usual suspects: LinkedIn, Indeed, Workable and a few other local job boards. I'm part of a professional contractor network too, which helps a lot.


Can you help share about this network? I just got laid off, part of a massive layoff cycle in my company and I am looking for some opportunities.


Do this with the Apple App Store! “App Store Optimization” is a huge business, and something simple like this (with suggestions on what you should try - perhaps a premium feature?)

I’d sign up instantly


The only reason I built Birdy is because I'm totally a fan of the platform :D

I'm not so much a fan of the App Store platform.

As far as Twitter Profile A/B Testing goes, it is in my plans to add AI-based suggestions (based on the top performing profile versions) :)


go with what you know! easy to get distracted by shiny objects, stick with Twitter!


That is the plan Mike! And I'd rather have fun while building it :D


I think this is supported in the App Store since iOS 15.


It doesn't seem to be available for the Mac app store however :/


Yeah, the Mac app store progresses much slower than the iOS store for whatever reason.


The same thing happened to me. I'm using Chrome on a mac.


I'm not American (Canadian living in Germany) and I have to say that I find using cups/spoons is much easier than pulling out a scale and weighing everything. Just grab a measuring cup / spoon (every house has a set of standard sized measuring cups and spoons) fill it up to the right amount and dump it in.


Cups work great for certain things, such as a cup of water, sugar, flour, or peanuts. It gets difficult in other situations though, like trying to measure a cup of spinach, strawberries, or ice, because the measurement greatly varies depending on how the items are packed or arranged in the space.


Measuring volume is not great for flour for the same reason, it contains very different amounts of air depending on whether it’s packed or sifted.


Which is why most recipes say something like "1 cup of flour, sifted" - you have to measure it, then sift it.


That’s so much more work than just weighing it.


Uh...


Using a scale is even easier, especially for things like bread, you can just pour ingredients directly into your bowl until you hit the right amount, zero it and move onto the next thing. No guesswork of trying to fill a cup, no separate measuring device needed, just pour and tare.

It also solves to many issues with ingredients that will just never have equal density, flour variances, packing brown sugar by hand, etc are things of the past.


Another great spot is stuff like butter where you wind up cutting off different sizes all the time, and always have a few assorted scraps kicking around, using a scale solves that, just pile scraps up til you get the right amount.


Just use a german measuring cup which has like 30 different scales for everything you might want to measure in volume and weight, e.g. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01BAU2N62/ ?

That’s what we commonly use which is easier to use than just weighing everything, but still just as accurate.


But you have to admit, a gram of flour and a gram of sugar are very strange units of volume. Better to just use millilitres or cups or something.


Well they allow you to measure with a measuring cup, or with a scale, whatever you prefer, and easily allow scaling a recipe up or down :)


Not every house has a set of standard cups and spoons. We leave a scale on our counter and when were mixing ingredients, we put the bowl on the scale, add and tare.


I think it depends on the recipe. For baking, I find the scale easier: add flour, hit tare, add sugar, hit tare, etc.

For a recipe where ingredients go in at different times and require different prep, and measurements are approximate anyway, weighing is more trouble.


How do you fill a cup with apple slices?


It's quite easy to fill a cup with apple slices. You won't get an accurate, reproducible measurement this way, but the procedure itself isn't difficult. If accuracy isn't that important, then it works okay.


Carefully, if you don't want to end up with applesauce.


You can set maximum spend limits :)



Thanks for trying us out :) Glad to be your first supporter!


I've had the complete opposite experience in Berlin. In Berlin, most of the "houses" here are 5 story walk ups - and DHL drivers (the main delivery service here) are so lazy they don't even bother ringing the door bell. Instead, if you are lucky, they leave your package at a neighbours house and tell you where it is. Usually they drop it off at some terrible centre where you have to go pick it up (defeating the purpose of getting something delivered), or even worse dropping it off somewhere and not telling you where!

Amazon so far actually delivers the package... when they don't contract it out to DHL.


Awesome idea! Thanks :)
