Yesterday, @zaczuo shared an idea about delivering packages from space. To me, that seems quite sci-fi and financially demanding to actually pull off. Today, I m reading that Bezos predicts millions of people could be living in space by 2050.
How realistic is this scenario, given that the last time we set foot on the Moon was more than 50 years ago? (And above all, I feel like we still can t solve basic problems on Earth, let alone expand into space.)
So I was on walk the other day and was thinking about how we've seen lots of great technologies recently but that the best use cases hadn't been created yet. One idea that I had is a personal home AI device that is upgradeable, secure and mindful of your privacy. Connect your home and mobile devices to it and it can monitor all your files, documents and media without it being sent to third parties who might resell your data or use it for marketing. It could even do things we haven't trained it on like discover patterns in our walking habits, suggest we upscale or colorize old photos of family members using neural networks.
In my opinion, the startup scene is not evenly supported, and some countries are not so passionate about business. I'm from Central Europe, and I don't feel any extra entrepreneurial spirit here. From my observations, countries like France, and Germany (maybe Poland) have always been mainly startup-oriented.
In terms of more favourable taxes for entrepreneurs, Cyprus and Estonia came to mind.
But maybe I'm wrong and I'm overlooking local communities.
Whether you're a maker, a founder, or an employee, I want to hear how your product is unique compared to the rest of the market. Why did you differentiate your product the way that you did?
I've been building a product that runs its AI models fully on-device. There are no API calls and it works offline. It started as a privacy decision, but it changed a lot more than I expected.
What got better:
No per-request API costs, so I can offer generous usage without worrying about margins.
Latency is predictable and there's no dependency on someone else's uptime.
Two of my favorites are: "Rome wasn't built in a day, but they laid bricks every hour." Had a launch day that didn't go as well as I'd hoped. But this quote has been bouncing around in my head, reminding me that constant and focused work will get me there. No matter how small. "Three foot world."
The only things I can control are within the three feet in front of me, so that's all thats worth my time.
Posting on linkedin X and facebook feels like shouting into a void lately. You spend hours on a post just for it to get buried in ten minutes with zero clicks back to your site.
Free listing sites don't seem to drive any real signups either.
For anyone who actually built organic traffic recently without a budget what channel is actually worth putting effort into right now?
