Expanding on this, from what i understand there aren't too many labs (understandably) that are able to grow extremophiles in lab conditions.

It would be great to run a bunch of experiments at various different conditions and see minimum and maximum on a variety of variables like salinity, acidity, heat, etc

Sam altman and elon at the same conference? I'd wanna come just to see that

I wish there were better more accessible tests available, that you could take as a consumer to show how much plastic you have accumalated in different parts of your body.

I saw bryan johnson take a test like that recently but couldn't find a vendor close to me that I could use. Gathering more data would be a great step in understanding the problem better

It was always a big bet for GM to invest heavily in cruise - right now it may not look like it was the best decision, but i still think its too early to tell waymo is serving passengers, and we are seeing strong consumer demand for self driving

The claim seems to be around deepseek using distallation to derive value from OpenAI's models https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_distillation

I like Taleb's books, but he does predict doom and gloom all the time - a broken clock is right twice a day after all

Pretty crazy that such a fundamental question the shape of the universe is still so unknown!

Also interested to see how else the idea of "Hearing the Shape of a Drum" can be used in other fields.

We experienced something similar - we were able to wrangle a $30k/year contract as one of our first contracts, but the expectations around the software were and continue to be incredibly high - we sort of wish he had had a few $100/mo customers first to iron out the UX, and just learn more about how to work with a midmarket/enterprise buyer.

Anyway we survived but we understand why companies move upmarket over time now haha.

This is something I've wanted to see for years - thanks so much for building this - is there a way to suggest edits? Perhaps a way to link a wikipedia account in order to create an article?

It would also be cool to have filters of pre history, Hunter Gatherer, Early Farming, Bronze age and so on!

the living "paycheck to paycheck" claim isn't quite true, this article does a good job breaking it down: https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/paycheck-to-paycheck-and-five-...

What happens to company shares that are traded on pisces if after the 5 year sandbox experiment the scheme is scraped?

Love the story about your journey sandy - its been great watching you stick through the pivots!

Could your software be used to create something like a specialized feed? For example like the newscatcher feed product (if you are familiar with them)

While I think its great there are movements like the "open source pledge" in the article, i think commercial open source software via the open core approach continues to work.

People can grumble about feature gating all they want but its helped build sustainable businesses that maintain projects, gitlab, mattermost, posthog etc

(and hopefully laudspeaker https://github.com/laudspeaker/laudspeaker too)

A friend works at an english football (soccer) club on the sponsorships team and yes money is definitely a big driver here!

Part of it is creating more sponsorship inventory - some brands can opt in for space on one of the jerseys that fit their budgets over others, or play around with sizing.

The big modalities we’ve been seeing are Chat, Diffs, In-painting, node based editors

since it "includes the remains of some soft tissues" could we extract the dna?

"AWS CEO Matt Garman, at an Oct. 17 all-hands meeting of the cloud computing unit, said nine out of 10 workers he had spoken with" - sounds a lil sus

"Altair, whose simulation software helps predict how products would work in the real world, fits Siemens's strategy of using its hardware and software to combine the real and digital worlds."

"One of these experiments is expected to involve exposing bricks made from simulated lunar soil to conditions in space. Should the tests prove successful, the bricks could be a key material used in the construction of a permanent lunar research station, which China hopes to complete by 2035, as it would in theory be more convenient than transporting building materials from Earth."

"Google said its chip, which it sells via service called an "instance," is about 60% more energy efficient than conventional CPU"

Looks like this organization aims to enable easy switching between providers, rather than create something similar openstack[1]

Muse cost only $640,000 and was built in less than a year, sounds incredibly efficient. I wonder how this compares to the costs of development for other startups in this space like ocklo [1]

honestly making siri event a little bit better (which as far as I can tell has stubbornly refused to improve over the last few years) would make me more exicted about apple intelligence than all the text summarization and rewriting features

Been working on our startup laudspeaker (an alternative to firebase cloud messaging) [1] as well as trying to write more! I like science fiction thrillers similar to what michael crichton used to write and have been working on a story called Panopticon around encryption, spycraft, and three letter agencies [2]

As we are considering adding AI features to our product, I wanted to do a quick overview of new UI/UX patterns we've been seeing so wrote my thoughts here!

very cool thanks for the link - do we know of any other photographers with similar styles?

Would love to hear if you think I missed any other new UX patterns with the genAI boom!

We've been waiting for more JSON support for Clickhouse - the new type looks promising - and the dynamic column, and no need to specifcy subtypes is particularly helpful for us.

Looks like he did not cheat!

we worked on a similar problem before but took a completely protocol based approach, essentially using a protocol built on top of UDT to speed up data transmission.

I'm interested in how this work performs in environments with high packet loss.
