I thought about buying a supercritical CO2 extraction machine from Alibaba and having a small business around making decaf beans for roasters, but the numbers didn't work out great. I believe it was around $20k usd for the medium sized ones.

I've read that workers are now refusing to wear masks for things like painting or sanding because of the peer pressure against wearing masks for Covid.

Looks promising. I would love to see a tool to convert existing programs to Unit.

This readme gives a much better idea of how it works: https://github.com/samuelmtimbo/unit/blob/main/src/docs/star...

This is another company making the same product, they call it OxyBridge https://virtechbio.com/

I have removed all SMS based 2FA from every account that allows it and you should too.

You'll have to reset them one by one.

Why not have it phone home to verify a subscription or a license key? Plenty of apps used to do this back in the day.

Looking forward to seeing the details on how they will handle revenue sharing with all of the people who contribute to them.

what's the path from LLMs to "true" general AI? is it "only" more training power/data or will they need a fundamental shift in architecture?

This could have been avoided just by calling it "Partial Self Driving" and then everything would be above board.

For those wondering... the tip hooks onto a belt... I had the same reaction.

They definitely could make it a lot more clear in the images.

I saw a picture of one of those giant suburban developments in Texas... like thousands of cookie cutter homes over a huge area. But I'm sure you could provide the same amount of living space and better amenities in a focused apartment building. There should be schools and restaurants and shops etc spread out over every floor. Or maybe like a 90's shopping mall with a 30 story apartment building on top. It just makes sense to me.

maybe someone should start the American Anti-Diabetes Association.

Considering how much businesses use Microsoft, that's one of the least ominous third parties to choose.

This will be just like a self driving car system which I will not name, where you are handed a giant footgun with the disclaimer that you are responsible for any mistakes or hallucinations it might make.

Features I would like: a country filter and a way to select which streaming services I have access to. And if I search for something show that it is not available with my filters.

It would be fun to pair this with an automated lab that could run experiments and feed the results into generating the next set of ideas.

I like thinking of LLMs as "word calculators." Which I think really encapsulates how they aren't "intelligent" as the marketing would have you believe but also show how important the inputs are.

Could you integrate a heat pump or solar tank pre-heater to this system and calculate how much it saves on gas? especially if you have on-demand pricing for electricity. it would be interesting to see it dynamically optimize depending on the price per BTU or some other metric.

both things can be true, apple has over a billion users

> Do users really want ...

The answer is clearly yes in a lot of markets, even if purpose-built apps might be better at a specific tasks, a single app that does dozens of things "well enough" is more convenient than having to juggle dozens of login infos and para-relationships with app developers (managing graymail etc).

Can you play it with a regular Go board?

The trick is to sell the vending machines and parts.

Reminds me of the proposal to flood the Qattara sea: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35957814

I thought insurance rates were also rising because of increased rates of natural disasters, but this just adds more pressure to it.

much like Tesla's Autopilot which cannot be responsible for an accident because you're supposed to be hands-on-wheel and alert at all times while using it.

I paid a broker fee and the day I was moving in the landlord told me it was a fee-free building.

A nuclear power plant generating 5gwh/year could capture around 4 million tons of CO2 per year at 1,200 kwh per ton. Emissions are in the billions of tons per year.

And it's a reason why "just build denser housing" is not a complete solution. More density makes an area more desirable, so prices will remain flat or in rare cases increase since the demand continues to outstrip supply. I believe the solution involves dramatically looser building regulations and major investment in public transit (essentially, get to Tokyo levels of density). Places like SF or NYC are in that uncanny valley of building just enough to keep demand high but not enough to drop prices.
