filenoxon Cape Station, future home of an enhanced geothermal power plant, in Utah

Most wells at Cape Station are between 8,000 and 9,000 feet deep, and the deepest one extends a mind-blowing 15,000 feet below the surface. That is about the depth you'd get to if you stacked 50 Statues of Liberty on top of each other!

For those who prefer a less American-centric metric: 8,000–9,000 feet is approximately 2.5 kilometers. 15,000 feet is about 4.5 kilometers — roughly the height of 14 Eiffel Towers stacked on top of each other!

filenoxon Show HN: SlickGPT

As with other OpenAI based applications, I don't feel comfortable sharing my private API key with an application I don't know. Especially when the webpage isn't telling me what this app is about. I suggest adding a small demo video or at least adding some bullets on what this app is trying to solve.

It's a shame that the screencast has no sound. I was curious about what it would sound like. I could try it myself via the netlify app but I don't feel very comfortable sharing my API key somewhere...
