I didn’t realise his checkup was public [1]

I thought there would be more around neuro in there. Interesting that both recent presidents are (purportedly) non drinkers.

That’s nice colour. I’d love to find somewhere that acts as the “neighbourhoods lounge” in SF now.

FBI seizures as platform risk

Disclaimer: I like indoor plants.

Wouldn’t you need a very large number of indoor plants to bring C02 sub ambient levels with - a human in the room exhaling C02 - compared to just having an open window and cycling the air.

just because you can doesn’t mean you should

No one calls timeout in crypto and it’s just an ERC-20

It’s fairly illiquid on most non bucket shop exchanges though

I’ve also read this and I can’t explain why in the US it’s like a completely different meal compared to anywhere outside that I’ve tried it.

A McDonald’s in France costs twice as much where a coffee costs less than half as much.

You also don’t need to use a napkin to eat the burger in one of those places.

anyone have an example comparison of the economics of manufacturing Drug A on earth vs in space with launch and reentry costs included? Is the yield improved that much for certain pharmaceuticals? Is it because we can just yeet waste substances towards the sun?

“As of 2021, the most frequent type of adulteration of olive oil is that oil of lower quality is mixed into it.[24] Adulterated oil is usually no more serious than passing off inferior, but safe, products as superior olive oil, however in 1981 almost 700 people died, it is believed, as a consequence of consuming rapeseed (canola) oil adulterated with aniline intended for use as an industrial lubricant, but sold as olive oil in Spain (see toxic oil syndrome).”

In a very similar vein, a projected called Starknet recently airdropped tokens to early adopters/developers/supporters, the claim process for developers was tied to the GitHub names.

Two issues arose:

- GitHub names can change, this lead to race to squat names that had rights to the airdrop for any since changed names

- it’s incentivised those who are “farming” airdrops, ie creating multiple personas/wallets in an attempt to get larger allocations, to now add making low value pull requests to GitHub projects

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you

Fantastic quote:

Though we’re merit neutral, I’d note that the underlying assets in the metals ETPs have consumer and industrial uses, while in contrast bitcoin is primarily a speculative, volatile asset that’s also used for illicit activity including ransomware,[4] money laundering,[5] sanction evasion,[6] and terrorist financing.[7]

To poke a nest, which other assets are used for the aforementioned activities

Very much agree the incentives aren't fully aligned.

From a bug hunters perspective, certain issues are often underpaid or marked as non-issues (and then subsequently fixed without paying out) so it’s in their interest to find a chain of issues or explore to show real impact.

Then from the programmes perspective you have to content with gpt generated reports for complete non issues so I can also understand why the might be quick to dismiss without hard impact evidence rather than a “potentially could be used to”

I’m sure someone with a gen ai product would love some discount compute

from that same thread:

“Lost all my respect for @SureSwiftCap. They sent a trademark infringement to Shopify saying that "back-in-stock" apps are infringing their wordmark "Back In Stock".

I guess all the "back-in-stock" apps on Shopify got the same notice.”

Such limited time on the planet and having to deal with people like this.

I guess YC has a vested interest in SF being a liveable and safe city which seems reasonable.

Likewise and you seemingly have to wait until the end of the month for invoicing (and activation?) 3.5 doesn’t work for my use case and so I’m just having to loop queries to run up billing for no purpose.

I mean I’d love to be able to actually get access to the GPT4 API

where’s a good place to lease the IPs directly, going through vps providers I’m paying ballpark 2-3 usd per month per ipv4

were you training at the same time? any noticeable effects if so?

we trade a little life expectancy and comfort in airplanes but outside of that there’s a lot of upside so to speak

Yeah lots, lack of dependancy issues or having to deal with package managers when trying to deploy something quickly or after not touching it for a while is refreshing

Can you post the link to the hearing

I’ve seen Lime have the inverse (ie non parking zones) in various US cities where you will be warned then billed (I think $50! in Venice beach) if you finish the ride.

If you want some further reading on him, the man who solved the market, is not a bad read

Another worthwhile watch from the SPAC king Chamath

It seems insane to me these people dump on retail and their followers and continue to stand up in public.

You can also side load the original Doom 1 + 2 wads and play them on the Oculus Quest and it’s as good as you’d imagine

Also a chest X-ray to check for TB, a lazy question to the crowd - could that not also be performed via blood test?
