It would have been cheaper to just ask Claude to port it to react-router :)

I am a motivational leader with strong sense of ownership, always building trust with others. After developing software for 10 years in a zero-to-one startup, I served as a Product and Engineering Leader in Daptiv (acquired by Planview), AWS, and Smartsheet. I care as much about developing people as I do about developing products customers use and love. I still can’t stop coding in my spare time. I am a regular open source contributor and a top 4% overall contributor on Stack Overflow.

Interesting about "supplementation of vitamin D-replete individuals does not provide demonstrable health benefits". The OP article does clearly call out that the benefits of vitamin D are in cases of _vitamin D deficiency_. It goes on to state that there is a "worldwide vitamin D deficiency pandemic" and mentions that 32% of children and adults have a circulating concentration of 25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL (i.e. vitamin D deficient).
So I think the broader point of the article was that many of us are vitamin D deficient, and those of us that are, have increased health risk, and that's why we need to supplement our vitamin D.

The OP article basically concludes the same thing for those of us above and below 33° latitude.

You have to wonder now… How do the machines really know what tasty wheat tastes like?

What sharp edges are you referring to with statefulsets?

Shouldn't this be considered an incident at https://status.ledger.com/ ??

For accuracy all apps under $1M in revenue can get 15% since 2020: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/small-business-program...
Also, subscriptions are charged at 30% for the first year, which then drops to 15% for subsequent years.
When we sold software through resellers years before the App Store we often paid 40%-45%. We found it absurd at first too, but we learned that large businesses only bought from certain resellers or the resellers could sell into businesses we couldn’t reach (a sales staff in business or marketing to consumers). In some rare cases we negotiated to 30% so I don't find these fees out of the norm.

I had a similar question and after reading far too much I put together https://coinpoet.com
I'd love to have others here try it out and give me some feedback on how I could make it useful. It's only a couple weeks in but already seems valuable to me. What am I missing?

Very useful for me to read this (and look up some of the mentioned concepts). Thank you!

Well done. Now that I've seen your getting started video (https://aiconfig.lastmileai.dev/docs/getting-started) this seems obvious. I feel really silly that I copy & paste from the browser back into a file just so I can save different prompts and results to see what I liked best. Thanks for sharing and for open sourcing!

Thanks. I hadn't dug into that link, but I did based on your comment. It is a Congressional investigation that is rooted on a report from The Markup [1] that, as you note isn't about an accidental breach by Google, but one where multiple companies send extensive PII to Google about site visitors. While not necessarily a "breach", I think this lead of personal data plays to Signal article's point though. The Markup article's git repo with HAR files of what was sent to Google was convincing.[2]
