I am a woodworker mostly but do it all on pencil and paper. That said I have a 3d printer and cnc and fusion360 with the Claude mcp connector has been pretty amazing in my tests. One more year and it will be a new world.

I have gotten just "ok" at CAD. I'm not as productive as I should be because I avoid it. Really looking forward to this.

Totally not what the numbers say in TFA. Big shift from beer to liquor (which I presume to mean cocktails for a big share of that.)

My idea for innovative self storage pricing: offer free month 1, $1 month 2, $2 month three, $4 month four and so on. Very soon it obviously will become untenable, and you will either stop paying and get your shit out of there.

I probably would be adversely selected by people who really only need a couple months of storage. But would force people to work against their instincts to store all their trash.

Right but I do this in VS code and it does the same?

But it does have some very cool features built in I haven't seen rolled in elsewhere. Sessions can talk to one another out of the box. Two left arrows and you see all the sessions. Automatic remote control to pick up a session from another computer or even on your phone. So convenient!

I could patch this together with Herdr and OMP and some custom server stuff but it works right out of the box!?

Recommendations? I have an openrouter account. Just don't know what might be good.

I scrape them from their crappy VOIP system as WAV files, then send them through the API....

I built a small little app for a company which transcribes all their customer service calls, does an AI review, makes a podcast of the most problematic ones (they LOVE this.) Probably 20 hours a day of transcription.

What are people using for cheap hosted models for this? (I don't want to run my own infrastructure.)

I'm currently using Gemini Flash Lite. I don't need real time, it's all batched, clear english... still costs some small $ a month. Figured it should be able to be reduced if there are cheaper models out there....

Nobody understands Bayesian approach. Look at Covid -- people FREAKED out when we updated guidance based on learning new information.

What's the best harness to use with it?

Honestly the "charge by data" is probably missing some things. We have quite a few users on the free tier. I found out my ops guys were optimizing the data to keep on the free tier because it would jump from zero to [something still reasonable] but would be a multiple of seats. They would pay you SOMETHING but the big jump to MORE seemed too much for them lol.

They are on Grist by my recommendation after searching for tools. I just checked in on it after 6 months and they have built their entire manufacturing process management on it... Good stuff.

Second Grist it is very cool we use a lot of it. You can run python as a column/ cell and it doesn't have a lot of the limitations of Airtable. Usage tiers are ridiculously large. Free api. I am almost hoping they charge more so they stay in business.

I wonder if it will work well as a "travel" computer? I could see leaving my laptop at home and taking this and a keyboard? Also it looks like it would be fabulous as an e-reader too, so I can drop Kindle and replace with keyboard in the bag.

That said I don't want to carry it or use it as my daily driver phone as I try not to use a phone in general...
