Looks nice. I didn't see any time series use for trend analysis, will you be adding support for that? I think that's the area where I've seen the most demand for this type of assisted data exploration.
I also noticed that you have your org id in your LLM trace - does that mean that you are trusting your agent to limit the orgs it queries? If so that seems quite dangerous as it could be tainted by prompt injection, no?

> "DNA vaccines have never been deployed because of serious concerns about the patient’s genes being modified by the vaccine."
This is a false statement.
Here's an article debunking these kinds of claims: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-covid-19-vaccin...
From the article: "Mark Lynas, a visiting fellow at Cornell University’s Alliance for Science group, debunked the idea that a DNA vaccine could genetically modify an organism. Lynas told Reuters that no vaccine can genetically modify human DNA.
“That’s just a myth, one often spread intentionally by anti-vaccination activists to deliberately generate confusion and mistrust,” he said. “Genetic modification would involve the deliberate insertion of foreign DNA into the nucleus of a human cell, and vaccines simply don’t do that. Vaccines work by training the immune system to recognize a pathogen when it attempts to infect the body - this is mostly done by the injection of viral antigens or weakened live viruses that stimulate an immune response through the production of antibodies.”"

Totally agree. The creativity is still there, it just shifted to the latest medium that's easily available. Nobody could make cheap quick videos back before iphones and certainly couldn't view them easily on the web until YouTube came along.
And on that point it seems that Flash helped to kill itself by accelerating ubiquitous web video.

Thanks! Seeing this reminded me of this basketball being dropped off the edge of a dam:

"If the company sells for a more modest $250M, between taxes and the dilution that inevitably will have occurred, your 1% won't net you as much as you'd intuitively think. It will probably be on the same order as what you might have made from RSUs at a large public company, but with far far more risk involved. Don't take my word for it though; it's pretty simple math to run the numbers for a spread of sale prices and dilution factors for yourself before joining, so do so."
This is key when you are thinking about joining a startup. If you can land a job at $BigTechCompany that pays a bonus and RSUs that refresh every year, it's likely a much safer bet and will have much lower risk.
