Excited to see this here! Only yesterday I used it to create an interactive native-like notification my coding agents use to ping me when they push a PR. I had tried a few different libraries over the past month but only hs had the ability to render custom panes over maximized windows.

Will be using it for more automation tools moving forward.

The problem is that dealing with regulators takes years and millions of dollars, reducing competition and societal benefit. He's quoting $200m in additional health costs borne mostly by Medicare/Medicaid. Regulations aren't a useful part of the system if they're gunked up.

I don't believe we have any indication that the big offerings (claude.ai, Gemini, operator, tasks, canvas, chatgpt) use multiple models in one call (other than for different modalities like having Gemini create an image). It seems to actually be very difficult technically and I'm curious as to why.

I wonder how much of an impact our being still so early in the productization phase of this all is. Like it takes a ton of work and training and coordination to get multiple models synced up into an offering and I think the companies are still optimizing for getting new ideas out there rather truly optimizing them.

Ooh, what are these ASICs you're talking about? My understanding was that we'll see AMD/Nvidia gpus continue to be pushed and very competitive as well as have new system architectures like cerebras or grok. I haven't heard about new compute platforms framed as ASICs.

Yeah I found that interesting. Flubbed embargo times makes sense, but could it also be that they're letting the news organizations have first dibs to build a little goodwill with the industry?

Just tried Toucan and it can't be disabled on localhost, a major pain for using it during work as an engineer. For those that haven't used toucan, it's an extension that translates words/phrases inline on a page with various levels of replacement frequency and complexity based on your proficiency with the language.

A YouTuber named DirtyTesla has done a series of drives over the years throughout his hometown where he's tracked the intervention and disengagement rates per mile. He often shows those numbers at the end of his videos.

In this case, I think of this as more of a search endpoint than a list. What would you think about using a parameter to specify the relation? i.e.

"EGS are engineered reservoirs, created beneath the surface, where there is hot rock but limited pathways through which fluid can flow. During EGS development, the injection of fluid into the hot rock enhances the size and connectivity of fluid pathways by re-opening fractures. Once completed, EGS function just as natural geothermal systems do: fluids circulating through the hot rock carry energy to the surface through wells, driving turbines and generating electricity. EGS could provide up to 100+ GWe of economically viable capacity in the United States. This potential could supply green electricity to over 100,000,000 American homes, and represents a domestic energy source that is clean, reliable, flexible and renewable."

Read a bit more and you'll find

> Prices for food at home increased 3.3 percent over the past 12 months. All six major grocery store food group prices advanced over the period, with increases ranging from 1.6 percent (dairy and related products) to 5.4 percent (meats, poultry, fish, and eggs). Prices for food away from home rose 3.7 percent, as the 6.5-percent advance in prices for limited services meals was the largest 12-month increase since data were first collected in 1997.

Doesn't quite fill your 20% claim, but 5.5% for meats and 6.5 for limited services meals (places where you primarily order at the counter/drive-through/online) is quite the bump!

I recently created a Facebook account with a made up name and a new Google Voice phone number to sell an old monitor and the account was disabled within 2 hours.

Woah - Epic says they would release a competing app store if it weren't for "Apple's illegal restraints".

> But for Apple’s illegal restraints, Epic would provide a competing app store on iOS devices, which would allow iOS users to download apps in an innovative, curated store and would provide users the choice to use Epic’s or another third-party’s in-app payment processing tool."

Part 16, in the Intro.
