I made a calculator for DIY endurance gels. I think it’s pretty sweet. https://www.theinstant.cc/gel

Stinner is also doing a lot of frame manufacturing in the US: https://www.stinnerframeworks.com/

Ha! Yes sure, but it does make sense that they’d keep something like this to themselves.

Creating massive amounts of high quality content efficiently, on a global scale, with seamless global distribution is an incredible competitive advantage.

I don’t see why they would provide it to anyone outside of their ecosystem.

It’ll be interesting to see if they translate this to games as well.

To add to this, while this approach may work for long tail, transactional sales with low ACVs, and work very well, it will not work for larger strategic/enterprise deals.

Sales teams are alive and well in this area. I’ve been in GTM for nearly my entire career. I have yet to see a company closing 6+ figure deals on a credit card and without a relationship.

“ Federal workers at the Social Security Administration (SSA) learned Wednesday that a plan was in motion to cut 50% of staff. Tuesday evening an anonymous comment on a well-known industry blog caught the attention of many workers already on high alert about their jobs. The comment said that on a 3pm call, Acting Commissioner Leland Dudek told SSA leadership that, “he wanted a plan to cut 50% of ALL staff, including frontline staff, to him by tomorrow afternoon.”

By early Wednesday afternoon, The American Prospect confirmed the rumor. Dudek, the Elon Musk loyalist I wrote about last week who went from administrative leave to leading the agency after helping the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), planned to cut the workforce in half. The move could affect tens of thousands of employees across the country, and far more people who rely on the agency for monthly checks that keep them afloat.

"Can say unequivocally that such deep cuts to SSA, which is already at historically low staffing, will cause significant to extreme degradation of services,” an SSA employee texted me Wednesday afternoon, “very likely including checks missed and individuals dying before their claims can be processed.” ”

Seems pretty grim. Do all these cuts aim towards essentially moving the work that still needs to be done to the private sector? Or is there something else I’ve missed that will help to keep the work going?

Interesting, this also released recently: https://rideslipstream.ai/

So far I’ve found these to be lackluster for planning and I just end up going out and seeing what kind of trouble I get into.

In short, tesla is not viewed as favorably as other car companies. And in the end, what they offer isn’t much differentiated from competitors that offer similar products.

Starting end of Nov 2024, Vanguard is actually beginning to roll out proxy voting capabilities to fund holders (in the US). This looks to be the beginning of deeper proxy voting capabilities, but not much information out there yet.

One other differentiation that Vanguard has is that it is owned by the fund holders

“Vanguard set out in 1975 under a radical ownership structure. Our company is owned by its funds, which in turn are owned by Vanguard’s fund shareholders. We focus on meeting the investment needs of our clients.”

So in short, vanguard is customer-owned, where fidelity is owned by mostly the founding family (the Johnson’s).

So, in short, the real added value is expediting or improving use of domain expertise captured from (or still held by) humans.

I agree here, AI-infused automation/orchestration of sometimes long-running business processes with a human in the loop seems to be very high value.

Looks really cool with a lot of information. Can someone who knows more than I detail out what the practical use cases of something like this would be?

I was thinking more completely self contained. Did some research and seems it might be possible with xterm + webcontainer.

I too am obsessed with beautiful TUI apps. I would love to see them inside a browser to lower the barrier to entry for the majority of folks. Almost like an emulated terminal inside the browser that’s simply accessed by url.

Are there any frameworks or examples of this being done?

“Jackson: In Vanguard’s view, crypto is more of a speculation than an investment. This is at the root of our decision to not offer crypto products, whether our own or others. With equities, you own a share of a company that produces goods or services, and many also pay dividends. With bonds, you get a stream of interest payments. Commodities are real assets that meet consumption needs, have inflation-hedging properties, and can play a role in certain portfolios. While crypto has been classified as a commodity, it’s an immature asset class that has little history, no inherent economic value, no cash flow, and can create havoc within a portfolio.“

Well said, this has been my own thinking on crypto, nice to see it so succinctly summarized.
