I used to work at an airport listed in this reference actually. Their boneyard was fully behind the fence and no public access would be granted. Even as staff we never went there because you've got massive aging equipment.

It would be an untenable liability to be having around them especially the public. Some of the chassis were there for years.

Pretty common method these days to build something just for the task at hand and consider deployment immutable requiring a new build of the ISO.

Lots of historical precedent for an intellectual elite ignoring the perception and needs of the common folk leading to an uprising.

I'd imagine every great(in scale/importance) uprising/political tumult had some aspect of "but they're ruining everything!"

Everything for intellectuals and people with ties to the system that was functioning for that minority.

Coal miners don't care that international students aren't coming to the US anymore. That's not an important factor for them.

Edit: My point here is that you don't need hindsight to see how this aligns with historic precedent.

Thank you so much for this quality reply!

I shared earlier in the thread about the learning app I'm working on. I already have a learning path created in it for Formal Methods. I will be taking each of your points and tracking my progress to completing them.

Just wanted you to know your effort won't be unappreciated.

I have knowledge of FM primarily from HackerNews posts about it.

As someone lacking your academic background in it could you give me some advice on a good starting point, or perhaps papers/materials that are absolutely unskippable/foundational to understanding it, maybe a good learning exercise for utilizing FM?

Are you familiar with FizzBee. I think formal methods is already very hot right not with more demand for proving AI generated code isn't garbage.

(Even if you're hand writing people are going to assume or suspect it's LLM gen.)

I had my problem in the calisthenic app space as well. Rowing, cycling, biking, calisthenics. Each sport has such specifics I wish there was an open standard on the data for better interop.

You know I'd love an ability to a "lock" a file from being read by agents.

Casual browsing of a .env is probably my top pet peeve of coding agents.

Everytime a secret gets slurped into an API I have to go roll secrets.

Does this tool solve that use case?

I have paid for to do apps to try and tackle this by using the NLP "every 3 months" etc to basically accomplish this.

I think you're smart to spin it out to its own thing because I tend to use them differently batching my chores into a time gate and then using my "chore list" to know what needs to be done. And also the notifications for chores tend to distract from "Important one time task you don't want to forget".

I'd consider paying for this if the app was well done and reasonably priced.

I'm working on an Alpha with a tester group for a learning product. A personal research extended to curriculum building and team training SaaS. I'd like to open source it and work on federation but those don't pay the bills yet. https://chunkker.com

Coop I'm trying to bootstrap. Interested in building tooling and experimenting to make Sociocracy viable. No VC, No external investment, other than mulling Coop bonds for capital raising capability. https://kinkoda.com

Feel free to contact me via the web forms if you have experience launching apps or platforms like this or you're just interested in discussing the product.

Hey I'd really love your input based on your academic background on an app I'm building if you have the time. It's learning focused.

I'm a Dad homeschooling a son and have a dog in the race of making parental guided education easier.

I have an Alpha user who's a PhD and makes courses but I still want diverse feedback.

Because also look at the bond market... It's all coming to a crescendo including the global economic recession indicators which will be a cold sprinkler on the whole party.

Gemma4 being able to run on commodity hardware I think is the real win out of this. Pop the bubble. Settle the craziness and the claws. Let scientists and engineers tinker and improve in the background. Hopefully we can have GPUs be affordable for gaming again although I'm starting to think that will never happen.

My key indicator is if I scroll right on mobile and see horizontal bleed over. For some reason models still fail at this so it's clearly vibe coded.

I started using Zed as a half measure. I think I'll start using AI for planning and suggested implementation steps.

I am seeing non technical people getting involved building apps with Claude. After the Openclaw and other Agentic obsession trends I just don't see it pragmatic to continue down the road of AI obsession.

In most other aspects of life my skills were valuated because of my ability to care about details under the hood and the ability to get my hands dirty on new problems.

Curious to see how the market adapts and how people find ways to communicate this ability for nuance.
