This looks pretty neat, it looks like the shape of something I want to use. I'm having trouble managing my entire project, and from reading Buzz' project description, I think I understand what my issue is: a lack feature channels. I'm purely using claude-code and I use a bespoke session-wrap command at the end of every major development or as I approach 50% context window. And then in a fresh session I use a recontextualize command to figure out the trajectory of the prior work.

I think Buzz' use of channels and rooms is better, since each feature/concept has its own development pace, velocity, and history. I'll give it a shot.

Do you have any examples comparing different agent workflows vs Buzz? Would love to understand more how you foresee people using this.

I believe there's room for a short-form, raw, AI-free, audio-only platform organized around continuous streams of 5-10 second audio clips.

But before I build the real thing, I'm running a validation to test the core question: will strangers actually record? I'm trying to validate one single prompt "I love you", anonymous, 5-second cap. The clips get mixed and published to a listening page when the window closes. You can enter your email to be notified when the experiment is over. I try to make the recording process as low friction as possible, so give it a try.

Any and all feedback are welcome.

The accounting only works if you assume the counterfactual is "same industrial civilization, minus fossil fuels." But there's a strong path-dependency argument that cheap hydrocarbons were the bootstrap not just for energy, but for the plastics, fertilizers, and chemical feedstocks that made modern manufacturing and agriculture possible in the first place. Renewables are downstream of that industrial base. You can't net out the externalities against a baseline that wouldn't exist without them.

Excessive speeders in the absence of speed-limit enforcement just creates neighbors that don't mind their neighborhood being consumed by speed bumps/dips, I think there's an analogy here in residential areas. And if you have a lot of children in your neighborhood, there IS a 'xx-phobia' for speeders. But speed bumps and dips are an absolute nuisance and sometimes dangerous, so just having cameras identify and a system willing to punish speeders would absolutely be the preference.

Thinking of it in terms of vector similarity does seem appropriate, and then definition of similarity suddenly comes into debate: If you don't get Harrison Ford, but a different well-known actor along with everything else Indiana-Jones, what is that? Do you flatten the vector similarity matrix to a single infringement-scale?

I struck a column in a multilevel garage while reversing out of a parking spot, my mistake completely, resulting in damage to the driver door, door hinge, mirror, and front quarter panel. Progressive considered the car totaled due to the cost/availability/labor to fix it. Unsure what the cost would be for a toyota or honda, but I was perplexed at the total loss of my still drivable car.

Yeah, especially if this breaks Chrome Remote Desktop in any way, seems like that capability would be tied into the Google ecosystem... I wonder how long we will have to say goodbye to the simplest remote desktop that has ever existed.

Since the statistic applies to the whole US, it's biased towards urban population centers.

E.g. the lack of K-12 kids in SF almost caused the shutdown of 11 schools due to the lack of funding that comes primarily from the number of enrolled students, they halted the closures in lieu of other cost saving approaches due to the political pressures of shutting down schools, but the truth remains that there are fewer kids in population centers.

For the absolute worst case, see: Bodies: The Exhibition

"Concerns have been raised by human rights advocates that the bodies are those of executed Chinese prisoners, and that the families of the victims have not consented."

In one case, it's suspected the government killed the pregnant mistress of a cheating government official and her and the fetus are now a display item.

Keurig for microgreens. A system whereby the user provides power, water, and proprietary seed cartridges to a device to manage scheduling, succession, water, light, and other environmental factors to successfully grow microgreens as easily as possible.

Huh, you learn interesting things everyday in unusual places. Look forward to seeing more google-photos blog-posts from this new discovery. /s I hope.

Tesla owns the electric gas station! for now... Now that unity is achieved in the US, I think we're about to see an explosion in charging stations and designs of various charging hubs (drive-in movies's revival?) as Tesla won't be allowed to own the network 100% come soon.

Autonomous muddying-the-waters GPT agents. Autonomous propaganda GPT agents. Autonomous competitor-bashing GPT agents. Autonomous signal-boosting GPT agents. Autonomous thread-bumping-without-adding-new-info GPT agents.

The internet is in for a wild ride with the above agents. I don't think internet discourse will survive.
