    Honestly the "charge by data" is probably missing some things. We have quite a few users on the free tier. I found out my ops guys were optimizing the data to keep on the free tier…

    Second Grist it is very cool we use a lot of it. You can run python as a column/ cell and it doesn't have a lot of the limitations of Airtable. Usage tiers are ridiculously large. …

    I wonder if it will work well as a "travel" computer? I could see leaving my laptop at home and taking this and a keyboard? Also it looks like it would be fabulous as an e-reader t…

    I have one and gave to my teenager. Unbelievable abuse for 3 years before it gave up the ghost after being dropped one too many times.

    The Dartmouth analytics say that is true. The top 1% is taking from the top 10% in admissions. That said, your view that they need "trauma" to get in is very wrong. You need to fin…

    That's a great way to put it: functional slop. That's what I mean tho - as long as it is minimally functional it does its job. I totally get the shade thrown at ycombinator. But I …

    Correct. It's "good enough" for now and if it needs to be industrialized you can do that later. If it is brand new and has no traffic and is not exposing user data or opening up yo…

    I like the idea of getting a slice of the action for the country. I mean, to have a nice slice of profits or something would be really nice. You know the equity is nice in that onl…

    Right. You hire the developer when you want a developer. But if I am building simple agentic workflows -- glorified automations with a small bit of structured "thinking" - I will s…

    To the others on this reply, I take 1/4 dose of the "clinical dose" and it has been life changing. I've lost 30 lbs. I've done that in the past, but for me that was harder than ran…

    The tfa says that almost all of this went to big public automakers. Enraging. I initially thought that this was going to some small biz thing that at least would slosh the money ar…

    Interesting - if you're the author, I couldn't see quickly what data sources I would need to plug into it to make it work well (e.g, with the marketing agents doing account reviews…

    You are so incorrect here. If you feed it an evaluation rubric it will go after it! You really understimate the technology when in good and well intentioned hands. (Yes lazy people…

    100% you are so right. Don't rely on the LLM. It is a robot you give tools and context, and then you ask it to do something with that. It's amazing at that.

    on business pages they literally give you access to the posting API.... And you can automate against that. Not that they will give you much action on that without the sweet sweet a…

    Right but that margin is tight!? Total rev of $6m, entry cost before anything built of $3m. $3m to play with. 8 units selling for $750k and you want to build them for under $300k a…
