Files are huge for sure (mine are like 25Gb x 3 of us) but Claude Science / Macbook Pro M5 Max knocked out my analyses in minutes using command line tools like bcftools and scripti…

Thanks for the kind words. Actually we got the trio whole genome sequencing through our neurologist/geneticist a couple of years ago. It was performed by a company called GeneDx. T…

Marginally but the data manipulation is actually being done locally as the genome CRAM files are like 24Gb each.

I watched the announcement and gave it a spin as I'm a heavy user of cowork/code. So far I'm super impressed. I used it to analyze my whole genome sequencing data I have as my son …

It's been a painstaking process of combing consolidator websites (eg. PetVet Care Centers, NVA) for practice names, verifying and adding them to a list over the course of over a ye…

Thanks! Actually I did add the UK very recently but this is a good reminder to improve the UI to make it more obvious, if you go to https://www.privateequityvet.org/vet-list/map.ht…

I'm working on a website that lists veterinary practices owned by private equity or large corporations to help people make more informed decisions about where they take their pets.…

I'm looking forward to reading your book! Part of my expose of PE in the veterinary business can be found at https://www.privateequityvet.org

If anyone wants to see how private equity has transformed the veterinary industry check out www.privateequityvet.org/vet-list - over 7000 practices mapped across the US so far. Our…

Wow, great work. This is the kind of citizen hackery we need in society :)

Planet Money is looking for people who have had questionable experiences with BNPL providers, I'd take a look if you haven't already: https://www.npr.org/2022/02/10/1079837232/have…

That's exactly why Tesla are so good at what they do! I've had VW , BMW and Ford rental cars in the last year and they are literally stuck in the dark ages when it comes to on car …

Are google workspace accounts treated the same? I have several fill me domains hosted with Google duo curious if this behavior tracks over to their paid products

There are a few that I have listed on my website at https://franciswong.com/digital-health although since COVID some have been less active. Take a look at Docs and Hackers, UCSF He…

I have the base model MBP 16 inch and I've been experiencing slow downs with laggy keyboard input, momentary freezes, etc. Battery life is also not as good as on my old MPB 13 and …

You can't beat free. SVB and others get you with free for x months but once their fees and "analysis fees" kick in it really gets quite expensive for a small bootstrapped business …

I wanted to read this article especially as I've been to Chateau de Chambord, but this website is the epitome of adverts ruining the browsing experience!

Not very surprising, voice is a terrible interface for buying random products, even more so when you're talking to a dumb computer. It's what people used to have to do decades ago …

These guys are definitely predatory. I'm a bootstrapped startup founder and I think Prosper caught wind that I have some debt, most likely because I use Credit Karma who I'm sure m…

Loved reading this! I just finished restored a 1912 house in Oakland made out of the same old growth west coast douglas fir - from the framing to the copious clear vertical grain a…
