A few years ago while driving/moving from IL back to CA, I saw a Polaris Slingshot towing a U-Haul trailer across Illinois, Iowa and then we saw it again in Nebraska later that day. It was awesome!!

I probably have a picture if anyone really wants to see (I am definitely a car spotter)


I agree with the diminishing returns on spend, but worth noting that when on an Enterprise seat and paying API rates, I'd say that you can easily spend above 200/mo before seeing the curve begin to flatten

Obviously there are a ton of ways to spend money / tokens and people have different levels of experience that will put this ceiling at very different levels for different people.


I think that we are starting to see that API inference prices for US labs are excessive and subscription prices are closer to real costs so 200/m can be realistic longer term.


I'm quite curious. Friends I've talked to have been very pessimistic about accurately measuring blood sugar via a watch.

If they are actually able to get an optical measurement which is good enough for MoM or WoW trends, I'd agree it's pretty big even if they can't provide anything precise enough for real time / daily use. Just being able to roughly validate diet changes for women with PCOS could be very impactful and that's the smallest of the 3 populations you called out.


Before one can action one needs time to read and process whether the alert is for earthquake, tsunami, child abduction, etc


Those things could be solved with better UI (pictures, colors, ..) to see on one glance what is going on.


First word of the alert : EARTHQUAKE. What do you do?

There are no tsunamis in Mexico City haha


I don't see the point of focusing the conversation on Mexico City. You may be far enough from the fault line to have plenty of time to react, but not everyone does (as you acknowledge). You may not have tsunamis, but that doesn't change the fact that one needs to know WHAT to react to.

You are welcome to think it is ridiculous for needing 5 seconds to process what alert is going off. But the simple reality is no good disaster plan should assume that everyone will immediately understand what is happening.


Well if there are then the world is really screwed.


In most cases that would indicate an organizational failure. However, if something is trillions of miles away, and wrong commands could break communication etc, I'd probably just stick with the most experienced person as well.


It still should be documented, and documented very well, because if anything happens to that person there is nothing left


Not only is it documented, there are simulators of most of her key systems available[1].

The AI slop readme is a real turn off. Makes me question the quality/accuracy of the rest of the project.


I wonder what kind of prompt they had to use to make a Readme that rude and unfunny


FWIW, that project appears to be a passion project from someone who has gathered materials. It is NOT real JPL simulator code.


I can't edit, but realize GP said 'project', so my comment would've been more helpful to the parent of that comment.


It probably is.


It can also be less


Not likely. When the price goes down, some people take jobs doing other things pretty quickly. When it goes back up, they don't all come back immediately. The result is that the price tends to stay high longer than it stays low.


You discount people's blogs based on them having a non-western name? Maybe I've misunderstood your comment, but the domain is just their name.
