You misspelled "MARKETING"

I have a personal project I've been playing with as an experiment. It's a personal health and medical records app. Originally started as a way to replace a spreadsheet I used to keep track of my labs and a few other things. I purposely did it hands off. I think I edited the code once just because I was being impatient. It's up to 1.2M lines of code and it works. Minor bugs now, mostly around dark mode, but Claude Code has no issues adding new features or refining existing ones. And I've been adding some crazy features just to see if it can do it. It has a DICOM viewer for imaging studies, pulls common medications from various public APIs to auto-fill. It exposes an API I use with the Health Auto Export to push Apple Health data from my phone. Pulls provider info from the NPI database API to auto-fill name, specialty, location, phone, etc. Text extraction from uploaded reports, extracts context from the reports to create new entries for procedures, diagnoses, etc. Has a firefox plugin to scrape my data from MyChart. Even tracks basic weather (temp, pressure, AQI) and has a correlation engine to allow me to click on a symptom (pulled from diary entries) and it shows correlating data (weather, vitals, med changes, etc) around it. So not a simple app. All containerized and (via instructions in claude.md) it manages the containers and updates documentation on every change. One key is to force it to write and pass tests. The test suite for the app is huge but it usually means code works the first time as the AI can run the tests and troubleshoot at the end of every update.

Now is it perfect? No. There are gaps you need to know about and work to fix. For exampe it it took me a while to tune the claude.md to get it to always use ZOD because it will happily create front end and back end components in the same run with mis-matched schemas. And I'm sure the code isn't the most efficient. Claude actually has a "Code Simplification" skill I need to incorporate into the workflow at some point. But it's been a fun experiment so far.

When I worked for a large beer company, we made the 3rd party can producers buy aluminum for our cans from us. We bought it and sold it to them at our cost. That way we knew what their primary input costs were, and therefore what they were marking us up. This kept their prices in line. We also had our own can and bottle plants that produced part of our needs, mainly to remind our suppliers we could do it without them if we wanted.

I believe some may do that. Some will also write scratch python code to do the actual calculations.

Over-hiring at big tech along with a cooling economy. The layoff were coming no matter what. AI is just an excuse.

Yes. The subscription just gets you some AI features and a template library. The applications themselves stay free.

This. VDI makes sense for some corporate use cases, but for individual users I don't ever see it happening and one of the main reasons is the need for an endpoint device. That device can be cheap, but most users are still going to want good screens, keyboards, etc. And it still needs some RAM and a CPU. GPU if you want to pass down decent graphics (it doesn't need to be a powerhouse and integrated will work but it does need some capabilities to handle streaming things that use the GPU on the cloud PC.) At that point, why not spend the extra to just get a real PC.

Since it's kind of buried in the summary: You can still buy them individually and skip the subscription. You will just miss out on some new "AI" features and what sounds like a new stock library.

That is with in the period you expect symptoms to start showing up, and people to start seeking testing/medical attention so yes, that's early in my book.

India reported ~45M infections with ~533K deaths, or around 1% which matches basically every other country including the US.

Quote a few. Getting rid of on-prem Exchange is usually the thing everyone is most excited for. Almost no-one wants to manage Exchange anymore, and I don't blame them. It's a pain in the ass and way over complicated for what it is.

Again, quite a few. Both Google and Microsoft give academic institutions sweetheart deals on their office suites.

They have been doing that for at least a decade, the story just finally got some traction recently. I have an old (3D!) LG that I remember having a mouseprint disclaimer about built in Nielsen tech that monitored and reported viewing.

The only really stagnate section for 4 yr public was 2018 to 2020 and 2020 to 2022 (flat, 100K decrease) but in 2024 it rebounded back and the gain between 2022 and 2024 is in line with the gains seen prior to 2018. I'd say that anomaly lines up pretty well with COVID. At the same time, enrollment in 2yr public colleges peaked in 2010 and declined until 2022, with a 300,000 uptick from 2022 to 2024, the only gain in enrollment since 2010.

Fair. Might be setting up his plan-b.

Possible, but the image they sent to journalists trying to verify their story contained an SynthID watermark, so that's a problem. A deeper dive than the Verge article: https://www.hardresetmedia.com...

Yes, it is. Can you show me in any meaningful way where the Google summaries are better than Gemini?
