For quite some time I have been working on & off on my side project - iOS app to import your PDF tickets and keep them neat and organized. Here it is, available on App Store: apps.apple.com/us/app/ticket…

For some this might sound like a well built org chart. For me this is a dysfunctional organisation. Me: hey, I have an issue with the product. Can you help? 1. Sorry, I am only Account Executive, CCed Dedicated Customer Account Executive 2. Hey, I CCed our Onboarding Team ↓

3. Hey, let me assign onboarding consultant 4. Hey, I am only onboarding specialist, I don’t know about API, let me check with the team 5. Let me open the ticket 6. We need to escalate this case to our next support channel 🙄 I bet it will take 4 more people to resolve it

subway take: it's not that opus 7 is weak, we already overproduced code and now models have hard time in the noise

There are so many great pi agent extensions and packages. I am interested to try them (almost) all, but to make sure I do not get hacked I should check if this is safe to install. So I build myself the CLI to check it.

as a business, I can't buy ChatGPT Pro plan for each developer🤨

Do I know anyone running using @PlanetScale in AWS Lambda successfully? Having problems with network latency. Lambda and @PlanetScale run in eu-west-2. Cold starts usually have ~500ms latency, and can't get warm requests below 70ms.

Apple Intelligence is great and I am looking forward to it very much! But this ChatGPT integration is bugging me a bit. So it's seems like we have the fallback chain: on-device -> apple-server-side -> chatgpt

Each part of the chain is more capable, so it stops where it's capable to complete the request. I would expect that if apple-server-side is not powerful enough right now, it should eventually become powerful enough to compete and make chatgpt redundant.

The current UX design makes me feel like that apple-server-side will always be capped and there will be always someone more powerful. So Apple will not be competing at the front with OpenAI.

Neat little app by ⁦@Apple⁩ — Sports. Hopefully they are dog feeding themselves with SwiftUI

LK-99 Endgame: What Happens Next & Market Size If LK-99 is a room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor, there are three distinct possibilities depending on its eventual engineering properties. Here is a straightforward explanation of each scenario and estimated total market sizes in ARR: The two limits on superconductor performance are: - How much current it can carry - How much magnetic field it can withstand If either of these limits are exceeded, superconductors stop working. The scenarios are high/low field and high/low current, but you can't really get high-field without high-current, so only three scenarios Scenario 1: Low-field, low-current ~$1.5 trn: LK-99 saturates at relatively low fields, like 0.3T, and relatively low current densities, of ~1 amp / mm^2. It works in delicate electronics, small packages, at high efficiencies, with extremely high sensitivity. It revolutionizes the following industries: - Telecom hardware $650 bn; Cellphones $450 bn; Electronic Sensors $200bn; Satellites $70bn; GPUs $40bn; CPUs $20bn; Antennas $20bn. Scenario 2: Low-field, high-current ~ $2 trn: LK-99 can carry large current densities, on the order of >1000 amps / mm^2, but can't stand strong magnetic fields. It gains relevance in power transmission, switches, relays, and larger electrical equipment. It revolutionizes the following industries: Power transmission $320 bn; Wires cables $200bn; Switches & Relays ~$ 25 bn and many others. Scenario 3: High-field, high-current ~ $4.5 trn: LK-99 can operate in high fields of several Tesla and high currents of >1000 amps / mm^2. It revolutionizes fundamental industries by replacing motors, generators, transportation equipment, and unlocks new energy sources like fusion. It revolutionizes the following industries: Power generation $1.8 trn; Electric Motors $300 bn; Rail freight $250 bn; Energy Storage $200 bn ~~~~ Some important considerations: - "The totals don't add up" - If something works at high field, it works at low-field, and same for current. Therefore Scenario 1 is the base-case and adds to the bottom line of both other scenarios; it places the least engineering requirements on the material. All numbers for total market sizes are estimates found online in popular market reports for ~2022. - To incorporate this material into micro-electronics means re-thinking the extremely-mature CMOS 300mm silicon wafer fabrication process, a process that would take a decade if not more to get right. - A final consideration is the mechanical strain the material can withstand, which also affects the current and field tolerances of existing superconductors. Bulk deformations of the crystal lattice can disrupt superconducting properties - this issue has over-time been improved upon in modern high-temperature superconductors but is still present, and may limit applications in the long-run. - Our current generation of YCBO-based high-temperature superconductors started out as low-field, low-current, highly strain-sensitive, and over 30 years of engineering development, these now carry >1000 amps/mm^2 in fields as high as 10T (although these numbers trade off against each other). What this means is, with time, engineering, patience, and concerted effort, if TK-99 is a superconductor then Scenario #3 is highly likely within 10-20 years. ~~~~ Conservative estimate: Current conservative estimates by an MIT professor put the probability of LK-99 being "it" at 5%. Assuming a long-term achievement of Scenario 3, this gives an expectation value of a $225 billion annual market. ~~~~ Caveat: LK-99 is not yet confirmed to be a superconductor but has several suggestive corroborations from other experimentalists and simulations. I am reserving judgement until results are confirmed by a Department of Energy National Lab in the USA or a similarly regarded institution.

I have literally tried to close this "app" with a close button. Does not work!

Just got off a call with Reddit about the API and new pricing. Bad news unless I come up with 20 million dollars (not joking). Appreciate boosts. reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comme…

Never made it past the third episode of Succession and now I see why. Worth another shot?

.@datadoghq has the most annoying SDRs on the planet. Endless emailing our entire team and calling engineers on their personal lines. I banned their entire email domain and still the SDR is emailing from his personal gmail. Never using them again.
