I immediately noticed this as well. In many cases, they weren't even LLCs, just names.
Maybe my memory is hazy from that period, but I don't recall the clear call to action to request five-figure loans as an individual, (almost) all of which appear forgiven.
One major takeaway that matches my own investigation is that Gemini 2.0 still materially struggles with bounding boxes on digital content. Google has published[1] some great material on spatial understanding and bounding boxes on photography, but identifying sections of text or digital graphics like icons in a presentation is still very hit and miss.
Honest question, but how do we as a society culturally align on who has the right to space in low Earth orbit?
I understand there are treaties that prevent ownership of space in general, but it seems like at some point you could reach such density of satellites that at best, it impairs function, and at worst creates potential collisions.
Reading the comments here, largely negative pointing, I couldn't help but recently feel like IBM was really impressive with their work on Quantum System 2 [1]. I'm not knowledgable enough to know if there's really progress in what they presented, but it seemed to help justify why this is still a $160B+ company.
Perhaps I haven't figured out the best way to query ChatGPT, but isn't the magic here that your approach implicitly already understands all the tables/ relationships that exist within database?
I found myself wanting something like this the other day trying to query some BigQuery tables I was unfamiliar with.
With that being said, from my vantage, the value of a tool like this is writing the SQL query for me that I can understand, verify, and reuse.
Since it doesn't look you do that, and only return charts or "answers", you're locking users into an analytics solution rather than a tool that provides flexibility to any traditional BI solution.
Perhaps this is explained by a difference in target audience.
Seeing "Powered by GoDaddy" in the footer seems juxtaposed to a company that supposely developed an AI chatbot (even if just forwarding requests on to ChatGPT).
What's the cross section of users willing to configure this setup (which requires the Mac app host) that want these "restricted" applications that also do not want to jailbreak their devices?
I suppose I am many years removed from the jailbreak scene so it's not clear to me if this represents a viable alternative for the regular user, and/or if Cydia is still functional. The latter of which was very much the defacto "aftermarket" app store.
Mind speaking to the monetization component of your app? It's not readily visible from your links.
I ask as I've built a similar tool that supports portfolio rebalancing and helps generally understand portfolio health. I found the niche of "DIY" investors willing to pay for software somewhere between fully automated and hands-off is small and although I've never pushed towards aggressive monitization, it always seemed like most self-service investors are conditioned to only pay for data (which I suppose in part your application presents).
Can you explain the thought process behind Google Ads on the site?
Despite my various ad blockers (Pihole, etc), I would generally view ads on a blog as setting a tone akin to microtransactions on a video game, rather than trying to build a brand or simply document thoughts/ be viewed as a thought leader.
Made me think of the game "Escape from Tarkov", which has been out for years and has a subset of a mall-setting map called "IDEA" using the same blue/yellow color pallette (1).
My first experience with Wealthfront was an IRA. After a short period (<year), I realized it was rather simplistic to take a predictable regular deposit and split it across a few ETFs to stay on track for their recommended portfolio. I ended up opening a taxable account to take advantage of tax-loss harvesting (materially more difficult to do myself). I'd be curious what proportion of their AUM sits under taxable vs retirement accounts.
Nonetheless (forgive the plug), I ended up building a simple app that would help me automate the thinking of balancing my portfolio. Here's an example using a Wealthfront-genereated portfolio (ETFs + targets): https://correctmyportfolio.com/scenario/share/YISu5jI3
Turns out figuring out where to optimize a portfolio to a target without selling, or other rules (like sell thresholds, cash buffers, etc.) is a bit more complicated than Excel would allow.
Yes. Once you cross a certain threshold (I think it's $100k portfolio), they'll switch you to "Direct Indexing", which automates individual stock purchases.
> But I could more easily just use my GBP to directly buy Euros, with one less exchange rate and one less transaction in the process.
In this scenario, the transacting bank would need to have (or want) to have GBP for them to sell Euros. While I agree this is a poor example, think of the more obscure conversions. Swedish kronas to South African rands, etc.
Anyway, I won't pretend XRP is a perfect solution. Just seems to me that it solves the edge cases of liquidity while doing so more cost effectively, which in turn benefits the consumer.
