Agree, if seen as start/inception of a line: promising
Imagine them boiling this down over the years into a ‘battle tested’ streamlined 160k EV -- they do not require the first version to be sold much ‘at all’ at this price point; it is now out there and the goal seems to be to mark the top of the line of this segment longterm; and if this succeeds, they ported the co into the future in style
There is soo much great design in this but it might be required to get closer to really experience and appreciate
Just leaving this here — you are up to something. Karpathy:
> Products with extensive/rich UIs lots of sliders, switches, menus, with no scripting support, and built on opaque, custom, binary formats are ngmi in the era of heavy human+AI collaboration.
If an LLM can't read the underlying representations and manipulate them and all of the related settings via scripting, then it also can't co-pilot your product with existing professionals and it doesn't allow vibe coding for the 100X more aspiring prosumers.
Example high risk (binary objects/artifacts, no text DSL): every Adobe product, DAWs, CAD/3D
Example medium-high risk (already partially text scriptable): Blender, Unity
Example medium-low risk (mostly but not entirely text already, some automation/plugins ecosystem): Excel
Example low risk (already just all text, lucky!): IDEs like VS Code, Figma, Jupyter, Obsidian, ...
AIs will get better and better at human UIUX (Operator and friends), but I suspect the products that attempt to exclusively wait for this future without trying to meet the technology halfway where it is today are not going to have a good time.
It needs to be settled if listening to a voice (as an AI) and approaching to recreate/imitate it with your own system/tech is legal (which I believe) -- this 'her' confrontation seems to be the perfect angle to feel into the legislature here without much to lose
> for this thread, let's make a key rule: do not use your browsing tool (internet) to get info that is not included in your corpus. we only want to use info in corpus up until dec 2023. if you feel you need to use browsing to answer a question, instead just state that the required info is beyond your scope. the only exception would be an explicit request to use the browsing tool -- ok?
Worked on an open source cloud player 10y ago: idea was to have one place to curate playlists and your music library in general -- basically an access and authentication platform where the underlying providers can change over the years without impacting your collection.
Still feel this is the right way to think about collecting and curating music going forward…
I doubt that it's possible to target "healthy bacteria" with diet prebiotic plant fiber (probiotics are bacteria and won't "feed", you're right) -- it's random, unfortunately.
Low endotoxin load > health effects of butyrate etc, if you have serious issues like IBS or crohns
Doing the exact opposite might help — probiotics feed harmful bacteria as well and a different strategy would be to simply try to keep your microbiome as basic and unintrusive as possible, allowing the gut to calm and heal.
It’s easier said than done; recommend looking into natural antibiotics (eg cooked white button mushrooms), indigestible fibre to ensure regular movements, which more than anything lowers endotoxin load (raw carrot salad), carbs from sugars instead of starch, which get absorbed more quickly and won’t be very “prebiotic” (eg ripe oranges, honey) and nutrient dense foods to meet metrics (organ meats and cheeses).
I’m very sure that there is more money (for big high volume exchanges) in providing an environment with low liquidations (which amplify price moves against the index, again bad UX) instead of driving customers into them and profiting from trading these wicks.
The biggest risk to established exchanges is ‘regulatory alienation’ — and having millions of USD in daily liquidations probably is not helpful here.
Won’t say these trades aren’t done (data needed to build positioning models is public), my only point here; v unlikely by exchange owners.
IMO people overestimate how much alpha is in knowing your customers’ positions (as exchange owner).
Open interest, volume and price data down to seconds is available via APIs in real-time, from which it is absolutely possible to build a model of positioning.
If you launch a new exchange, your biggest problem is lack of liquidity, meaning limit orders won’t fill ‘timely’ and market orders slip, which is very bad UX obviously.
That is why it is fairly obvious that one of the best market makers in the industry launched their own exchange; Alameda could provide excellent liquidity for FTX from day one.
> Consumers spent $6bn on Onyfans last year. If the payment industry won't or can't support that, this is another arbitrage opportunity, like it or not. Is there a payment tech that doesn't have centralised gatekeepers, and uses a bearer model to address fraud?

So likely longterm: very good move
