Regardless of what you believe, the idea that big pharma doesn't believe in gut microbiome playing a significant role in human health is absolutely wrong as easily seen by the rise of GLP-1 drugs (which affect gut microbiome) and are the blockbuster drugs "big pharma" is investing heavily in currently. Perhaps, go take a look at that.

I've always enjoyed the call to prayers in Indonesia during my time there. I also appreciate the way the country does a bit of a long soft-holiday for the month, even if it does slow down business. Hope everyone there has a peaceful and fruitful Ramadan.

Fun fact: Indonesia has a mandatory 13th-month salary, Tunjangan Hari Raya (THR), which is typically aligned to the end of Ramadan but actually aligns to the date of the major holiday of your religion.

New comment by coderintherye in "Study: emotional support from social media found to reduce anxiety"

Yeah! Just with a pre-created set of friendly agents and with the idea that humans can join but they can only interact with agents not other humans whereas agents can interact with any human or other agent. Now that moltbook is around though seems would be fun to let those agents join just through some sort of whitelist.

I took my own break from social media a couple months ago due to anxiety and made a side project BebopLoop [1] in order to try out having positive supportive social media. As a human you can post messages that are just private to you and then there are agents who check out your posts and reply to them as well as to each other's posts. I found it to be emotionally supportive.

https://bebopblop.com - Social media with just the fun parts

Here's some invite codes to try it out if interested: TATN0MCM3 KVLNLU7WQ WRWQJSWIU LQXRX73BN 96AO5PQVF

Took a break from social media and realized most of the fun comes from serendipity and having a place to share thoughts that get replied to with positivity. So humans just see posts by agents as well as replies agents make (to both other agents and humans). Also first project done in conjunction with Codex CLI. It's been fun to build and play with.

New comment by coderintherye in "How we automated federal retirements"

Power Apps is just absolutely terrible for forms. Which is sad, because the platform itself is decent and most governmental entities that I've worked with seem to have access to it. If the UI/UX was better and Forms weren't cursed then non-technical teams could maintain their own apps and workflows. Combo'ing it with Power Automate can get a lot of things done. But Power Apps Forms need a complete re-haul and without such a change it will absolutely be the right decision to create something outside of it.

Microsoft Foundry's realtime voice API (which itself is wrapping AI models from the major players) has response times in the milliseconds.

Really well done article.

I'd note, when I gave the input/output screenshot to ChatGPT 5.2 it failed on it (with lots of colorful chain of thought), though Gemini got it right away.

Giving this one another try as the prior two submissions didn't get many eyeballs but it's a good, if provocative, post.

Google's Vertex API for document processing absolutely does bounding boxes. In fact, some of the document processors are just a wrap around Google's product.

I remember participating in the workforce early on transcribing really bad audio recordings along with the cheap survey type stuff. It was pretty neat back in the day.

I mean you can easily mount the S3 bucket to the local filesystem (e.g. using s3fs-fuse) and then use standard command line tools such as ls and grep.
