(March 2025)"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>I have a startup idea and I’m curious what others think.<p>Setting up AI agents is way too complicated. I am constantly being sent to GitHub pages with installation instructions that require way too many dependencies, API connections, and more. We’re talking hours of setup and config.<p>So what if there was an open-source marketplace where you could just search, find an agent, click deploy, get launched into an already configured agent, and just have it do its thing? Essentially a marketplace discoverablity, automated deployment infrastructure and an interface to manage your agents.<p>I’d also probably create some kind of open-source solution, probably a custom Docker container, so developers can easily build agents and wrap them in a container and upload them for deployment.<p>Thoughts? Does anything like this already exist?<p>P.S. No, I don’t want to build or use another crappy AI agent builder. I want to deploy open-source agents already built by actual developers.</p>

<p>You do realize anyone can edit Wikipedia, and its basically controlled by a bunch of Google executives?<p>They’re not an accurate source of information for anything, let alone anything even remotely political.<p>The sun dictates the weather, and always has.<p>$cientists don’t understand how plasma physics work, and don’t include climate forcing in their predictive models. The underlying theories for how climate change works are not based in reality, they’re cherry picking data and using models that purposely exclude factors like the sun.<p>This is basically like trying to explain to someone the earth is round 5,000 years ago when the “scientific consensus” at the time was the earth was flat.<p>People who believe carbon controls the weather are basically equivalent to flat earthers parroting political propaganda. It’s like malware that was installed in their brain in childhood that gets activated any time anyone suggests looking into the actual science.<p>Go research climate forcing. It’s how the weather actually works.</p>

<p>So let me get this straight:<p>Medium pushed all their 3rd party community publishers off the platform, in many cases destroying said communities. Even ended 3rd party domain support.<p>Went on a censorship spree, hired 80 people to create their own publications, started pushing mainstream media narratives, and stopped driving traffic to individual users to drive traffic to their publications.<p>Those publications then failed to grow without Medium driving their traffic, so the 80 paid writers tried to unionize, which Medium busted, so now Ev is basically publicly daring his staff to quit by making it sound like it is a fair and reasonable pivot for Medium (when it clearly isn't)?<p>Did I miss anything?<p>Why should anyone trust Medium at this point?<p>They've pivoted so many times, and every time they do they screw their users over, and now even their own paid staff.</p>

<p>Not sure.<p>Wouldn’t classify biofilms as a disorder, it’s how many bacterial, parasitic, and fungal infections work. It’s a mechanism for survival for these pathogens. Just because pharma companies and our corrupt medical system ignorantly ignored them doesn’t mean they haven’t been an ongoing health issue for all mammals on this planet forever basically.<p>Plasma EMF therapy is something I’ve tried but it requires proximity and a frequency generator tuned to specific frequencies to target biofilms. While the sun is the largest emitter of plasma available we can’t exactly tune it to a specific frequency, you get what you get depending on UV and weather conditions that day. I can tell you sun light is a disinfectant for some pathogens but for Lyme disease biofilms I can’t tell you.<p>Hyperbaric oxygen chambers work because they’re pressurized. The medication Alinia also has action against biofilms and cyst forms of Lyme disease although more research is needed.</p>

<p>Biofilms and persister cells are the problem with chronic Lyme disease.<p><a href="https://rawlsmd.com/health-articles/understanding-biofilm" rel="nofollow">https://rawlsmd.com/health-articles/understanding-biofilm</a><p><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6287027/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6287027/</a><p><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6521364/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6521364/</a><p>It's pretty simple, if the disease is able to enter the form where it starts producing biofilms it can use them to evade antibiotics. A patient then must explore treatments to break up biofilms, and eradicate whatever infections or co-infections are present within them. There's medications that do this and more functional methods such as hyperbaric oxygen chambers.<p>The people who have symptoms after antibiotic treatment and the people who relapse after antibiotic treatment still likely contain Lyme disease biofilms and persister cells which are capable of causing a full relapse given enough time and the right conditions.<p>Those who receive early treatment and success with a single round of antibiotics are the lucky ones, and not the standard patient experience.<p>Even people who have been bitten by a tick, immediately started antibiotics, and caught it immediately can still get chronic Lyme disease, especially if their initial round of antibiotics was for too short a duration.<p>There is a lot of shit on the Internet, and what's happening to the people who have Lyme disease is an absolute travesty and crime against humanity due to our corrupt and failing medical system. The actually science and research on this is clear though: biofilms exist, Lyme disease can become chronic due to biofilms and persister cells which can evade antibiotics.<p>Everyone talks about how theres super bugs and infections that evade antibiotics, well Lyme disease is literally a super bug that evades antibiotics and is probably one of the most successful super bugs of our lifetimes and yet people try to deny its capabilities despite countless medical research studies proving otherwise. It's baffling really.</p>
