<p>> So what happened to the Swiss watch industry is not merely an interesting outlier. It's very much a story of our times.<p>I am not saying it is, but it sounds like the first paragraph of every Gemini deep research.</p>

<p>I like it because it differs a lot from whites and reds and allows to get a different perspective on how wine can taste. While the difference within whites and within reds can be huge, the orange wine tastes like something completely alien, yet it can be very tasty.</p>

<p>There were not a whole lot of Russian tourists 10 years ago because the memories from Russian invasion of 2008 were still fresh.<p>I'm not saying that inflow of Russians is particularly bad, it just raised the prices of everything very significantly, and together with the pro-Russian government and reversal in pro-European development, the European tourist influx is stagnant at best.</p>

<p>I've been to Georgia 10 years ago and there were a lot of tourists from Germany and France. Both the buses with organized trips for retired people and youngsters renting AirBnbs for cheap.<p>The problem we faced was with the inconsistency in price/quality in restaurants and services. Some places are really cheap - a huge dinner for two in a "I want this, this and this and two bottles of wine" manner costed 25EUR, while a 15 minute transfer could cost 50EUR. This inconsistency is something that leaves a bad aftertaste for many tourists, who would otherwise want to go there again and again to enjoy the beautiful nature, food, wine. And the tap water is literally Evian. That was in Kutaisi.<p>If it wasn't for the sudden grab of power fueled by Russian money and the influx of people fleeing from Russia because of war, give Georgia another 10-20 years, and the living standards would rise dramatically. Similar to how it happened in early 2000s.</p>

<p>I started working on a simple Telegram bot with llm backend and .md knowledgebase that would help me organize, track and research my long-term hobby projects.<p>The problem that I am repeatedly facing is that I am trying to build a home server and I keep asking chatgpt questions, but it is hard to keep all the little details in one place. The way I see it is that I can just text my assistant bot and ask it something like "hey, can you research which NAS setup would be the best for me given x and y". It will offer some setup and I would say "can you add it to the plan" and "can you plan the next steps for me?". The bot will also update the knowledgebase and version control it.<p>You might also want to use it for something like planning a trip to Paris, where at some point you might say "hey, given my schedule, can you squeeze a tour to top5 croissant places in the center of Paris".<p>The whole thing sound really vague and sounds like something solved long ago, but I cannot find solutions that will be guaranteed to stick to a very precise plan that I can review at any given moment. If you happened to know existing solutions, please let me know. I really don't want to build this thing.</p>

<p>Great article!<p>On a sidenote, what is this new style of writing using small sentences where each sentence is supposed to be a punchline?<p>"And most of those sequences? They don't fold into anything useful. They're junk. They aggregate into clumps. They get degraded by cellular quality control. Only a TINY fraction of possible sequences fold into stable, functional proteins."</p>

<p>With new LLMs being released almost daily at this point and with availability of all the possible "spec-driven" workflows(BMAD, AgentOS etc), is anyone really developing production ready software with little to no intervention? 
I have talked to a lot of software developers in my circles and most of them are using LLMs for autocomplete(which has gotten extremely good with Augment code and others) or attempting to "one-shot" some small features. I keep reading that many people are writing 10k lines of code daily which quite honestly sounds plausible. What I don't understand is whether that code is maintainable, modular, performant and otherwise production ready. I believe that with proper specs and setup, modern LLMs can do all that, but I have yet to hear real life examples of that.</p>

<p>Any information on how comfortable the strap is? I am wearing a Garmin HRM Pro for one hour a day during workouts and it is not very comfy. I know a lot of athletes are moving to way less precise optical hand straps just because of the comfort issues with chest straps. I would not wear a chest strap for longer periods of time, unless I absolutely had to.</p>

<p>Great idea! Great website! Terrible video. The 90 second format is great, this is how much I would like to spend learning what exactly your product does. But the whole video is just clicking some user interfaces with no result. After watching the video, I have even less idea of what it the product is for. I would love to see a video that goes through the "next, next, next" in the wizard and then shows the actual outcome.</p>
