this is cool, I used to work in ag robotics and understand the economics require bravery, and loads of project finance eventually?

one thing: the fish cursor on the site is frustrating pls allow disabling.

This is a great setup. I was building agents in 2023 with email addresses, and it was very effective for onboarding tech laggards to generative AI. It also resulted in very low durable use rates. Users would onboard then stop using quickly. Christenson ftw again.

One thing that can be handled much better today than back then was MIME / attachment types and having agents assemble "fancy" email structures irt.

pemmican is pretty easy to make if you modify to a ground texture, grind the meat, and accept that it's not "traditional" and refrigerate it

nice work. dealt with same issue during helene. would be interesting to do things like convert to morse code or convert to modem-over-walkie low baud rate.

I built this repo as a Helene response repo, trying to use an llm to help get resources over text message. https://github.com/realityinspector/supply_drop_ai

wonder if you could get to news over sms, use an llm to compress to minimum viable text?

I would be interested in this as well, but would love it to be more like openapi protocol, with an agents.md.

excited to try out. flask <> coding agents work really well together.

[yawn] at the meta narrative comments. let's just have fun:

1) Canada and Mexico. The inevitable rise of the US will erode borders where languages are shared. Mexican-American tech workers will pass advantage to Spanish-speaking friends and relatives. Canadians will host maple syrup breakfast meetings with American innovators from Toronto.

2) The Bahamas for obvious reasons

3) Extremely cold and extremely hot countries where it's miserable to be outside part of the year; Matrix-style AI+VR headsets will offer relief. Aka the sun lamp holodeck theory.

I tried to build a startup based on a similar idea, but the traction was not good. The squarespace website is still up https://sundialcalendar.com/

It’s stunning how much of our lives are predictable. We are free will surfers on waves of determinism.

this is great! very clever logic model.

I wrote something I think is highly relevant about a distributed L1 for time, that you might enjoy, OP?

Hi OP - you might be interested in something I tried to launch but didn't succeed at getting traction. sundialcalendar.com

The idea is a calendar for your whole life. Would love to find a new home for it.
