This is a full body ultrasound?

Medical I don't care about futuristic sounding stuff. Just show me evidence based and clinically useful testing.

Use AI and new scans to help sure but prove it works otherwise this could be another dead end.

I trust them as a cloud less than US but don't completely trust US.

You can charge back months after. Best to ask for refund first (as in now, despite their legally irrelevant time limit) as the CC would expect you to do that first.

the whole part about dark patterns is to be technically not doing the asshole thing while getting most people to fall for it.

Based. Unhinged. Don't try this at home.

But it is also art. It represents the waste in our devices that play out over 1-4 years (or say a few weeks for a vape) but in one night.

But yeah. Don't do it. Indoors? wtf!!!!

4 hour work weeks is:

Draw circle: Set up a highly successful business (prerequisite)

Rest of owl: Delegate stuff (what the book says to do).

It is pretty useless. Not suprised sales have declined especially since startups probably got harder since when it was written.

Yeah he phrases it odd. Like with the "almost certainly" and "overall" qualifiers. Not "he is a better programmer than I would dream to be..."

It is the GPT2 of espresso. Looks bad but idea is sound. There will be a GPT5.5 later on.

Awesome idea. I would love to try it. If that can also make my espresso routine easier I am up for it.

These days it would be better in reverse i.e. expose the docs as docs and human points their Claude at that. In starting to do that!

Is it quacking like employment? Sort of and sort of not.

Not: very flexible hours, not exclusive, driver can switch customer? driver provides tools

Is: driver cannot subcontract, has to follow set rules (maybe that makes is franchise like?)

Of course they took something that was employment and made it not employment at scale.
