Tbh I love London as a centre of working but the major issues are red tape and fund raising. Much easier to raise in America with much larger cheque sizes. And the regulation is often a bit more lax (not good for fast innovation, but may be better for the world in some ways πŸ˜…)

The whole registry / research landscape is being challenged with the recent NIH changes.

It is a difficult time for many patient groups and researchers.

Can we build something that rises to that challenge? We hope we can and we would love to speak to anyone who shares the same vision.

My colleagues and I are building a system to collect citizen data that is under their own control but which can be used in aggregate (anonymously) to answer research questions.

That sounds so clunky! πŸ˜…
We are not marketing people. But we think it is an incredibly important issue.

So the CEO of a company selling AI agents suggests that we will replace our staff with AI agents?

I am not sure why people are so upset about this?

Yep blue ticks became an upsell on Twitter but this is not paid here.

And previously it was seen as a gate keeping function for people in the know. But with multiple verifiers that should also be mitigated surely.

Anything I am missing?

Sorry to butt in Veni. I truly empathise with dealing with a suffering child.

I am no expert on corticosteroids but prolonged use can be problematic. And can lead to steroid withdrawal reactions which may be what is happening.

I see this runs on a particular mobile hotspot as a PoC.

Sorry to ask a stupid question but could this Rust code be reused to make mobile apps for iOS / Android which does the same? Or are there restrictions on the device functions it would access to on the mobile platforms?

This is an article about this phenomenon in energy prices. But this may be a good place to base a discussion. Very interested to hear opinions which diverge from my own. ✊

Random @mcuban.bsky.social ping.

Amongst the millions of messages you get. πŸ˜„

But I would love to understand why you prefer the subsidy over the cap.

There may be more far reaching consequences of these approaches and I would really appreciate if someone could outline the long term benefit of the subsidy vs cap πŸ™

I am not sure I agree with this.

A cap limits the price and the amount of profit.

A subsidy does not limit the price or profit but needs to be paid from the public purse.

So from a very basic assessment I would prefer the former.

Comic strip titled 'Types of headaches' with four panels showing a person with a red are indicating the zone of the headache, and a title underneath it indicating the type of headache. The first panel is for Migraine, and the red area occupies the right side of the forehead and eye. The second panel is for stress, and the red area is the forehead and both sides of the head. The third panel is for tension, and the red area is around the forehead. The fourth panel is for Tailwind, and the whole head and body are red.

Is it possible to have a modal alert when there is a new update on iOS? πŸ™

We have had to introduce that for our app as iOS does not auto update. The AppStore also has a bug where it doesn’t show an update available unless you specifically open the Bluesky page in the AppStore.

In the non-Sam Altman / MS contract take:

A push to replace the majority of jobs with a less capable but
replicable and 24/7-available workforce.

They don’t have to be good at a job if they are quick and always available.

TLDR: bad times.

Theft is here to stay.
Lies. Poverty. Bias. Inaccuracy.

We can be aware or something existing. But yet be critical of its impact. And wary of its implementation.
