Brazil has the opposite of high taxes, especially for company owners. I remember paying 6% on income, compared to up to 70% in Sweden.

I don't know!

These are valid points, taken to the extreme we will have apps that cannot be supported.

In short term, we already have SQL/reports being automated. Lovable etc is experimenting with generating user interfaces from prompts, soon we will have complete working apps from a prompt. Why not have one core that you can expand via a prompt?

I am currently studying and depending heavily on Anki, its been amazing to use Claude Code to add new functionality on the fly. Its a holy mess of inconsistent/broken UX but it so clearly gives me value over the core version. Sometimes it breaks, but CC can usually fix it within a prompt or two.

Agents will still have to communicate with each other, the communication protocols, how data is stored, presented and queried will be important for us to decide?

Will we stop using web browsers as we understand them today in the next few decades in favor of only interacting with agents? Maybe.

One of the most interesting aspects is when LLMs are cheap and small enough so that apps can ship with a builtin one so that it can adjust code for each user based on input/usage patterns.

The goal of the scheduling algorithm is to predict the optimal time for when you need to review your card again. FSRS has a bunch of parameters tja you can customize based on previous learning attempts, usually a few 100 cards is enough to adapt to your own learning abilities, but in current Anki versions you need to manually update the parameters to optimize your learning.

No kidding, it is really good especially with htmx which helps you get some of the advantages of a full SPA without the complexity of a separate frontend.

Been building a project in the side to help my studies and it usually implement new complete apps from one prompt, working on the first try

I personally choose Django as often as I can, the tooling is considerably better and the ecosystem is significantly larger. Admin is a killer app until you know exactly what you're developing. It's trivial to setup tests with pytest-django, use with a mypy via django-stubs, with django-ninja you can fastapi like routes and models based on pydantic, etc etc etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME does a reasonably good job explaining the history:

GNOME was started on 15 August 1997 by Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena as a free software project to develop a desktop environment and applications for it. It was founded in part because the K Desktop Environment, which was growing in popularity, relied on the Qt widget toolkit which used a proprietary software license until version 2.0 (June 1999). In place of Qt, GTK (GNOME Toolkit, at that time called GIMP Toolkit) was chosen as the base of GNOME. GTK is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), a free software license that allows software linking to it to use a much wider set of licenses, including proprietary software licenses. GNOME itself is licensed under the LGPL for its libraries and the GNU General Public License (GPL) for its applications.

There are 50000 IU capsules readily available on many stores.

Taking 100000 IU per day for months/years is not necessarily toxic, especially when reducing calcium intake.

I meant 80k. See studies from Dr Cicero Coimbra for more background if you're interested.

Surprisingly few problems. Wife has been doing 80k a day for the past few years and have help tremendously with her auto immune decease.

If you're going to do high doses, stay away from anything with significant amount of calcium in your food (dairy, nuts etc)

SparkMeter | Infrastructure Engineer (Automation Focus) | Waltham, MA | Full-time, ONSITE with flexible work location and schedule | http://www.sparkmeter.io/en/jobs/infrastructureengineeraf/

Come join SparkMeter’s Systems team and help increase electricity access in developing countries. As an Infrastructure Engineer with an automation focus, you’ll build the tools and architecture that will allow us to expand our affordable smart metering systems to new microgrid and central grid utilities.

At SparkMeter, we believe in embracing automation, and our team takes every opportunity to reduce manual work or remove workarounds using tools like Fabric, Chef, and Docker. You’ll officially own automation for the Systems team, creating new tools and taking over the maintenance of existing tools that others across the organization will use every day. This will include improving automation for our software release process, automating the (now largely manual) provisioning of the Linux base stations at the core of our smart metering system, and generally building and maintaining the tools that help make it easy for us to efficiently manage a growing herd of servers and devices.

SparkMeter’s core value is opportunity: the opportunity for underserved communities to achieve great things. That's why our mission is to increase access to electricity in underserved communities - it is electricity and the services derived from it that unlock and create those opportunities. This value is reflected in our hiring ethos: we believe that the strongest teams have diverse backgrounds. Our approach to hiring has been validated by academic and industry studies that show that workforce diversity improves team and business performance. (It has also been validated by the quality of the team we’ve assembled so far!) We encourage applications from members of groups currently underrepresented in software engineering.

I'm sure that the phone operators were very happy to comply to ban, they hate WhatsApp. When WhatsApp first got popular here it ended their very lucrative business of SMS and more recently they introduced VOIP calls which considerably cheaper than normal phone calls, especially long distance.

Three of the major phone operators (Vivo, Claro, TIM) implemented the ban, while the fourth (Oi), did not. The CEO of Vivo, one of the major phone operators, came out a couple of months ago saying that WhatsApp is "piracy", since they are not affected by the same regulations as the normal phone operator.[1]

Public infrastructure needs to be financed somehow and it would make most sense to do so based on usage of them. Energy tax, vehicle purchase tax or tolls are the three main options to do that as far as I can see.

Combustion taxes makes sense if it's only used by transportation means, but that is not the case of electric energy. You could tax at the plug/socket level, but that's probably something that will be easy to tamper with.

There could always be something fancy such as remotely tracking the vehicles, but that will open a can of privacy worms.

The only viable option is to do tolls. Not necessarily representative of actual use, but a good enough approximation of use.

I was in a similiar situation a few years back, had to stop working due to the pain. Went to a loads of doctors, tried medication, fancy keyboards, changing chairs, improving postures, raising monitors, switching mouse arm etc. It all helped a little, but nothing solved it. 12-18 months of gym/pilates helped in the end, after gaining strength in my hands, wrists and arms I was able to go back to full time working again, without feeling pain.
