Fair.

There are, however, people who have to seriously avoid certain ingredients, and it is a pain to go through all the fineprint, which is sometimes made quite difficult to read. For example, check the Asian section in your grocery store.

If you are shopping for multiple people in the family, some of which have some restrictions, it is hard to map everything confidently when shopping.

If you are traveling abroad, like Japan for instance, especially with dietary restrictions, an app like this can be quite handy.

with skills, model can easily learn the jargon.
exactly. to mind-meld with your AI, you will have to use/understand quite dense language.
Would love some critique of my thoughts.

These are tentacles that AGI will need.

I’m confused. the declaration does not say anything about swearing fealty to a genocidal foreign government.

Interesting. I was assuming that cooling is basically a non-issue in space. I'll need to read up on that.

wow, one year back, I had made a prediction to a friend that this is the direction that Starlink will head in. I was thinking it would proceed like this:

1. provide internet. 2. provide CDN. 3. Edge Compute. 4. Full-on cloud.

These guys see to be focussing on what is basically offline processing (AI training).

I have released two apps to the Apple Store, and initial 100's of users is easy to get through just organic searches on App Store, and you posting links to some places.

RE: why would people not hold the one that preserves their purchasing power best and that they have most trust in?

That is exactly what they are doing right now - USD.

But for arguments sake, what is the emerging alternative?

Note: you can also use it to replace Xcode on macOS for building iOS software!

Also, there is an MCP Server to bypass Xcode from Cursor: https://github.com/cameroncooke/XcodeBuildMCP

I understand the hypothetical trend being mentioned, and I would even agree with it in absence of stablecoins. See, today, if China & Russia want to trade, they may trade in Ruble or Yuan. Ruble or Yuan don't have to be universally accepted for them to trade. But if I am transacting in stablecoin, I don't want to use anything that is not universally accepted from the get-go. Otherwise, I might as well use Ruble or Yuan. So, even if in theory the stablecoin could be backed by any currency, I am not going to use just any stablecoin, only the one most widely accepted.

In other words, I think Stablecoin is winner-take-all, and USD has already won.

I would like to hear a response to this query too.

But just leaving it here that Gmail has a limit of about 30 custom emails in a single mailbox, no?

Re:Even Tesla's Insurance Arm Is Getting Wrecked on Saturday May 10, 2025 @04:12PM (#43948576)
one legitimate explanation I have heard is that when a Tesla gets in an accident, even with minor damage, they have to replace the Battery, because they are not able to accurately assess the damage to battery and the risk of not changing it. This balloons the insurance cost.

Is "Code Claude Code" a play on "Bob Loblaw"?
