As someone who makes a living in PowerPoint but loves tech and FOSS, congrats. I'm not sure I fully follow how collaborating works, you may want to write an explainer that assumes nearly zero engineering knowledge. Looking forward to the docx and xlsx version, I'll follow on gh to stay up to date
Thanks for the kind words. To collab, it's simple, go into share and click on invite, then it will save a HTML file with an invite key. Just send this to the person you want to share the session with, and they will automatically connect and join the session when they first open it in their browser.
The examples shared are impressive but based on extremely high ISO and looking at noise on a 10x cropped area of worst case scenarios. To most of us it won't make a noticeable difference on all but a small handful of images per year, if that.
My dad went to one when his cancer entered the terminal phase, I think he knew it was bullsh*t but it was a more human « treatment » than everything else he went through so he liked it. I still think it was a charlatan preying on him but I guess no more amoral than crystals moms and essential oils MLMs.
I don't get how anybody gets into essential oil MLMs. I have a $20 ultrasonic diffuser and buy $10 bottles of things like Lavender extract from my food co-op which will last me for years.
Lately I have been stirring the cauldron and getting to know quite a few witchy women and there are a lot of them who make and sell their own essential oil products that are like the MLM products but don't have the upline and all it entails. Still I think "just get a diffuser".
I wanted to reply to your Baumol stuff proper but it took too long. I havent stuck the marketing copy so it will have for another time. (Quick and dirty slogan: Baumol is when linearizing the real economy of agents either as N 1<->1 or 1<->N interactions instead of N^2 --- as a high energy physicist would-- goes wrong)
Are those 20ml bottles? Here they can be gotten for cents. Essential oils are a big part of the Indian take on the Shenzhen mom-and-pop microfactories that directly preceded DJI. (& gave us those standard ultrasonic diffusers! ~2USD btw & we love the trade deficit)
I imagine the 5-person Indian oils businesses will be a skeleton for a nonChinese solar(-chem-)punk future..
Concentrated enough to be useful, impure enough to force robustness into the process design from the getgo.. but! far from the Baumol regime, if we don't have these MLMs..
(I meant, that it isn't worthwhile to train a new generation of Jony Ives on bottles or diffusers, but I will be happy to be wrong. Scentology remains a black magic)
I'm a non engineer, never-coder but fairly technical guy and about a year ago I had Lovable.dev write me a static site generator because I understood the value of it to host cheaply/freely and thought it'd be a good exercise. It takes .md files with a basic YAML frontmatter and publishes just the blog part (each .md file is blog post) of the site, but it was a good learning process and I think most people don't understand how simple the web can be when the goal is to publish content efficiently.
Business/Office productivity tools can be productive at that rate. Core systems like ERP or arguably CRM can't, but MS Teams is probably already that low, Figma, Canva and several others could absolutely afford to be one nine before it affects their churn materially. I suspect OpenAI and Anthropic make most of their profit on business use cases rather than dev use cases (likely higher revenue but less profit) so this may be what sets the standard of uptime.
Car seats have also deterred me from a few trips, short and long. They're a hassle to get an uber and store at destination (say a sporting event), and they are a nightmare to lug around airports and add to the effective travel time by if you end up checking them in as luggage (and then waiting for them at the carousel).
Traveling with kids in car seats via any method other than one’s own vehicle is almost not worth the hassle. I always rent a car and car seat on the other end, or purchase a car seat for family to put in their car for us. I’ve also purchased strollers to stash with the same family. I’d rather buy all this than lug it through airports for “free.”
And in the type of work where AI arguably yields productivity gains the workers have high agency and may pay for their own tooling without telling their employers. Case in point, me, I have access to CoPilot via my employer but don't use it because I prefer my self-paid ChatGPT subscription. If Ai-lift in productivity is measured on the condition that I use Copilot then the resulting metric misses my AI usage entirely and my productivity improvement are not attributed to their real cause.
Agreed, the content implied by the title but not delivered would be substantially more interesting, especially if compared to Product Hunt, or other places fraught with launch announcement of small solo dev projects.
