- This is neat. I've spent a lot of time thinking about implementing something similar for my company Eat This Much, but end up pushing it off in favor of focusing on our core meal planning features.
When something doesn't have a reference listed, and just says "sourced from a publicly available first-party datasource", what does that mean? Crawled from other sources and you'd prefer not to say? The wording does feel a little sketchy when contrasted with entries that do list sources.
When something does list references that don't seem super close to the actual food, what is the process like there for interpreting those values? Example, this Chicken Salad inheriting from Chicken Spread: https://www.opennutrition.app/search/chicken-salad-37mAX17YX...
The quality of the data might feel rough now, but I can see this being valuable for our users even if it's just an opt-in "show estimated micronutrients" or something. Would require labeling values as not being directly from a source of truth.
One thing that a lot of people are missing is that there is already a lot of inaccurate nutrition data out there. Even on information directly from the manufacturer, sometimes there are errors, or just old versions of the product that never get scrubbed from the internet (I imagine the latter case would be tricky for an LLM to deal with too). Just logging your dietary intake in any form will get you 80% of the benefit of tracking via some self awareness of your intake. Of course, it's an easy argument to point out that if you had the choice between verified data and fuzzy LLM data, you should go for the human verified data (for now).
- I believe you'll meet the "Added or Free sugar" recommendation with 2 medjool dates, but AFAIK, the guideline isn't as strict on naturally occurring sugars, if there is any guideline at all aside from general carb consumption. Dates also have a surprisingly low glycemic index for how sweet they are.
- My company tried using this a few years ago to build a cross platform app (and hopefully share a lot of code with our svelte web interface). We made a lot of progress in 3-4 months of trying, but we ended up running into too many odd bugs and edge cases that were difficult to debug. We eventually switched to Flutter for the mobile codebase.
No doubt this and nativescript have improved since then, but from my early impressions, I wouldn't have recommended nativescript for anything other than the simplest of interface needs.
- This is amazing. So many easter eggs to click through.
If you're a fan of this type of art, https://www.reddit.com/r/wimmelbilder/ is full of good stuff.
- Nah, they don't have very many mounting solutions available. I tried first using some camera gear / clamps and couldn't get it stuck in the right position, so I ended up using two of these gooseneck mounts: https://www.amazon.com/Tryone-Gooseneck-Tablet-Stand-Compati...
It could be more solid, but the part of the bendy neck closest to the keyboard is resting on the chair's armrest, and that's what gives it most of its stability. These guys[0] put 1/4-20 screw holes on the bottom of their split keyboards, I wish everyone did that.
- Haha yeah. If it's a one-off zoom call, I'll use the background blur feature to avoid explaining anything. If it's someone I talk to regularly, it's whatever, it doesn't look _too_ weird.
Keyboard is a Dygma raise, chair is a zero gravity recliner (got it used off craigslist, but the patio versions you can get delivered for cheap are similarly comfortable).
- It's a zero gravity recliner -- they cost a few thousand dollars new, but they pop up on craigslist every now and then for a few hundred dollars. You can also get a patio version on amazon for $50-100, and it's arguably more comfortable, but less stable. I used one of those for a couple years before upgrading to the leather version.
- Here's a pic of the frame: https://i.imgur.com/BViZJri.jpg
The bottom rectangle is 12" x 24", and then the top/side pipes are 36" each.
It's a bunch of steel pipe from Home Depot, and sturdy enough you could do pullups on it. The pipe isn't super cheap, was around $200 total I think. I went with 1 inch diameter because it would hold the monitor arms better, but you could go thinner and cheaper with a different monitor mounting solution.
- Keyboard: dygma raise. Takes some getting used to, but has been a big improvement over having a keyboard in my lap. Monitors: Left is LG 34GK950F-B, right is a cheaper 32" LG. I wouldn't really recommend either of them. The left one has a great picture, but has developed some weird issues with powering on with my laptop over the past year.

Getting out is a bit of an exercise. I push myself up on the armrests, pull my legs in, and then step out over the left side. The whole monitor setup is on wheels, so if I had the whole thing further away from the wall, I could just roll it away from me and get out normally.
- I'm a big fan of working while reclined. It gets a lot of naysayers, but as long as you're still moving around regularly, my setup has been amazing for me. Pic of setup: https://i.redd.it/8oh29a2zwqu81.jpg

Eat This Much enables you to put your diet on autopilot. You tell us about your goals, budget, and schedule, and we generate a complete meal plan and grocery list to help you reach those goals.
Our company is centered around a set of algorithms that can automatically plan a user's meals, and we're constantly looking for ways to speed them up, improve the recommendations, and more accurately optimize on the user's nutrition targets.
We're looking for someone with experience in optimization algorithms, and building fast, scalable systems. Experience with machine learning is a bonus.
As the Lead Algorithms Engineer, you'll work with us on improving our core product. Our backend is currently written in Golang, and we're looking for someone with significant experience writing Go, though if you can pick it up quickly and otherwise have strong experience in either Java or Python, that works too. We're also looking for a full-stack dev to work with us on building out our Django webserver backend.
Long term, we want to do for eating what the GPS did for driving. Straightforward suggestions on what you can eat next to hit your goals, with automatic rerouting if you ever go off course.

- Sure there is potential for harm. Most mRNAs just tell your cells how to make certain proteins, and there are tons of harmful proteins. You could be instructing your cells to make potent poisons, or instructing them to make all of the proteins necessary for an entire functional virus.
But the person he's responding to is citing methods of harm that aren't realistic.
- As a non-clubhouse user, is this just for supporting creators, or is there something a user might expect in return for sending money?
If I just wanted to support someone, I would think a venmo or cashapp handle is preferable since those are already hooked into my bank account and won't incur fees. I'm guessing this is just a first and necessary step towards adding payments elsewhere in the clubhouse platform though.
We do get a fair number of disputes like the author where customers will cancel after getting billed, and then dispute it, even though we always give refunds to people who email and ask for one. It also feels like there's been a significant up-tick in recent months of disputes like these, maybe a reflection of the current economic climate. Hard to blame the customer though, for all the reasons listed by the top comment -- sometimes it's just easier to do it through the bank than figure out how to cancel through an app you forgot you even subscribed to.
