It's ~21% the cost of a home, it's actually the single most costly and labor intense category. That being said it does only take 14-21 days to frame a home.
At scale it takes significantly less time because the designs are familiar and there are not mobilizations and demobilizations. The next framing job is on the next lot.
So if a technology could cut that cost in half it would be desirable even if it took twice as long because in real terms your final cost drops 10% and only takes 2 more weeks.

NOTE: If you're in the Philippines or Brazil please apply to the open position, we're still working out those positions exactly so there's no specific job posting yet.
We stick frame homes using traditional American building approaches but we use robots to do it.
We're looking for Software, Firmware, Electrical, Mechanical, Creatives, Makers, Civil Engineers, and Carpenters to join our eclectic group. This small band makes progress every day towards the end goal: End Homelessness. We've got a long way to go, but that's why we need you.
I took a ride in May in Austin. It was my first time in an driverless car. I took a bunch of notes and emailed Kyle Vogt my thoughts. In the past he's been quite generous with his thoughts on our pitch deck. Anyways, one of the points in my email was that there were several points along the route that seemed to be choke points for cruise. We tried to do the most scientific ride three slightly inebriated people could do. We rode all the way across Cruise's range and tried to experience as many different areas as possible. Generally it was better than I expected, but I still wouldn't feel comfortable putting my kids in yet.
Customer feedback is useful. Understanding product issue frequency and severity is useful. Should they have emailed him to ask about what issues he was aware of before sending their feedback? Should they have asked you? :)
This is awesome! A related problem that currently has no solution I know of is documentation rot. I would definitely pay for a LLM that compared docs and code and told me if they got too far apart.
Why isn't this a feature of documentation frameworks? Like it could be just a simple, "Hey, I see this function in the codebase has changed since the time you wrote the documemtation for it, do you want to update it's description?"
I would definitely be at danger of getting into the habit of just saying no if I was asked everytime it changed, especially early in the dev cycle. However, if it was just at pull request time, I probably wouldn't get frustrated with it.
I was looking into this the other week, I couldn't find a CGM supplier in the US that would sell dtc. I don't need it for any medical reasons. Im just interested in the data. Anyone know of a supplier?
You need a prescription, since it is a medical device. Ask your doctor and you can probably get a starter kit. You will have to wear it in order to generate the data you want. Each sensor only lasts 10 days or so. Transmitters last 3-4 months and you can hack in a new battery. Without insurance, the sensors run $300 for a 3pack. And transmitters are $150.
You might be better off finding a diabetic friend if you just want to capture data and reverse eng protocols
I got mine from Levels. They use the same sensor as mentioned in the article, and wrap it with their own app. Very easy to deal with. They are trying to limit demand so you need an invite code, but you can find one on Google in 5 minutes.
Veri/Levels as others mentioned if you dont mind paying $$ and want the fancy data viz and UI ...or just sign up for a free (15$ really) trial of the freestyle libre here: https://www.freestyle.abbott/us-en/myfreestyle.html . It'll ask you if you're a diabetic and you just click yes
Are there any apps that can read the NFC data from the FreeStyle libre? I don't want to deal with yet another device that you need to use to read data + upload.
Freestyle Libre has their own app. I havent tried it yet though but its supposed to be not great. I assume its good enough to watch trends for a non-diabetic seeking glycemic feedback on their meal
