Wow really nice. I am wondering how easy is it then to transfer the code to a webhoster and manage packages, update and security risks?

I am not a developer (can edit a few lines) but would be a target customer for these. I just wonder how to manage these risks compared to let’s say a CMS.


So it's already hosted for you, you don't have to do anything to get a production ready URL.

But yeah if you want your own hosting for some reason you own the code and can take it to a provider like Netlify or Github Pages fairly easily.

Send me an email at viktor@lovable.dev if you have any questions :)


The lab is not incredibly low throughput but also most of the experiments look at a single modality. Take a cell viability or FACS assay - while some additional measurements could be taken or analysed - most of the time the scientist will look at a single parameter. In a separate assay the cell (other passage/day) will be undertaken another assay resulting in nearly incomparable data.

The solution: Multimodal data and getting more info on experiments setup (often a bit of voodoo and not written down properly).


Seems like I am not alone - I still tried for 4 years to make it work in pharma but realised that spending 3 days to grow primary cells to just get irreproducible results was not going go be satisfying.


As a PM I am constantly discussing this topic with our founder. And I agree that it is not a magical on time event.

In our startup we have 3 or 4 large areas - on being data acquisition from legacy devices which gets us most of our B2B contracts. Yes there is a problem to solve as most of our customers don’t want to do it and we have now building blocks.

The problem: All our other areas like data analytics and other more fancy and higher margin areas we fail to achieve PMF and therefore since years we struggle to grow. What is it when only a small part of your company/product has PMF and another to expand (we can’t go to kore customers as specific market)?


Looks interesting from the tech perspective. I was nearly going to buy two for my kids. We don’t go to festivals but now and then on larger events and a fun toy.

But looking at the size I am a bit hesitant. Airtag does the job and soon they will have a cellphone…


It's cool tech and there seems like lots of opportunities: tracking kids, event security (tie the device to the 'ticket'), disaster emergency (how many people in this area).

They don't talk about battery life. Isn't the Airtag an RFID reactive (no battery) device? A big difference.


AirTags have batteries. They are good for about a year. Unfortunately they still depend on iPhones/iPads to detect and report location over any meaningful distance - this device is intended for use in large, outdoor areas (to minimize location inaccuracy) like music festivals or big outdoor sporting events.

This device claims 24-36 hours per charge. Actual specs are on the "preorder now" page. Claims 35g weight and dimensions of 50 mm diameter and 15 mm thickness.

I could definitely see families buying these before a theme park trip. Compared to the total cost of a Disney trip for four or five, $200 (4 @ $50) or $235 (5 @ $47) is a drop in the bucket.


I am still trying to understand what it has ontop of fun tech:

- small kids would find their way back in their own compared to a airtag as they have am arrow. But then you don’t really have a map to understand where they are.

- bigger kids have cell phones with locations sharing and sms/whatsapp I don’t see the need.

As much as I try to find a reason to buy I can’t for family usecases (except as a toy for fun) and on occasion where the towers are overloaded.


Overloaded towers and a desire for silent SOS.

It's been a long time since I have been subjected to Disneyworld, but the Verizon service there ~ten years ago was awful.

I don't think of this so much as a way for kids to find mom and dad as a way for mom and dad to find the kids. Since it's designed to be operable by people who are high as hell, it's necessarily simple.


Cool idea. A few thoughts - the icon and fonts in my opinion are not great. Maybe train you models on some of these more modern looking ppt libraries (can’t recall the name).

Else: I always liked infographics with also some more data viz/graphics - optimally it could get it from some opendata/publication incl source?!


Thank you for your suggestions. I agree that the choice of font and icons is significant. I will improve upon these elements. Additionally, I plan to integrate a data chart into the graphics to enhance the visual presentation.


Why do recent layoff often need to attach something with AI? Few companies have even found a solid revenue model or recurring paying customers.

I can only guess but saying layoff because of AI sounds better than « layoff » (because of mismanagement)?


Yeah, it probably is an attempt to hide the blood in the water. They tell their competitors they aren't weak, they've just found a way to be more efficient through the use of AI. And sure maybe a couple hundred folks were replaced by some streamlined AI tooling but this is a ridiculous amount of folks to replace with AI, if it were true.

So yeah, AI. Inflation. Overhiring during the pandemic. Supply chain issues. All the usual excuses to never admit mismanagement.


China’s collapsing economy (30% of the world gdp) is also having an impact.


Even if (as you should) you dispute their exact growth figures, China's economy is not collapsing.


It’s collapsing relative to the assumptions people made about growth. FDIC is down nearly 10x.


I agree, I don’t think this will magically inspire other countries to waive visas for Namibian.

I guess it’s a cash grab - if you already pay thousands for your flight ticket then let’s just ask tourists and businesses traveller's for 90USD.

What worries me is that we will soon see this everywhere with the recent hate over (mass) tourism and the make-money-everywhere attitude.


We don’t want that people use metal detectors to find archeological material but we want to find archeological material and know everything about it.

Maybe there is a way to deal with it? With licenses/permits including training and a ban on reselling?


I assume there is a kind of permit system, given the "unless you have written permission from the government" part


You can apply for a permit - you usually only will get one for a specific area if you are an archaeologist associated with a university or a museum or something apparently.

The law is intended specifically to prevent random people digging up stuff and causing damage to historic sites.


‘When metal detectors are outlawed, only outlaws will have metal detectors’?


Man, I've missed classic Slashdot-style "didn't read TFA".


My boss is like this. Very unpredictable person and I don’t think it is healthy for anyone. Generally speaking I will know this is a massive red flag for future jobs.
