I had taken one a long while ago in a checkup and my levels were abysmally low. That explained why I was miserable at the time. Supplemented for a bit and it was a stark turn around, but I fell out of the habit of doing it and forgot. I dri

I have some health problems that severely limit my dietary options. I am really grateful to be able to drink milk. I have problems with normal sugar and fructose but not lactose for some reason. It provides some much needed calories.

I started drinking milk a year or two ago. Most milks have vitamin D added. It has made a stark difference in my life and it wasn't until I was looking back saying "I'm a lot happier than I was this time last year" that

I recently pulled DuckDB out of a project after hitting a memory corruption issue in regular usage. Upon investigating, they had an extremely long list of fuzzer-found issues. I just don't understand why someone would start something i

I have a low volume of this work available. If your wife wants to help beta test a site where annotators bid their own rates I would be thrilled. Contact in bio.

We haven't figured out commercial pricing yet. It may be a scale based on company revenue. Targeting bigger businesses though, it will be less than it would cost to develop the model independently, but likely trying to target low 5 fig

It is a little hidden still. On your profile page there should be a sign up link that will take you to Stripe. Feel free to email me. I will post two solicitations tomorrow, one for annotation work and one for plate photographs. It is restr

Thank you! That's honestly very helpful.

Ha! It is a bit public safety focused right now. The first two I will really build out (read: pay people to help with) are license plate recognition and vehicle make/model/year identification. I think those have a decent market. T

I'm building something right now that is a reverse bidding platform for image acquisition and labeling (company makes a solicitation, workers bid) where you get paid per accepted image and label. It will open to US labor first and migh

The iOS feature for silence unknown callers has really been a blessing to my life. I have screenshots of me getting ~10 blocked calls per day. I turn it off when I'm expecting a call, but it saves me so much distraction and rage about

It is actually incredibly easy! If you are using a voip line, it is just a configurable field in the UI. You can do it with any voip phone app (e.g. [1]) and a voip provider (e.g. [2]). I have an old archived video showing it here [3]. It i

I am definitely not talking about the mobile app. I explicitly say site. I talk about the prompts to try to get you to download the mobile app. I also reference a mobile OS and web browser. I have no idea how you could think I'm talkin

In my mind the issue is payments. There is no reasonable way for me to pay a website a fraction of a cent for content, besides by viewing an ad. I'm hoping FedNow will help a bit with this in the US.
