Great question. I think it's informed by what happened to Keiko, the whale from Free Willy, who was never really "free"[1], even after his release. Another risk could be if Wikie and Keijo managed to successfully with a wild

You've identified some real headwinds that the community is facing, but I think the gubernatorial and mid-term legislative elections will shed more light on the future. Maybe research and cultural hubs like Iowa City will just need to

What a fun exercise in obtuseness! I'll stand by my statement though and challenge the entire population of Earth to live in Iowa City at least once. The ball's in their court now. Imagine my crushing disappointment when only a fe

Absolutely! There's no shortage of drinking and football, we are still a college town, but Summer's right around the corner and while the students are (mostly) away, the townies come out to play. The Iowa City Arts Festival or Jaz

Everyone should live in Iowa City at least once in their lives. I love downtown Iowa City. Absolutely adore it. I've spent a lot of time trying to convince family, friends, and anyone who will listen to move here. It's everything

I'll pretend you asked a few questions instead of explaining my work to me without understanding. 1. "Why can't you look at the AI notes during the meeting?" The AI note-takers that I've seen summarize the meeting t

Is Leexi's AI note-taker able to raise its hand in a meeting (or otherwise interrupt) and ask for clarification? As a human note-taker, I find the most impactful result of real-time synthesis is the ability to identify and address conf

I hope you meant "enormous" as in "commendable" because it's a fantastic bargain compared to what they get for that money. $151,360,905 of King County's property tax revenue in 2024 went to the library.[1] From

Anyone have some confident speculation on who this service is targeting? It seems like the goal here is to be fast, reliable, and predictably priced. A lot of the scenarios I'm coming up with are negotiable on at least one of those poi

Good luck with the experiment! I'd recommend trying oat milk too. It's cheaper than almond (usually) and much creamier, but there's not much protein either. If you're amenable to soy, soy milk has a lot of protein, and t
