I believe most prepaid visa gift cards are being monetized in this way. https://www.walmartgift.com/AcctMgmt/Controls/WalMartGiftCar...

Ive heard of casinos trying to pay out winnings using some kind of prepaid card, where theyd also get info about how people spent their casino winnings. Lots of ways to leverage that data.


Prepaid cards are great for the vendor because they have breakage (the unspent amount before expiry). I doubt the data is worth much relative to that. If anything, they have much less of a tie to the individual.

How well is Laravel doing nowadays?

Yeah! So is Taylor otwell, the primary source to whom I linked.

Can I take the output of this and get a fully assembled board mailed to me? Thats my dream...

It seems like this is just controlling KiCad. Assuming this produces a BOM as well, you could take the output files, send them to a board house like PCBWay or JLPCB and get the boards stuffed and shipped to you.

The board houses may have questions for you that may be difficult for you to answer, but theoretically you could answer those with AI and get fully assembled boards delivered right to your doorstep.


not quite. copperhead operates on its own hardware IR, compiles verified KiCad files and generates manufacturing outputs.

we're also building a design house around it to close the loop with fabs, handle DFM questions and eventually let you hit "order" and receive fully assembled boards!


I did that with Codex+Sol alone, and made something even more complex in less time with Codex+Astra over the weekend.

Its maybe more hands on than you want it to be, but you mostly just need to supervise the work. But yes, the CAD outputs go directly to the JLCPCB ordering form, or whereever you fab


Yes.

Look at jlcpcb or other Chinese assembly houses. If you stay within their component library it is dead easy, just upload your gerber and BOM, and you can have assembled boards within a week or so. Slightly more difficult if they have to order parts for your BOM, but still not really that hard.


if I needed something on the board that was outside the component library of the assembly house, can I ship it to them? or have them arrange for it somehow? How constrained is the component library?

Any PCB assembler can help you source outside parts or accept your parts.

Go look at the library, I can’t really tell you if it is constrained for your use case.


Pretty much with the JLC plugin to KiCad.

soon :)

Presumably they have _some_ assets in the USA


Has anyone looked at ar.io and have any opinions on it? They claim you are paying for 200 years upfront with a kind of endowment like setup.


Arweave does what it's designed for right now. When cyberleek came out I went looking for a gateway that wasn't censoring them, found one and downloaded the files using another gateway just to find out if it works (yes it did). You can't do that with a centralized system.

For the endowment setup no one knows if their economic thinking will hold up 100 or even 10 years in the future, so the claims that it's permanent are impossible to verify. I wouldn't call it a scam but I'm not fully convinced.


If I search "healthy" in DoorDash, Taco Bell comes up in the top results


The probes they're using are off the shelf probes used everywhere including on small animals, I don't see how you could compare that to a lithotripsy


Hamilton Morris and his stuff on clandestine chemistry is super interesting in this domain. Sometimes the chemistry is straight forward but access to certain chemicals is hard, so the procedure must change based on what's available not necessarily what's ideal


I'd be really interested in seeing your numbers, I've thought about this.

I do feel like there are some use cases which are cost constrained right now, but that area is getting smaller as local models get better.


Everyone involved benefits from Ticketmaster, and in exchange all Ticketmaster has to do is be the bad guy
