I like my H2D, but it definitely hit a brick wall. I replaced it, and had the same issue with one of the nozzles not printing consistently.
This was after around 700 hours, which isn’t terrible, but working with their support is exhausting. I don’t think I’m going to touch it again until winter, unfortunately.
On the tooling I've made? Feel free to ask here or via email, the Salesforce one was for a fairly large (50k+ employees) company that uses it very extensively but as it often happens they're stuck with a ton of legacy crap. They have some of the AI tooling from SFDC but barely use it (lack of training, or interest) so this solves their immediate problem.
I'm very keen to use their new dynamic workflows (cf's durable execution engine) which would let agents write workflow steps, that way my users can ask an agent to do stuff like "run this report daily and email it to me" and it can work with minimal setup (very basic example, but you get the idea)
I am pretty sure I am going to file this away for some copypastas when I want to confuse someone. I’ll just have ChatGPT or whatever swap out some words.
We were robbed of the end to that game. I loved it so much and will always wonder what closure I would have been robbed of if they had just completed it.
Correct. The constraint is the human’s ability to internalize and make tradeoffs. This will continue to shift and there will be fewer decisions that rely on humans relative to the work being completed, but the humans will still remain the constraint in many types of complex work for some time to come.
I've had a great experience with cloudflare pages. It doesn't get much easier than using their cli (wrangler) to sync up a local folder. I suppose the exception is SSR, but then again I absolutely despise SSR so I don't think it counts.
Started my career working in AI for a company that had a couple large refineries (I didnt dare refer to what we were doing as statistics because those guys had all been fired a decade before after attempting to perform some back magic they called six sigma), pipelines, a fleet of ethanol plants (at the time) and a couple biodiesel bets, including one that attempted to convert corn oil into biodiesel.
I was blessed to have a leader who wanted us to spend a lot of time on the field, working turnarounds doing, whatever I could to be helpful, etc. to learn the business and build relationships.
Working around the refineries, especially during turnaround, was a crash course in constraint theory and economics.
Good times.
At any rate, all of that was to qualify that most people would not believe how much time and money has been wasted trying to find innovative new ways to serve and capitalize on the CA biodiesel market.
" ... most people would not believe how much time and money has been wasted trying to find innovative new ways to serve and capitalize on the CA biodiesel market"
I am curious as to what is meant. Refinery side innovation or marketing or other?
In Australia over the years there's been a heavy focus on bio fuels and not any mention of renewable diesel or jet fuel. News items focus on modern vehicles, and not older diesels that of course could run on peanut or coconut oil without any chemical modification.
My locale (Northern Central Queensland Aust) bio-diesel is often produced small scale by individuals and not enough to be a statistic that I can find as a percentage of use in the state. Scaling up shouldn't be a problem in itself, it's just reluctance to use the present food oils as stock.
