Question: Anyone know if this is open internationally or is just for European Residents?

Reproducing it verbatim;

“Palantir is a tech platform that consumes data from their clients in return for providing high level data-driven insights. They assign FDEs (or consultants) to really learn the details of a customers data. Foundry allows them to get single pane view of the data in an org and they actually have both the tech and engineering skills to do the dirty data cleaning jobs.

For an extravagant fee, you give them your data, they clean it for you, and then those same FDEs can tell you interesting things that you should have known, had you actually done proper data architecture in the first place.”

The first half is true. They bring in their FDEs to clean and organize your data.

But the difference in what they leave behind is what separates them from classic consultancies and pure tech companies.

They don't leave behind "insights." They leave behind a suite of operational (ie have write capabilities not just dashboards) applications that are "custom" built to actually solve those insights. I put custom in quotes because while the applications are usually bespoke to your company, they are built in Palantir's app-building product Workshop, which significantly lowers the cost of building these custom apps.

So in the end, your company's processes are improved because your employees are using the apps that the FDE's built.

This is distinct from traditional consultancies because those will only leave behind the insights. Also distinct from most SaaS because those have a one-size-fits all approach, so you wind up having to change your company to fit the design of the application, where as Palantir builds its applications to fit your company.

Server Racks - you don’t interact with them often, but you will need to with the Hydroponics one.

Also, your setup is too clean. Water will drip, spill, the pebbles will fall. Looks really nice, though.

About 5 years ago, I worked with a Climate Research Scientist friend, growing exotic plants in dutch-buckets, tower aeroponics, and rack mounted red-lit setups to induce Vitamin B-12 (only found in meat, so deficiencies develops in vegetarian) to Spinach trying to produce Super Spinash.

Do you have some sort of inoculation step and then use red light to penetrate the spinach leaves to feed light energy to the bacteria?

Worth a mention as many door frames are easier to remove than a number of people might suspect .. fewer pieces to disassemble than many {object}'s and not an uncommon hack when moving furniture.

Luckily it was wooden.

The three are “Owned, Earned, and Paid” Media. The best is when you own or can control the distribution channels.

Many times, I’ve been “surprised” to find that, within a span of few hours, many people on LinkedIn/Twitter share similar anecdotes, punchlines, realizations, and everything in between. Of course, they all end with asking to say the MAGIC word(s) to reward the “selected few” in their DMs.

Gone are the days when we used to just give things out - here is the link to the zip file, download and do whatever you want.

Go ahead, “Say friend and enter.”

Edit/Update: About that “Tell”, honestly, I think a lot too many have no clue.

Veronica is an ultra-light MacBook based on Neo, lighter than the MacBook Air. It becomes way more powerful once you connect your iPhone directly.

Reference: Veronica is the Iron Man Armor that snaps onto Iron Man to handle Hulk.

It does look like more and more apps/tools are going to come built-in with - you can either type or talk - go wild.

Ask: Someone commented some time back that they mapped their CAPSLOCK key to push-to-talk. I’ve looked around and could not figure out without a third party tool. I’d love to know how to do it in macOS - map the un-used CAPSLOCK Key to Push to Talk.

Also it takes about 500ms to activate after you press SPACE, so the initial words are missed out. It took me some time to realize it.

Does Handy has a better speech-to-text accuracy? Is there an activation delay?

   ```
   {
    "description": "Caps Lock to Option+Space (Handy push-to-talk)",
    "manipulators": [
        {
            "from": { "key_code": "caps_lock" },
            "to": [
                {
                    "key_code": "spacebar",
                    "modifiers": ["left_option"]
                }
            ],
            "type": "basic"
        }
    ]
   }
   ```

If I use Calyx but I have set up macOS to be non liquid glassy as much as possible with Accessibility features, etc. will Calyx just be GHostty?

On the accessibility point, if you disable transparency effects, the glass parts will respect that. But Calyx won't just become Ghostty. The features beyond glass (tab groups, command palette, session persistence, notifications, browser tabs, git viewer, etc.) are all still there. Glass is the visual layer, not the core of what Calyx adds.
