We do get a fair number of disputes like the author where customers will cancel after getting billed, and then dispute it, even though we always give refunds to people who email and ask for one. It also feels like there's been a significant up-tick in recent months of disputes like these, maybe a reflection of the current economic climate. Hard to blame the customer though, for all the reasons listed by the top comment -- sometimes it's just easier to do it through the bank than figure out how to cancel through an app you forgot you even subscribed to.
When something doesn't have a reference listed, and just says "sourced from a publicly available first-party datasource", what does that mean? Crawled from other sources and you'd prefer not to say? The wording does feel a little sketchy when contrasted with entries that do list sources.
When something does list references that don't seem super close to the actual food, what is the process like there for interpreting those values? Example, this Chicken Salad inheriting from Chicken Spread: https://www.opennutrition.app/search/chicken-salad-37mAX17YX...
The quality of the data might feel rough now, but I can see this being valuable for our users even if it's just an opt-in "show estimated micronutrients" or something. Would require labeling values as not being directly from a source of truth.
One thing that a lot of people are missing is that there is already a lot of inaccurate nutrition data out there. Even on information directly from the manufacturer, sometimes there are errors, or just old versions of the product that never get scrubbed from the internet (I imagine the latter case would be tricky for an LLM to deal with too). Just logging your dietary intake in any form will get you 80% of the benefit of tracking via some self awareness of your intake. Of course, it's an easy argument to point out that if you had the choice between verified data and fuzzy LLM data, you should go for the human verified data (for now).
No doubt this and nativescript have improved since then, but from my early impressions, I wouldn't have recommended nativescript for anything other than the simplest of interface needs.
A screen would be useful for showing the details of how it misestimated the almond count, and let you adjust them.
I'm curious who it was though if you find the podcast again.
If you're a fan of this type of art, https://www.reddit.com/r/wimmelbilder/ is full of good stuff.
It could be more solid, but the part of the bendy neck closest to the keyboard is resting on the chair's armrest, and that's what gives it most of its stability. These guys[0] put 1/4-20 screw holes on the bottom of their split keyboards, I wish everyone did that.
Keyboard is a Dygma raise, chair is a zero gravity recliner (got it used off craigslist, but the patio versions you can get delivered for cheap are similarly comfortable).
The bottom rectangle is 12" x 24", and then the top/side pipes are 36" each.
It's a bunch of steel pipe from Home Depot, and sturdy enough you could do pullups on it. The pipe isn't super cheap, was around $200 total I think. I went with 1 inch diameter because it would hold the monitor arms better, but you could go thinner and cheaper with a different monitor mounting solution.
Getting out is a bit of an exercise. I push myself up on the armrests, pull my legs in, and then step out over the left side. The whole monitor setup is on wheels, so if I had the whole thing further away from the wall, I could just roll it away from me and get out normally.
