> The transmitter lets out a signal every second on 2.4 gigahertz, which is in the frequency range of Bluetooth receivers. Any smartphone or tablet within 100 meters of a BlūMorpho will acknowledge the signal and pass it on to the Project Monarch server, whether it has the app downloaded on it or not, provided Location Services and Bluetooth are turned on.

Is this accurate? If so, I am really curious how this works. Are they effectively sticking Airtags on butterflies?


Download the app and appears to be working, the paths plotted on the map on the west coast make sense.

Yeah but they state the following:

I wonder why the answer was to turn off the servers instead of turn their cooling back on. Would it not be able to stabilize the temperature fast enough?

The real answer is probably lost in the sands of time but even at 200 people we still had different teams with overlapping responsibilities. It's possible I was the only person reachable and close enough after hours, and while I didn't know where the CRAC unit controls were I did know how to rip power cords out.

Things to Have looks pretty nice; congrats on launching!

It's missing one feature that means I can't migrate from GiftList: allowing multiple accounts to edit a single list.

In addition to my own list, I'm managing lists for my kids. Their mom also needs to be able to manage them. On GiftList she and I can each have our own accounts, I can create lists for our kids, and then I can invite her as a collaborator. I didn't see a way to do something similar on Things to Have.

Also, for purposes of your comparison table- GiftList has an export to csv option.


Thanks! This feature is in making – if you reach me out on support email (can't leave it here, as it will unleash a wave of spam – you can find it in the end of https://thingstohave.app/help), I will be able to open it to you under flag for testing at the end of this week.

Regarding, comparison – I will update it. I have some fact-checking planned soon, as more apps started to offer MCP, and these SEO pages became quite dusty:)


> We now run sustained Jepsen workloads daily alongside our own test suites.

Why would anyone believe you when you say this? From the report:

"Orkes said they ran Jepsen’s existing Postgres test harness to find and resolve issues in ParticleDB prior to this work. However, that same test harness failed immediately when run against ParticleDB 1.1.4. Orkes also stated they tested ParticleDB with SQLancer, which generates far more complex queries than the ones we tested. It is therefore perplexing that nearly every feature we tested exhibited glaring errors, and that our findings seemed to come as a surprise.

Most databases have a test suite which exercises at least basic examples of each feature, and it is customary to run those tests before release, if not continuously. Where were those tests for ParticleDB? How does one add support for NOT NULL constraints without a test which tries to insert at least one NULL value? What development process adds a CHARACTER(10) type without trying to write a string of (e.g.) five characters?

Our findings suggest structural deficiencies in the ParticleDB QA process. Perhaps tests were not run prior to release. Perhaps the test suite was run, but failed to exercise basic functionality. Perhaps engineers entrusted Large Language Models with the work of testing."


It looks like this relies on a new project-based multi-account system. As someone with an existing personal AWS account I wonder if I'll be able to use it.

That looks roughly like a service being hammered by AI agents starting 2025, with no discernible connection to a 2012 acquisition by anyone.


It was 2018. As someone who worked at GitHub during the Microsoft era, I think Microsoft was a pretty reasonable steward of GitHub right up until Copilot started getting popular. After that, leadership stopped investing in the core product and infrastructure and either incentivized people moving into the Copilot org or just fully reorged teams into it regardless.

The load increase from AI is definitely significant, but I think with proper investment they would not be having this many issues.


I think they're talking about https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth-ousts-army-chief-of-sta...

> Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement, sources familiar with the decision told CBS News...

> Two other Army officers were removed from their roles, according to three sources familiar with the matter: Gen. David Hodne, who led the Army's Transformation and Training Command, and Maj. Gen. William Green, who headed the Army's Chaplain Corps...

> Hegseth has fired more than a dozen senior military officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. C.Q. Brown, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Slife and the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse.


> headed the Army's Chaplain Corps

Why this guy? Makes me speculate that it is entirely a political purge where they are trying to groom the military leadership to be entirely filled with loyalists rather than professional soldiers. As a veteran I find this very disheartening.

And of course the first thing the next administration will be obliged to do is fire this cadre and build another, which will fuel the grievances and set up the following cycle. Sigh.

Very cool project!

I saw you were looking for help sourcing things like balloons and gas. https://groups.io/g/GPSL/ worried be a great place to go and ask for help with that, if you haven't already.
