Me too. I don't understand why companies think we devs need a custom chat on their website when we all have access to a chat with much smarter models open in a different tab.
That's not what they are thinking. They are thinking: "We want to capture the dev and make them use our model – since it is easier to use it in our tab, it can afford to be inferior. This way we get lots of tasty, tasty user data."
> Is there a law mandating realtime reporting, or something
Not real time in WA, but all records are public and reported fairly consistently. See https://www.topshelfdata.com for an example of that.
> or are there just limited number of POS providers and they all have realtime API(s)?
This is Headset who is probably the largest retail POS provider (amongst other offerings on the producer/processor side and more) for legal marijuana sales. I'm assuming the data presented here is exclusively from their POS platform. I don't know of any public sources for real time sales data.
> I bet the dashboard doesn't have Johnny from my street corner's transaction...
Yes I'd also bet Johnny doesn't report his sales to a central database/platform.
Not sure what more substance you need, we integrate with close to 30 different POS providers, that's it. There is no law mandating realtime reporting. Every transaction from thousands of retailers is represented... What more do you want to know?
It's high potency THC with things like live resin to get you even higher. It's marketed casually like alcohol. Teens and new adults casually getting into this stuff will have issues especially if they are predisposed to a variety of mental issues. The same is true for people who are depressed and use alcohol to "chill out", it's never ends well. We as a society don't have any clue when we roll out these "new features" on every corner. Same with anything, same with video games, same with social media. Your seven year old is addicted to tiktok, imagine that. Your 15 year old can't turn the fucking video games off. Your 25 year old can't put Instagram down. I'm not even talking about the whole class of drug addicts. Now imagine being addicted to all fucking 5 of those things? Then you get the 30 year old in therapy.
I would personally limit the number of purchases like we do Pseudoephedrine, and if you need more, get a medical prescription. We'll probably realize this in about 20 years, like we are finally realizing about social media. Social media needs to be 18+, like porn sites. Took us 20 years, but many places are doing it. We never have a serious discussion about anything when we roll it out. Alcohol on every corner and supermarket was one of the stupidest things we ever did.
I think of it as an equivalent to drinking alcohol. If someone is "waking and baking" every day then they have a substance abuse problem just as if they were waking up and driving half a bottle of scotch.
Concentrates make up a small percentage of total sales as you can see on the category chart. A certain number of consumers will have trouble regulating consumption, but that is true with many things like alcohol, nicotine, cheeseburgers. I don't think going back to the prohibition era of alcohol is quite the solution.
Yes we do. Drugs are not new. We're tired of prohibition and the needless human suffering it has bought about. It has not and will never work. The answer is education and mental health services. Not treating the public like children.
I won't fight you on this. I just need a few people here to testify that, no, we actually don't have a fucking clue. I cannot tell you why all the kids are addicted to every digital thing imaginable, other than, it's highly accessible and marketed like-so. What extra education and social services is going to stop it? Now you want to introduce another substance alongside Alcohol on every corner. We literally need limitations. Someone else get my back here.
I vape dude, my "peers" are teenagers. I'm an adult, and every kid I see vapes. Now I actually regret picking this stupid username because I never actually stopped to think that HN has young people here. Now that I think about it, I had a convo with some college kid inquiring about Nicotine patches from me on Discord because I kinda mentioned I was trying to stop vaping lol. What the hell is going on out there? They are literally into every bad thing, and we just kinda go like "well the adults need it 24/7 so no rules".
When you mix alcohol and thc, it's a full drug cocktail. It takes nothing but a brisk 5 minute walk to get both in a major city.
Edit:
Deliberately enough, this is on the frontpage of CNN today:
> I cannot tell you why all the kids are addicted to every digital thing imaginable
"They speak of my drinking but not of my thirst"
I think it's important to have safeguards around substances like alcohol and THC, age restrictions, education, etc. But we also should think about why people turn to these things. If kids are vaping and spending hours scrolling on social media, maybe we should assess what can be done to bring their attention away from those things and towards activities, third spaces, and offer non-substance ways to alleviate stress and anxiety. Some of these things are available, but perhaps not in the ratio required to make a dent in the substance/media usage.
> As with all of these agencies, I think it's important to caution against complete slash and burn, but I am also curious to see the receipts. Post the data and let me decide for myself.
Here you go, the data is of course available because that is what our laws require. They are under the Department of Commerce, which in total makes up less than 2% of the annual budget. If your argument is that NOAA is running on old infrastructure, then a modernization project should be prioritized, but that is _certainly_ not a way to save money.
Because some morons think everything needs to be a business. We can't possibly be spending money on something unless it is generating money back, ignoring the fact that it is providing a service to make our lives better.
Interestingly, nobody seems to be concerned that the military ($841.4B budget) doesn't generate revenue and isn't run like a business. But everything else in the government should pay for itself?
Are these the same people who think that if you cut funding for HUD and other agencies concerned with helping the poor, the poor with just magically find jobs, join churches, and pay their own way like "proper humans"?
If they keep up Project 2025, I predict in about 10 years, they are going to get a very rude awakening, if not sooner.

You are optimistic. The supporters of Trump and his ilk ignore consistency as a rule. The exact same thing they insisted trump will never do so it's okay for him to be in power, they will then insist that actually no it's a good thing trump is doing that.
They opt in to a media environment wholly held by Rupert Murdoch, Elon, and Trump. They reject any reporting from other groups on principle. They keep saying "I haven't seen any <blank>" for any of the awful ideas this admin has because they literally don't see anything Fox News and friends haven't shown them. They get marching orders, not information.
Christ, it was only a few years ago that they insisted that Roe V Wade was "settled law" and totally safe and nobody wants to ban abortion and within a month of the lawsuit being brought, the entire narrative had switched to full bore "umm actually it's really bad ruling so we should get rid of it even though we make no effort to protect abortion rights also abortion is bad"
The true believers in Germany took until the red army was in berlin before they really fucking got that the Nazis had filled them with lies, were utterly incompetent, and had thrown millions of their best boys to die for a conspiracy theory. I hope it's also clear from things going on in germany right now, plenty of true believers didn't even figure it out then!
If trump continues Project 2025, you WILL be hearing how women are actually too hormonal and emotional to manage money and shouldn't be allowed to have credit cards. You WILL be hearing about how single mothers shouldn't be allowed to raise kids and so we should end no fault divorce.
How does the appointment of Bondi (AG) and Gabbard (DNI) fit into this evil plan? Are some women more womany than others? RvW was never 'settled law', it was a court decision and the Supreme Court said after 50 years, "enough is enough." Supermajorities of both parties neglected to codify it any which particular way or the other as a result of cowardice. It was our electeds that failed us, not the court. As the 50th year anniversary approached, you'd expect something to happen. I say this to everyone whether they are claiming victory or defeat. I didn't want it to revert back to the states, but generations of Congress evidently did.
Long term climate is not weather forecasting. Our 7-days are getting pretty good, though they run a bit warm (watch the high peaks on the temp forecast sink a little on successive days as they approach tomorrow.) Some of NOAA's long climate forecasts are actually a danger to NatSec because they misrepresent the likelihood and impact of severe Winter events. Go ahead, read between the lines of what I am saying.
So basically we are down to relying on the cycle of life as the ultimate check and balance. Hopefully he won't appoint one of his sons as his successor like in North Korea.
I don't think they could release computer use for $20/month plan. It seems super expensive and you could easily involve Claude for hours of work for manual tasks like data entry or data cleaning.
yeah, that's what it seems like. As of today, there's no additional features I notice compared to having a Safari-based desktop version of this (which I uninstalled to install this one).
