Can't we just use claude desktop / cli to generate an invoice. In my experience if you provide some skills and access to some data it can generate pretty consistent invoices. No other tools needed at all.

Invoices have strict requirements and having the model accidentally hallucinate and make an incorrect invoice could put you in legal trouble. Besides, why would you pay for tokens instead of using a free tool?

Why would you knowingly generate invoices that are sometimes wrong? That’s probably illegal and certainly going to be a pain in the ass. Why make a critical business function dependent of the availability of an external service when you could easily do it locally?

My clients love non-deterministic invoices.

But if they use "AI" to approve them, you can pray that your "AI" generates an invoice for 100x the amount owed and their "AI" pays!

My Claude can create a reuse a 200% deterministic script that generates invoices tailored exactly to my needs. No way any other tool can match that. You guys live in ancient times

lol, exactly xd

I thought the impact of Thea made heavier elements spread much more evenly towards the surface.

True, but even with that, the amount of siderophile elements like platinum and gold in the crust is much less than in the core of the Earth ("siderophile" means that at the contact between molten iron and molten silicate rock such elements go into the molten iron).

Without that impact, it is assumed that almost no platinum-group metals and gold would have remained in the crust.


> Without that impact, it is assumed that almost no platinum-group metals and gold would have remained in the crust.

Wow, its wild to think of a counterfactual world without gold. Would those metals have emerged to the crust from volcanism or is that material not sourced deeply enough?


Volcanism at most brings material from the upper mantle, but usually such material becomes mixed with material from the crust, while ascending.

The mantle has slightly bigger concentrations of precious metals than the crust, but the concentrations remain many times smaller than in the core.

The reason is that both the mantle and the crust are made mostly of silicate rocks. The mantle is made of heavy silicate rocks and the crust is made of light silicate rocks, which float on the denser mantle.

The metals that are resistant to oxidation do not mix well with silicates, so they tend to segregate from them, and then, being heavier than rocks, they tend to descend towards the core. If they reach the core, then they dissolve into the melted iron.

When lava is expelled by volcanism, the precious metals contained in it usually separate from the silicates together with metal sulfides and arsenides, which makes them easier to find than if they were dispersed uniformly in the rocks. Other elements that ere much more abundant, for instance germanium and gallium, are harder to mine than the precious metals because they are not concentrated in distinct minerals but they are uniformly distributed in many rocks.


Biggest issue is that you need api keys which are extremely expensive. Unusable for normal business.

Only if you don't understand how to control AI. If you understands how it works and have the skills to ride it like a wild horse, you can make yourself a 10x developer. Its maybe a bit of an insult, but you seriously have to change that mindset. AI is not going to be worse tomorrow. It will get better and it will dramatically change our life as developers. Code will no longer be a prominent thing we are working on in the near future.

The internet as we know it is dead. Websites will seize to exist in 2 years from now. On the fly UIs will be generated. Tailored exactly to your ad profile. Content will be either AI slop that's better than humans can ever make or products that are a perfect fit for your spendable part of your wallet

what a load of nonsense

The world is way too stable for a real crisis. The west is much more resilient than a lot of people think. Nothing will really change. Life will go on.

That depends on how wealthy you are.

For 5 bucks you can host your own gitea with most GitHub functionally. I moved my 500 repos to it. Actions are working perfectly fine. I make daily snapshots on hetzner. Trust them for that backup part.

Seriously think of moving to my own private gitea. I mean in less than an hour I have it setup. Make some daily backups to a cheap bucket somewhere is enough. In addition I get unlimited git action time. That's currently my biggest cost in my private workflow.

And not forget hardware. All they have is meaningless leaders with zero vision. My dumb AI claw tool has better view of the world than they do. They might as well be replaced by those AI agents. Probably better outcome that current

So cyberpunk is a real outlook after all hearing your situation.

Bold of you to assume we'll get biological immortality and cybernetics before an extinction event.
