don’t know if this qualifies as big in your book, but there are some well marketed advances here:

Scientific search engine/agent to surface papers with commercial potential (patent, moats, etc.) - eventually wanna expand to cover any search query. Imagine having someone reading 1000s of science papers on your behalf, with your goals in mind, and then telling which papers to pay attention to and why

Oh I'm trying to build something similar, let's chat! I've started with identifying potential project from ICLR2025, but it has an "entrepreneur" part in the response https://openreview-copilot.eamag.me/

How much time and $ would it cost to register your tokens as a security? Would it be possible without any financial history? I remember Lending Club was able to have them registered and offer securities with their peer to peer loans to unaccredited investors.

This sounds awesome. However I'm a bit saddened that there is no mention of CO2 or climate change in this discussion. What about building solar planes vs just faster planes will do even more harm to the environment if people start flying more because time is now shorter?

Just think how much C02 you'd produce if you took a ship across the ocean for days on end....

Like, a sailing ship?

congrats to Will, Robbie, Chris and the entire team. to the moon and more :)

May I suggest the following https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindfulness_(psychology)

Can you find a question (not an answer) that can help you look at things differently? Who is it who is jealous? How does it feel to be jealous? What's going on right now?

seems like their executing incredibly well and big congrats to the team. I do wonder a bit how defensible this model is - it seems to me that safeway already has most of the infrastructure available to do deliveries and then could significantly outperform instacart deliveries from safeway in terms of customer experience for example.

- they always know what's in stock in which facility when you order, no more replaced or missing items - they don't charge the high 20-30% markup that instacart charges to their customers

in terms of marketing, they could probably have lower cost of acquisition on scale as well. - they could market their app in-store very aggressively at every single checkout counter.

what Safeway is most obviously lacking is a frontend that's as good as instacarts, but now that instacart has shown how to build it, it should be easy for safeway to build this out.

maybe they don't have their distribution setup such that they could actually deliver within 1-2 hours? what else am I missing? how can this be a defensible business long term?

Na'ama and the idea are awesome. congrats on the raise and good luck!

snapclass - although this happened a lot in the past, we are now curating the platform much more and also our repayment rates are in the 85% area. If you diversify well and go for A/B rated borrowers you can definitely make very positive returns.

We are now doing around USD 1M per month, are growing the number of borrowers rapidly - which allows for more diversification and better returns (on average)

Hi flavio87 big fan of BTCJam here - have to agree, you guys are doing a much better job on filtering out people - the idea of having borrowers pose with their passport was great. 85% seems to fit my own observations so far, maybe close to 90% depending on your level of scrutiny. Keep up the great work!

this is really awesome. was always hoping caltrain would introduce that - never occured to me that you could hack the system like you guys are - very amazing and wish you best of luck!
