I could stab five fish brains in the time it takes that machine to do one, and that's _after_ it's identified the fish
Come on, like having an ID & Stab queue is gonna speed that operation up
we have a winner for the most absurd AI startup ever
this Peter Thiel backed company uses AI robots to stab fish in the brain so they taste better and last up to 3x longer
it's called Shinkei and it modernizes a centuries-old Japanese technique
dozens of Michelin-star restaurants are already lining up to buy the fish
here's how it works:
> the problem is when a fish gets caught, it usually just suffocates on the boat
> that stress floods the meat with hormones and lactic acid, which hurts the flavor and texture
> the old Japanese fix for this was spiking the fish through the brain right after the catch, which stops all that
> but doing it by hand is impractical for most American fishing crews
> so Shinkei built a fridge-sized robot that sits right on the boat's deck
> the crew feeds in a fish and AI identifies the exact species, so it knows exactly where the brain and gills are
> the robot then drives the spike through the brain and cuts near the gills in about 7 seconds
> the fish goes into an ice slurry so the blood drains out
> so the fish doesn't sit there stressing out, and that tasty flavor and texture is preserved
example number 5,392,417 of how AI can be applied to literally anything
ALT A gloved fisherman on a boat feeds a live salmon head-first into the steel intake of a white Shinkei Systems robot, with the ocean behind.
this week has been rough for those building on MacOS using Github Actions, they have yet to fix the problem with macos-26 and now macos-15 (the workaround) is affected lol
Not something I remember but I'm sure my body does: eating and inhaling a bunch of my own poop during birth
Was in the natal ICU for two weeks recovering and almost died
this is begging to be the intro to a grindcore track, i can hear the drop at the end in my head and it doesn't exist
Tackle a GitHub issue in under two minutes with `ackn4th`: a CLI tool for building software with the help of multiple agents taking on different roles and working in serial or parallel. github.com/dethmasque/ackn4t…
`ackn4th` offers an alternative to cloud-based agent-to-agent automation through local cross-provider collaboration, with an approachable TUI dashboard that users new to the command line can appreciate. An optional voice mode allows for those hard-of-sight to navigate, interact, and absorb information (I would love feedback on this especially).
It is written in Go and currently supports half-a-dozen AI providers, with more on the way! Release artifacts are available for MacOS and Linux only at this time :)
MacOS and Linux are supported, Windows soon github.com/dethmasque/ackn4t…
i'm working on a CLI tool that i named and i cannot stop mispronouncing it in my head
it's supposed to sound like "back and forth" without the B but i keep referring to it as "ackenath" internally
interesting how a lot of my favorite bands start with M: Metallica, Mastodon, Mueens of the Mone Mage
Men are either completely emotionally available or routinely wondering whether or not they are a good person, there is no in-between
better not be using on brgle.com!!!
