Are you planning to add AI and monetize this?


Absolutely! Realtime data will require a subscription, which will also include an LLM analysis of the past week's data. I think one of the VCs funding my upcoming disruptive space station piss tank telemetry platform requested that.

I'm pretty sure I can also shove a blockchain in there somewhere too even though they're a bit passé.


Will you release the piss dataset for commercial use?

or will you consider a piss left license?


Can you elaborate on where quantum computing can fit in? We want this thing future-proofed.


pISSStream is already a quantum application as I wrote it while in a box with a poison gas system that can be triggered by the decay of a radionuclide, allowing me to be in a superposition of being alive and dead – technically the app both exists and doesn't exist.

I'm 100% certain this is how quantum computation works and am available for department chair positions and speaking engagements for conferences.


That makes sense, but what if your service goes down and we can't get a hold of all the valid data? Before I invest in the $0/year fee, I'd like you to confirm that you're using the Blockchain somehow?


Sentient cat programmer: Confirmed.


Will it be called the piss+ or the piss-pro?


Piss+ ofcourse. It sets up the zero-G defecation market for the much more profitable piss+poop product.

But the real money is in piss+poop enterprise which comes with SSO (single shit to orbit).


Thank you for this holiday gift of laughter <3


More agile


You don't really want an agile toilet interface. This is more a waterfall project.


I regret to inform you that waterfall planning is often considered a fail state in the toilet development world (and a messy one to clean up).

I can however recommend the Spiral Model [1] as a lesser known Waterfall variation, which carries a heavier focus on risk management. It resembles a conch shell, and may require up to three attempts [2] to get your toilet development process correct.

Make sure there's plenty of space to output those logs.


Waterfall in a zero-g environment? I don't think so sir, Agile all the way.


Why not kanban? Stuff floats in the air on its own anyway.


Finally a real 3D kanban.


Boooo :)


Thank you, this response made my day:)
