but google is stock in the academic bias of Stanford and MIT and can't think outside the box

Can you clarify what you mean? I am not sure I follow.

Highly recommend using agent based hooks for things like `[review & test]`.

At a basic level, they work akin to git-hooks, but they fire up a whole new context whenever certain events trigger (E.g. another agent finishes implementing changes) - and that hook instance is independent of the implementation context (which is great, as for the review case it is a semi-independent reviewer).

Very similar usage duration / window for me (US Pacific) - no availability issues.

To put some numbers to trying to develop a single therapy (where candidates etc. will fail as you try them)

- Plan to sink $180-500M+ just in R&D

- Factor in failures, regulatory, clinical, recruitment, phase 1/2 trials and you arrive very quickly around $1.3-2.1 BILLION USD per therapy approved.

...there is a 90% chance that you will spend that $1B+ - and it will fail completely.

KingJamesProgramming [1] - a mashup of Knuth books [2] and the King James Bible with a Markov chain, is still one of my favorite reads for a laugh.

It was also the first place I was really exposed to probabilistic-based methods for generation of novel content.

You get gems like:

"they smote the city with the edge of the sword. 22:20 And one of his main motivations was the high cost of proprietary software houses."

and

I'm typically pretty critical of PM oriented pieces, but I found this to be a decent overview of how to reason about building these systems from first principles + some of the non-tech pain points + how to address them.

Very good catch. For all my interest this space, it's embarrassing that I did not remotely see this coming...

I think I am just slow today - but could you please elaborate?

Colorado Water access law is truly crazy and arcane in some cases (such as this, it would seem).

Source: Had a friend in college that interned for a group of attorneys in Western, CO whose entire practice was around water access rights.

She explained to me some of the ridiculous things that neighbors requiring common water access could do to each other - based purely on who was using the water first.

It's a tough question and I do things the same way.

I feel like we are in awkward phase of: "We know this has severe environmental impact - but we need to know if these tools are actually going to be useful and worth adopting..." - so it seems like just keeping the environmental question at the forefront will be important as things progress.

I also relate - but have not received a formal diagnosis other than ADD.

- I remember feeling sorry for cars in a car dealership on a hot summer day as a child: "they must be miserable in this heat!"

- I frequently to this day personify my childrens stuffed animals & dolls & action figures: "They must feel so lonely not being played with anymore!"

- I was inordinately attached to my own stuffed animals / toys as a kid. I remember when one got taken away during a schoolday, that I felt like someone had kidnapped a family member - and I was inconsolable.

It's fantastic to see that this is now being investigated in the literature.

I feel this. Recently implemented a very trivial “otp to sign an electronic document” function in our app.

Security heard “otp” and forced us through a 2 month security/architecture review process for this sign-off feature that we built with COTs libraries in a single sprint.
