One argument may be that ownership is the last role for a human in a business. The firm exists to show ownership of an AI and provides a mechanism for managing its proceeds.

Musk miscalculated on 1) cost reduction in LIDAR

Given that Musk has a history of driving lower costs, it's unlikely he overestimated the long-term cost floor. He just thought we were close to self-driving in 2014.

Another factor is Andrej Karpathy, who was the primary architect for the vision-only approach. Musk wanted fewer parts, and Karpathy believed he could deliver that. Karpathy is still an advocate of vision-only.

Oxfmt got it, and then won.

This doesn't align with the data.

He's changed wild-type planarians to grow the heads of other species. It reverts after a few weeks, because the system has error-correcting mechanisms, but the DNA of these worms is unchanged.

He once compared tinkering with DNA as pulling out a soldering iron to fix a software bug.

In the case of morphology, DNA may not be the best level of abstraction. It's certainly possible, just as one can use chemistry for social problems, but for some problems, affecting cell-to-cell communication may be a more direct path.

I've had to switch from SSE to WebSockets to navigate a corporate network (the entire SSE would have to close before the user received any of the response).

Then we ran into a network where WebSockets were blocked, so we switched to streaming http.

No trouble with streaming http using a standard content-type yet.

Standard .env is unencrypted, while a dotenvx .env file has plaintext keys and encrypted values. Anyone with access to the repo would also need the DOTENVX_PRIVATE_KEY variable to decrypt the env file.

One key deployed to your hosts means adding new secrets doesn't take operations effort. Also, the process uses a public/private key pair, so adding a new variable doesn't expose existing variables.

Nano Banana Pro 8 months ago

I agree. From where I'm sitting, Seedream just bent the neck while Nano Banana Pro actually shortened the neck.

Your example template and the others here are almost jsx after it's compiled (handwritten below). This jsx discussion seems more about removing the compile step, which you can do with https://github.com/developit/htm

    import { createElement as m } from "your-jsx-compatible-library";
    
    var ListComponent = () => {
      let count = 0, selected = null;
      return {
        view: ({ attrs: { items }}) =>
          m("div", null,
            m("p", null, "Clicked: " + count + " times"),
            m("ul", null, items.map((item) =>
              m("li", {
                onclick: () => { count++; selected = item; },
                style: { cursor: "pointer", color: item === selected ? "blue" : "black" },
              }, item)
            )),
            selected && m("p", null, "Selected: " + selected)
          )
      };
    };
Learn to play Go 10 months ago

Ah, I see. Not rendering white makes these lessons impossible.

It's interesting that the shading for the white pieces is preserved. I wonder if a dark mode extension is affecting the colors.

Learn to play Go 10 months ago

The lessons are correct, but may be more obvious with better definitions.

"Alive" pieces remain permanent throughout the game. In both 2.16 examples, white can capture black by filling the gaps.

"Eyes" only have one space each and are fully surrounded by a single color. In both 2.16 examples. there are no eyes. Look at 2.17 with this new definition to see where the gaps are not yet eyes.

2.17 (3) is asking you to place a white piece within the black formation. This renders correctly for me in firefox.

Too much time spent inside may be a problem, but FSD turns car cabins into rooms. If we're inside already, a room with a destination is often better than a stationary one.

The category doesn't imply those cases are no-ops. It's used to highlight the sensitivity of our diagnostics.

On the podcast, Durkin frames improved detection as a positive, because it means people will get the care they need.
