I really like using aider (https://aider.chat) and heavily leverage the /ask command to have a quick chat on intent and context before prompting it for the code I need.

My understanding (not an expert) is a lot of problem domains have very sparse / infrequent rewards - imagine if the only reward you gave a minecraft agent was when it mined a diamond, it would take a lot of gameplay for it to randomly do that and get a reward. So researchers spend time tuning the reward space (oh you mined some dirt, here's a tiny reward. Oh you mined rock, a greater reward, etc) but it's kind of akin to hand crafted feature detection from the pre-neural network days. The Q* mystery is did OpenAI 'solve' reward modelling the same way neural networks solved feature detection.

I believe it's "eXperimental Boom - 1" but I doubt they mind the coincidence.

Yeah this is a great idea for kids stuck inside! On a related note my friend made free coloring pages for two of her artworks: https://www.gopaintthewild.com/coloringpages

Probably worth considering the efficiency of converting that stored energy to useful work. Average ICE efficiency is ~20% yielding effective storage of ~2600 Wh/kg.

Roughly an "order of magnitude" more density.

EDIT: Hadn't refreshed the page since lunch. Many have made this point already. Apologies haha

Yupp relevant bit from there:

Internet traffic via a geostationary satellite has a minimum theoretical round-trip latency of at least 477 ms (between user and ground gateway), but in practice, current satellites have latencies of 600 ms or more. Starlink satellites would orbit at 1⁄30 to 1⁄105 of the height of geostationary orbits, and thus offer more practical Earth-to-sat latencies of around 25 to 35 ms, comparable to existing cable and fiber networks[51] (although transmitting a signal halfway around the globe takes at least 67 ms at the speed of light).

I think he means have a different thread for each case or a subset of cases instead of having any explicit switch statement.

This is essentially what Spire is doing. Their weather processing facility is here in Boulder.
