computers take over a lot of the trivial thinking we do, freeing us to be creative

What is concerning is that vehicles appear to broadcast a MAC address.

What is coming into view from the top center at 08:26:25 [0], right after the commentator says, "the weather conditions remain go"? It stays visible for more than seven minutes before disappearing behind the horizon.

Nice work! One minor point for me: it wasn’t immediately clear that you need to press Compile before Play gets enabled (e.g. Arduino IDE let's you upload right away and compiles if needed)

Germany (~5% of SMEs underfunded [0]) isn’t underbanked; it’s just bureaucratically annoying; so more of an UX problem (which Kita helps address) with a somewhat similar outcome.

The US ("63M underbanked businesses") are already targeted: "Automate document review for business loan applications so you can fund more enterprises without scaling your back office." https://www.usekita.com/united-states

Sidenote: unlike in Tagalog, Kita means “day-care facility for children” in German, so names like Kita Capture and Kita Credit Agent could carry unintended connotations.

Street View cars added Velodyne LiDAR around 2017 [0][1], but it's optional. I found no data on 'LiDAR vs image only'-percentage.

Writing system [0]: "In a talk at the Oxford University Society of Bibliophiles on 11 May 2009 [1], Serafini stated that there is no meaning behind the Codex's script, which is asemic; that his experience in writing it was similar to automatic writing [2]; and that what he wanted his alphabet to convey was the sensation children feel with books they cannot yet understand, although they see that the writing makes sense for adults. However, the book's page-numbering system was decoded by Allan C. Wechsler and Bulgarian linguist Ivan Derzhanski, as being a variation of base 21."

[2] Automatic writing, also called psychography, is a claimed psychic ability allowing a person to produce written words without consciously writing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_writing

His primary school principal described him as ‘a happy little fellow who has a clear understanding of the fact that he is different’.

Also, files that are added to .gitignore after they’ve already been committed will still appear as modified. To stop tracking them, you need to remove them from the index (staging area):

    git rm --cached <file>

If they get the read speed up to a couple of GBit/s (~100x current max write speed), 4.8TB might be a good fit for 32k movies.

They mention it in the article:

Microsoft began to build on their work in 2017. Although Kazansky’s approach maximizes durability and the density of data, in the latest work, Microsoft has gone for practicality. They explore a method that enables data to be written faster and decoded more reliably than did Project Silica’s previous iterations, says Black, and it uses cheaper borosilicate glass, rather than harder-to-make fused silica.

Current write speed (No read speed given):

    MS-Glass (single beam)  ~25.6 Mbit/s

Today we're launching Twin publicly, after a 1-month beta where users deployed more than 100,000 fully autonomous agents. We're also announcing a $10M seed round led by LocalGlobe.

So... 20%?

Whoops! Mistook the "You're about to speak with an AI."-progress bar for processing delay.

You could add a Max Headroom to the hn link. You might reach real time by interspersing freeze frames, duplicates, or static.

Combining Pareto and Murphy might result in 4 hours head start for the thief though.

Would have looked further, but scroll wheel finger cramped. Keyboard nav would be great.

Guess absolute exploration hits the heat-death limit. You are hinting at a Drake-equation for bounded idea-space to guide AI: anchors x pressures x connectors x depth. Shift the boundaries for novelty.

You’ve set up artificial selection in idea-space with yourself as the designer. What if AI could learn the rules of coherence from examples instead?

This describes lunar day on the far side of the moon, right? Excuse my ambiguity; I was comparing lunar nights only (inspired by the Jules Verne quote):

The far side is darker during lunar night (lit by starshine only; Full Moon on Earth) than the near side during lunar night (New Moon on Earth), because it receives both star- and max. Earthshine.

I'm not sure about Crescent Moon though: that only narrows the brightness gap slightly, right? Or I’ll have to ask if there’s an astronomer on board our flight.

Agreed.

The far side is the darker side, though, at lunar night. Poetic proof: "The Earth shine might illuminate the light side of the Moon a little during the long night" (from Jules Verne, All Around the Moon https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/16457/pg16457-images.ht...)

NASA uses "dark side" (meaning far side, not night side) when facing the public [0]:

A series of test images shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the Moon that is not visible from Earth.

The far side of the Moon was first observed in 1959
