You are Internet King for the day, this is amazing! Not sure if there is a gyro keeping the seat stable and upright, didn’t seem necessary until he ended up on his butt when going too fast hahhahaha Love this!

When CoPilot showed up in my Word, I was writing a pitch doc that asked me to also describe whether I was using GenAI for anything for this pitch. It made me realize I didn’t know whether this doc was getting auto-pushed to CoPilot and woul

I feel this as well, and increasingly as I get older. It drives me to simplify my office over and over, or at least add storage elements that can hide clutter. Our dystopian future visions for AR always include an extreme visual chaos of ad

Thanks for your comment back… I clicked on it for game market Steam as well, but I learned a few years ago that my great grandfather built some steam cars in Rochester around 1900, so I found this fascinating. Thanks!

How much less energy does a query against an 8B model take, vs a 70B model? Can we get more clever about using smaller, more specialized models?

NPR listener for 30 years and I'm having a similar reaction to many of you in this thread. For the first time, I'm finding myself turning off the radio once I'm awake. It seems like Berliner breaking the rules (or norms) and

Thanks for your great work on this! As with a number of other folks here, I too have been playing with using LLMs for language learning. Primarily I've been using the Voice Control for ChatGPT extension with custom GPTs, learning Japan

So happy to hear it. The closed-not-closed state of LCM was exasperating for several years and I know several groups of folks were trying to engage to bring it back to life. It was such a great site for informal learning and did a good job

I was working at Nintendo of America in the 90's and remember hearing that the Rare guys were working out of their barn. For years they had an email address for the chickens as a joke. Wonder if it still works :)

Insurance companies should get behind Right to Repair. We've so far waited three months and have an $11,0000 price tag to the insurance company on a minor collision that bent our car's front fascia and broke a sensor -- no frame o

Thanks for sharing that info on Neall... It had been a few years but he was great to work with on ps3 rollout and other tech fun back in the day. Sorry to hear it :(

Starbucks cups are lined with plastic on the inside too aren't they? Mmmm tasty microplastics.

Agreed! But it's always so much easier to ban and get credit for "protecting Americans" than do the work and build a solid base for the future. We should hold our politicians to a higher standard.

It was, admittedly, already pretty bad when the industry was mostly in the valley and peninsula. SF has been expensive for quite a long time.

Editor wars are right up there with tabs vs spaces, right? I too was an Emacs devotee once upon a time. On of the CS professors at our school in the late 90's was even more so, known for doing all his work from inside of Emacs. But the

CoPilot didn't "learn how to program", it is reproducing blocks of code from other projects, some of which explicitly state that using their code requires attribution or other forms of acknowledgement. It is facilitating infr

The one I think of immediately is CHANGE: A Homeless Survival Experience. Saw it in Games for Change Awards nominees and it has stuck with me to this day. 2D side scroller. Well worth your time. https://www.delveinteractive.com&#

I find myself wondering whether a useful testing step between mice and people might be the community of small dogs with IVDD. French bulldogs, dachshunds, and corgis seem particularly susceptible and many of them wind up with rear paralysis

This subthread highlights one of the things that seems true about RSI: what works for you may not work for me. I find that having longer key travel works better for me - typing on laptop boards or those shallow Mac keyboards tears up my fo

Great work! I'm a big fan of this idea, and as others have mentioned, it's a little reminiscent of the promise of VRML back in the day. Or even of PlayStation Home or Second Life, but more accessible, since it's right there i

CircuitPython (derived from MicroPython) is objectively pretty excellent, and running on an increasing number of platforms. It's been a really great platform for education.

I'd rather repair it myself, or be able to take it to someone local with particular expertise. What's important is that we have a choice!

Sorry to hear about your RSI troubles! The comments in this subthread sure highlight how many different experiences people have with RSI. I had a years-long bout with bilateral tenosynovitis 25 years ago and have had issues that I manage ev

Thanks for the link! It's a great discussion to have and should be a topic for all learning, not just CS Ed. If you look at the K-12 CS Ed standards defined at the state level, you'll find a generally coherent approach to staged l

That's exactly what hooked me - I worked in a VR research lab while an undergrad and then grad student, and Myst came out just as VR was fizzling out. It was the most immersive thing I'd ever experienced without a headset - I woul
