Tom is an amazing engineer. His journey in incrementally engineering a plane powered by compressed air has been awesome, both to see the iteration, but also to see his skills grow.

While this is cool, I’m really surprised that eyeglass or sunglasses manufacturers haven’t doubled down on simple HUDs. In swimming there are the FORM goggles [0], but everything in the sunglasses space is focused on voice and cameras (look

one of the very first programming projects I took on was to figure out how to scrobble the records that I was playing. It was my first exposure to so many things: Ruby, FFIs, audio processing, audio fingerprinting (I think I used echo nest

The biggest issue in the real estate world is dealing with local state, county, and municipality governments and each one's unique ordinances, etc. While I think LLMs will be great at pulling data from a variety of disparate sources (i

Matt Gallagher and CocoaWithLove are major highlights from the early days of my journey in learning iOS development. Awesome to see he is still publishing such high quality information!

So, he's non-technical. He hasn't written a line of code. I don't know the details of how he hosts or deploys the sites, but I'd likely guarantee that he asked whatever AI he uses and it just walked him through the proce

I know a twelve year old kid who is proactively using LLMs to build websites for lawn-mowing businesses, calling them up, asking them if they want it for $200, and closing deals in seconds. I know it sounds far-fetched, but he does all the

Music / mp3 blogs were one of the heights of the free and open internet. RSS, Hype Machine [0] (an aggregator), blog rolls, back links, etc, all allowed for both discovery and taste-making in an organic way that still let individuality

This is really cool! I really liked the architecture explanation. Once you get solid rankings for the different LLMs, I think a huge feature of a system like this would be to allow LLMs to pilot user decks to evaluate changes to the deck. I

For anyone wanting a quick breakdown of the current situation: the Sig Sauer P320 is a striker-fired handgun, which means the firing pin is spring loaded and retained by a sear. Other handguns are hammer-fired, where the trigger (or slide a

I understand your speculation on the amount of variance, but I haven't seen any data to support it. Sig's "recall" was a drop-safety issue, where in certain orientations the weight of the trigger could generate enough mo

I think one of the best demonstrations of this, with detail on the amount of travel required for most striker-fired handguns is this video [0]. Lots of detail and relatively methodical. [0] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

I would love some sunglasses for running that show some basic metrics (similar to my Apple Watch) for my workout, equivalent to the FORM Smart Swim 1 [0]. However, I would mostly prefer this to be a dumb screen, with all the smarts off load

but going back to processes that are essentially "artisan" at this point, instead of re-shoring efficient automated manufacturing is the problem. Doubling down on making high volume pencils in an inefficient way is a fools errand

Musgrave Pencil Co [0], in Shelbyville, TN is one of the only other ones in the country I'm aware of. The biggest challenge for a lot of these is that they essentially require full-time machinists to keep the old machinery running, as

yeah, there is a lot of control of printing artifacts that are required. Some of those do make it out, either through QC issues [0] or through WotC itself gifting test print cards and full sheets to employees or as prizes. However, the abil

Most of MtG’s secondary market value is protected by how difficult it is (or how costly it is) for cheap printers to match Cartamundi’s (and other global printers) offset printing processes. The number of counterfeit tests (green dot, black

I'm guessing there is a lot of negativity towards the Vision Pro here, lots of it deserved. However, the immersive video aspect is the one thing Vision Pro delivers that I think is truly unique and new. I'm not sure that is enough

I did not expect to see a Patriot reference online today, thank you for making my day. For others, Patriot is a dark comedy TV show available on Amazon. I highly recommend it.

EV Trucks are still a long way off. The simple fact is that the power to weight ratio of batteries simply does not scale for anything that needs to do towing [0]. Super Duty trucks are specifically designed for towing capability. Specifical

The Descent series was my gateway to the Internet, and really paralleled my coming of age. I played D1 dialing up my friends when I was 10, which was amazing. I swapped numbers with some folks on the local BBS and played 1-on-1 deathmatches

This is incredibly helpful and generous of you. This is completely not specific to tech, but I have a friend who emigrated from Congo very young. As a young adult, he committed a felony. He served his time and was released last year. ICE di

One thing that this article glosses over is that mortgage rates and the rate of home valuation increase have a loosely inverse relationship, as most people judge what they can afford based on their monthly payment. So, when borrowing is che

"Aldi" is actually split across two different companies that operate in different regions of the world: Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd. In the US, Aldi Süd operates the Aldi stores, whereas Aldi Nord owns Trader Joe's.

Palmer Luckey and Anduril have about a 6 year head start. I agree that superiority is one of the best deterrents.
