Smart move by AMD. Chatjimmy is very fast and not very good, but I think it might become very fast AND very good.

After my AllClad pans have started to get the sharp edges from dishwasher corrosion of the aluminum layer, I've been switching to Hestan Nanobond. It's not exactly nonstick, but the surface is so hard and polished that things don

I like your project. I'm a SWE working on something completely different by day but tinkering with several other side projects, including this, https://github.com/ratsbane/panda-mcp/ (which is accelerating m

This really made me think - and not just because I went to Artsy Rugs last week and talked with the someone there about a rug that I bought at an estate sale and which I would like more information about ( http://provenancevault.

Probably not much. Also the LeRobot reference arm (SO-ARM100) is 6DoF, but it's very hackable and there are already project with different grippers, etc.

HuggingFace LeRobot. You can build the reference arm easily and cheaply and the software is designed to train AI. There's a lot to explore and extend there and the community is growing rapidly. It's based on the Stanford Aloha

Your question contains a clue to the answer: "Why doesn't anyone do anything". Specifically, what? I've been asking myself this since at least 2016 and I'm sure many other people have too. I've made phone cal

I spend about $20/month to charge mine at home and drive about 700 miles/month, unless I go out of town.

The independent plumber I use when something goes wrong with the pipes drives a GMC Savana van. He's really good; close to retirement age and very methodical and thorough and his prices are reasonable. The electrician I use also driv

Thanks - good answer. At the very least it seems like something to keep lawyers busy for a long time, unless everyone can ctrl-z back to Thursday. I am thinking though that this is a risk of IP-sharing arrangements - if you can't sto

Question for California IP/employment law experts - 1) would you have expected the IP-sharing agreement between MS and OpenAI to contain some provisions for employee poaching, within the constraints allowed by California (?) law? 2) C

Changes in technology do shift the market baskets that we buy. I now pay $7 to do the equivalent of "filling my tank" when I charge at home.

Fascinating. It's even possible to pinpoint missile installation locations in the past because this uses existing satellite imagery.

We had 38,680 motor vehicle deaths in 2020. We haven't had 45,000 since 1989; 54,000 in 1972. The rate has been steadily decreasing (with a few ups and downs along the way) for about the last 50 years(1), even though miles driven has

The queue proposal sounds like a Monty Python skit. If we adopt the rule that the next person to be served is the most recent person to join line, it's inevitable that a second line will form with people waiting to go to the first line

I was in Havana in January, 2017, around the time that this was happening. I walked around the US embassy one day. The weather was sunny but cold and windy; the embassy is on the Malecón, the seafront that stretches around Havana, and wav

You don't have to put it into a savings account. I do the same thing but into a stock fund.

I think that DNA methylation is a big factor in hair loss as well as hair color changes. There are other disease processes which are also driven by DNA/RNA methylation, so a treatment for any of these might also lead to treatments for

It also can solve the problem of helping team members know what each other are doing. If standup were only what this essay describes, it would be a waste of time, but it's a lot more than that. It's also a chance for team members

Watching the bot traffic is an interesting exercise in itself. The trick is not to filter it out; it's to identify it (to the greatest degree possible.)

Nothing in this article explained how this advertising could actually be dangerous. It "collects the IP address and user agent string." Is there something serious or not?
