I lived in DC for a couple of years and I felt exactly the same. I try and carry that same mentality to all museums now, paid or unpaid. No research, no expectations, wander around and let yourself be surprised, leave when you’re bored. It’

Are there platforms that make such training more streamlined? Say I have some definition of success for a given problem and it’s data how do I go about generating said RL model as fast and easily as possible?

This is a great idea. I have a question: Typically speaking an LLM is the code driving the control flow and the MCP servers are kind of dumb API endpoints (find_flights, search_hotels, etc) say for a travel MCP. With your product, how is t

You should go. I was all set to go to Caltech or the Ivies and turned them down for mostly, though not entirely, financial reasons and went to a state school instead. Worked out mostly fine but much harder to get foot in the door and the op

Awesome idea man. As an avid water sports guy and an avid shark phobia guy, could you use sonar to detect large moving objects at distance?

I'd buy one and turn it into an RV. That use case makes a ton of sense. Fully integrated solar to power your electrical appliances while stationary.

Just wait until all software becomes a streamed H.265 video stream. That's certainly the future once latency allows for it. No piracy, infinite subscriptions, total control. But if you don't like it, don't buy it. That's

Seems like Microsoft Power Automate (Flow) is your biggest competitor? It's free for all Office 365 users (most people).

Yeah I am as well, but we are all sick of paying rent and yet we do. It is what it is and there's no way around it.

I'm sure they will face the piper at some point, but you don't see people in Copenhagen living on the streets or in squalor. Probably because China makes all of their stuff and immigrants build all of their houses, but still.

Have you seen our housing stock, our housing supply, our infrastructure? There are plenty of jobs needing to be done. A virtually unlimited amount of progress is possible. The problem inherently lies with the assumption that the free market

I think this is true. As Internet speeds get faster we will simply stream all of our heavyweight apps and games in H.265. * No piracy. * Easier access. If you are a software company selling desktop software this should have you salivating.

It's unfortunate that it is so much cheaper to order something on another continent and fly it over. Is there really no way to source custom parts made in the USA without it costing an arm and a leg?

If all you are learning is how to build a React site you are going to have a bad time in a few years.

Is this a viable landing strategy in the long run? Both SN8 and SN9 landings have ended in total fatalities. What happens if the landing happens to occur during a 50 mph wind gust, etc. If this maneuver isn't designed to be 100% fault

If they do that it's instant bankruptcy for GameStop. Nobody will ever shop there again. Period. It's over.

interesting and compelling analysis. Their response was also swift. The complete isolation of Wuhan so early also makes me think they knew it was an accidental release. To me, the most likely explanation is that one or more researchers beca

I am trying to build something similar but I don't know how to get a non-functioning physical prototype built initially. What's the simplest way to get these type of aluminum cases, bands, etc?

Only 36V, each pack has a BMS. It's basically spot welded 96 wh packs @ 36V with individual BMS. Works OK I guess but lots of wasted space and weight.

YES! I have been toying around with this concept and there are no good solutions right now. There are few providers doing something similar (Vruzend off the top of my head), but they all have huge downsides. What I would love is: 1.) Integr

You seem very knowledgeable about engineering these types of solutions. What is your background? The reason I ask is because after seeing the OP video (which is remarkable) I am left thinking that in terms of getting a cheap MVP to the mark
