I wish I had some way to experience this! I’ve long had a dream of hooking two drones together and flying them around as stereographic pair to compress huge geographic features like mountains but I don’t own a 3D headset

Every time I see something about trying to control an LLM by sending instructions to the LLM, I wonder: have we really learned nothing of the pitfalls of in-band signaling since the days of phreaking?

That's been largely my experience of RIIR over years of work in numerous contexts: attempting to encode invariants in the type system results in identifying semantic issues. over and over. edit to add: and I'm not talking about co

As soon as the roads are as smooth as they were in the 90s. I have a pet theory that wheels have gotten huge partly in response to deteriorating roads - larger diameter means less leverage against the suspension when hitting defects. It’s t
