This collection is one of my favorite memories from undergrad. Every time I walked past I tried to think of a new way to use one of the mechanisms.
Slow game warns other slow game, hey you might get fast.
It's ~21% the cost of a home, it's actually the single most costly and labor intense category. That being said it does only take 14-21 days to frame a home.

I took a ride in May in Austin. It was my first time in an driverless car. I took a bunch of notes and emailed Kyle Vogt my thoughts. In the past he's been quite generous with his thoughts on our pitch deck. Anyways, one of the points in my email was that there were several points along the route that seemed to be choke points for cruise. We tried to do the most scientific ride three slightly inebriated people could do. We rode all the way across Cruise's range and tried to experience as many different areas as possible. Generally it was better than I expected, but I still wouldn't feel comfortable putting my kids in yet.

I would definitely be at danger of getting into the habit of just saying no if I was asked everytime it changed, especially early in the dev cycle. However, if it was just at pull request time, I probably wouldn't get frustrated with it.
This is awesome! A related problem that currently has no solution I know of is documentation rot. I would definitely pay for a LLM that compared docs and code and told me if they got too far apart.

I'm always amazed at the cool/useful new tools that I find out about when I talk to new people. It can be hardware or software. My current favorite, ferrule crimpers. Probably because I've been wiring a control cabinet.
Using Android, Veri doesn't support Android yet.
I was looking into this the other week, I couldn't find a CGM supplier in the US that would sell dtc. I don't need it for any medical reasons. Im just interested in the data. Anyone know of a supplier?
BotBuilt (W21) we build robots that build homes. Always looking for software and hardware types that want to take on the massive housing shortage!
Any idea why the eastern US is wait listed? I'd love to ditch spectrum and I work in construction so having mobile internet would be huge.
Here's a tech companies few I know of:

To your point about there being no innovation to be made. Better risk models would be a tech advantage that would allow one company to offer more accurate premiums.
I signed up once for Sunday delivery only. After 3 months I never received a single paper, then I called to cance. I had a much easier time over the phone, but they were surprised I hadn't received any of my papers even though I called/emailed on 3 occasions that I wasn't receiving my paper...
Sounds like you care quite a bit. Although perhaps here you're defining success as monetary as opposed to adding reliable knowledge.
In my opinion there's a wide open array of approaches from control that can help with this. Learning for Control is a new conference that looks at this very topic.
Technical point: Value functions that are a constant multiples of each other result in the same behavior.
I'm reminded of John Medina, neuroscientist, "what's obvious to you, is obvious to you."
I've been using spaced repetition via anki for about a year now. Two effects that I've run into:
1.) When there's a deadline looming i tend to drop doing it, and then after the deadline i have a bunch to catch up on.
2.) I find somewhat frequently that some of the things i learned that I thought would be good to know in the future, i no longer have a use for. It's easy enough to stop reviewing those bits, but I've wondered what kind of impact that has.
Very different focus in Modern Robotics. I've used Modern Robotics in the past to teach a course on robotics fundamentals. It's fundamental in that it covers problem definitions, and some basic solutions to those problems. It gets a little deeper than others in that it goes into an exponential representation for certain operations.
woah, you're totally right. My bad. I just remembered him talking about manipulation as under-actuated problem. thanks for the catch.
The associated lecture videos have been a great source of information for me. The associated class has assignments that include programming and dockers for using the Drake environment. Plus, Russ Tedrake is a smart guy who asks great questions and he's always been willing to answer my questions and emails.

I think this would be a great cross with AI-Dungeon 2. Just feed all the text from rick and morty if you can get it.
John Medina in Brain Rules for Baby[0] suggests I think, a practical framework for kids screen time that is informed by research. It boils down to minimize screen time where the screen is stepping in as the babysitter. Instead, try to make it co-viewing where you and your child watch together. Then you can reference it later or discuss any points they find confusing or scary. Avoid violent content, because the kids are sponge mirrors. They soak everything up and then act it out later. I've seen this play out with my kids, we watched avatar the last Airbender (the cartoon) and they were benders for weeks afterward. I also watched Elf recently and shortly after the scene where Buddy gets yelled at my toddler was repeating the same phrases at a younger sibling.
