I don’t have enough tokens for that so I have to do it for myself.

Slight aside, he also has driven capability that was challenging to justify existence for, and was later removed re: Dragon 2 propulsive landing via SuperDracos, landing legs, and the ballast sled. I'm sure the Dragonfly programs matured their abort programs, but surely, that was a ton of time and effort wasted.

Border Patrol’s IT department more forward looking than the rest of the government..? sign me up! I’ve been using the same laptop for nearly 5 years now. It’s painfully slow and does not meet the needs of the latest Teams updates.

6 months behind is probably a bit rich, I find the frontier models more capable in sustained agent and compiler tasks. Simple tool-chains and basic reasoning seems more or less on par across the board, at least for my use cases.

Yes! A method to easily understand completion status without having to open a book to verify progress.

I jumped into a NY Times games sub for a year; couldn’t find the cancel button after a couple minutes of fiddling and ended up doing a CC chargeback in 60 seconds.

Carmak made extensive use of AI during Doom development: Approximate Interpolation.

Surely archived footage would be ripe for automated analysis once the tools are commercialized.

It’s always the same playbook with these rewards programs. Marketing invents a gimmick, the internet stress-tests it, finance freaks out, and the company quietly rewrites the TOS.

You might be right. The paper mentioned the rats preferred hunting near the light barrier but also mentioned they probably climbed the fabric for an aerial advantage (they didn’t seem to prefer hunting near the light barrier once the fabric was removed).

Two thoughts come to mind:

- the rats are effectively as blind as the bat in the dark, are they relying purely on sound and air currents to gauge their attack?

- and what a fantastic new path for pathogen transmission.

Putting 6G base stations in orbit is cool, I see that the next level begins when satellites, like Starlink, stop acting like relays and mesh networks relaying bits (Layer 2/3) and instead start computing bits in space to reduce latency, overhead, and turn orbital hardware into legit network infrastructure (Layer 4-7).

How does Claude deciding to end the conversation even matter if you can back up a message or 2 and try again on a new branch?

My take away is that the overall labor per customer decreases because workers are spending less time on non-cooking/serving tasks. The paper implies the efficiency gain is in how labor is used rather than production or serving efficiency. This seems like an anticlimactic conclusion.

I imagine future engineers as archaeologists of software development, in a way, digging through ghost comments like fossils in the code.

In addition to vacuum exposure to address outgassing, they'd probably hit wood with some sterilization process (gamma radiation as one example) to ensure any microbes in the wood are dead before landing on another planet.

For sure, that’s another way to decompose “bigger rotors”. It would probably be appropriate to dive into a conversation about Ingenuity’s design goals, requirements, and the trades performed to end up with what they got.

In a thin atmosphere, lifting a heavier payload needs bigger rotors or increased RPM, which increases power demands and structural stress. The challenge is to keep the vehicle light enough to fly while also making it sturdy enough to carry the payload and survive environments.

Some models (RWD?) are equipped with LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries. Tesla recommends setting a charge limit of 100% and, as you mentioned, charging up to 100% at least once per week.

Thanks. One of my Pi-hole filters is blocking this page.

If transmissions truly are a problem, I would hope they’d protect passengers and vehicles (e.g. faraday cage luggage compartments) rather than hoping customers do not leave dangerous devices such as AirTags in their luggage.
