How does this compete to something like Org-mode?

This is a talk that was given Pr. Giulio Biroli in the Physics Department of a French University ("École d'Ingénieurs" technically) that talks about the use of generative AI in theoretical physics.
Thabks for the link ! Got the code accessible for this kiosk picture frame by any chance ?
The love-hate relationship with LabVIEW is something I can not get closure about : great tool, abysmal ergonmics, revolutionnary piece of software, ubiquitous in some fields and still some LabVIEW ergonomics is just SO...bad : want to zoom on your diagram ? Out of luck !
Heard of death by a thousand cuts ? LabVIEW comes to mind.
One could argue that libraries like BLAS/LAPACK are those collections...

The technology seems to target specific applications because it does not have the same throughput/advantages than lithography.
There's a great video deep-dive about the technology on the Asianometry YouTube channel for those interested : https://youtu.be/8UdNB3ZY4Ks
I was hoping to intercept and reverse-engineer the protocol of the Oura rings.
For some reason, I thought this kind of device would attract a lot of hackers given the platform capabilities but I could not f8nd any other documented attempt except the really thorough iFixit (destructive) teardown : https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Oura+Ring+2+Teardown/135207
For anyone interested, the main author (if I understood properly) did a presentation at RustNL on the UI aspect that was quite impressive performance wise :

I feel that one day I should write about this curse that NixOS brings into your life when you start enjoying it : you cannot go back to different systems but at the same time you (at least I) cannot vouch and recommend it to others as the languages and constructs (Flakes with a space or an utf-8 character in the path ? Here is a rabbit hole you can go down with) are just so byzantine and painful to work with but oh boy do they work... A crystal prison, nice but with sharp corners everywhere...
NixOS feels the same but somehow... I still end up in those Linux evenings but for different reasons...
Please excuse me for misrepresenting your work then Steve!
I take this opportunity to thank you for your involvement in the Rust project!
From what I understand of their product, Oxide computers (
https://oxide.computer) is exactly doing this : building a server from the bottom up (OS, drivers and everything on top) in Rust. Anyone with more information can correct if I am wrong about their tech stack.
Someone has seen a basilisk...
I am genuinely interested in your position : what are your concerns with nuclear energy?
So as far as I understand the protocol this is the principle behind Zeronet (
https://zeronet.io/)
I think that you will greatly appreciate the desktop distribution helloSystem :
https://hellosystem.github.io/docs/index.html. From their own documentation : "[.…] desktop system for creators with a focus on simplicity, elegance, and usability. Its design follows the “Less, but better” philosophy. It is intended as a system for “mere mortals”, welcoming to switchers from the Mac. FreeBSD is used as the core operating system."

Apart from the very detailed rust content, your RSS feed is broken : I wanted to subscribe but I couldn't; a shame.
For anyone who has wondered what would Factorio would look like in 3D, the game Satisfactory from Coffee Stains Studio would be a good idea.
