Well if you insert metal rods through it you can help with the heat transfer, then you can lattice over the holes. If you pumpkin pie it, you might even be able to have it hold up under its own weight. Plus a bit of stiff whipped cream in t

Good article, as always hydrogen for transport is dead. Unfortunately, as they say, what is dead can never die. And there will always be companies trying to siphon off public funds to do “trial runs”. One thing that seems wrong is in the ef

AutoCAD is the easiest example to pick. Fire the draftsmen and hire for AutoCAD.

I don’t think so. It reads much more like “distillation is okay when you do it to your own models.”

Forget the type of electrolyzer, even if they were free hydrogen would still be expensive. The challenges with hydrogen getting cheaper are thermodynamic and can’t be innovated around. The amount of energy required to electrolyze water simp

Sergei and Brin were pretty vocal about the problems with ads and why they don't belong in search engines when they started. The only reason it's expected now is because of a slow boil.

Decompiling seems like the hard way to go here. Lots of clones pop up for popular games and apps all the time. I don't think you need to go down the decompile route to achieve that.

Nothing’s been “disrupted”. Evolution is occurring the same way it’s always done: through random mutations in response to the environment and sexual selection.

Full LLM, no. Not yet. But there’s new things like sweep [0] that you now can do locally. And 2-3 years ago capable open models weren’t even a thing. Now we’ve made progress on that front. And I believe they’ll keep improving (both on acces

They are not the same level, but that may be fine. As for productivity, I don't take that as a given. Maybe in a few years we'll be at the point where AI is better than AI + human, but we aren't there yet. The other models ma
