Claims approximately $30 vs previous $170 on a 200 mile trip. I have not checked the math. Is there a loss of payload capacity? That is the concern I have frequently heard.

Plenty of support for static linking, I am seeing. Would static linking conceivably make sandboxing, jailing, etc easier? Compared to all the effort which goes into dynamic linking, I suspect it would be better spent on sandboxing (both mec

Definitely. But of course a metal detector coil can also look at simple change of inductance, hence responding to conductivity even with magnetic mu = 0.

If you can negate a verb regarding action, what about a presumed statement of fact. Are there still equivalents of 'true' and 'false'?

For early microprocessors, the application manual would often devote 20 pages to selection and support of a crystal oscillator. For wide-temperature range use, as in industrial circuits, it could be a good rule-of-thumb to budget for a self

Not an artist, but (confirming against DeviantArt) with DALL-E etc it appears much lower cost to take bigger -- actually artistically more impressive -- risks. And dare I say more ego-less? One thing I have wondered: what will these generat

I am certain that you are thoughtful about the meta-ethics involved, thoughtful about your own unwillingness to go all-in with EA, and that this is an elegantly abbreviated report.

This is a very good article. I have only read about half of it so far. Plenty of good foundations regardless of whatever the current apparent state of EA might be.

Arthur Ashe the tennis player wrote about what an advantage it gave him closing his eyes for c.a. 30 seconds on each change of sides. Cumulatively: about 12 minutes extra rest after four close sets.

Speaking of which, can you take DALL-E output and feed it in and get 3D art? Or maybe someday prompt-to-3D direct, although the right kind of training data might not be there yet.
