   Thanks, all. This is delightful. I used to be a coin-collector as a kid. Kinda outgrew the hobby as I grew older. But I still love new/old/unusual coins (among other things). I think I might get my hands on some of these.

   <QUOTE> The bulk of investment has been funnelled to just 10 AI groups — Perplexity, Anysphere, Scale AI, Safe Superintelligence, Thinking Machines Lab, Figure AI, Databricks, as well as OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI. That has pushed up t

   That Steve Jobs coin really looks cool. It's the sculpture of him sitting cross-legged, surrounded by hills of Silicon Valley. I wonder if these coins are available for purchase by the general public? anybody know?

   The idea that emissions can be offset through projects that claim to avoid releases or to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is fatally flawed.

   This is one of those races... where EVERYONE wants to be above average -- like Wobegone, and speed thru airport security (theater) with TSA, Clear, what-have-you -- resulting in the only Nash equilibrium possible: even longer queues for bot

   Another Doug Hofstadter book! This is so cool. Ambigrams have been one of my fav "things" since I saw them in the GEB book ages ago. FWIW, "Angels and Demons" bestseller thriller (?) has a few ambigram puzzles that the p

   Oh man, this is sad to hear. Parker guitars is new to me. Saw some pics. They look absolutely gorgeous!! As a profession, luthiery is quite niche. I feel it’s one of those professions, like all craftsmanship, that is timeless. Looking at t

    Seen this post on HN so many times.. Would love to see / hear if there are any undergrad/grad-level courses that follow this book (or others) that cover computer vision - from basic-to-advanced. Thanks!

    "Soaring demand for electricity will drive a $350 billion nuclear spending boom in the US, boosting output from reactors by 63% by 2050, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. The key driver is power-hungry data centers running artificia

    Perhaps change the headline to say famed roboticist == Rodney Brooks... because that matters. A lot. And I do agree with him. Today's humanoid robots are poorer than any task compared to other, specific / single-purpose robots. A

    Not here to comment on the _content_ of the blog post... Just wanted to say the blog post design looks super nice. Beautifully laid out, very readable typography, clear graphics, approachable design with a welcoming UX, footnotes in the sid

    Thanks! This is useful. Is there a Podman version of this (versus the default Docker)? Would love to test it out with that... cheers

    This may or may not mean anything to some people, but Sanjeev Arora is one of the few people who scored rank #1 in India's IIT JEE (1986) (joint entrance exam for the prestigious IITs) [1] It's a little factoid stuck in my brain s

    The current SW toolchain / AI coding industry is seeing so much frothy behavior... Every toolmaker seemingly is raising $$$M at $$$Bn valuation. And they all seem to sell to largely the same pool of developers. Reeks of self-driving st

    Understood that this is from the NotebookLM team... Would love to hear what's the _there_ there? New use cases? new formats for consumption? new input sources?

    Judging by the comments, it looks like this is application / use-case is the To-Do app of this age: everybody has their own implementation. Not judging at all. In fact, the opposite. Thanks for sharing this, it's super valuable.

    Yeah - no doubt on the eventual productivity gains due to AI/ML (which are real, of course, just like the real gains due to telecom infra buildup), but must an economy go through a bubble first to realize these productivity gains?? It
