Zuckerberg and co. always seem so basic. Settlers of Catan and Ticket To Ride? I can't imagine more flavorless, generic games. Wait, those are the games that I play... I remember listening to Zuckerberg speak at length about the variou

I think if you could directly tokenize 3D geometry and train an LLM on 3D models directly, you might get somewhere. In order to prompt it, you would need to feed it a 3D model(s), and prompts and it could give you back a different 3D model.

Same reason that Cortez burned his boats, once you start down a path you don't want people second guessing you.

Looks great. What do learners do using this OS (besides opening a web browser)? What other teaching resources do you use?

CBC has had a few articles related to art and artists recently, I noticed something about cross border tariffs affecting art shows and exhibits. But I don't understand how art and art galleries aren't just the perfect vehicle for

"To make Brain Flakes, you melt plastic and force it into shaped metal molds. Were we to import the machines and molds needed to do this, it would work for a little while, but as soon as one of those molds broke, we’d be in trouble, be

This article seems to be full of propaganda and downright lies. For instance, there are plenty of tool and die makers left in the USA, plenty of injection molding machines. I have personally seen them and met the tool and die makers as well

Content aside, does anyone else have poor scrolling performance on his blog? I saw similar issues on both mobile and desktop, what's with that?

We took our souls and carelessly poured them out into the machine, and later the robots came and sucked it all out, along with everything that made us special, unique, human. Was it worth it? Was it really free? Or would we have done it kno

The article says that 2015 Netflix and 2015 Spotify were better, my point is that 2025 Netflix and Spotify are better for the actual customers (the advertisers), but they are not transformatively better in the way that generative AI is.

That quote is pretty dumb, I see it quoted a lot. It's arrogant, assuming, demeaning, elitist. And I don't think it's true. Who would say "a faster horse"? It doesn't make any sense, because people know/kn

Interesting article. This is the key takeaway for me: "U.S. firms are at a further disadvantage in that their foreign competitors benefit from sustained government incentives to invest in advanced industrial equipment." True then,

Americans would want to have high value-added activities done in the USA, and low value-added activities done abroad. Tariffs are being marketed as trying to achieve that goal. The five strategic areas/sectors identified as a priority

Ok, but you don't need any of that if you're just running 1990s/2000s Windows educational software on an air gapped OS with no Internet access, which is what you would want for this application. Why would you want to mess aro

What are the benefits/drawbacks of using this vs. actually running Windows 95 or XP? I'm assuming the PC will be mostly used for "educational software" (games), which you would want to run on XP. What benefit is there to

Did the Incas not fish much? Seems like they would have done well with Retarius with net and spear. If you had 100000 people and had to defeat 100 well armed soldiers, what would you do? Well, wait for them to get tired, ideally. Try to res

I saw the Domu Technology posting the other day and I was thinking, is this a joke? And then I saw that Michael was leaving, and I realized it's not a joke, it definitely checks out.

Very impressive, that machine is a nice example of web handling equipment. A fascinating discussion of web handling is found in Exact Constraint: Machine Design Using Kinematic Principles by Douglas Blanding. These tapes seem relatively sti

If you carry enough inventory to stock out every 6-12 months, this might a good system. If you stock out every week it might become a pain, both for notification and for reordering. If it were me, I would have a service handle this, they br

One of my previous coworkers put it best: the cool looking proof of concept or prototype is 10% of the effort, and getting something that works in the real world and that people actually want is the other 100%. If we see a real world applic

Is this still true though? My gut feeling is that most Instagram users are now passive, meaning they doomscroll and never post while lying in bed in their parents basement while their 20s sail by. Not so much a stereotype as a reflection of

Hopefully it hits the ocean and not a direct hit on a major city. We should compute that probability. Wonder how big the tsunami would be?

The more you look into it, the more you realize we are already doing this, kind of. Then you realize that the real low hanging fruit is sort of in other areas, sulfur dioxide, methane capture, particulate, and especially home heating. Europ
