Very interesting. I work in Parkinson’s space so I am familiar with the problem! Does this also work for GRAS so things like supplements or other non-drug interventions can be tried in the new model?

Actually I think they do. Visualizations are a form of compression and focus. All of my ai-driven plans use a tool I built to rasterize all text based visualizations. And I make the model present the rendered version to a clean room agent f

Very cool! Working on a product for in-care use as well, complementary to this. Would love to talk shop!

It’s gotten so good that I now have infrastructure to render all mermaid/plantuml in my project to png and have AI’s always load both text and image versions. And they are instructed to review the rendering as part of the diagramming c

Here is the “internal” pattern language I started on “patterns for building software projects with AI”: https://github.com/apinstein/pattern-language-building-with-... It’s mostly AI-written patterns based on my person

> The shared language of a software project is not English or Python but it is the common understanding of what its concepts mean, where the boundaries are, which invariants matter, who owns what, and why the system has the shape it does

Furniture isn't part of the property by default; only if included in the sale. So pics with furniture aren't a problem, unless you say it's included and you don't get what's pictured.

I mean it’s already fraud to do so today… you cannot misrepresent the condition of a property. I think the harm so far has just been wasted time and thus no standing for lawsuits yet.

It’s pretty much always been against the rules of the mls to use altered photos. Pre ai, people would sometimes get busted for making grass where there was none, or making walls with cracks a solid color. It’s not allowed to alter condition

You mentioned it at the end of your article that you should definitely think more about horizontal transfer. It basically lets any individual in a population install a runtime genetic package that can be shared between individuals. It can w

I am playing around with building my own similar and am faced with the question you pose. How can you tell if your prompt process works? I feel like the outputs from SDLC process are so much more high level than could be done with evals, bu

While true, this either matters for you or it doesn’t. Classic Innovator’s Dilemma. My EV gets only 230mi range at max, and I only charge to 85% which is like 190mi. But I do it at home and never have any range anxiety. The trajectories for

It’s not a hand wave… The cost to serve a particular level of AI drops by like 10x a year. AI has gotten good enough that next year people can continue to use the current gen AI but at that point it will be profitable. Probably 70%+ gross m

Here's the play. It's very simple, and it's quite good. Stripe processes a LOT of money. The customers that get that money need to move it around. Often to banks. Stripe makes no money on that. Over the last few years, stable

hmm. I don't see why not optimize closing costs. I have done so on 4-5 mortgages myself. When sourcing your lending options, if you are a good borrower at least, you will have multiple options. I always asked for a full closing cost es

It’s fascinating how no one mentions that Trump didn’t pass comprehensive immigration legislation during his first term despite it being core to his platform. This issue is a mess and has been kicked down the road for literal decades at thi

I started and ran a real estate photography platform from 2004-2018. We started r&d on this in ~2016 when consumer VR first came out. At the time we used photogrammetry and it was “dreadful” to try to capture due to mirrors, glass, etc.

The only fair way to analyze this is by looking at opportunity cost, which isn’t what TFA does. Founders often have slightly higher market value (though not always) than first employees, so they are giving up more to go the startup route. S

This is really great. I imagined such a thing should be created, amazing to see it in reality. It would be great for those of us not limited to exclusively voice to be able to use commands as well, as I still think in some cases doing expli

IIRC the 8 on a bight is best for load parallel to the rope, and the butterfly best for load perpendicular to the rope. The butterfly is really fun to tie though :)
