I loathe ROS as much as the next guy but is there any serious free alternative with much community?

Isn't Foxglove built for ROS?

I agree. The essay seems to assume there are clean lines separating the "good ones" from the "bad ones". It's very reductionist.

I liked PG's attempts to define the perjorative form of "wokeness". I was disappointed that the rest of the essay didn't serve the discourse much. What I was really hoping for was focused analysis on how to make social m

He's presenting his own musings as some kind of historical record. Utterly unburdened by the need for data to back up his narrative.

There is so very little citation or substantiation in the entire essay. Even the footnotes are largely just more speculation. He presents it as some kind of historical record but it's literally just his thoughts.

No. And man, I feel like the quality of PG's essays have declined. Even if I agreed with a few points, it was so rambling, and just made so many leaps. The sheer length of it is a pretty good signal he didn't really work that hard

Agents have a definition issue sure, but IMO we are prevented from even discovering a useful definition by the current limitations of LLMs

Intelligence agencies may use that data, but there are plenty of financial incentives to keep that data regardless. Mining user data is a big business.

Thank you for also having Airtable support, which I vastly prefer over Google Sheets for any kind of API work
672.
by causal 2y ago
+1 for Airtable API. Way ahead of Google Sheets IMO.

That's the point. It should still be considered open source.

Right, AWS rarely saves on hardware/hosting costs, it saves developer-hours. Especially if you're a fast-moving organization that rapidly changing hardware needs, something like AWS gives you agility. That said, most organizations

Most social media requires some identifying details to make it difficult to cyberbully someone without recourse. Sarahah did not. A lot of young people suffered because of Sarahah

I think that's part of what feels odd about this- in some ways it feels like the wrong type of test for an LLM, but in many ways it makes this achievement that much more remarkable

> “We worried we’ve hired 10,000 people and we’ve built a smart timer,” said a former senior employee. How the hell did Amazon hire that many people to develop such low-tech devices.

Particularly interesting that quality seems to be dropping in an age where reviews are easier to find than ever. But there has always been an inherent conflict of interest in the place selling the wares (e.g. Amazon) also being the place ho

What did you want, more trembling and hand wringing? This was a discussion of stealth capabilities, the problem of nukes is adjacent but not the focus. And I believe the article said the US has 167 subs, you made up "thousands" Ed

> some degree of fatherly aloofness towards infants is natural. That may have been your experience, but I would push back hard against generalizing that notion. For my first child, we bottle-fed formula, and I was very involved in her ro

This is not a counterpoint.

Yeah I feel pretty incredulous about this too. Surely you would want to see a few hundred generations reproducing with the change before you could begin to say with any confidence that it might not have an effect.
