I noticed yesterday that they've managed to make editing the text field on their search page lag and flip/reorder characters entered during the edit: editing “foot pedal” into “foot pedal keyboard” became “foot pedal oardkeyb”

This is the problem with using vector search for everything: there is no “verbatim” when the corpus and the search are both converted to a vector, and not necessarily using exactly the same transform.

Not to mention the occasional drift between what's on paper and what's actually been built.

Wouldn't the correct comparison would be filled positions tenure and tenure-track positions?

I know that's the common story, but I have never seen any actual court cases confirming that theory; certainly the recoverable damages from such copying such an error would be minuscule.

Sudoku is really not a “really hard puzzle” unless you're you generalize it to larger puzzles—the 9x9 form (used in the paper) is trivially solvable with even an old 6502 processor. I'd argue that the statement from the conclusion

It sounds like OpenPrinter will be using existing ink cartridges with the print heads built-in; I presume they will therefore have the same reliability.

It may be using a CC license, but nothing that's marked NC is meaningfully part of the commons. Yes, some guy can make a part to fix his printer, but that guy can't sell those parts to other people. The existence of a service man
