No, but you could teach them rapid skill acquisition first, then the basics of woodworking, and they'd be off. They could then apply the same approach to machining. Instead, people absorb the meta-skill through osmosis. The first thing

Multihead for debugging full screen apps is/was pretty sweet. Now we just use ssh or a remote debugger. I haven't finished the video, fingers crossed that he hooked 4 joysticks for multiplayer pong. Didn't realize how wholeso

Create a benchmark for this problem that researchers can easily run and the problem will solve itself.

Reusable rockets were "invented" by Lars Blackmore when he was working at JPL (Jet Propulsion Lab). I say invented because like anything in the evolution of engineering, credit is messy. https://en.wikipedia.org/w

The kinds of people that become billionaires are not those who are happy, the hole in their sole is why they are billionaires in the first place. Yes there are exceptions, just like with everything. You should probably have a billion dollar

It changes what you can do and how you do it, but it still needs someone with skills to drive it. And it does hit a capability plateau, you cannot just say, "make me a compiler for xyz". Your prompt has to be at least 8 sentence

There is always someone better than you at almost everything you do, this is statistical reality. If all you care about is the artifact and not the path, there is no reason to do anything. Use the tool to better yourself, your understanding

You still can! It looks like it is an amazing mix of physics, math, engineering, acoustics, biology, basically everything.

It would be nice if we never talk about name collisions again. No one owns a common name, I'd actually consider it a form of stealing from the commons. Want fewer name collisions? Pick unique names! https://www.copyright.gov

Another technique to add to the mix if you can handle the additional complexity is to load or feature shed. If you can delay or just drop additional expensive application features during the exact time you need to scale or handle a burst, t

Paid 250M. Bezos net worth was 25-27B in 2013, now 224B-266B. As a mouthpiece of Jeff's interest in maintaining his wealth and power, the WaPo paid for itself the year he bought it. It is mind blowing that that the rich don't hire

Making up new words is how you get to take ownership of existing concepts. This gets you promoted.

Yeah, I linked to Burn since it was the parent framework, but yes CubeCL. Still blows my mind that they basically implemented a subset of Rust inside of a Rust macro so you can write your compute kernels in Rust. Nathaniel Simard: "Ru

The good names all get applied to the wrong things. It would be awesome if we could stop every couple years and define in-domain terms we can all agree on. Like how hallucination has won out over confabulation. The precise and accurate def

It is only interesting as an academic exercise in EDA design. Just like microGPT. For something with an n^2 complexity and advertising perf is clickbait.

This is the same way you get people to do bad stuff as well. Make the task small enough so that the moral curvature of the topology is flat and even though they know it is a not-good part of a larger bad part they just shrug. Look at all th
