There needs to be a gradient or the wax won't move due to temperature. The motion is the change in state, as you say, but it won't change state if you don't heat or cool it. That's why it's a motor, like in dishwash

My understanding is that wax motors are based on actuation - they are intentionally and deliberately either heated to extend or cooled to retract, and if ambient temperature is used as one endpoint, the other will not be ambient (i.e. a hea

I don't know if that's necessarily true in practice the way it is in theory. If you knock down 95% of the issues they create over a certain period of time, in practice you'll have better code than a human would write, and it&

I think there's a pretty clear and wide gulf between "nobody could have seen that coming", or "I just wasn't on my A game", and frank negligence. I once worked at a very large company, and one of my coworkers w

You stop relying on the agents following instructions exactly. You need two pieces: a) prompts, that tell the agents what to do and how to do it (and ideally, the why, where, etc, the full picture) - that's the positive half, that dr

Typically, though, the diesel bug only happens in the interface between the water and the fuel itself, so if you have a proper filter and separator on the pumping system it won't be a factor. Gasoline, when it goes bad, goes bad from t

Trust me, given how many people just accumulate trash because it's expensive, that's an absolutely sane and excellent policy. As a society, we want people to use trash disposal, because the alternative is expensive, painful, and d

This is Jevon's paradox - as you make the supply better and more efficient to use, people will demand more of it.

This same concept is also true of McDonalds historically - they own the land, lease it to franchisees, and realize the appreciation themselves. McDonalds are fairly economically valuable, so the capital gains by the time they're cleare

My read, but the effective policies are infeasible, and the feasible policies are largely business as usual. Pretty much precisely as expected, honestly. I struggle to see how anything like this is going to be implemented without business a

Or encounter their CLI and it's lovecraftian combination of positional arguments, named arguments, piping, json documents, etc, distributed largely by random lot, as far as I can tell.

Yes, but it's exactly the kind of hybrid between a regular planner and something generative (writ broadly) that they were asking about. Practically speaking if you're hitting the GEQO you've already failed as a query writer u

I mean I would be limiting it to a very specific use case, and the flat fee would be "plus a percentage of the underlying", something like $50/mo + 20% of the AWS spend underlying. And for that, with a simplified use case, we

Well, one of the things I would be very, very focused on is LLM optimization, so that is something that could be mitigated, at least. Especially since I would be building with it, certainly, I would try to engineer it so that it was to Mr.

No, it's because gasoline is not a very thoroughly refined chemical, so it basically has a bunch of aromatic rings, benzene, and all sorts of monomers floating around, that rapidly (~year or two) turn into varnish and other polymerized

If they're region-locking data appropriately (i.e. for people to comply with domestic storage / gdpr-style requirements) they really can't. Bahrain is only about 300 square miles / 80k hectares. They could, of course, op

If I were a bit more bloody-minded I would launch a service for vibe-coded apps that, under the hood, did everything "the right way" and just charged a flat fee + percent on the underlying. I feel like if this was done correctly i

Where can I find an oven made with entirely US parts (or even ~85-90%+)? I'll tell you in advance that I haven't been able to locate one in a few years of looking. Most major appliances are, at best, 60-80% american with no accura

Makes a bunch of sense, appreciate all the detail! Similar for myself but entirely visual, so a fascinating amount of overlap.

I guess I'm wondering about the fidelity, but I'm not sure what exactly I meant. Copy-of-a-copy kind of effect, basically.

I spent an enormous percentage of my life very frustrated with other people because they couldn't just see the answer to things. For example, I can put an engine into a car, and still tell you where every part of that engine is located

Here's an easy test: If you imagine something, is it more or less vivid than your dreams? Either way, you've established a difference in subjective phenomenology and there are people on either side of that divide.

Can you draw them and then look at the drawing? I'm just wondering about the "bootstrap" ability, for lack of a better term.

Wife is the opposite - I still surprise her when I shave my beard without telling her. She doesn't seem to have any trouble visualizing though. For reference, she didn't know the twins from "Property Brothers" were twins
