So nobody should be an inventor unless they are employees of a corporation that can afford to commercialize everything they make? What does the patent even do- protect the rights of the most successful company? At what point does it get ta

I couldn't disagree with you more. Patents exist to reward research or invention that results in practicable ideas. Entrepreneurialism is not (and should not be) part of that.

Yeah, that's exactly it- but the point is I was using an unmodified key. I've tried this on higher-end tumblers and I could really feel that it wasn't going to work. It's just about the el-cheapo builder-grade locks (w

Pfft. I had a medium-grade bike lock in college, and I once accidentally stole a bike because somebody with the same color/model/lock parked in front of the same building as me. My key was a bit stiff and I kind of had to force

If they just gave Siri an off-the-shelf LLM with a few extra capabilities that plugged into their ecosystem, it would be amazing.

This is interesting! Although the way you have to have log2 fibers, and a different encoding in each junction, presents quite a manufacturing challenge. Oh well, it's not a problem at the research/POC phase!

Okay, thank you opposing council, ya got me. I should have said "make everything unambiguous, usually by using two or more syllables, and in a couple of instances where it was okay, one syllable."

Like the NATO Phonetic alphabet. Make everything two syllables, because it makes the correction of corrupted recordings less ambiguous.

The trick is knowing what you have to do, and focusing only on that. Backtracking is the enemy, and should be avoided aside from unlucky guesses as to how a map is laid out. If you're the wizard, the horn of plenty is almost a cheat c
