Normal stocks exist in a similar way for 99% of people. You don't own them directly you're the 'beneficial owner' and your ownership is just a database entry in your broker's database backed up contractually. It

Maybe, but I don't know how we get there from LLMs. How do you go from the token prediction models they represent to something that doesn't just use the language it was trained on?

A ten solar radii oberth maneuver too! Which is only slightly farther than the Parker Solar probe got (3.8 million miles vs ~4.3 million for that Lyra proposal)

Even with a NERVA engine it's a LOT of work to get to the 26 kmps of an object like ʻOumuamua so you're still at the mercy of planets being in roughly the right locations to provide some gravity assists. I think it would widen the

It's not so much a matter of being ready, it's a matter of what planets are where that we can get a boost out of to get those speeds. Even with a fleet of working starships and assembling something in orbit getting up the to speed

Yeah do the hand tools and if they get into it in a big way this is a neat improvement, looks super easy to cut out complex shapes very quickly compared to the Makedo version. I got some of their connectors in an Adabox I think a few years

I'll have to take a look and scrounge up a decent projector to try. The other Bret project I was actually even more interested in was the robotics lab project when I was on a big robotics kick in the 2010s.

On a similar vein there's Project Lyra which is a theoretical fly-by mission of ʻOumuamua or 2I/Borisov. The proposed trajectories to catch up are pretty crazy with my favorite being the 2030 launch for a 2052 fly-by that uses Jup

There are other tools you can safely use as a young kid and young kids can use knives etc they just need a lot of supervision and instruction. Hand saws are relatively safe compared to box cutters for example, they're unlikely to cut s

You can introduce this way before you can trust a kid with a knife sharp enough to cut cardboard and they can use it way more independently.

The difficulty with that is there's no code or instructions to build your own so despite being "more open than open source" you're stuck implementing it from scratch if you want to make your own. Even if you can make the

That's similar to the issue with the whole NFT craze where you'd "take items from one game to another", it requires everything to work with everything. For Dynamicland I get the issue though putting the whole thing throu

Dynamicland is bootstrapped in a sense, [0] the same way you write the first compiler/interpreter for your code in another language then later write it in it's own language. The code running the camera and projector systems is als

Projectors have been strong enough to be visible in decently lit rooms for ages. The reason you want the room extremely dark for most projector setups is for contrast, because the darkest thing you can make on a projected image is the ambie

It also looks narrow enough that even moderately sized cars would have trouble making that turn in both directions at the same time. Maybe it's an illusion due to the angles though.

Depends on how accurate you think the >$100 million estimated impact from the lower court is. When the FTC did the analysis they came up with a lower impact so they didn't have to do it. I'd be more willing to believe they got
