Most of the advancements in technology ultimately trace back to materials engineering breakthrough. Even just 2x or 4x higher energy density batteries would have a tremendous impact on electric aviation and drones, phones, and so many more

How does this avoid name collisions with the built-in standard library module "struct"? Don't you think that's a pretty important consideration?

To say there is a moat or there is no moat is a bit silly because it's not a binary thing "moat or no moat". It's an oversimplification to a point where it obscures what is really happening, which is that some moats are

Expert systems are not the same thing as today's AI is. Expert systems are characterized by sequences of pre coded if then rules. Today's AI is very different, largely based on consuming vast amounts or data. I'm not sure if

personally I didn't find the motivation to be very convincing. The workarounds used today to make modules callable don't seem very difficult or problematic, and the use case is very narrow

Noticed a couple of strange annotations right on the front page. First one was "pony cartoon" which I guess is a pony car in a cartoon style, but it is such a strange label. The other weird one was "airpods max" but the

Are you implying that any company using AI for the purpose of increasing the profitability of the company is "abusing" AI? Or are you talking about something else? It kind of across to me like you thought the use of AI with profit

This model is for non commercial use only so it's unclear to me how it could compete commercially with OpenAI. Sure, you could decide to interpret "compete" in a way that makes it seem like this violates TOS, but the mom comm
