I recently read about Luminar ( https://www.luminartech.com/ ) and their focus on making affordable, accurate LIDAR tech. Wonder if there are other components like this that need to be optimized and combined to get to L4 and

Every community has a set of rules you need to abide by, it's really not that complicated.

You're probably right actually.

I heard from Alan that HARC is quite open and anybody can just drop by!

It's definitely an interesting thought. To some degree, it's maybe impossible to avoid the filtering down / reductionism of a big vision, even if you wait until things are polished. I think the hope with the Mother of All Dem

Yeah this is spot on. The point of this kind of research is to discover how to frame the problem (we don't really know what it is yet) and create new contexts for thinking about computing. Under the lens of the current open problems in

You're right and my comment made it seem like everyone has some grudge or something. I think in general the PARC community was weary that the takeaways would be centered around how computers, GUI, etc. were great ways of doing old thin

Bret's talks outline the general philosophy, motivation, and framework for the lab's work: - Seeing Spaces: https://vimeo.com/97903574 - Humane Representation of Thought: https://vimeo.com/11515428

They're rightfully waiting until they think things are ready to show. Danger of showing early is a recent memory in computing history (see Jobs / PARC visit)

I don't think he ever intended to stay at OpenAI long to be honest. He was a founding scientist of the nonprofit, so think he went there to do his time before he found an interesting opportunity (either in academia because he just fini

OpenAI is pretty independent and has grown quite considerably. Karpathy was a founding research scientist but it seems like the nonprofit will march on just fine

Some great initial ideas here, but the focus still seems to be on notation for pencil and paper. This is the medium of the past and it's worth thinking about how mathematical ideas should be represented in a computing medium. Some pote

I'd look at research efforts that have been focusing on revising the heart & original spirit of computing. YC's HARC especially - harc.ycr.org Bret's talk about their group's vision for computing - https:/&#x2F

I strongly recommend reading the following book - https://www.amazon.com/Good-They-Cant-Ignore-You/dp/14555091... It's a fantastic book by a now tenured CS professor that provides a good framework for how to

It's going to be entirely different I feel. Instead of manipulating graphics on a flat screen, focus will probably be on manipulating physical objects on a table / in a room. Watch his 2 talks that highlight the thinking and inspi

The way people have implemented visual programming has turned out to be a bit of an oxymoron. Visual and symbolic are entirely different channels of representation & understanding (for the most part). Representing a program using lines
