This looks incredibly good. How's the typing latency & bash completion? Thanks for sharing a photo - gives much richer perspective.

FWIW, you can pair a regular Magic keyboard & Bluetooth mouse to most iPads. The folio keyboard didn't have ESC (never owned that, can't comment), but it didn't mean it wasn't physically doable

Very interesting! Can you please share your preferred apps for ssh/remote access to your home server or Mac? I think I could use that recommendation.

I use the LiDAR of the iPad Pro to capture full schematic of room in 3D to prepare spatial datasets. It isn't perfect. The sampling rate of iPad Pro is still lower than professional 3D cameras, but I can't complain when they cost

The politics of diplomacy is never all black or white. India buys oil from Russia because of discount rate, but has also pivoted away from using hi-tech Russian weaponry in favor of US & Israeli arms. Until 2 decades ago, India's d

If everybody follows this recipe, then it will fail at the author's currently desired idea of acceptable performance. Goodhart's law states the target shouldn't be a metric ideally but this is sort of a meta-metric to succeed

I read this in its entirety last year and sat quietly for a long time knowing many of these observations will one day be true for me too. Its sad, depressing and really harsh truth.

If it is just whataboutism, then why bother. India is a major US military equipment importer today by slowly pivoting from USSR tech & also a significant business partner to the US. Many multiples higher than its trade with Russia. That

Agree. I feel awful that Deepmind honchos take a round table meeting once in a while, where they pick up a board or online game and totally demolish the top player just to prove how good ML algorithms are.
