    Really neat idea, I think it is one of the best ways to exploit the combined building and explaining capabilities of LLMs. I am currently building an app/game to explain friends an…

    I’ll add that you still need the will and the care to drive it towards an useful product. AI still not magically generate useful products if you don’t ask it to do it and prune the…

    Nice article, interesting to keep an open mind. On "No. 0002. Preserving problems", it can happen to people too, no need for a complex system at the size of a company. I have often…

    I have an industrial engineer education. My master’s degree was specifically a collection of small projects to demystify (and have the keys understand deeply) all kind of manufactu…

    Plus, back of the napkin cost shows it is not that expensive. 30$ (or 20€) times 52 weeks : 1560$ (1040€) Not cheap but less than 5% of a minimum yearly salary of 32k$. [1] Same in…

    Related indirectly : Turkish airlines hub (Istanbul airport) is a scam. Everything there costs at least twice the price it should. Especially food which is basically what everyone …

    Setting for command is different from actual temp. Plus, humidity is rarely accounted for. A good AC that lowers humidity from 90%+ to 30% and this 30°C home becomes quite comforta…

    What about a continuous scale ? Choosing a base 60/24 for counting time is cultural and even if it is now the world’s norm, I would argue that an alien would not get this choice

    Esthetism also counts, a high frequency means a smoother second hand movement. It is one metric watchmakers are fighting on. I found this article that sum it up quite well : https:…

    For exactly the same reason : space is scarce but power even more. Power can also become unavailable in a degraded situation much often than on land. Therefore, it is a better desi…

    EU rollback on reducing gas liability, especially the widely debated rule on « no gas car after 2030 », feels now laughable. Maybe the reason why « technocrats » are good rulers is…

    If only the German infrastructure hadn’t been built for Nordstream… In France, with Nuclear power and renewable it’s 20% lower. Prices also depends on who you want to give power.

    Not sure humanity learned nothing before the last 8000 years. It was just very slow. Maybe we will need new ways to learn

    Seems fun but unusable on mobile. Windows are not responsive enough. General design seems fun though

    Great project and build. I wonder if using a small fan would not help energy transmission, which is eventually the goal of cooking. It may also make the oven work like it’s at high…

    It seems that any problem solving starts by defining the data. « Always define your variables » is the first thing I learned during my engineering studies, in both math and physics…

    Seems quite true even in a non-software large company. The work about work is often more important, and certainly is for promotion related progress.

    That’s powerful. Most of the differences I can see between AI generated output and human output comes from the « broad but specific » context of the task. I mean company culture, o…

    Interesting site ! There is something playful in the idea of ambigrams that I can’t explain. Maybe something like a puzzle ? A nice project could be to automate a generator. It mus…

    Currently improving my foundation in data preparation for ML, this short and right article is a gem.

    It is exactly what makes the difference between good and bad experience, both for users and engineers. A well designed system is both easy to use and to maintain or improve. It loo…

    Not that sure. I know Bosch, Liebherr and Samsung fridges bought in the 2000’s that lasted 10+ years, some of them that keeps running even after being used heavily (being moved, us…

    Yeah, short term. Because power users that are used to switch between languages using internet slang do not like half baked polished translation in their IP-location language. So t…
