    Perfectly for me I guess I should have said. Nonetheless, this md file packaging mistake suggests that at least once they’ve fallen into not reviewing changes properly, and I wonde…

    It worked perfectly for a long before Claude and friends existed, so I don't think it follows that not using these tools has led to the problem now.

    I’ve been wondering if vibe coding was responsible for the recent introduction of acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) bugs in FaceTime (muting and unmuting the microphone appears to t…

    We'll likely leave the answering of your equivalence question to our users. While we do plenty of internal research, the primary goal of our cloud platform is to dramatically expan…

    It's not the case at all - years ago we tested Pong with human neurons vs mouse neurons, and human neurons performed better. More importantly, they allow the study of the effect of…

    Thanks! We focus on using real neurons, I'm not aware of a software based equivalent. But users can `pip install cl-sdk` to get started with our API. The SDK is still early but sup…

    Cortical Labs CTO here. My focus is on the system itself rather than applications, but for what it's worth .. When the neurons didn't get stimulated by the application, performance…

    The neurons live on an electrode array kept inside a machine which keeps them alive (body temperature, sugar, gas, etc). The embedded system continually measures the voltage at eac…

    I work on the software stack for a biological computing platform (think: tool for programming with human neurons in a dish). Coding work spans FPGA (SystemVerilog), Linux kernel C,…

    This reminds me of the time when Quake started rendering inside the start button of the Windows 95 desktop (or maybe Win 98). I wish I could remember the details but it think it wa…

    Thank you - I recently picked up the art of electronics but wasn’t aware of this companion book.

    I'm comfortable that I'm writing code that's easy to understand and modify years later.
