The important part is PBCs protect you from a shareholder primacy directive. Eric Ries describes it in his new book, but the example he gives is if the most evil company you know t…

I've been reading the book. The important part is in 2004 they were offered to be acquired by serono. Because of their governance they were able to say no to the acquisition. Meanw…

One thing I loved about the first solveit course was how create the community is. It goes back to fast.ai too, but everyone is super kind, smart, and has diverse backgrounds. We've…

Here is a video showing off using solveit for creating a web app. https://youtu.be/DgPr3HVp0eg?t=3120 To reiterate other comments, this is more about the methodology than the tool,…

Right. I agree, but I think you are appealing to generosity when it works just as well if you appeal to greed and selfishness. If I'm a parent who does not intend to take advantage…

Templating is great. I think I prefer fasthtml because I can apply all of the python tricks I know. Python arguments seem to work very well. Having a list of dom elements and splat…

Imo they are abstractions but not quite as bad as you / myself / everyone else is used to. Monsterui is moreso an extension of fasthtml. It doesn't hide any of the underlying API. …

There is no reason for the author to be misleading about Table as a "high level component". There are more than enough examples that fit your definition. Look at the code for dashb…

If you want a custom Div you can just define a function for it. The definition of DivLAligned is just for convenience. You can see its implementation is fairly trivial. https://git…

Much better really? Looking at the muni map, pretty much all transit clusters around downtown. And bart doesn't even stop at 4th and King. You have to go to Millbrae for a close-is…

The other important implication is how Caltrain could be routed through underground tunnels to Salesforce transit center. 4th and king isn't super nice and, correct me if I'm wrong…

I took a waymo in Chandler that had no safety driver and it was able to make unprotected left turns just fine.

I work for Lyft's self driving car division, Level 5! Nbdev has been great. I use it a lot. Thank you for all of the work you've put into it!

So I use this in production at my company. It's an awesome tool. Personally when I'm coding in python I like to prototype in jupyter, copy code over, and then reimport anyway. Nbde…

I haven't used it in a while, but I remember having good experiences with Sumatra. https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/

Been using this for work projects. A lot of raised eyebrows when people hear jupyter first development, but the automated docs, flexibility with prose, inline testing, out of the b…

I took a neuroscience course back in the day that discussed findings related to autism. I don't remember everything, but there was a discussion on excess dopamine early in the brai…

Sometimes it is useful to make useless things. It will build experience while being fun and making you more able to come up with "useful" things. Tried this with a friend of mine. …

You can but it's not ideal. What if you want to write your own cuda kernel for your experiment? Python isn't really setup for this easily unless you want to throw odd c++ integrati…
