Assuming a perfect system this still fails because you have now locked in all the law abiding citizens with someone who has proven they are ready to break the rules, effectively in…

This is a legacy design decision all the way back to iOS 1 before notifications existed. SMS messages used to be delivered through the same modal system. I believe the Apple ID and…

It is all downstream of the loss of the manufacturing industry in America. In the 50s you could entrust a random guy to build a liquid rocket engine in a dusty garage because he sp…

This is clearly intended for use in web applications so a JS runtime comes for free and the package is only 8.2kb

Hey, this is great! Could you make it so clicking on the video ID in the bottom right corner opens the full video in a new tab? It would be nice to be able to like / save the whole…

At long last: A way to write web apps in Python while preserving the un-Googleable naming conventions of JavaScript frameworks

Awesome, so in addition to confusing aircraft and sending them in the wrong directions, Putin can also stop everyone from driving in Europe whenever he feels like it.

That essay also loosely inspired the opening scene of Lord of War, which showcases the journey of a bullet from an underground mine to an Eastern European factory all the way into …

Wait till you find out about diesel generators!

I also wrote a Swift CLI that wraps over the Vision framework: https://github.com/nexuist/seev Text extraction is included (including the ability to specify custom words not found …

As a steelman, wouldn't the abundance of infinitely generate-able situations make it _easier_ for us to develop strong theories and models? The bottleneck has always been data. You…

This is really awesome work! How did you classify so many links?

I've sort of come around on this. Yes, everything you listed is valuable and good. But the reality is all of it was built with money that came from banks and investors. The only re…

Right, the value add should obviously remain locked in the hands of a few elite professionals and the rest of the world should have to beg and grovel at their feet to get anything …

I hope one day we can drop the corporate facade so these blog posts can be two to three sentences of "Our company sucked. Microsoft wanted to give me a fuck ton of money. I decided…

Do you not see the difference in American companies asking Americans to pressure their American representatives on American legislature, vs. a Chinese company doing this? If Google…

This is cool! Could we get an IPO option? Maybe there can be a way to set how the market responds and see how that directly impacts your net worth as a founder.

Siri is really quite dumb. I am confident that a 7B model would be able to provide better responses in over 90% of user queries. I can't even get Siri to reliably set a timer.

I think you're missing the bigger picture - these are the failures that happened even with all the rigorous testing and procedures. Imagine what would have happened without these r…
