Look at the URL. It’s because the original WSJ title was “OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Resigns,” which was a dupe of yesterday’s discussions. WSJ changed the title yesterday eve…

Even better imo than all the chemical energy we could store when we have excess solar, think about all the water we could create. Creating fresh water from sea water is extremely e…

The best mental model for a heat pump is that they can maintain a certain temperature differential, say 80F. If it gets to be 0F outside and you want it to be 70? You don’t need to…

About ten years ago I set custom vibrations for my top contacts on my phone to be the Morse code representation of their initials. Ever since, I’ve had the super power of knowing w…

What an impressive company. A good reminder that, even in a market with umpteen competitors, success comes down to execution. Hope they keep up the good work.

Congrats on the launch! The novel (for robotics) business structure looks interesting. How are you planning on kickstarting the ecosystem? It looks like you need at least one or tw…

You can’t join unless you’re an accredited investor. That’s because, like for many other fun similar things, the enterprise passes the Howey Test and is considered a security under…

Vitess and Citus seem to be half-way between manual sharding and distributed SQL. They really discourage cross-shard updates, for instance, whereas they're a really natural part of…

At work we're exploring ways of scaling our database layer, ideally achieving horizontal scalability in both read and write throughput. A few years ago horizontal write scalability…

SymPy is pretty niche, but it saved my butt many years ago in my years of collegiate robotics. We spent months unsuccessfully trying to compute kinematics and sensor coordinate tra…

An incredible article. The author pulls out all the emotional stops against some environmentally conscious elite he dislikes: > Heidegger, like much of the conservation movement, w…

I’ve been battling pretty severe RSI for a couple of years now. My unscientific and anecdotal couple of cents: - Get an arm roller and use it regularly to massage and stretch your …

This is hacking and is unethical at best and at worst, extremely illegal. Congratulations, you found out a way to systematically steal other people’s reward points and are helping …
