That explanation is entirely inconsistent with sambellll's statement that when the user clicks a floor, the display tells them what elevator to take, and that elevator is then lock…

Interesting. I didn't realize that destination dispatch told the user what elevator to take at the time of request. (I've never used it.) Why not have active display above each ele…

It is almost certainly because of the way the simulation was performed: It turns out these fancy kiosks are in general worse for wait times compared to the traditional good ol' up …

If you want to know if something is a human or a parrot, you could give it a paint brush and ask it to paint the Mona Lisa.

It is also possible that the enlightenment only happened because of protestant reformation, which only happened because of the power and abuses of the Catholic Church. So in a way,…

I’ve been using cadquery and build123 with Claude code and I find it incredibly painful. What is your workflow for llm integration to openscad?

You don't need WSL to run Claude code on windows.

Unlike conventional cars that require expensive safety systems such as air bags and seat belts, the mover3000's top speed of one mile per hour makes it intrinsically safe.

This authorizes an attack on Iran? SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This joint resolution may be cited as the ‘‘Authorization for Use of Military Force’’. SEC. 2. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF U…

I love the visual of humans desperately trying to preserve what they consider the natural world, and when they turn their backs evolution does it's thing.

In this analogy though, maps are the only things we have access to. There may be Truth, but we only approximate it with our maps.

How do you give cc the ability to compile in a loop?

Slack is orders of magnitude better than Teams. Google docs is better than Microsoft office, but only by a little. Google drive is many many orders of magnitude better than Sharepo…

It sounds like you are making a distinction between digital (silicon computers) and analog (biological brains). As far as possible reasons that a computer can’t achieve AGI go, thi…

HFSS does a typical FEM matrix solve then displays the results. It is often used for very complex or large problems, so as far as I know it isn’t set up for instant display of resu…

> if these tools are close to having super-human intelligence, and they make humans so much more productive, why aren't we seeing improvements at a much faster rate than we are now…

> If they would expect to achieve AGI soon, their behaviour would be completely different. Why bother developing chatbots or doing sales, when you will be operating AGI in a few sh…

What’s the latest on open/free solvers to replace HFSS/CST?

Why do you say that America looks in research as a waste? We spend higher percentage of gdp on R&D than just about any other country in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis…

There must be some good options for modern ERP and MRP software, but it is hard to tell what is legitimate. Some software looks suitable for a job shop, but not a full design and m…

It seems amazing it has taken this long. Electric motors are so critical to national security, as well as the US economy. I keep wondering if these folks have a realistic alternati…

What is a hyperscaler for autos?

Is this really true? The linear algebra is deterministic, although maybe there is some chaotic behavior with floating point handling. The non deterministic part mostly comes from i…
