It works great with my kids sometimes. Asking a series of questions about some kid-level science topic for instance. They get to direct it to exactly what they want to know, and yo…

As someone who isn't well versed in this Node ecosystem, why is omitting a standard library a separate project? It sounds like something you'd do as a Node feature, or variant of N…

Isn't this thing going to be subsidized by taxpayers in the end anyway? California already a dumb communal insurance thing, the "California FAIR Plan" for people who can't get insu…

Yes, the relevant blur here is in your retina, as it tracks a moving screen object, called "sample and hold" blur. 60 fps is not enough when the pixel persists for the full frame d…
