Cool project. Call me pessimist but all of these workflow/scaffolding/hooks are being absorbed by the model makers like ChatGPT and Anthropic. In fact, my personal setup with Claude Code is somewhat similar to this setup, except I bend it in CLAUDE.MD

Interesting story! During my short stay at CERN, I lived in an apartment in Pays de Gex as well. Cycling across the border twice a day is fun! (The border is not very bike-friendly though)

I am doing this and it's fun! The only hassles I had are a. setting up DDNS (since I don't have a static IP) and b. getting a certificate from Let's encrypt with only port 443 open (80 is blocked by my ISP). But other than that, it has been great! Hopefully my ISP won't have a problem with that ;)

> “Biological objects can have a complexity that cannot be simulated by a digital computer,” Austin says.

I couldn't find more details in the article. Any idea what those details that couldn't be simulated with digital computers (but could be with the simple robots) might be?

Same. Also the author mentioned peer review, is that available on substack?

The first issue was published today (Sep.3) so I thought this might be interesting.

Sorry for not being clear, I meant when all 21 million bitcoins are mined. The transaction fee is pretty small compared to the reward from the new coin, right? Also, since many cryptos have addressed the incentive issue. Maybe let's just focus on bitcoin specifically?

> The network hash rate is only so high because the ROI is there, but without it, people would still be mining.

Can you expand on that? What would be the incentive for the miners then? What happens when all blocks are mined?

The rear facing camera seems to have a nice upgrade. However, apart from AR applications, I found it weird to hold a 12 inch tablet in the air to take pictures while everyone could see my screen.

~~Why does one have to send an email just to ask about license?~~

Edit: As people had pointed out, that they were asking for chat to integrate it into the email client. Sorry for the confusion.

I just implemented something very similar last week! I store the note in a Raspberry Pi which I can access anywhere. Also with iOS shortcut, I can easily send note to my Pi from my iPhone's clipboard.

Does DDG have anything special that could metigate the current SEO madness?

tdhttt | 6 years ago | on: Why are we using black box models in AI when we don’t need to? (2019)

When using ML models to deal with natural science such as physics, working well+being interpretable actually implies new discovery. Working well only, on the other hand, cannot win you a Nobel Prize.

tdhttt | 6 years ago | on: Why are we using black box models in AI when we don’t need to? (2019)

One more benefit: an interpretable model could at least give some hint when the model is not working as intended (e.g. debugging).
