Seeing how bad the results are when you're casually approaching something makes it very evident that it's a topic that can be optimized.

How much of this is because you don't trust the result?

I've found this same pattern in myself, and I think the lack of faith that the output is worth asking others to believe in is why it's a throwaway for me. Just yesterday someone mentioned a project underway in a meeting that I had ostensibly solved six months ago, but I didn't even demo it because I didn't have any real confidence in it.

I do find that's changing for myself. I actually did demo something last week that I 'orchestrated into existence' with these tools. In part because the goal of the demo was to share a vision of a target state rather than the product itself. But also because I'm much more confident in the output. In part because the tools are better, but also because I've started to take a more active role in understanding how it works.

Even if the LLMs come to a standstill in their ability to generate code, I think the practice of software development with them will continue to mature to a point where many (including myself) will start to have more confidence in the products.

In situ manufacturing. You just have to send enough to build the thing that builds the factory.

>From Fig. 1, it is clear that many typical CSTs can be used to detect debris with characteristic length less than 10 cm at distances as far as roughly 50 km. These same sensors have the potential to detect debris as small as 1 cm in diameter as far as 5 km away. Even space-limited CubeSats using nanosatellite-class CSTs can detect 10-cm-class debris at roughly 25 km away or 1-cm-class debris at a distance of 2.5 km. Higher-performing imagers like the MOST telescope can further characterize orbital debris of 10 cm diameter as far as 400 km away or be used to characterize orbital debris smaller than 1 cm at ranges not exceeding 40 km.

Even when it's not particularly effective, the additional information provided tends to be quite useful.

Did make me wonder if you could build a solid state one using well-timed pulses through an electromagnet that provide torque through the field interaction with the earth's magnetic field.

Not much torque available there obviously, but on a per-revolution basis you don't need much.

I think azan_ is demonstrating that shipping products 'suitable for the needs of many' is going to have to compete with 'slopping software for the needs of one'.

So you (or in this case I) get all excited about how fantastic it is, but others that hear it are just kind of 'meh'. The only way I know this is listing to songs shared in that same exuberance by others, and to me they are 'meh'.

I shared this sentiment with some folks and one person said 'yeah, you should try writing your own music sometime...same thing happens' xD

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perverse_incentive

"According to the story, the British government, concerned about the number of venomous cobras in Delhi, offered a bounty for every dead cobra. Initially, this was a successful strategy; large numbers of snakes were killed for the reward. Eventually, however, people began to breed cobras for the income. When the government became aware of this, the reward program was scrapped, and the cobra breeders set their snakes free, leading to an overall increase in the wild cobra population."

The OSINT data seems to be the most likely source of the poisoned content. I guess you could bury that in a social media profile?

Made me realize quality is a process that requires investment and commitment, and not some magic quality imbued upon the product by the locale in which it's made.

tgtweak has a good one in here.

Even as a kid I was confused. Where else is the money going to come from?

I also have recently got into caving, which usually results in 5-50 people camping over weekends in rural Kentucky. No signal most of the time.

I've been tinkering with it for the past two days. It's a very real system for coordinating work between a plurality of humans and agents. Someone likened it to kubernetes in that it's a complex system that is going to necessitate a lot of invention and opinions, the fact that it *looks* like a meme is immaterial, and might be an effort to avoid people taking it too seriously.

Who knows where it ends up, but we will see more of this and whatever it is will have lessons learned from Gas Town in it.

There were no $4 lunch bowls nearby, but I didn't need that to appreciate that I could walk to six restaurants, two wine shops and three cafes in less than three minutes. It was wonderful.
