Taking something apart and trying to fix it was his way of figuring it out. I really appreciated that, and I find myself operating in similar ways.
He also had a fearless approach and the belief that he could fix it. I never saw him give up on a project—almost to a fault. There are areas for improvement in that approach, like asking for help.
Thanks, Dad, for inspiring me to fix things, take on challenges, be fearless, and believe I can succeed if I applied myself.
To all dads out there. Happy Father's Day.

Looks like US is using tariffs to compete.
How do you define "understanding a concept" - what do you get if a system can "understand" concept vs not "understanding" a concept?
this is clever
It seems like a hybrid approach would scale better and be significantly cheaper.
You both are going through a challenging time. Of-course you are going to find some things that are more interesting to you than your founder, and vice versa. Especially if you are pivoting every month (which is a whole different problem).
Going through tough times can build resentment, the way to get on the same page is to talk.
Nudges can be helpful.
So my point is, that while you might get some false positives, it's worth automating as long as many of the decisions are reversible or correctable.
You might not want to use this in all cases, but it's still worthwhile for many many cases. The use case worth automating depends on the acceptable rate of error for the given use case.
Imagine letting a passenger in a car use the e-brake at any time.
It's a tricky problem.
