That’s helpful. So instead of a much larger test matrix you are using a model to reduce that to the most likely candidates, right?

That's right.

Everything with LLM-style AI is brute force. I don’t think people care, unless there’s a new data center going in next door that’s incredibly resource inefficient .

There does not appear to be one in this robot, from what I am able to read about it. I think sometimes people assume there must be something like that to help balance.

This generalizes fixed 2-wheel dynamic balancers which mostly don’t have flywheels for stability either, the focus is on the dynamics of keeping the wheels under the center of gravity, or a bit offset when moving.

The novelty here is about switching between dynamic control policies while keeping them simple.


Foul! No such thing was claimed.

>But war, war is something fascists value intensely because the beating heart of fascist ideology is a desire to prove heroic masculinity in the crucible of violent conflict (arising out of deep insecurity, generally). Or as Eco puts it, “For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life, but, rather, life is lived for struggle…life is permanent warfare” and as a result, “everyone is educated to become a hero.”2 Being good at war is fundamentally central to fascism in nearly all of its forms – indeed, I’d argue nothing is so central. Consequently, there is real value in showing that fascism is, in fact, bad at war, which it is.


It’s hard to see but & is literally an e and a t conjoined. Not a ligature exactly

It is easier to see in other fonts, but yes, I am aware of that. However as far as I am aware, it was never used to join an e and t that were not the latin et.

Art is always left undefined. This is a feature, not a bug.


I agree, I’m an old dude too. For personal projects I do what I like. I also like carving stone and wood the hard way, just because.

At work though the hype sucks the life out of the last part of the job that some people found enjoyable, because complete control is enjoyable. Personally I think work is just doing what someone else wants, rather than pleasing yourself.


They see the American experiment of populism as validating, and the fact that in America it is mostly been pulled off by bunglers is interesting too. And the fact that you can get such traction with very few ideas and mostly just labels like “woke” makes the whole thing seem like magic.


That Pepsi can is from the days before aluminum cans. And the pull tabs all separated completely. You would see thousands of those pull tabs everywhere you stopped your car, especially where you least wanted to see them, like in National Parks.


Reminds me of this scene in Mad Men:

Hey, in a/b testing the bot that ordered kale salad was far less popular. People wouldn’t use it! So we carefully considered the customer needs.
