Agreed. I chose Robot Names, and it gave me a Mars Orbital Mission for Mom Lane, and Cygnus was a Deke Slayton reference. It seemed more about space and satellites than robots with personalities. And the thumbnail number (over 9000!) did not match the clicked result. And the segmented sections were hard to follow and navigate.

Is Jensen Huang still all-in on OpenClaw? That moment feels more like a flash in the pan.

> or just an excuse to fleece regular buyers

In a market with healthy competition (no collusion), this generally can't happen. Every single vendor is incentivized to lower their prices slightly at all times, with a floor at cost plus margin.

I've been reading these comments and finally read the "Nuts" blog post. I guess I understand the butthurt, but I really appreciate this style of writing. Curt, forceful, to the point, fronting any internal conflict the reader may hold. This is clearly painful for conflicted readers. For the unconflicted, it is satisfying to merely agree or disagree.

This seems nonsensical. Care to elaborate?

Do you outsource all of your thinking and argumentation to LLMs and other people?

This reminds me of the various visualizations in WinAmp, and there was no shortage of creativity there! Geiss (sp?) anyone? It really whips the llama's ass!

Is there a gentler intro to this topic?

The jargon term, slack, comes to mind, in the concept-cluster of the old Google 20%-time, Slackware Linux, and Church of the SubGenius.

Very interesting perspective. I will be reviewing in depth. Much appreciated.

I recently (~6 mo ago) made it a goal to understand and implement a useful Kalman filter, but I realized that they are very tightly coupled to their domain and application. I got about half as far as I wanted, and took a pause. I expect your work here will get me to the finish line, so I am psyched! Thank you!

Thanks for this. My updated relevant portion of ~/.gitconfig:

    [alias]
        st = status
        ci = commit
        co = checkout
        br = branch
        df = diff
        dfs = diff --stat
        dfc = diff --cached
        dfh = diff --histogram
        dfn = diff --name-status
        rs = restore
        rsc = restore --staged
        last = log -1 HEAD
        lg = log --graph --decorate --oneline --abbrev-commit
        cm = commit -m
        ca = commit --amend
        cane = commit --amend --no-edit
        who = shortlog -sn --no-merges HEAD
        dmg = log --oneline -i -E --grep='(incident|outage|downtime|rollback|revert|mitigate|mitigation|hotfix|broke|prod)' --since='1 year ago'
        bugs = log --oneline -i -E --grep='(bug|bugfix|fix|fixed|fixes|defect|regression|hotfix|broke)' --since='1 year ago'
        bugfiles = !git log --name-only --format='' -i -E --grep='(bug|bugfix|fix|fixed|fixes|defect|regression|hotfix|broke)' --since='1 year ago' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
        monthly = !git log --since='1 year ago' --format='%ad' --date=format:'%Y-%m' | sort | uniq -c
        churn = !git log --format='' --name-only --diff-filter=AM --since='1 year ago' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -20
