I worked on a project in 2016 that told me all I needed to know about the space. It was an online voice assistant and I couldn't find myself wanting to interact with it. Even though I spent a lot of time on the project, I scrapped it, because it was just lame. It looked kind of cool, but was lame.

I personally don't think there is enough cybernetica to control with voice. At some point there may be, but right now, the internet is just one giant consumption stream with a few searches and purchases now and then.

That digital daemon experience taught me that I care more about physical intelligence than verbal intelligence when it comes to my technology. I'm verbally intelligent myself, I don't need an AI who can't even speak correctly, let alone understand me, be my verbal interface to the world.

No, he was CTO of a 3 person startup. He was the ONLY one that knew how to code for a while. He did it pretty obsessively and slept next to his computer.

This is a robot neck design I made early in my career. I still to this day, use the fundamental concepts I learned from doing this project.

There is a big difference between writing in Go vs Rust. Any intermediate/advanced webdev will feel competent in Go in a matter of days. This is definitely not true with rust.

Ya. The article seems plausible, but NumPy uses Blas/Lapack which can do parallel computation, so thats what is confusing about it to me.
