This sounds exactly like what John Carmack discussed on Episode #309 of the Lex Fridman Podcast.

It definitely looks impressive.

But something looks off: the red area around the "seeds" is pushed towards the center of the strawberry - or that at least the outer most layer is somewhat transparent and some deeper layers are visible.

> In mathematical language, searching a sorted list is basically inverting a monotonic function, by using a closed-loop control algorithm.

Never thought about it this way. Brilliant!

Oh yeah! I was playing MacSwear quite a bit on my friends MacBook (I think with a PowerPC CPU)

100% speculation, but:

to me it feels like a cost cutting measure needed for Tesla to survive. Elon and his reality distortion field made it look like a touch screen (and no controls) are superior - and all the car companies started mimicking it out of fear to miss out on something

For me that's when I take a shower. I think I take showers way too long, but it's just a thing I enjoy and I think through many topics then. Sometimes I am sad that I cannot take notes during the shower, but if I could, maybe I would be back to square one.

I think there is some huge difference between learning some bleeding edge ideas vs stuff that -for years - has been repackaged, processed, and optimized for being taught and for making exams out of it.

I forgot which interview that was, but Jim mentioned that some folks are genetically less affected by smoking - and the he did such a test and he seems not to be affected by it and that this was the reason why he didn't stop.

I think the solution to this could be the "web of trust" - as used with PGP. Everyone can sign their images with their private keys. Whether you think those images are trustworthy then depends on who else trusts that. For example, you could have some newspapers verify/trust their journalists camera's. And you could trust your friends camera's etc.
