I cannot believe this is real, it was so well done. It felt like creativity of the internet from the early 2000s met the polished design standards of today.

I love Waymos compared to my ride sharing experience.

The base car is appealing (currently Jaguars). They're spacious for a >6 ft individual like myself. The user interface is intuitive and fun. There's a cool factor that exists.

Against ride sharing, given the lack of a driver, there's no variability in driver with regards to ambiance, scents, cleanliness, chattiness, and smoothness of the ride.

I am very much looking forward to this expansion.

I wonder about the potential for varied immune responses across different populations.

While it's a significant step forward for accessibility, it also invites us to consider how such technologies could integrate into everyday use for all users. This could enhance ease of use and efficiency, but it also requires careful consideration of privacy safeguards.

As tech giants delve deeper into markets like gaming, do they enhance the industry by driving innovation and offering new platforms, or could this stifle smaller developers and lead to less diversity in the gaming landscape?

It's fascinating how surgical terminology, much like programming languages, uses precise syntax to convey complex operations in a compact form.

Just as in coding, where function names like append(), open(), or close() might describe operations on data, surgical terms like -ectomy, -ostomy, and -otomy encapsulate detailed medical procedures on the human body.

This linguistic efficiency not only facilitates clear communication among professionals but also mirrors the procedural thinking found in technical fields.

-opathy would generally be suitable. It implied a pathological condition involving some form of tissue damage or dysfunction.

Minor clarification, swelling does not necessarily always mean inflammation. -itis refers to inflammation of an organ or area of the both. Swelling, particularly when from fluid retention, is referred to as -edema. There is overlap though. :)

In the Supplementary Materials, there's a set of example videos of this work in action. In particular, the helix shape is pretty cool to see form in (essentially) the blink of an eye.

Kept it pretty simple and straightforward, although I think I could improve it with a portfolio section.

Can someone comment on the success of these sort of prize competitions? Particularly the success of xPrize.
