I'm going to take a while guess here and say this strategy is part of their plan to get even more access to more code to learn from.

If you can see entire version histories of how code is generated, what bugs occur, what fixes are made and how they're implemented, you have the entire human and machine coding feedback loop to learn from.

I didn't see a number for cycle life. That'd be my biggest question here. You can charge in less than 7 minutes but how many times before performance (capacity) degrades?

Fascinating 20 degrees C is huge. What's a fair bit of water? At what time of day and how long did you collect water?

This is a tangent but what was your journey into VFX?

Do you have a good resource for learning what kinds of hardware can run what kinds of models locally? Benchmarks, etc?

I'm also trying to tie together different hardware specs to model performance, whether that's training or inference. Like how does memory, VRAM, memory bandwidth, GPU cores, etc. all play into this. Know of any good resources? Oddly enough I might be best off asking an LLM.

I am really surprised. I would have guessed that a Nobel Prize would be awarded to advancements in the field itself. Not for inspirations from it or to tools that led to advancements. Although as I write this I'm sure there have been several prizes awarded to scientists / engineers who have developed tools to advance physics. Like radio astronomy? Still surprised though.

Do you have a source for the vibrating windows? That is super interesting.

I'm really curious - how will this affect sites that monetize off of affiliate links and ads? It seems to me that AI summarization and overview will deter, at the minimum reduce, the number of page clicks and traffic to sites that are producing information.

I agree with the entrepreneurial DIYer aspect of it. But I do think sitting in front of screens all day screams for a longing for nature.

Also I think there might a counterculture aspect to it, which ties in to your reliance point. Growing your own food is one of the most subversive thing you can do. Get solar and a few other things, and you're completely self-reliant.

It allows one to take a shortcut to the fisherman life, in the fisherman and the banker story.
