Still time to get somebody my @nostarch book "Learn Robotics with @Raspberry_Pi " for Christmas!
Make a 2-wheeled robot from scratch: no prior knowledge of coding/electronics needed! Line following, image recognition, obstacle avoidance & more!

using more degrees of freedom to accomplish tasks slower is bad engineering

“If an AI agent carries out a workflow consisting of 10 tasks autonomously but has a 10% error rate per task, the compounded error rate over the whole workflow is 65%.”
There is a lot of nuance building production LLM systems

It is with great sadness that the Simons Foundation announces the death of its co-founder and chair emeritus, James Harris Simons. Jim was an award-winning mathematician, a legendary investor and a generous philanthropist. simonsfoundation.org/2024/05…

Politico profile on AI lobbying has HILARIOUS anecdote:
Tristan Harris showed lawmakers META chatbot could give instructions to make bio-weapon
Mark Zuckerberg was present, took out phone & got same instructions using Google

Gemini won't return C++ coding help if you're under 18 because it "wants to preserve your safety".

I interned as a SWE at ARRIVAL after IPO in summer 2021 - learnt a huge amount from some extremely talented people. It's a shame that a potential bastion of UK tech has fizzled out like this. Hope that we see startups founded from employees and the ashes.
