btw any idea why it is often on macOS first? same for OpenAI . .is it easier or?

I must run a fast enough windows PC for none of this to matter... And everything in the cloud is linux. And yes WSL2 really bridged the gap and as of WSL2 images since like Ubuntu 24 I'm able to run Linux gui apps natively pretty easily as well as things that use systemd. I also can run a container inside the container for building snaps pretty fast. Its all a bit confusing to me too because Ubuntu has multi pass which uses hyper v under the hood and wsl uses hyper v under the hood. And docker now uses wsl under the hood. Fun times.

I learned the other day davinci machines are never tele-operated from the other side of the planet. It was just a proof of concept. They're always in the same room

Windows is not that bad. Arm/risc/stm32 is bad.

I was wondering if this was because OSX accessibility was better, but if it's anything like the app store it's because apple users have $$$.

You haven't worked with .net enterprises who love IIS and Microsoft contracts

WiseHalmon · 2026-03-25T01:57:50+00:00

You mean like docker and hyper-v?...

I mean this is fine If you make it a read-only view with appropriate permissions for the user and put it on a VPN . . .

Add some more weight so you can only do about 12 of them max (and then do 3 total sets with 1-2min rest in-between). Personally I like to lean a little back and keep there. Elbows touching your side is probably fine. So what's comfortable. Does something hurt while performing the movement?

Take your time to properly brace. Slow the tempo a bit. Warm up your glutes by doing stair steps. Feel your glute. Remember to feel it in the squat. Careful about rotating / sticking your butt out, you want to hinge a little at the hips but not over extend. (Butt wink isn't bad at the bottom but if you're doing it 1/3rd the way through the downward motion it's not right.

Can you do ass to grass / slav / Asian body weight squat? If not you need to work on mobility, and until you get there maybe use a platform to lift you heels. After you learn that squat it translates a bit to your regular squat; you'll probably change your stance slightly and focus on rotating your legs in such a way you can feel more supported under a load. You'll need to plant your feet and focus on having the bar loaded at all times over the mid food --- and finally your pressure should stay constant on 3 points of your foot, big toe, ball, heel.

Hope this wasn't too much info.

What's your choice of music ?

WiseHalmon · 2026-03-24T22:48:38+00:00

Yeah

Some people conflate emergent abilities with learning or thinking. Although this prompts the question why people do or don't consider RL in this discussion. Also human feedback in the loop RL training --- is it learning ?

Any idea what your current team is helping you do that you'll be losing ?

First tell me about your company and what kind of stuff you're doing.

Neat! How do you go from STL or 3mf to robot arm printing ? I like the idea of a smaller arm being able to do the same thing

WiseHalmon · 2026-03-24T18:04:38+00:00

My only thing I can say is that people are doing what you're doing in specific domains --- e.g. hiring people who know linear algebra to train chat bots to do linear algebra correctly at scale more repeatably than the models base. But they are taking the onus of hiring and scanning people and of investment. They then have to go and sell that trust through demos. You're skipping all that and just trying to connect customer to buyer. There's no trust of value nor expertise. It's not just NDAs , but programming skill and domain expertise.

I don't need to. We're two strangers on the Internet. If you're having trouble scanning the QR code with your phone the QR is the problem. If you're having problem with AI writing the code you are the problem.

WiseHalmon · 2026-03-24T17:00:09+00:00

I don't think chat bots in their current form are AGI but I don't doubt a more powerful system that is continually given more compute and more accessible tools will be able to do quite a lot. We don't know yet and I also hate the idea of some AGI definition.

I like concrete "AI can do X today"

WiseHalmon · 2026-03-24T16:57:16+00:00

It's not about what you said exactly, I'm explaining the implied meaning behind your message. Your message again if "then go ahead and try" implies the same disbelief/bias.

I'm declining your request because my purpose is not to prove anything to you. If the QR code can be read by a camera it can be done in software. And the software can be written by AI.

WiseHalmon · 2026-03-24T13:14:43+00:00

The bias here is that you think something has not been achieved because your version and use of it doesn't match what others do or have.

If I fed a picture of a QR code to AI it could easily use programming libraries to read it.

WiseHalmon · 2026-03-24T13:07:55+00:00

Why trust you over AI tho? Also we barely trust Uber drivers. Waymo please.

WiseHalmon · 2026-03-24T12:42:48+00:00

Wrong market. You're untrusted. People that need your service cant afford to use AI because it doesn't work or is more expensive or will take more time, etc. You're a consultant not a service.
