I love seeing this. Klondike with a physical deck was my “I need to do something with my hands or I’ll go crazy” release valve during the pandemic after work. I thought about trying to build something like this, but it was far outside of my technical ability. I settled for a simulator that would run toilet solitaire so I could see the distribution of cards remaining after games with a well-shuffled deck.
E4B is pretty good for extracting tables of items from receipt scans and inferring categories, wish this could be called from within a shortcut to just select a photo and add the extracted table to the clipboard
Interesting that enforcing an ontology seemed to result in reduced performance. (https://youtu.be/hLDKW3-OKUA) I guess developing an ontology based on the extracted graph will be an important area for future work
Makes sense. If you’re too specific early on, you miss everything that you didn’t expect. Much better to be open first, and then do the filtering afterwards, based on what you observe.
If we're talking about objects in the asteroid belt, the internal consistency varies wildly. Most smaller objects are indeed rubble piles: boulders, pebbles, and sand-like grains, down to dust. As you'd expect, they're very weak structurally. Notably, the OSIRIS-REx probe was nearly swallowed by its loose material during the sample collection on Bennu.
Some of the other large, iron-rich asteroids like Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Interamnia are more like protoplanets than rubble piles.
Besides the concern for structural integrity/stability, they also have reasonable amounts of water ice, volatiles, metals, ad other resources needed to supply an outpost.
"The spacecraft risked being swallowed whole by the asteroid as it collected the sample. As OSIRIS-REx touched the ground in October 2020, pebbles began flying about. The timely ignition of its thruster kept it safe and led to the creation of a puzzling large crater 8 meters (26 feet) across."

Exactly. Using lmstudio you can get structured output like with openai... I have everything in a zod schema then wrote an adapter to both openai and lmstudio instance.
You know that thing in anxiety dreams where you feel very uncoordinated and your attempts to manipulate your surroundings result in unpredictable consequences? Like you try to slam on the brake pedal but your car doesn’t slow down, or you’re trying to get a leash on your dog to lead it out of a dangerous situation and you keep failing to hook it on the collar? Maybe that’s extra latency because your brain is trying to render the environment at the same time as it is acting.
Firstly it can render environments in detail. I'm (mostly) aphantasic even in dreams, so this wasn't obvious to me. But most people literally get visual renderings in their mind.
Secondly, it's fairly clear now that our sensory inputs are not being experienced as sensory inputs. We experience a reconstruction. Obvious basic sign of this is that we fill in the gap in vision where the optic nerve is. But generally, we're making an integrated world model all the time out of the senses, and are conscious of that world model.
You're right though, both the above are rendering the experience and can take shortcuts for that. It's sufficiently detailed in each case though that it kinda is rendering the world too, in some sense.
I guess I mean that we are awake experience the input from our senses, and that in a dream only the replication of the experience of seeing or hearing etc. is needed, not a replication of the input of the senses which then leads to the experience.
Reminds me of Nadia traveling all over Mars after the first failed revolution and building habitats from scratch using the huge robots in KSR’s Mars trilogy.
Very cool, but probably not solving the factors involved in housing unaffordability.
