This is where I think Taalas-style hardware AI may dominate in the future, especially for vehicle/plane autopilot, even it can't update weights. But determinism is actually a good thing.


This is a limitation of LLM i/o which historically is a bit slow due to these sequential user vs assistant chat prompt formats they still train on. But in principle nothing stops you from feeding/retrieving realtime full duplex input/output from a transformer architecture. It will just get slower as you scale to billions or even trillions of parameters, to the point where running it in the cloud might offer faster end-to-end actions than running it locally. What I could imagine is a small local model running everyday tasks and a big remote model tuning in for messy situations where a remote human might have to take over otherwise.

I'd say UI is mostly a 2D tweaking + state management job, they don't exactly fit in a seq2seq style.

Perhaps title had a typo?

fluorographane -> Fluorographene

Can't find a single page about fluorographane

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=fluorographane&t...

But this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorographene


Not a typo. Fluorographene is the sp² form (Nair et al. 2010). Fluorographane uses the -ane suffix to denote full sp³ saturation — same convention as graphene → graphane. The sp³ hybridization is what creates the bistable C-F orientation that stores the bit.

TIL thanks!

hmm, it isn't strictly gravitational projectile movement isn't it?

Could this be used to make better ASCII animations?

Looks like it's just find sources in Confluence against bullshit Claude Code says?

I thought it can search for online cites.


wow this is amazing. There's an old Chinese proverb, 道生一,一生二,二生三,三生万物

The Tao giveth △ (false)

△ gives △ △ (true)

△(△, △) giveth rise to all things computable

(just kidding, I am totally lost to this)

SPOF. I'd suggest use automatic tools to audit every line of code no matter who the author is.


I am making something similar. Also been using Kokoro for TTS. Very cool project!

Gemma 4 is kinda too heavyweight even with E2B. I am sticking with qwen 0.8B at the moment.


> Soviet engineering wasn't sloppy. It was designed for robustness, loose tolerances and simplicity

aka "fitting".

I wrote a blog on why Soviet-style engineering is bad https://blog.est.im/2026/stderr-04
