As a startup that chose to locate in Canada, we’ve already had a dozen amazing candidates currently in the US reach out and apply for roles since we shared our thinking earlier this week [0].
The feeling of ambient immigration hostility in the US (even beyond any one specific policy) is palpable.
“We’ll be using reinforcement learning to effectively come up with the optimal toolpaths to see a 3D model, and based on the curvature and the geometric forms, to choose what are the right tools, or what are the right angles of attack,” Springut says. “And when we do that, that’s what’s going to bring the cost of fabricating stone down by 80% to 90%.”
Awesome stuff! We use a similar approach (without MCP) to great effect with Prolog currently and feels like we're only just starting to scratch the surface here.
A great paper from Nasim Borazjanizadeh and Steven Piantadosi at UC Berkeley for those interested: Reliable Reasoning Beyond Natural Language https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.11373

Ok, so they're growing some kind of microorganism. But I feel like for years I heard that spirulina would become an important tool for feeding the planet ... but mostly the people that consume it do so in pretty small amounts, and it doesn't seem to be taking over the world.
From a skim, the site doesn't actually say what organism they're growing. Why is it more likely to be impactful than others?
This — suspension of judgement long enough to engage in genuine introspection, followed by a return to the conversation with humility — is something we so rarely see, and each need to engage in more.
But genuinely do appreciate your reply - makes that little voice in my head feel "less alone"
What was interesting/depressing was my "how about a creed" post was getting a few up-votes, then the moment I replied below saying maybe I was a "crap anti-rascist", my OP started to get down-votes.
Text hadn't changed, but by putting some context around it, it was read differently.
In my OP I very deliberately stuck to abstracts that I'd hoped "nobody could disagree with".
And nobody seemed to - until I put more words beneath it.
You're right though - engaging with your own posts is perceived as negative. People read the platitude and hit 'like' - the more you put beneath it, the greater the opportunity for something to annoy somebody (and scroll up to try to kill the thread)
