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.

This is a central tenet in a variety of approaches and philosophies, from religions (it's one of the Marks of Existence in Buddhism) to cognitive behavioral therapy — but few ideas have changed my thinking, resilience, self-control, and happiness as much as this one.
> Ultimately, legal tools should be limited to problems they can solve. Fake news is not one of these problems.
False. Replace "fake news" with "false advertising", and there's ample precedent for how this might be achieved.
