I did not know A2A had a competitor :(
They're different use cases, ACP is for clients (UIs, interfaces)

For me, it helps to learn the history.
When I was learning how to make a web app, I understood what was happening, but it didn't really click why I was doing it this way.
For example, you might learn the history of punch cards, tele-typewriters (this era of coding is downright awesome, the programmer had to maintain so much in their head), terminal emulators, etc and then build yourself some kind of CLI which does something silly like get the current weather from a free API.
Or, if you want to learn how to make a web app, learn how people initially sent HTML from the server, then there was a bunch of jQuery stuff, now it makes sense why we have these SPA frameworks...
You'll have to decide what kind of project you want to learn and some source which tells the history, but pick a project and then just get into a playful state with it for a week or so. Then decide what to do next.
After you make a website, maybe you'll want to learn how all of the networking happens underneath. The networking stuff is foundational knowledge that'll never expire. All the layers that make it all work are quite impressive.

Reason being the human touch as opposed to AI one perhaps
Intentional typos and deliberately misspelling words.. I have thought... is going to have to become a style. Everyone will have their own way of fudging it up.
Sort of like the painters who came after the "Realism" era.

Decoder only LLMs are Markov chains with sophisticated models of the state space. Anyone familiar with Hamiltonian Markov Chains will know that for good results you need a warm up period so that you're sampling from the typical set which is the area with generally the highest probability density in the distribution (not necessary the high propbability/maximum likelihood).
I have spent a lot of time experimenting with Chain of Thought professionally and I have yet to see any evidence to suggest that what's happening with CoT is any more (or less) than this. If you let the model run a bit longer it enters a region close to the typical set and when it's ready to answer you have a high probability of getting a good answer.
There's absolutely no "reasoning" going on here, except that some times sampling from the typical set near the region of your answer is going to look very similar to how human reason before coming up with an answer.
I wish it got called "scaffolding" instead

This guy is essentially an AI psychosis victim at this point.
They recently opened a pull request on ocaml compiler...
One thing I’m curious about is this: Ilya Sutskever wants to build Safe Superintelligence, but he keeps his company and research very secretive.
Given that building Safe Superintelligence is extraordinarily difficult — and no single person’s ideas or talents could ever be enough — how does secrecy serve that goal?
Doesn't sound like you listened to the interview. He addresses this and says he may make releases that would be otherwise held back because he believes it's important for developments to be seen by the public.

Neat! I just sent out an order to JLCPCB for an ESP32 based board. I don't have a rework station or any experience with SMT so I decided to go for their assembly options. It's 80 per board, but would probably be cheaper per board if I got more than 2 (I also have more components on my board than you).
Question about the instructions in your README, you say that once you're done with the top side, repeat for the bottom, but when you're working on the bottom side, what stops the elements on the top side from falling off once the heat passes through the board and melts the solder on that side?
Surface tension of solder in liquid state can hold the parts while upside down. Depends on weight of component & geometry of pads
