Skydio is the leading U.S. drone company and world leader in autonomous flight. Our drones are used for inspecting the energy grid, de-escalating life and death scenarios in public safety, inspecting bridges, giving soldiers better situational awareness on the battlefield, search and rescue missions, and more. We serve the core industries that our civilization runs on and have life-saving impact.

If you’re interested in being a core member of a 200+ person world-class engineering and research team that is defining the future of a major emerging industry,

We’re looking for a diverse combination of engineers, researchers, and managers with strong SW skills and experience across complex products. We’re particularly interested in people with robotics, web, deep learning, game dev, streaming or cloud experience.

100% this. People need to understand this.

So no, it’s not unconditionally correct either.

This describes *User Interfaces*. The closest alternative would be to just return React JS code directly.

But this adds a layer of constraint and control, preventing LLMs to generate e.g. malicious React JS code.

Empirically, the past 200 years have seen high growth globally, and human well being has improved massively as a result. Life expectancy has skyrocketed, infant death, hunger have gone down to near zero, literacy has gone up, work is much more comfortable, interesting and rewarding, etc. But at a more fundamental level, our material quality of life is that of literal kings. The 1st decile poorest people in the US or Europe have much better living conditions than a king of 500 years ago. We are so lucky to benefit from this, yet we completely forgot that fact. You complain about congestion and advertizing, but with degrowth you would complain about hunger and dying from cold during winter.

Could you explain more here? What do you consider "business logic". Context: I have a client app to fly drone using gamepad, mouse and keyboard, and video feedback and maps, and drone tasking etc.

To 'deploy' an Excel file I go to Office365 and create my excel file and hit share

To 'deploy' a Streamlit file I go to Streamlit and write my single file python code (can be a one liner) and hit share

As simple to build and deploy as Excel, but with the right data types, the right UI, the right access and version control, the right programming language that LLMs understand, the right SW ecosystem and packages, etc.

But I can't believe the actual literal words are diffusing when you're thinking.

When being asked: "How are you today", there is no way that your thoughts are literally like "Alpha zulu banana" => "I banana coco" => "I banana good" => "I am good". The diffusion does not happen at the output token layer, it happens much earlier at a higher level of abstraction.

Clearly communication is sequential.

LLMs are not more sequential than your vocal chords or your hand writing. They also plan ahead before writing.

But before starting your sentence, you internally formulate the gist of the sentence you're going to say.

Which is exactly what happens in LLMs latent space too before they start outputting the first token.

Also, speaking of the "more free market in the US", my answer is that you don't hate capitalism, you hate crony capitalism.

I keep telling my euro-friends that food and health regulation could potentially be enforced by the free market more effectively than by corruptible government, and this is a perfect example of this.

I'd want to see all products I can buy in there, with all possible chemical, ingredients and nutrients, and clear indications of good/bad, a little bit like in Yuka. You should partner with them maybe even!
