@LawrenceWongST Would be really cool to have a Singapore owned launch site though. Maybe off shore platform or new reclaimed land on the furthest island.

Transforming human knowledge, sensors and actuators from human-first and human-legible to LLM-first and LLM-legible is a beautiful space with so much potential and so much can be done...

One example I'm obsessed with recently - for every textbook pdf/epub, there is a perfect "LLMification" of it intended not for human but for an LLM (though it is a non-trivial transformation that would need human in the loop involvement).

- All of the exposition is extracted into a markdown document, including all latex, styling (bold/italic), tables, lists, etc. All of the figures are extracted as images.
- All worked problems get extracted into SFT examples. Any referenced made to previous figures/tables/etc. are parsed and included.
- All practice problems are extracted into environment examples for RL. The correct answers are located in the answer key and attached. Any additional information is added as "answer key" for a potential LLM judge.
- Synthetic data expansion. For every specific problem, you can create an infinite problem generator, which emits problems of that type. For example, if a problem is "What is the angle between the hour and minute hands at 9am?" , you can imagine generalizing that to any arbitrary time and calculating answers using Python code, and possibly generating synthetic variations of the prompt text.
- All of the data above could be nicely indexed and embedded into a RAG database for later reference, or maybe MCP servers that make it available.

Then just as a (human) student could take a high school physics course, an LLM could take it in the exact same way. This would be a significantly richer source of legible, workable information for an LLM than just something like pdf-to-text (current prevailing practice), which simply asks the LLM to predict the textbook content top to bottom token by token (umm - lame).

As just a quick and crappy example of synthetic variations of the above example, GPT-5 gave me this problem generator (see image), which can now generalize that problem template to many variations:

- When the time is 11:07 a.m., what is the degree measure of the angle between the hands? (Answer: 68)
- Determine the angle in degrees between the clock’s hands at 4:14 a.m.. (Answer: 43)
- What angle do the clock hands form when the time reads 11:47 a.m.? (Answer: 71)
- At 7:02 a.m., what angle separates the hour hand and the minute hand? (Answer: 161)
- At 4:14 a.m., calculate the angle made between the two hands. (Answer: 43)
- What angle is formed by the hands of a clock at 4:45 p.m.? (Answer: 127)
- What is the angle between the hour and minute hands at 8:37 p.m.? (Answer: 36)
(infinite practice problems can be created...)

@cedric_chee Well. If you read qwen answer, it’s clearly rubbish. It didn’t understand the puzzle.

@sambommakanti @GlobeEyeNews @grok China actually can manufacture their own aircrafts. C919

@ExposeDarkDeeds @rawsalerts @GlobalPressCorp It depends on the content of the bet. It is fair if the odds of the bet is heavily in RAWS favor

@Bacchus65249447 @papyruski @Aella_Girl AI can actuate tools and manipulate people to do their biddings. Especially if AI has access to money. (Which they already do in the form of Cryptocurrency APIs)

@AutocodeHQ @keithwhor Congrats on the launch @keithwhor ! I just saw it on VueJS docs home page.

@nicklovescode @eigenrobot I wonder if the AI would be better at math if you told it to show it's work

@maraoz It is okay if we suggest new prompts through github issues?

[Max Xu @xumx]

@_tharkuri @accidentlwriter Can you give me the code that your friend gave you? 🙏

@jasonfried Shut up and take my money. Finally a cure for my 5 digit unread emails. I need an invite! Please!!!

@TheView Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

If you teach a robot to fish, do you now give the man fish for a lifetime or does the man starve?
