If anything, it'd be a bias towards spaceplane designs over straight up rockets. As long as the atmospheric density relative to the gravity supports it, offloading some of the acceleration to high atmospheric flight using ram/scramjets can massively reduce the launch vehicle mass (don't need to carry oxidisers for the flight stage).

That being said, it also would be a bias against high orbits and space exploration in general; safe re-entry is tricky enough on earth.

I'm going all-in on transonic fluid dynamics. All the joy of nonlinear acoustics, with a little navier stokes as a treat.

Curating massive music libraries. I've been using a small embedding model to organise my music for DJing, and being able to generate a t-sne plot clustered on perceptual similarity has been wonderfully useful.

I've also found CLIP models useful for searching videos, just embed a screenshot every couple of min of footage and query with a description of the scene.

And as bad as generated subtitles can be, when the only other option is nothing at all they are pretty nice to have.

A little bit of water too, as a treat.

I'll always be thankful that vaping got me off tobacco, and eventually nicotine too. But there's an abyssal gulf between the self assembled, diy vape and self mixed liquid that vaping started at, and the white ox grade addiction pods that vaping has become.

There's absolutely no reason to have the default strength be 50mg/mL, unless optimising for addiction without quite hitting a poisonous dose.

Chugging a quad shot espresso while saying 'get up trinity. Get. Up.' in my head

If you time it right, the anxiety from the caffeine hitting really sells the feeling that a matrix agent is coming to kill you so better get moving.

Topologically speaking, no. This is clearly a sphere.

Makehuman for generating models, unity preview renderer running as an MCP tool, language model reads page instructions for pose info, low frequency noise on pose bones to add micro movements.

Bots have had a workaround for weeks now. Same with browser movement bot detection, just train a behavioural cloning model on human mouse movements, and use that to create mouse trajectories instead of directly moving the cursor to the target position.
