i'm excited to try this - i'm finding that often when claude struggles with something i asked for, it'll often just quietly modify the tests to avoid having to actually solve the problem. which is especially annoying if i left it alone for a while hoping to come back to my problem being solved, and it actually just took a shortcut and quit. i'm hoping vet help can help provide some discipline lol.
Refrigerators actually have greater than 100% efficiency, often like 300% or so. Because you're just moving the heat, not creating it. Sounds like magic but it's not.
Yes - this is how impossible foods makes the heme protein which is central to their burger tasting "meaty". There are tons of startups working on this for other food products, but it's well established in other industries. Many pharmaceuticals are produced via synthetic biology, for example.
And xanthan gum, another example of this general process (perhaps without the "programming"), has been around since the 1960s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthan_gum
I have been working with the Sawyer arm for the past few months and it's a really nice piece of hardware - far better than the Universal Robots arms that it competes with, while being a similar price. The software is also far ahead of the crappy 2000's era interface of the UR arms, and they have a nice ROS-integrated SDK for people who want to go farther with it. I was really disappointed to see them shut down as we were hoping to buy several more in the next few months.
