This comment reeks of liberalism and illustrates why liberalism doesn’t work. You claim you’re trying to balance individualism and collectivism but don’t actually support things that make collectivism work so you end up de facto supporting

Clearly that’s not what I meant, and you seem to have figured that out yourself. I meant the common good of society. The greater good, if that makes more sense.

It would make a huge difference though. Cheaper housing would mean more people could walk away from shitty jobs with low risk of ending up homeless. This increases the power of the labor class and would hopefully lead to better working cond

When it comes to collective action, people will exhaust every option except the one where they work together for the common good.

I really like Gwern’s definition of intelligence which is “search over Turing machines”. In other words, searching for the right program given some goal.

Of all the examples of crazy Rust code you could have picked, you chose that one? Is adding ‘a really too much for you?

Thanks! This was years ago so thankfully I’m well past it.

It’s also a pleasant language to work in. I love that everything is an expression, I love match statements, I love that structs and enums are full powered, etc.

I really hope so. I went through a bout of cronic fatigue after a nose surgery that lasted ~4 months and it was utter hell. It really feels like the life has been drained from your body and on top of that, random things go wrong with your b

That’s why I wonder if a planetary government is inevitable sometime in the future. We can’t address species-wide issues if we’re constantly worried about competition, and if market forces aren’t going to work then the only other solution I

You don't have to do that in the html if you don't want to. You can easily assign those operations to a variable then insert the variable into the html.

I think you’re making a mistake assuming AI is similar to past automation. Sure in the short term, it might be comparable but long term AI is the ultimate automation.

It seems like there are other comments that have the same amount of substance as mine, yet it looks like mine was the only one that was flagged.

I'm getting really tired of hearing about OpenAI "evolving".

Your reading of my point is very strange. When I said “best practices” I clearly meant the most commonly repeated best practices. If I cast doubt on those best practices then clearly I intend to replace them with other best practices that I

This feels sarcastic but in reality ever since react switch to using hooks I’ve largely written the same style of react code for years. You don’t have to live on the edge.

by CooCooCaCha 1y ago
I’ve been saying this for a long time. It takes very little effort to spin up a react app so there’s little point in starting a project without it or whatever front-end framework you prefer. As I’ve become more senior I’ve realized that sof

My experience is the opposite. Plenty of intellectual stimulation comes from actually making the game. Designing and refining gameplay mechanics, level design, writing shaders, etc. What really drags you down in games is iteration speed. It

We're currently going backwards in terms of progress and you're worried about going too far forward too quickly.

What I find so incredibly frustrating about comments like this is the assumption that this is how it has to be. Human liberation is a bad idea because you had a bad experience during sabbatical and that’s the way it has to be. People and

This is why I think philosophy has become another form of semi-religious kookery. You haven't provided any actual proof or logical reason for why a computer couldn't be intelligent. If randomness is required then sample randomness

Dice are considered "biased" if not all sides have equal probability, even if that's literally true. When you look up the definition of bias you see "prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared

Truth isn't fair because reality isn't fair. Dice are considered "biased" if not all sides have equal probability, even though that's the "truth" of the die.

by CooCooCaCha 2y ago
There is no rhetoric here, it’s just literal truth. There is no implication of equivalence or any statement about the value of objective truth. Any position is a bias. A flat earther would consider a round-earther biased. That doesn’t make

Any option you choose is biased relative to the option(s) you didn’t choose. There doesn’t have to be an objective baseline. Someone might say they are biased towards the color orange and that means they have a preference relative to all th

Yeah truth itself is a bias. The idea of being unbiased doesn’t make sense.

Politics is decision making in groups. Every group of people is a political unit and anything that affects decision making is political. Your office is a political unit, your family is a political unit, etc. So if a racial issue is affectin

This is exactly why I find the language unintuitive. I don't understand why they made the choices they made. For example, why curly brackets? I find the rust equivalent much more intuitive `let a: [i32; 3] = [1, 2, 3];`
