Thanks for the clarification, I'm looking forward to it's eventual release! =)

How complete is it? I looked at github and came away with the impression it's very much still a work in progress, but you seem to imply it's closer to being complete? Does nrepl work well? Can I just load a relatively arbitrary cl

I would love for you to expand a bit on what you think is missing beyond: - It's for cross discipline teams to be able to unblock each other, communicate and feedback progress and updates. Do you see the teams as temporary? Or longer t

I'm sorry tptacet, some examples come to mind? I was really expecting you to say this doesn't happen, I'm now left wondering why security researcher's are willing to take such risks.

I'm not clear why this is true? > But that's on the end user, no? Pollution is a tragedy of commons scenario, so our best tools for solving it are laws and policy that force behaviour. I'd be surprised if it's complet

Just out of curiosity, having looked at the blurb, I'm left wondering, what do you fill notebooks with? Planning projects and what you want to do? From the description, I'd personally think I could be labelled a scanner, but I&#x2

Firstly I meant conform btw, not confirm... Unfortunately it's too late to edit! > Are our cognitive processes not included in reality? Ah, this may not be productive, but I'm really just trying to tease apart different things.

by Folcon 2y ago
Hmm, I'm not sure if that holds? Just because you use a mechanism for expressing your ideas and reasoning, doesn't mean that underlying reality has to confirm in any way to it? We invent new symbols and terms all the time as we ex

That's fair, it's not supposed to be a rebuttal of that :)... Though now that you said it, I'm really thinking about the original statement. Honest question, can you give me an example of thinking or reasoning that happens fu

To people who claim that "thinking and reasoning require language", here is a problem: Imagine standing at the North Pole of the Earth. Walk in any direction, in a straight line, for 1 km. Now turn 90 degrees to

You might be onto an interesting new view of the web here, if you've ever seen https://www.builtwith.com , something similar that also processes script tags and downweights based on what the script is would also add to this

I would say that in this forum we try to be charitable to each other and it's certainly the way I like to conduct myself. The poster you're replying to has so far merely provided you with an opportunity to clarify or expand on wha

You're sort of missing the point? On that axis it's bad, on the axis of designers and people who value visual tools like that it's productivity and ease of use is off the charts, the number of people who I know jump on and fi

It's in moments like this that I miss the hacker news magazine[0], because I had relatively high certainty that when stories like this popped up, the poster in question would get interviewed and their story would appear in the next edi

I mean nominally that sounds like his preferred experience? I'm similar, I prefer maintaining state with things until I'm done with them, which makes the current models so frustrating, for all Apple talked about skeuomorphism, for

This is fascinating, do you have any more details or things that I could look at to explore this further? Even an actual example would be helpful!

Sure, but there's a sort of nominal expectation that post salaries, especially salaries of that magnitude an entity has some profit. The obvious exception being they had an unprofitable year but have a gigantic pile of money sat in a b

I think you're seriously undervaluing what libraries as an institution provide both as one of the few public spaces where people can just be, without having to spend money to justify their presence, alongside being a resource to access

That is such a helpful insight. I'm always on the lookout for new ways to think about how we process the world, just curious if you're aware of this distinction appearing in something like poetry / music?

Thank you for posting that article, that's the best laugh that I've had in a while! PS: Are there any other articles that he's written that are similarly entertaining?

This is a great idea, I'm beginning to realise that there's a lot wider space for using Anki than I originally expected, people are also using it to sight read music for example. I think I should have another crack at it starting

Huh, memorising songs is interesting, how do you do this? Split it into a set of cards per verse where each card in the set is of a different line hidden? Useful approach of going through a textbook as well thanks! I'll try it. After w

Are there any guides or content or examples that yourself (or anyone else here), who's used Anki not for language learning? For example, learning from books or mathematics? What even is a good progression for creating cards? Only add t

Surely we should expect that to decimate the B2C industry in general? Companies will be chasing fewer "dollars" after all...

Not really, I think it's about that self-narrative, if you find a pathway to telling yourself how something is normal, well then clearly it is. You know how. Before being forced to, the narratives you probably had about someone eating

You seem to have a very individualistic notion of education. Even at the research level we are not independent islands of learning and discovery. People collaborate, some pickup certain concepts better than others and vice versa. So we teac

Isn't that to a degree a function of time? There may be a point when that's not the case, but at present this stuff will run on hardware accessible to a consumer, assuming they're ok waiting a bit.

I do think the arrow keys make it a little easier to aim, would some drag to aim moving left/right and releasing the mouse to go down give a bit more reasonable feeling of the experience? I'm just aware that when you're playi

It is the point of the sim it seems, pushing you to get used to aiming while standing.
