Oh please YES, the "not worth it", followed by an option to "please take me back to previous path before (because) latest fork = mistake". The very idea of judging the overall travel is a good start (at the end, when the

You'd probably end with significantly different results based on country. Somehow the underlying logic of mapping AI seems to be more-or-less of a fit for national road systems — for instance in Europe, with lots of discrepancies betwe

Can't agree more with your first paragraph. 1, 2, 6, 11 should be no-brainers if people were educated IMHO — but this is 1920 relative to electricity or cars; still a long way to go before the mainsteam masses get it (which very much

More specifically, Apple never made it good enough compared to alternatives, so no one used it. It eventually died at the hands of its maker.

I really enjoyed season 3 of this podcast (which was about the history of programming languages), so I thought I'd share as season 4 is just starting. First episode is roughly following the book The Soul of a New Machine by Tracy Kid

"trackcmp.net" keeps breaking navigation for me on roamresearch.com, and that tracker is not even https (classic unsafe warnings from Chrome). Weird. Unfortunately, that makes the whole thing look shady, and I can't even get

I only skimmed through and the combined breadth + intent of your projects seems very, very interesting — I mean it speaks to me. So, way to go! Mad props, please keep it up! If you ask me, this is the shape of things to come.

Oh I totally agree. Thanks for clarifying this point! I honestly didn't mean to say that you would choose to land of sea if you had any alternative... just that if you must, it's a last resort. The main argument was really about n

I went a different way and bought a 42" 4K display¹ (that's roughly the same PPI as 27" @1440p, so 100% zoom on Windows or Linux is just fine, no UI scaling nonsense). So basically I have 42 inches (107 cm) worth of diagonal

I honestly think this is what I love in sci-fi, some space opera most notably: whereas most stories are usually told in terms of space and time, sci-fi sometimes speaks in terms of scale, of orders of magnitudes — because space (I mean the

Since this is coming from a physicist / mathematician, I immediately assumed it meant the placeholder for those — i.e. whatever conveys gravity, all of it must hold that many bits to describe the observable universe.

The associated concept in regulation is a certification (by plane model, e.g. for all Airbus A321) called ETOPS¹ (Extended Operations). The cert applies to twin engines and basically tells you that a plane can fly up to XXX minutes on 1 fun

I think you'd indeed have to look at more demanding applications, more "bleeding edge" stuff computationally: 3D gaming is probably as good a candidate as ever, maybe some in-app AI workflows, idk. Truth is, I know how to bri

Question: how much would it cost Boeing if the 737 MAX was never allowed to fly again? Could it bring them down, on the brink of bankrupcy, or is it something they could stomach?

This is one of the most important empirical "truth" I've heard, now from several prominent people in the field¹. You are, in effect, prioritizing (self-)discipline over short-term performance, learning or productivity gains.

May we go on a short tangent about a word and its associated feeling? I submit to you that you don't sound jealous , because it really doesn't fit the rest of what you express; I suggest that you are maybe "envious¹" in
