Realizing how supposedly “easy” you have it compared to other people is not as encouraging or motivational as you’re implying it is. And how “easy” do you have it if you can’t find a job in your field?

You seem to keep having to add more and more qualifiers to your statements…

This “compare it to other professions” thing doesn’t really work when those other professions are not the one you actually do. The idea that someone should never be miserable in their job because other more miserable jobs exist is not real

This is true but it’s important to still blame the humans making specific harmful decisions as well.

I agree, but I think you’re misunderstanding my comment. I was replying to a snarky comment that seemed to imply that the effect of taking amphetamines is obvious and mundane. The point I was trying to make is that the effect on someone wit

This seems a little snarky. For someone with ADHD it’s not as much about “increased” productivity but rather non-zero productivity.

OpenSCAD is great, I’ve made some very complex stuff in it that would be hard to make even in professional tools like Fusion. For some reason the main OpenSCAD releases don’t seem to get updated (the current version on the site is 2021.x).

Rust is not garbage collected though.

Yup, this was my career path as well. I worked professionally as a Flash developer for many years but gradually that became more of an iOS developer role and I made games using Cocos2D etc.

This take doesn’t make sense unless you’re comparing Flash to current technology, rather than the tech of its time. It’s like saying CD players were awful: sure they’re awful NOW, but they had a time and a place when they were the coolest t

They’re only supply constrained on the chips themselves. Selling fully integrated racks allows them to get even more money per chip.

I’ve gotta say I’m almost impressed at how callous this response to the story is.

Right? This was my first thought too.

I don't see any reason to think it's that far off. It's incredibly popular. Wikipedia has it listed as the 5th most popular website in the world. The ChatGPT app has had many months where it was the most downloaded app on bot

I don't think this is true. ChatGPT has 800 million active weekly users.

It’s magical thinking to think it won’t! We already have one example of it being possible (in humans). Unless you think humans have a “soul” or some other intangible element, then there’s no reason they can’t be emulated.

Hah well one tip would be do NOT make a complex framing/structure for your daily puzzle game like we did with Kickoff League. It was a fun experiment but it mostly just confused people. A more meta tip is if you make multiple games, tr

I just released https://fivefold.ca It’s a daily logic puzzle game where the rules change every day. If you like sudoku but want a bit more variety, you’ll probably enjoy this!

by MattRix 11mo ago
This is really well made! As someone who has built daily puzzle games (ex. sidewords.ca, kickoffleague.com, and just today fivefold.ca), I appreciate the effort it takes to make something that polished! It plays really well on mobile, which

These are all just stopgaps, this tech is still in its infancy. If it keeps improving, it will reach a point where it can implement complex things from simple prompts, the way that talented programmers can. I’m not a fan of a lot of this AI

That mipmaps thing is an interesting idea!

Isn’t that the point of trying to define it in a more rigorous way, like this paper is doing?

Seconding this. Once you’ve seen the original image once, you don’t need to see it each time. The idea of syncing the sliders in the current group is a clever solution.

If you know how sarcasm works, that’s exactly what it looks like. Afterwards he immediately pondered the question and then gave his real answer (about looking forward to having a kid). Besides all that, think about it: if this wasn’t a joke

That was a joke, how do people not understand that?

Sam Altman never said that, except as a joke. An interviewer asked “what are you excited for in 2025” and he said “AGI”, then said “having a kid” as his real answer. It’s also worth noting that even when he does talk about AGI, he makes a s
