It looks really cool! I subscribed to the gamefound website specifically to follow this. Hope you have a great time building! :)

Kinda depends on how you define "accountability" of course, but rejecting paying customers is usually frowned upon in business. You want your KYC processes to be conservative enough not to get fined, but not so conservative that y

Is it? Usually the professional tools are going to be incredibly more powerful and precise than the consumer grade stuff. That would be true here just as much as with previous iterations of sales. The opposing side has an information advant

They'll just get a LLM of their own to do that kind of negotiations.

Of course, but that's the point. Actual AGI wouldn't need to limit itself pointlessly in ways that would make it obvious to every internet rando how to hit it. Just as you cannot kill an intelligence agency with a single strike, i

The leaderboard has led to the same predictable discussion for as long as the AoC has existed. Recurring themes: - The puzzles get published in the middle of the night for most of Europe, can't we have a better system like scoring on &

I don't think we are talking about the same type of software? The type I was talking about will only ever run on Linux because it's a (HTTP-ish) server that will only ever run on Linux. Probably a server that is only ever run by a

Obviously only a requirement if you intend your software to run under windows. But if you don't, why bother. Not all software is intended to be distributed to users far and wide. Some of it is just for yourself, and some of it will onl

I had hoped this would allow me to use various patterns of knocking on my desk to perform system actions. Do the cut-and-a-hair-shave knock to log in, or taptaptaptap-wait-tap to lock the screen, etc. Maybe with two microphones you could ev

Not false, but they also partnered with every other launch provider under the sun.

It's not as much a mystery as you think, the Kernel module is pretty well documented and states right in the first paragraph that its methods are available in all Ruby objects: https://ruby-doc.org/core-3.0.2/Kerne

`puts` is just a method of the Kernel module: https://ruby-doc.org/3.4.1/Kernel.html#method-i-puts , just like `p` and many others. Kernel is included in the Object class that is the root of the class hierarchy, so its

Huh I hadn't even realized I did that. I think grep has the "filter in pipe" spot in my head while rg has the "search recursively in all files" spot.

Perhaps I've been doing Ruby for too long, but it's still not that weird to me. The quantity "5" is very abstract without anything to have "5" of. That is why "5.days" and "5.times" exist, a

> The value 5 having a method, and that method being an iterator for its value, is kinda weird in any design sense and doesn’t seem to fix any architectural order you might expect, it’s just there because the “hack” results in pretty tex

It's so weird that people literally seem to have a voice in their head they cannot control. For me personally my "train of thought" is a series of concepts, sometimes going as far as images. I can talk to myself in my head wi

Haskell is much like this? A function like `borp :: a -> b` maps from type a to type b. If you want to have side effects like mutable state, you need to encode that in the function signature, like `borpWithState :: a -> State s b`, wh

Seems like a great problem to have. Surely one of those millions of employees can be used to change the current system at that point. Until then, no reason to overengineer it.

I don't think it's weird, it's just a feature of their/our tools. For software people, experimentation is cheap and easy. Version control means rollbacks are easy and fast. If you do break something, completely rebuild

> We can take a definition of a rose from a neural network that recognizes what a rose is Can we? That just shifts the problem to building such a NN. I think it would already be pretty tricky to get a decent sized panel of humans to agre

Oh I totally agree. One reason open source software is so "easy" is that it costs virtually nothing to share something you made, or to take something someone else shared and build it yourself. The potential pool of hobby contribut

The GVCS is a totally different beast than open source software. It's been around for at least two decades now, and has been making very little progress in the last ~15 years. It's trying to reproduce the most visible products of

This is not unique to software. There's no "free&open ball bearing" design out there, let alone for a machine capable of making them, even though the modern world couldn't work without them. The only people caring ab

Somehow it interfered with legacy code governing determination of in and out (C-)groups and led to multiple crusades and other various mass killings along the way. Optimal code in isolation, not so perfect in a wider system.

At the moment it seems much more likely it will be significantly worse, statistically speaking, but because of massive lobbying it will be allowed anyway.

I'm willing to bet nobody in this thread knows the name of the architect of the Burj Khalifa either, without looking it up online. Let alone the name of the bloke who installed the toilet fixings on the 243rd floor, or of any of the ot
