Interesting. OK. I have ADHD and I don't feel anything resembling a "high." If anything, I feel normal and relaxed on stimulants. But it also makes me able to focus and work hard, and I wouldn't have been able to accompl

Do you have ADHD? Maybe you should be using stimulants…

I imagine that it is for either insurance or regulatory reasons. Someone upstream is nervous about the bank relying on a startup for its core infrastructure, and is only placated by knowing that the code is in escrow. They're not thems

But sometimes the pilot followed correct procedure, and the correct procedure was to blame. In those instances the procedure is changed.

Modelica is is in wide use in many industries, just not yours apparently. This is kinda like linking to Java or C++ and then being surprised it doesn’t have a top level intro explaining how to use it.

Often there are national laws that enable preemption of the sale after the auction. Essentially the auction is used to determine fair market value to compensate the owner (who is then paid with taxpayer euros).

Did we read the same emails? The Jobs email felt like a toddler's emotional response, whereas Ed's was thoughtful, considered, while still sufficiently short and to the point.

Whatever else your platform supports. Literally anything else would be better, other than raw assembly. Usually there are some options. Rust is supported (to a degree) on both Linux and Windows. Both macOS and Windows support C++, which if

Isolated individuals, yes. Not whole cultures that would survive in the archeological record.

Every unsolicited sales email is spam. No exceptions. You can tell yourself otherwise, but I will mark it as spam and blackhole all future emails from you. You are playing with fire.

He saw it with his own eyes, making him a primary source. I would say that counts as "being there." As you say, this is a life-transforming event for Pliney the Younger. For him to get the date off by an entire season is quite a s

I'm not a Pompeii expert, but from what I understand Pliny the Younger was there, witnessed the eruption first-hand, and barely survived to tell the tale. Which he did, in a book that has survived to the present day. He gave the date o

Yes, kids are the primary factor here. We moved near their school, on a house lot large enough for us to expand as they get older, on the outskirts of a wealthy neighborhood, but at a price we can afford.

50Mbps of a raw link is is 5MB/s, split into dedicated 4MB/s down and 1MB/s up. That’s a half hour to download a Linux ISO, and only enough upload for 1 video call. It definitely affects work.

I would get dropped from video calls if my wife or kids started downloading something. I’ve managed to fix this with QoS, but there is a noticeable loss of quality. Ultimately we switched to cable internet, but given the bandwidth I use run

Having a good school for the kids, a safe walkable neighborhood, and land where we can put down roots matter more.

I gave up on waiting. I live in Silicon Valley, and was stuck with a 50Mbps DSL line from AT&T. Insane.

I want native widgets.

That seems like more of the same? rsx!{} basically presents a web view API, with CSS-driven layout (or something approximating that). I'm looking for a native widget library that can compile to web technologies when running in the brow

I want a Rust GUI framework or even entire app framework that can target desktop, mobile, and web, but I DON’T want to use web technologies other than when I am actually running within a browser. Is that Dioxus? I can’t tell the answer from

I explained why, but you seem to be attached to an anti-AI belief, so I don't think it is worthwhile to continue further.

Mathematicians, even from prestigious universities, have been wrong before. It's the danger of a discipline that doesn't yet have machine-checkable proofs.

Quantum computers are a direct consequence of quantum mechanics. Just like ropes and pulleys are a direct consequence of newtonian mechanics. If you think that quantum computers won't work, then either (1) all the theorists studying th

People have shown Shor's algorithm for factoring very small numbers, e.g. 15 and 21. That's been shown to work, even if it doesn't feel impressive. There is no reason to expect it won't continue to work as quantum comput

What ChatGPT actually sees when you input that question is the output of the tokenizer: [5299, 1991, 18151, 553, 306, 290, 2195, 392, 491, 33465, 69029] This happens to be 11 tokens, but I think that's a coincidence. Token 491 is &quot

Again, you need to define AGI. According to the classical definition of the term by the people who coined it, the example you gave proves that it is AGI. You were able to specify a problem using a fully generic interface (chat) that the AI
