   It’s not sentimental nonsense: it’s enactive cognition. I believe this is a hugely under appreciated capability of humans, possibly one of the keys to a type of genius.

   I deep dived into chess several months ago, probably on the back of that netflix series (Queen's gambit?). Then you realise, that chess nowadays is purely a memorisation exercise of the first 20 moves you can make, and if you make one

   I certainly wouldn't want a second hand GPU that'd been used for mining; it'd be ragged.

   This guy goes into a bar in Mexico and there’s a dog lying in the corner, every so often the dog whimpers and whines a little. The guy asks the barman “what’s up with that dog?” And the barman said “oh, he’s probably lying on a nail.” After

   Maybe things have changed since I last used it, but the styling was very boilerplatey. I didn't enjoy using it. I really liked Dart, was easy to learn. Is there some sort of template-library/style-system that y'all are using?

   Vitamin B12 is made by bacteria, it's in all dirt, and untreated water. You absorb it through your skin. It's pretty easy to see how it wasn't long ago that we would be having an abundance of vitamin b12 from everywhere. Cows

   Mate, if some other country kills me and all my family and friends, then absolutely fuck them, I'll smash that launch button. Logic, and us all, be damned.

    I initially read this as “ten years of logging: my life” and was disappointed it wasn’t going to be about forestry or timber… I should go outside

    I like crypto, it’s interesting, from a technical perspective. And if you e ever had to send money to a foreign currency and pay exchange rates then sending a bit of crypto is like “huh, so that’s how that should feel”. However, the argumen

    Ask to speak to the data controller; they have to provide you with a copy of all the data they have on you. Once it gets legal things tend to move quicker.

    That started out very powerfully, but the author tried to cram way too many disparate things in there. It lost a lot of steam halfway through; god knows why it turned into a love story. What was the point? All that stuff with crypto? The cr

    I’ll give you it’ll be algo and scale dependent. I work with climate modellers and I think they’d get more bang for their buck with optimising for GPU architectures. I recall I was very excited at the prospect of getting my hands on a ps3

    I’ve read the other replies but I remember well why it failed: only single precision floats. You can’t run physics simulations on single precision. So the people who would have bought and tinkered and pushed it forwards were all turned off

    Sure hints would be good and much appreciated! When you say "our diet doesn't look like a herbivore/fruit eater at all", I see tables like this [1] and it would strongly suggest the opposite. Maybe it's propaganda..
