I just skip showering the next day. But yeah, it's more like the cost of being poor man's sous vide.

My poor man's sous vide is filling a really big pot with water and heating it up to a specific temperature. There's so much volume it doesn't cool down significantly by the food during cooking time. I put my piece of meat in

Yeah, but that's an anecdotal asshole anomaly and drawing a general conclusion from it is nonsense.

The text is unreadable anyway. From what I gathered I think it's missing the point, which is that pizza parties are for social bonding. You don't get that by handing out $20 to the employees.

I interpreted the joke being that a mnemotechnic is like a river, poetry flowing, so you won't find one for knowledge that is already concisely formulated, like a small island.

This is about sparse representation. Jeff Hawkins et al. at Numenta have been talking about this, and Pentti Kanerva's algebra is actually quite neat. There are videos about it on Youtube if you search on his name.

Totally. All I want is an easier time navigating code; not getting lost in tabs and page scrolling, nested class structures and function references, interrupted by context-switching text searches. It feels like I spend 75% of my brain capac

Do you have a reference for this? Never heard that particular framing about the narrative voice before. You call it a versatile simplicity, but to me it sounds rather restrictive and specific, to be honest.

My point was also this, that the theo-philosophical idea shaped the artistic choice.

I'm not saying they should have known better. You're probably right that technological limitations played a part. On the other hand it doesn't require a microscope to see that a baby is born with different proportions than an

The similarities between ontogeny and phylogeny is well-known in modern biology. I wonder how the belief in a Creator in earlier times influenced the seemingly prevalent idea that humans come pre-conceived like monads in the womb and then s

Is that a reference to something?

Is there an efficient method of iterating this so that it converges to the mean? I can think of ways that would include storing the previous iterations...

Seems like it could be generalized to something more like a base 5 where the positions are rotated.

It's interesting that the article mentions Kosher rules as if abiding by them is trivial and as if the practice isn't ridden with gray areas.

Good for them. I'm glad such a personal lifetime project and piece of art can sustain in these cynical times.

Treating 'u' and 'n' as symmetric is a bit cheating. Luckily, they are also rotationally symmetric words, like 'snus' and 'pod'.

You can make the transition, there's demand for all kinds of roles along the spectrum, likely in different companies though. Start working closely with the ML team as a SWE would be a start, then take over some of the pipelining stuff,

I've come to appreciate body-awareness as I've gotten older. I suppose it's a bit of a chicken-egg scenario for "nerds" (humor me here), where somewhat poorer motor skills turns into a dismissal of development in th

Going all secular feels a bit passé, but granted that move, and the move of renewal, the Möbius strip hits the marks.

I followed that project and it's part of the reason I'm asking. If one guy can achieve that...

I don't doubt there are compromises being made. I guess I'm just a bit surprised that immersion via realistic physics isn't in higher (and competing) demand. It also seems to me there could be a lot of interesting gameplay me

What are some games that have impressive physics nowadays? I remember being very impressed with Half-Life 2 back in the day, seemed like a leap. All spectacular looking games with crude physics nowadays remind me of those hi-res ports of ol

I like this too and I don't understand the downvotes. It says a lot about the philosophy of the project. Minimalist, bold, brutalist, no-frills first principles thinking. For better and worse.

Paul Graham's book Hackers & Painters resonated with me as a teenager, more specifically what he wrote about how code is like paint, or clay. Writing software is like writing essays: you make drafts, iterate, kill your darlings, an

Doing job interviews gives you perspective and is an effective way of getting out of your comfort zone. You might even learn something about management in other places which could be immediately helpful for you and your current employer.

I learned how to code when I was twelve. I wouldn't have if I didn't in some degree enjoy the actual act of coding, the moment to moment typing on the keyboard, composing algorithms, designing data structures and logical flows. Bu

I like the flashing colors. It reflects the cathartic pain in reaching a goal and it encourages the impulse to move on.

Art is fundamentally social perhaps in the way metaphysics and philosophy is too. Perhaps it's very true, but it's a distasteful framing in my opinion.
