At first I thought, OK, they’re letting us focus on storytelling—role playing! I too have a romance for the gnarly mechanics (love 2e) but it’s the collapsing of richness in the worlds and characters that dismays me. Now it’s clear we’re ma

The second book is markedly worse. Maybe it redeems itself in the end? I chucked it 2/3 of the way through. I do appreciate being introduced to the dark forest hypothesis. Maybe it’s the translation but Liu Cixin’s characterisations

I’m not sure it’s so obvious that spamblockers owe spammers an explanation.

No matter how circumspect Freddie’s positioning here, this still amounts to a middle aged dude resenting kids making light of him. It’s not necessarily so terrible that folks some rungs down the ladder have the chutzpah to call out missteps

It’s not about money - it’s power, and shaping the future. It’s not a matter of getting some amount of money…it’s choosing when you step back from the game and cede the future to your rivals.

There’s no guarantee the detail will be stable frame-to-frame. You’d almost surely get textures stuttering and winking in and out of existence.

There’s not a ton. Everspace 1 is a lot of fun, too, and not in early access. Freelancer and Freespace 2 will give you more of that sweet Wing Commander action. Star Wars Squadrons is OK.

Here’s what you’ve never understood: the principle of judging folks accomplishments while taking into account their opportunities. No one thinks everyone is the same. But not all SAT scores are created equal.

Even if your DOM is obfuscated, the rendered page remains vulnerable to OCR. Obfuscate the rendered pixels and you’ll annoy your humans and eventually find that the scrapers’ OCR is superhuman. Still, maybe AI comes into it. Maybe poisonin

Mechanical hard drives that lived in pockets and backpacks inevitably died. People seem to have been happy with the lifespan they got, though.

A recent study suggests Chicago drivers earn less than minimum wage. > After accounting for driving expenses and self-employment taxes, the average TNP driver in Chicago earns about 3% to 5% less than minimum wage. In 2019, drivers earne

Most founders never draw a salary. Funding yourself amounts to spending money, not earning it. Starting a business with no investment or cash flow is a huge risk at odds with the security of providing for a family. Getting a mortgage on a

Of course it has. Spending a today chatting with folks as you walk through 60 demos vs a webpage that lists 400? Fortunately the demo day isn’t the totality of YC’s value, as e article notes

The individual guidelines are good, but the motivating context is missing a crucial ingredient: genuine curiosity. Reading to tick the box of having read something is a tough sell to convince your memory to weave the new knowledge in useful

> You can't have the good without the bad This is not a rational claim. Yes, you certainly can have the good without the bad. The existence of a process doesn't imply its brokenness.

I can't agree with respect to Lex Fridman, who began humbly hosting the MIT AI Podcast until he saw a payday by riding AI hype to being a techno-Joe Rogan. Like who you want to like, but "irrefutably...sincer[e]" does not app

The Real Book is a great and weird learning tool. It's a rite of passage in jazz education to realise that your favorite tune isn't actually how it was written in the Real Book. Miles Davis didn't get it wrong -- the Real B

Good question! I wish people asked more often because so few here know the answer. The “fluff” establishes tone. The correct tone builds and reinforces a relationship. In contrast, a “clear and concise” response with no “fluff” is just as l

Yea, there’s definitely been a decline. Conspicuous injection of Lex talking about himself, poetry/love, and (sigh) cancel culture. All feels awfully Joe Rogan-wannabe-ish. The MIT AI podcast => AI podcast => Lex Podcast worked o
