I always wondered how Zach felt about missing what’s arguably the biggest game industry boat of all time: his ideas in Infiniminer being the basis for Minecraft. In the early days the games looked almost identical. But one never became a ho

“One just convinced a Google QA engineer to the point he broke his NDA to try and be a whistleblower on its behalf.” This is spot on. The danger is not from the AI themselves. The danger is from people’s reactions to the AI’s. I remember se

I have enjoyed this exchange about as much as the original link. Bravo

This is a great point. You have to consider directed versus serendipitous need. Most advanced careers are being invented at a rapid pace, and also roles change. We have no idea what math an engineer in 2030 will need to know every day. I ha

I agree, this is definitely not cheating. This is interview preparation. When I prepared for my FAANG interviews I googled so many questions that I couldn’t find another blue link, they were all purple. I prepped for them all. The more you

It’s not that simple though, the study states that replacing the filters removes large endotoxins, but not small ones. The small ones are still present

A few thoughts from a person who used to feel like this, and is now in their 30’s, having done everything from startups to big tech companies, and now feels super happy with their career: 1) great job for posting and seeking help! By doing

Hundreds of millions of people simply don’t have them. They aren’t free and they get holes in them over time

My theory is it’s because people respond emotionally to drama but not numbers. A shark attack, a plane crash, and an explosion are all much more dramatic but less deadly. What would the dramatic terror scene be? Someone swiping away a mosqu

I was an exchange student in rural Japan in the early 2000’s and I think that was the final moment you could see the world like this. There were no smartphones yet or ubiquitous internet. I had some guide books but they were very general. M

By ad supported I just mean that if you aren’t creating enough value for enough people to pay, you may be able to get money from ads. But if the site is growing in revenue consistently that’s great!

Hi there, paid lofi.co member here (I joined to try it out). First off thanks for making this site. I am super into Lofi, listen to it every single day, make my own playlists, have lofi merch, etc. As much as I love lofi, I agree with the o

People have such a hard time with the concept of a trade-off. Life is not a video game where there is an optimal single answer for everyone every time. It’s complicated, especially with something like biology. So place your bets: do you wan

I think inventing Generative Adversarial Networks, which enable everything from Alexa to GPT-3 to DALL-E to thousands of other models we use today, is pretty visionary to the field of ML. I’m sure you have some nitpick but I don’t think it

The simple answer is machine learning algorithms. AI are very effective at this, it is the same thing at YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok. They will optimize to get you to want to come back

Great roundup. AI are great at technical optimization problems (for example, reducing the usage of electricity in a data center). For creative and subjective works, it seems like a machine-human hybrid model will be the way to go for the ne

Beyond methane and climate change, this is a lovely step through of simply grappling with a new concept to understand it, one site/paper at a time. I wish I could teach my parents how to do this, they never get beyond the first page

It’s definitely a tradeoff. I personally have gone through alternate phases where I wanted to be responsible for a huge piece of a small pie (startup) versus a tiny tiny piece of a huge pie (big company). There are pros and cons to both. T

As a game developer I’ve always been saddened by the ephemeral nature of games. It seems impossible to make a game that would last 20, 50, 100 years. Books, paintings, even movies have such an advantage

This is frustrating. I’ve been on both sides of it, what’s happening is that the team is likely juggling thousands of bugs in similar or greater severity, as well as their roadmap for new features. Some things just get deprioritzed over and

Have you tried https://aidungeon.io/ ? It creates novel events with GPT-3. I'm sure some gamedev will add DALL-E for visuals to a game eventually.

I think it’s vitally important to distinguish between skills you do for fun and skills that earn you a living. For job skills to earn a living, you should definitely be paying attention and adjusting in order to future proof. Learn skills t

I agree. I could not be more blown away if a real UFO landed and aliens introduced themselves. A week ago all of this was impossible.

I think this is the hard part. How do you engage in good faith when everyone else seems to be engaging in bad faith tactics? How can you be open to changing your mind when no one else is open to changing theirs? Seems like you immediately l
