The scale they operate at makes the billions, bucks. As a board member, I'd rather see a billion-dollar bubble test than a trillion-dollar mistake.

I don't want to come across as a shill, but I think superintelligence is being used here because the end result is murky and ill-defined at this point. I think the concept is like: "a tool that has the utility of a 'personal

Yup. I agree with you. We're finally reaching the point where it's cost-prohibitive to sweep this fact under the rug with scaling out data centers and refreshing version numbers to clear contexts.

The article got me thinking that there's some sort of bottle neck that makes scaling astronomical or the value just not really there. 1. Buy up top talent from other's working in this space 2. See what they produce over say, 6mo.

I'd rather pay $0 to n people if all they're going to do is make vibe-coded dogshit that spins it's wheels and loses context all the time.

Absolutely. The unique flavor the admins of your server added were something completely special. As an aside. I always appreciated the street justice the admins would sometime enact. Running through the level with invincibility and godlike

You can set the doctype in the document to the spec you want to use, which is basically what you're asking for. Try setting <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

Compare webkit to UDK (The unreal development kit for game dev) to consider why there is so much bloat in the browser. People have wanted to render more and more advanced things, and the webkit engine should cater to all of them as best it

I had to look up what XSLT was (began working professionally as a programmer in 2013). Honestly, if it simplifies the spec, at this point it seems like a good idea to remove it. XSLT came across as a little esoteric.

The mind likes to wander to "what if death ray?" but the real, boring answer is probably that money === yams, and those who have the yams have the power. The array provides paying customers who bolster the war chest, and maybe dow

It's such a young person thing to believe the adrenaline of pushing against the envelope is a better feeling than the endorphins of expressing appropriate emotion. I'm sure they'll learn this when they come of age. Life can b

It's weird, in one comment you say you only care about the deceased "person in the casket," and here you mention the respect of friends (who are presumably living) as important. It sounds to me like you might be a younger per

Humans are societal creatures. That avoidance as self-preservation can be considered a weak trait. Society only really works if we know we have each other's backs when the chips are down, so with you abandoning situations when the chip
