Singapore is the most boring, sterile place I've ever been. I'd take Tokyo, Taipei, or Hong Kong over it in a heartbeat. The entire country reminds me of a mall. William Gibson's 1993 Wired article "Disneyland with the D

I wonder if this might be a preemptive move to stop Google from falling under addictive social media style legislation that would presumably ban infinite scroll.

Okay, thanks a bunch. I work a lot with students studying for the SAT and GRE, and something like this could be very useful for them.

So, another poster cleared up my first question. It's probably because the seed is the same. I think it would have been a better demo if it hadn't been, though.

This is really cool, but I'm left with a lot of questions. Why does the font always generate the same string to replace the exclamation points as he moves from gedit to gimp? Shouldn't the LLM be creating a new "inference&quo

I like the typeface and concept but I found the site somewhat confusing to use. Also, I feel like it should recommend some difficult vocab words for me to check out, based on say a quiz to get a baseline sense of my current vocabulary.

This seems highly speculative to me. Is there any research that suggests what is being described is true?

It's possible that our next generation advances will be made inside, for example, bioengineering. I'm not super well versed on the topic so this is very speculative, but I've read a lot of cool stuff about DNA-based data stor

The Bible, specifically the New Testament, and more specifically，The Gospels. The reason that it's radical is that Christ overturns traditional notions of morality. Greco-Roman thought saw the rich and powerful as close to the divine b

There are hundreds of great ones, but Tale of Genji (classic), The Master of Go (amazing if you like the board game Go), Coin Locker Babies (Ryu Murkami > Haruki Murkami), Out by Natsuo Kirino.

I mean there are actually quite a few public libraries here, but of course the selection is primarily in Thai. I don't know why anyone would expect otherwise.

This is an exaggeration. I also live in Thailand, and I just got a library card at the very stately Neilson Hayes library last week. A bit pricey (3000 THB/year) but amazing ambience since the library was built in 1860.

Sorry but this is utterly pointless. One of the very first sentences I was given was grammatically incorrect ("My name Natalie."). The speaker's voice sounds terrible and robotic. The voice recognition is likewise terrible. T

Does anyone else think the copy and design on this webpage are really 'blah'? "Let's DUO it" is a terrible tagline, haha. I'm not an Apple fan, but they win by miles for stuff like this.
