   > Machines are there for people who don’t know what lifts to do and how to do them That’s an overly broad generalization. If you look up pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s home gym, it’s mostly machines.

   They said “browsers” but in reality only Chrome matters. We will go from a duopoly to monopoly.

   I mostly agree with you and that’s why I use a single page with the eight or so apps that I actually use daily. All the rest are in the App Library and I launch them with search. For me, it’s much faster than scrolling and looking for the i

   If the Wikipedia page on Boltzmann brain is accurate, then the probability is surprisingly (but relatively) high. > The Boltzmann brain gained new relevance around 2002, when some cosmologists started to become concerned that, in many th

   Thanks for replying. Maybe I just have a dumb bug in my logic and should take another crack at it.

   How were you storing direction? Was it a symbol for one of NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST, or a symbol for one of FORWARD, LEFT, RIGHT, or a pair of values for row direction and column direction (i.e. +1, 0 or -1, 0 or 0, +1, or 0, -1)?

   Off topic, but tangentially related: I was trying to use a modified Dijkstra / A* algorithm for this year’s Advent of Code Day 17 problem: https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/17 I never got the right answer tho

   You can’t even be certain that you aren’t a Boltzmann brain. If you could prove it (either way), it would be a publishable paper and could probably be the basis of a PhD for yourself.

    I wonder how that compares to the odds of all the things that had to happen in order for you and I to exist and be here, today, thinking about this?

    Mann holds a trademark on “Inbox Zero”. He’s likely involved in some way.

    Nothing. I believe she probably got her job based on her qualifications and connections. That's why I have such a hard time understanding her poor performance while testifying.

    What brought Gay to my attention was her testimony in front of Congress. What I couldn’t understand was how she and a couple other university leaders who testified were so awful at answering the questions. I’m still baffled by that because

    I wonder if the author would say reading code is the same thing as reading prose?

    It doesn’t require either of those things. I’ve been doing it this year and I’m on day 17 I think. I probably won’t finish it until the end of January. I looked at the leaderboard one day there were a lot of people who finished the problem

    I bought an Analogue Pocket and installed a bunch of emulators and games from archive.org. Gameboy Tetris is great (I bought a cartridge from EBay) but for me, that’s the exception. I’ve tried a handful of the other games and came to realiz

    Ethical? Say you launch a product that uses cloud services (ie servers and storage). If I reverse engineer your protocol and launch my own (paid) product on top of your service, is it unethical for you to shut me down? Isn’t it also unethic

    I would imagine it depends on individual contracts. If they’ve sold those rights, then no.

    If I had a product I sold that involved cloud resources I certainly wouldn’t like the idea that anybody who can reverse engineer my protocol should be able to build and sell a product built on that infrastructure without permission or payme

    Places like that definitely exist. For that vintage feel, Third Man Records in Nashville has a booth that anybody can use to record a 2 minute record. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e1Rwk1kpLM

    I've been wondering the same thing. Could Apple ask the DOJ (or whomever would be appropriate) to go after Beeper with the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)? To my uneducated eyes, this looks like a pretty clear case of Beeper access

    I don't think that's generally true. A recent example: the WGA just ended a strike against the movie and television studios and from what I've read about it, the resolution was not determined by the loudest minority. A deal w
