I don't know, I got Lasek surgery, and had to go through about the same amount of time blindfolded. I did have to take the blindfold off 1 sec to open my door, but it's not something you want to do as it's pretty painful to o

I am writing a screenplay. A comedy. The bad guy is inspired by Sam Altman. I don't know if it qualifies as cool, but I'm more excited than when I was working on BI tools.

Well that's your view, but we keep seeing incredible progress year on year. Noone thought beating the game of Go was feasible. Noone thought self-driving cars would actually work. Noone predicted ChatGPT. See where we're at now wi

It sounds like if you don't do anything with these, it'll be a thorn in your side for a while. I've been in the same place. My advice: pick one, try and release it as a paid product. You'll face what people mean when the

There are two use cases that work for me: 1. Complete tedious / repetitive code 2. Help with new/rarely used things. For instance, I'd ask it: write a function that fetches the price of the Apple stock from Bloomberg for the

The complexity of the vocabulary is interesting. I wonder if OpenAi tried to dial up the “creativity” of the model.

Zika may also have oncologic effect on glioblastoma (most common and deadly brain cancer). If I had glioblastoma, the first thing I’d do is visit a zika infested area. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1

I don't know how to articulate it, but I could never do anything like this. The ability to organize one's life like this is so foreign to me, it's almost like he's describing what it's like to be an octopus. I think

Replacing a paper would be just like opening a new browser tab. A virtual book can’t give you the same level of interaction as a physical one. Virtual interaction are clunky at best.

What do you mean I can have this in real life? I am talking about having a bunch of paper sheets, each being its own small screen.

I just had an idea. I was somewhat intrigued by why people would recreate the same kind of setup in AR with monitor screens. Ok you get more of them, but at some point more screens is just distracting. What if instead this was the occasion

F-Zero was fun, I spent a lot of time on it. I really liked to find shortcuts by boosting just before a jump and trying to land on a completely different part of the track. But it was so annoying that you couldn’t outrun other opponents. Yo

I work in finance and know a bunch of people who made more than 10 million a year for a while, and they all tell you exactly that: very quickly, you have way more than what you'll ever need, and having more money has zero impact on you
