Do you have a blog or something where you talk about that work? I'd absolutely love to read more about it. Theory of game design is one of my favorite topics.

Personally? I'd target the musicians. But I personally find more value in working with creatives than people with money to throw away.

It also steps right over easy optimizations. I was doing a query on some github data (tedious work) and rather than preliminarily filter down using the graphql search method, it wanted to comb through all PRs individually. This seems like s

You and the other commenter: "Uhm AKSHUALLY" is alive and well and still in common use. I'm not talking about a dead meme here.

Is this really some new "trend"? Didn't we define this pretty funnily and sarcastically with "AKSHUALLY" like 15 years ago?

Didn't we _not_ let industries fail during that time? How about the Big 3 bailouts and the emergency infusions for banks? And these actions decidedly helped save our economy. Whether it's good from a moral perspective or a long te

I'm not sure that math makes sense over the long run. Sure, at first you scaffold together an app from scratch, but I suspect over time, the LLM's capability of maintaining it precipitously drops. At some point, you will like reac

Have some conviction. If you're doing something because you believe in it or love it, then why worry about what others think? Die without regrets.

I've been sick so often now (thanks kids) that I can feel _immediately_ when something is coming on. Rather than be down and useless at home and work for 2 or 3 more days, I tag out, go to bed and usually knock it out in a night. I fee

On your last point, I've noticed an uptick in folks treating their dogs in ways most people might treat their children. So while I think on paper what you say makes sense, at some point, I think people are in fact personifying their pe

Same gen (42). I feel like we have a really unique lens on all of this, too: old enough to remember being in a smoky bar, socializing (not healthy, but fun as hell), but also young enough to have had some technological exposure at a crucial

That's a really cool idea. Also the inverse, where suggestions from the AI were similarly heat mapped for confidence would be extremely useful.

I would have to think personnel cost, no? I'm assuming American pay rates are higher than Taiwan's. More cynically, perhaps the DoD is getting a sweetheart deal and TSMC is passing the cost onto customers.

Hm that's fair. Retroactively I'd say "obscenely resource intensive text generation." Meanwhile for me to generate text all I need is water and a banana.

In a Chinese room sort of way, sure. The problem is we understand too well how it works, so any semblance of consciousness or self awareness we know to be simple text generation.

I think you got it backward. The morale of our administration isn't what's in danger here, and as far as I can tell, none of them have gotten a beating they deserve.

I think about this a lot. Early on, as a self taught engineer, I spent a lot of time simply learning the vernacular of the software engineering world so that I could explain what it was that I wanted to do.
