Very cool article. Didn't know there were so many attempts to automate brick layering.

> If we assume FHE will take 1000x more time, but hardware also becomes 1000x faster, then the FHE performance will be similar to today's plaintext speed Yeah but this also means you can do 1000x more things on plaintext.

I feel like someone is trying really hard to push public perception of psychedelics towards "acceptable". I don't know who it benefits, but this is a really weird Overton window. I wouldn't say a word if it weren't

So do you argue that printing press was a net negative for humanity?

It encourages people to speak rather than type. You don't get hundreds of messages per day by writing in email style. You get there if you have a lot of synchronous or near-synchronous communication in chat. It's kind of obvious t

Beautifully written article about an interesting man. Hats off to Amanda (article author) for her determination! But this story is also a great reminder on the importance of readability. I can't name Putnam a genius if his works were s

I agree with the title, but not with the article. I expected to see something like how you can make your friends and family lives easier using your skills as a software developer. From time to time I come up with micro-projects that solve v

That could be offset if we moved away from standardized tests. I think I would prefer verbal exams and vibe checks. Of course, there's a reason we don't do this anymore. It's a weird trade off between "incentivizing stud

This sounds smart and could 100% be something I would say too, but it is not true at all. People benefit greatly from phones (and in some sense, social media). The way to test it is to give up phones for some time. I spent 3 months without

That's why we don't value photos that much in my family. The point is to actually _live_ a good life, not _remember_ it.

I live in a non-English-speaking country, and Google works fine for searches in English. I would say it only works poorly for single-word searches. Of course, I have my system and browser language set to English, so maybe that's why.

But it also doesn't have even 10% of Unity features. Bevy docs themselves warn you that you are probably better off with something like Godot, at least while Bevy is still in early development.

> 27K nodes and 230K edges This is such an overkill for that kind of data. Even if they do plan to "scale up significantly", I doubt that they'll actually experience any benefit of graph db.

Very cool! Open source robotics is something I always imagined to be a part of the future. Hope the idea catches on.

But this doesn't explain what the incentive for Netflix is if you pay for subscription regardless.

Or wired connection. There are drones that use fiber to resist to electronic attacks. Of course, it's basically for suicide missions only where you fly directly into deep enemy-controlled territory.

There is another video in the article where it runs quite swiftly up and down the hill. Definitely doesn't feel curated.

Yes, exactly. As a data hoarder myself I've been thinking 'what data is _really_ important to me?'. And the answer is - not that much of it. The work, mental space, time, money you have to invest into storing your own data i

I've found that in times of great stress, re-reading HHGTTG helps the most. Without fail, it makes me laugh and think about world more lightly, regardless of the circumstances. Wonderful books.

I don't get it. I'm feeling 'tense' and I'm being recommended 'The Shining'? Why? Although, I have no idea what movie (if any) would satisfy me when I'm feeling 'tense'.

I would expect similar doom predictions in the era of nuclear weapon invention, but we've survived so far. Why do people assume AGI will be orders of magnitude more dangerous than what we already have?

I often feel like it is news that process me. On a more serious note, always ask yourself: "who would this particular sequence of events benefit the most?". Helps a lot with the analysis.

Wow I wouldn't think that a small town an hour away from Portland would be so expensive. By the way, for a family of 6 they spend way less on groceries than I would expect.

Okay, it makes sense. Thanks. As a person living outside of the US, all of those didn't even cross my mind (maybe except for car payments).

Honest question about first story: how come they need $1000/week if they spend on groceries $100/week? I am sure rent eats a large chunk of that thousand but it still doesn't add up.
