I personally find dark mode with too much contrast to be harder to read. I experience real discomfort otherwise, so I don't think it's as simple as "more contrast is always better". I think it comes down to what you&#x27

I find myself in the same boat as the OP. I want a job where I spend the least amount of hours per week and earn $30k per year to survive. Right now I earn closer to $150k but I routinely work 60 hours a week, and I don't get to spend

I disagree. I think questioning assumptions can help you come up with novel solutions, because you don't assume you're already looking in the correct place. Asking the question "what if we're at the limit for intelligenc

These demos tend to make heavy use of raymarching, which is an alternative way of representing geometry that doesn't rely on polygons. This is why these demos are often so small; they generate 3D scenes using what are known as 'di

It's hard to describe if you've never experienced it. It's like the most powerful psychedelic drug you can take. It allows you to manifest an entirely new world into existence. It's the ultimate power trip. True autonomy

There has to be another way of showing an appliance is receiving power which is both visible at night and in broad daylight. The super-bright LED is overkill in anything but the brightest lighting scenario, and makes any room immediately ug

What if we are already at the limit for general intelligence. What if we're the smartest beings ever to have existed.

Sounds like I won't be able to produce any evidence that will satisfy your criteria. I personally consider "tricking people into thinking they'll make lots of money if they spend hundreds of dollars minting NFTs" to be a

Oh, it seems like it's only for their card-trading game? So they're essentially saving themselves money on gas fees? I'm more interested in the fees affecting individual artists. > We’re sprinting towards March 2021. Immut

I know people who have spoken English for over 10 years, but still give themselves away as non-native speakers by using the incorrect tense. A common one is that they'll type something like "I didn't understood what he said&q

Malcolm X's autobiography is "as told to Alex Haley". I believe it's a common phrase used when an article is written by a journalist, but from the first-person perspective of the interviewee.

It can costs upwards of 200 dollars to mint an NFT, and it's quite common to see artists who have minted several NFTs but not sold anything yet. I'd say the likelihood that poor people are being harmed is quite high.

Calling a person on the phone is a rude act at its core. I think it was Stephen Fry who once said a phone call is like a person bursting into your room yelling "Talk to me now! Talk to me now! Talk to me now!" We wouldn't sta

If you have that much in the bank and you're worried about how a gap year will affect your future, then I'm royally screwed. I want to take some time off, but I've got significantly less to fall back on. I wish I didn't

I found one with a quick Google search (actually even earlier, 2016). Excerpts from the comment thread [0]: > Ethereum hopes to do away with mining by early 2017. > They're switching to proof of stake. Early PoS designs have some

Thank you for the comprehensive write up! It does make me feel better to know that there should always be an accompanying explanation of what the variables are.

by dorkwood 6y ago
Right, so it's all stems from mathematicians working with pencil and paper. Are mathematicians ever frustrated that they don't understand what the variables mean? Or are you able to look at the above equation and infer the meaning

I'm not a naturally empathetic person, but people often rate me highly these days. All of my tricks come from Carl Rogers' book "Active Listening", where he teaches you the importance of making the other person feel unde

I also sometimes have to translate mathematical notation to algorithms. As a non-mathematician, math notation seems similar to naming all your variables 'a', 'b', 'c' etc. and then writing a key elsewhere that

Maybe the "reflection" they used to catch him was the fake, and all the others are real.

A lot of phones now come with this feature in the default camera app. I had a family member uploading group photos that all had smoothing applied to our skin. They said it made us look better. I found it offensive.

I think it's normal. Even highly productive people go through slumps where they can barely muster the strength to stare at the screen, let alone get any actual work done. My secrets for regaining some of that strength at the end of a w

A mistake I often make when explaining things is to leave out a lot of the "obvious" stuff, for fear of talking down to the person. I've learned that it's often the obvious things that most need to be said.

Thats ok! I guess we both have slightly different experiences. Thanks for sharing that additional context.

What are you basing this on? Most of the artists I've met either work in film, television, advertising or video games. I've worked as both an artist and a developer and your categorization doesn't strike me as common. Also on

NFTs have slowly been taking over online art communities for the last 6 months or so, it's just reached a fever pitch lately.

If someone truly understands that the money is coming from crypto speculators, and that the way to make money is to essentially become an NFT influencer, then it's hard to fault them for extracting money from millionaires. But most art

I don't think I've ever felt inconvenienced that I had to manually flip a light switch. I have, on the other hand, felt inconvenienced plenty of times by machines that try to guess what I want and get it wrong.

An example I saw getting traction on Twitter a few months ago was a photo of Melania Trump that was purported to be a body double. Since the original image was blurry, someone used an AI upscaler to "enhance" the photograph and in
