May I recommend "Look to Windward" to you?

I'd play games, read books and do drugs. It'd be different from today's state of affairs in that I wouldn't need to spend the majority of my waking hours reading stuff I don't care about and building things I don&#x

> having lived through the dot-com hype in the 1990s Having not lived through this, I'm actually curious as to how similar it was to the current hype cycle. Was there a general sense that something singularity-like was approaching?

Most of us on some level felt confident that AI would completely revolutionise our society. The singularity made sense to me, at least. It hasn't worked out like that, but rather than accept the crushing reality of our mistake and take

What's the distinction between capital and money?

by dtj1123 3mo ago
FWIW, this isn't unique to capital. The same 'get a thing that ticks a box out of the door as fast as physically possible even if it's AI slop' thinking is everywhere in grant-funded academic communities as well.

Gvim is a TUI with a GUI taped on top, and whilst the PowerShell you've given there does call a GUI library function as described, I'm pretty sure the author is referring to non trivial examples of a GUI like sublime or VS Code.

Helix is a TUI. Perhaps you should read my comments more carefully before writing a reply.

Activating aeroplane mode after loading the page prevents any animations that weren't in view beforehand from playing... Weird

I'm fully aware they're not the same thing, I'll not sure what gave you the impression I think they are. I agree that a badly written TUI is... badly written? Obviously I'm referring to well executed TUIs. For example, I

I like TUIs because I can pipe the output of CLIs directly into them, and I don't have to leave my terminal environment. GUIs can't compete with that.

No, I'm not referring to Bonferroni's correction, which obviously has nothing to do with what we're discussing. I'm sure I've heard this called Bonferroni's principle. Edit: Yes, in the section 'Statistica

I thought this was known as Bonferonni'a principle? Or am I getting mixed up?

I don't wasn't someone else to have a copy of my genome, whilst wanting to analyse my genome. The only way to do that is with affordable home sequencing.

Kevin Houston introduced me to the concept of a number system. Cool guy. Hard disagree that mathematics is just a shorthand notation though. It's a body of thought, independent of the symbols you choose to represent it.

I recently started Introduction to Probability theory by Blitzstein and it feels a lot like what you're referring to. The author introduces something called 'proof by story', where instead of just running through algebra to p
