As an aside, I really wish Lex Fridman would make his interviews shorter and edit them a bit. Plus, I'm not trying to diss him but genuinely asking - he's not a particularly remarkable or interesting or entertaining interviewer (h

This isn't an official Google project, the contributions seem mostly from one person, so probably someone doing this as a 20% project. Carbon OTOH has a team working on it AFAIK.

It's pretty awesome in terms of taste - it's just a bit less sweet but tastes just like sugar. I didn't find too much info on impact but it seems pretty safe. And you can really use it as a sugar, it even caramelizes. I use i

Maybe more like C++ without (most) pointers. A coupe of years ago they allowed mutable references in function arguments, so the use cases for passing pointers around were reduced even further.

Sounds like this one is pretty advanced down the funnel, having successfully passed phase 1 human trials, or am I missing something?

AS3 was really great for its time. 15 years ago it had stuff we've seen go mainstream afterwards - the language was like modern Typescript, it had components and React like behaviors, I did a couple of projects on it and it was a joy -

Nuclear can't store solar energy, I'm only talking about giant scale energy store, not generation itself. I'm all for nuclear FWIW.

Agreed. I would say Lichess is superior in actual gameplay (apart from multi-premove, but that's not available in mobile on chess.com as well), but chess.com is better in the extra features. Their analysis is much more user friendly, e

The thing is they have an excellent track record with runnig open source programming languages for over a decade. It's often claimed that Go succeeded only because it was sexy because it was Google. Why hide it here?
