Government funded trips to Mars and Europa. Space based gravitational wave sensor. Fusion (this one has actually had fairly good progress lately).

I have great news if you're willing to play VR games - PavlovVR is pretty much exactly what you're describing here. It has community servers and can be modded with anything you can put in an unreal engine level (so anything) It&#x

A topic I've been interested in lately is quantum machine learning[0]. Qubits as neurons make sense as a natural architecture to me. Though, as I understand we are still somewhat early in terms of the number of available qubits being u

I've spent a lot of time over the years trying to think up the perfect analogy for software development and I've never quite found one. It seems like they all tend to break down but cooking is ok for some parts. To that end I see

I was unconvinced until I listened to the demos at the bottom. I might have to test this with the next book I listen to, seems like it might make the listening experience better too.

Wow this is actually amazing. I would have never thought to try something like this. A fun thought that comes to mind is connecting docker and twillio on the other end and then offering some kind of a pay per text vm for randomly testing th

Depending on your company, you might be able to start a project within the company that is either open source, or will be open sourced and work on that during slow times. It can be tricky to find meaningful jobs but with open source it flip

To me this is the perfect answer. Star Trek is good too. Particularly once you get into the ship computer and holodeck concepts. But Banks writes so specifically about about what it would be like for a civilization to thrive working togethe

Wow this is really cool. There is a trick with ChatGPT where you can get it to simulate a linux terminal[0]. I'm not sure if that would work with GPT3 but probably? Seems like you could either use this directly or extend the idea to ha

It depends on the media. HBO's Silicon Valley for example depicts being a founder as being mostly stress and existential dread punctuated by occasional moments of great excitement. I find this to be pretty accurate. Startups are pretty

Adding hacker news or reddit to the query is a good trick. Especially if you use that to try to find a book reccomendation on the topic your interested in. ChatGPT is a great resource too. It's just one step in a multi step process tho

Not sure if this is the kind of thing you're looking for but I found this channel / series of videos to be a pretty great introduction to poker. I wouldn't call it mastery level but I'd say these videos plus a little pra

Not sure if this would be allowed in their terms, you want to check but you could host the videos initially in LBRY / odysee and then embed them into a client serving them up in a frame without hosting them yourself. https:/&#x2F

Google has a reputation for being especially bad with this sort of thing but I tend to see it as a distinction between the underlying infrastructure being based on classic tools vs crypto. Doing things the old fashioned way you run into thi

Agree. Here is a twitter thread with video examples of using ghostwriter, an LLM similar to ChatGPT to build several example sites. https://twitter.com/Replit/status/1620445121476202497?t=6Mm9... I think the nuanc

Think about what it must have felt like going from statically typed languages to dynamic languages. Or even something like the jump from assembly or fortran to C. In fact you can go back and read some of these accounts. It felt to them like

I use it a lot for understanding programming concepts or features of programming languages. Sometimes to write the code itself. Really handy for maintenance type scripts around the local pc but also for more involved tasks. I use it in plac

Yes $42 feels quite cheap to me. I pretty much always have a ChatGPT tab open, mostly for coding but also sometimes for searching more broadly or exploring it's capabilities. It's worth it to me just to have access to a version th

Seems like some other CEOs may have recently departed over layoff disagreements with the board. I wonder if this is a sign of upcoming Netflix layoffs.

Don't monks typically share the same diet inside the monestary? Could that be the actual cause? Seems like they would want to test someone who meditates all day then eats a big cheeseburger. Something tells me that may have a bigger im

Back in these days I worked at a small electronics shop run by an electrical engineer. People would come in saying their PC didn't work. He would pop it open, take out the motherboard, go "ah yes, puffy caps. See right there"

I find that articles and blogs are good for questions, books are good for answers - or at least an attempt at that answer. Sometimes you'll find an article that is as good as a book but other times I read a book proceeding an article a

The related dynamic here is why large companies can't innovate as much or as fast as startups. Actual innovation is quite wasteful and you wind up going down a lot of dead ends where all you can really say at the end is "well I gu
