Well, for better or worse, markets are becoming increasingly dominated by "non-biological utility maximizers" - mostly hft bots, but now also llm-based reasoning agents.

This has little to do with shareable links and everything to do with the trust you put in whoever you share it with. There's not much difference between them ctrl+v-ing the link to a third party, vs them ctrl+a, ctrl+c, ctrl+v-ing the

I'm not sure what you mean. I can't find a single prominent contributor to transformers who doesn't have a CS background. The closest I found is Jared Kaplan (math and theoretical physics), who came and contributed with mathe

There's a lot that could be said against agentic programming, but I don't understand how it wipes away anyway about CS - everything about this is a massive tower built on top of (and effectively utilizing) everything that we'

Another example of Analog Virtual is Hokusai's The Great Wave (and similar prints). I recently watched David Bull's videos about his recreation of it [0] and it was fascinating to hear him tell about how even the "original&qu

Looks like regular self-help slop to me - the recombination of old knowledge into a slightly different package, and claiming that if you just understand and follow these steps, you'll achieve capitalist nirvana.

But the whole argument in the monologue is that Will Hunting hasn't - that it's possible to have had some of "the human experience" but still be unqualified to talk about the parts you haven't.

It's a well-written monologue, with a fabulous delivery, but I think it fails spectacularly for this argument. From what I just looked into, neither of the main people involved, including Damon, Affleck, Williams, Van Sant, Reiner or G

You can also have the em-dash itself be a typo, e.g. using the figure dash ‒ (U+2012) instead.

Good point, and that was for me the promise of the original MOOCs 15 years ago - for students to be able to take on these MIT/Stanford courses, with the exact same workload and see if they could handle them, without any additional cost
