I did my PhD at Caltech and knew one of the grad students working on this project. I remember him telling me that Julia is a complete mess (don't recall why he disliked it). I would imagine it feels more "modern" than Fortran

I might be the minority here but I prefer USB-A. The connector feels more robust and I don't worry about damaging it. My keyboard, mouse, webcam, flash drives, etc. all use USB-A. A disadvantage of USB-C is that lint can get in the por

Wow, didn't realize he was selected as part of the Times 100. Also, is there a reference for the OpenAI claim? It's a bizarre claim to make.

I heard the exact opposite about London clubs - my friend told me they find all kinds of stupid reasons not to let you in.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm glad he's being charged. I wouldn't like it if some activist stole my data and made it public. If you believe that it's in the public interest for this information to be releas

I actually bought this dictionary on the basis of this blog post. (You can find reprints from Christian schooling websites, who want to preserve proper "biblical" English as it was taught centuries ago.) The dictionary is great, b
