The question is: for this boy, which one was the "real world" and which one was the "virtual world"?

There is nothing quite like it nowadays - not in print, not online. Quanta has a similar vibe, but it's Math-focused.

What is this CD? I like old compilations. Edit: found it, it's called "Martin Gardner s Mathematical Games: The Entire Collection of His Scientific American Columns"

This is correct and Trump said that himself in 2016. According to him, he would spend a lot more time and money campaigning in California and New York instead of battleground states if the system was different. And we would then see the ver

In much of Latin America that's exactly what happens. The public schools are generally horrible and upper middle class and upper-class families simply put their kids in private schools. Public schools are not an option for these famili

The Tesla supercomputer became self aware and is now trying to eliminate humankind. Worry not, the supercomputer can't handle California power outages!

Games are information. You can literally print the game's code and assets on a book.

People still make new games for old consoles, even full commercial releases. These are done by enthusiasts, of course, but I think some people are possibly making enough money to pay their water bill this way :)

A "needs improvement" is a kiss of death for a normal tech worker. For him, it makes him look humble and deserving of the tens of millions he'll get anyway. Gosh, he might even brag about it.

Reading is very important, but hardly sufficient. One problem with over reliance on books is that your world view will be molded by your reading list. You correctly pointed out the importance of reading material you disagree with, but there

"Why I'm leaving Google" 2024 edition. Tldr: loaded with money and see no reason to do real work anymore.

If they went from 99% to 0% in 1 hour, their error margin was around 100%...

It will become like Polaroid. Expect batteries, cheap cameras and other disposable stuff. Raspberry Pi is being wrecked by the $100 computers now widely available through Amazon and eBay.

Excel (and spreadsheets in general) is one of the greatest inventions in history. There is hardly anything useful you can do with computers that you can't do in Excel. Spreadsheets are a higher level abstraction to computation itself.

When I look to the heavens in awe, thinking about humanity's future and our place in the Universe, I remember that we still have JavaScript and thus very far from space exploration.

Wonderful. It's a good reminder for the urbanites who live in their own bubble... The bulk of the country (any country for that matter) is made of people like this, not celebrities and intellectuals.

The LLM can't abstract PCI, USB, SATA etc from itself.

What I feel about this is similar to what I feel about government-sponsored research institutes and universities not releasing their research to the public... If you get money from the government, society is paying for your work so it'

As a kid I also liked them because they were heavier and felt higher quality for that reason.

Me too. A normal Capital W writer would waste 1000 words describing the aroma of the morning wind where they do the rituals.

I read OP's message as also saying "this looked like science fiction just a couple of years ago". I think people got desensitized, as they usually do, of how incredible GPT-4o looks like compared to what we had recently. We w

BBSs were a huge part of my life in the 90s. I wanted teenagers of today to be able to feel the same thrill of socializing like we did back then. BBSs are not as good as the Internet, obviously, but there are no full fidelity replacements f

I loved ready player one. It's not a classic, but it's a fun movie. I think a lot of the hatred comes from the people who have read the book (I haven't).

Can anyone name ONE software innovation that wouldn't exist if we didn't have software patents? 99% of enforcement is rent seeking and trolling.

I agree with many points in the review. Of course people expect the world from the person who directed Godfather and Apocalypse Now. Megalopolis is a mixed bag, but not a bad movie. Its good moments are actually pretty good. It's like

Neither does Netflix, Apple TV etc. Many people believe reviews go against the curation paradigm and have their own problems (such as review bombing).

They should at least give companies a premium tier where human support is guaranteed. I suspect they think they are less likely to be sued if they offer no explanation
