> The risks of highly correlated vulnerabilities are on top of that. For small groups, it doesn't matter too much if it's correlated or not. A 'small' hit doesn't exist, so 20% or 80% is a wipe-out either way. Yo

I wouldn't single out the concern new diseases if the population is small. Most diseases co-evolve intra-population. The lethal ones are the ones that suffer a mutation and are suddenly able to be passed to a different 'species&#

Panel is an arbitrary UX delimiter, so fundamentally no, unless you're really pedantic in defining (upfront) panel as a meaningfully semantic unit across apps.

Nonsense, when he'll have one panel per screen pixel, he'll be able to see over 8 million Fibonacci retracements, 40 heatmaps and real-time market sentiment headlines at once on a 4k monitor, then you'll see.

Is this insider info? The 'charted performance' caught my eye instantly. Couple things I find odd tho: why sawtooth? it would likely be square waves, as I'd imagine they roll down the cost-saving version quite fast per cohort

Instead of anti-fragility, I'd point you to the law of requisite variety instead. You'll notice that all AI improvements are insanely good for a week or two after launch. Then you'll see people stating that 'models got w

Coding with AI is kind of like obesity in modernity: having tons of resources is the goal, but once you get there, you end up in a system you're not really adapted to. Personally, I don't care that much about org incentives (even

'Say "Yes" to Palantir not coming to Europe' - would have been the wording if the vote were organized by Romanian politicians. (ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Romanian_presidential_imp... )

That description is accurate, but that's more of an attention management problem then of a navigation problem. You have to infer information about opponent positioning based on partial information, while also moving your character with

It's not that it's appealing. For example, I wanted to learn how to bend notes on harmonica, but it wasn't working. That's not something you can really understand without video, yet most tutorials are 5-15 minutes long a

Just sitting around and thinking of solutions to your own problems beats giving yourself work. As refactor_nietzsche would put it, resource slack is what lets you be a refactor_master instead of a refactor_slave. If you feel pressured into

Generating AI Content sucks, Consuming AI Content sucks, but combine them in the same loop and it's really addicting. AI Content Prosuming rocks. Since LLMs, if I see a video I think is interesting, I take the transcript, feed it into

Vsauce did a video about how League of Legends can affect spatial navigation and the brain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RHsAUyFCAM It seemed a bit odd to me since LoL isn't especially navigation-heavy, but Michael

I don't think generation/discrimination is fundamental. A more general framing is evolutionary epistemology (Donald T. Campbell, 1974, essay found in "The Philosophy of Karl Popper"), which holds that knowledge emerges t

I'm not interposing libc or injecting libraries. Guests run as WASM modules, so the execution substrate is constrained. The host mediates and logs effects. Changes only propagate via an explicit, policy-validated promotion step.

What you're describing is a resource virtualization with transactional reconciliation instead of program isolation in the mediation sense (MAC/seccomp-style denial). To let a program act as it wishes, ideally every security-releva

I think avoiding algorithms completely is tricky. Even things like podcast guests or suggestions from friends feel as manipulable but in a human way. What works for me is checking if people I respect in a domain also blog or link elsewhere.

For generative skills I agree, but for me the real change is in how I read and debug code. After reading so much AI-generated code with subtle mistakes, I can spot errors much quicker even in human-written code. And when I can't, that

Torch simply has to work this way because it cares about performance on a combination of multiple systems and dozens of GPUs. The complexity leaks into packaging. If you do not care about performance and would rather have portability, use a

This is a nice illustration of the expression problem, which the article itself points out toward the end. Multiple dispatch is a language-level way to solve it. Crafting Interpreters [1] has a very approachable Java-based chapter that also
