There were a few rough edges for me with the block-based editing. I chocked it up to me never having used a block-based editor with any frequency. I stay away from some of the AI features: - One feature generates additional context for a fl

I'm not astroturfing. There's been a dearth of quality products around efficient learning. There's Anki, then there's Mochi, a slightly more modern Anki. That's it. It's wild to me how little selection there is

It's not an Anki clone and I don't have low computer literacy. I'm a senior staff ML engineer at a large public company. I don't have the time or patience that Anki requires to make it a passable product. Not a childless

I wonder how the researchers who supplied the tree evaluation algorithm felt when Williams supplied his proof. Dismay at having not kept their result under wraps for longer so they could claim credit for such an advance themselves? I hope n

“ If the problem is solved next week, Williams will be kicking himself. Before he wrote the paper, he spent months trying and failing to extend his result” What a strange, sad way to think about this. Academia is perverse.

The point about how increasing the number of Steam games published didn't increase the number of critically acclaimed Steam games, and therefore, volume decreases average quality, is very weird. It's the wrong conclusion to draw w

Yeah, this is way too snarky for what Airbnb actually is.

Remnote, a note-taking and spaced repetition app, has possibly the best integration and application of AI I've experienced, on par with GitHub Copilot: https://www.remnote.com/ I'm a happily paying subscriber. Tot

I’ve consistently failed to make writing elisp net positive for me for basically anything. I use it as a configuration language, and even then, for functions longer than a few lines, it’s still a lot of coding for very little benefit. I jus

The purpose of that demo was to create a machine that can draw like humans can, as the creators explained. His objection was that whatever produced this had no concept of pain, and that’s what makes it grotesque. He called out that he had n
