My pet idea is that rather than targetting cancer, we should be trying to find and correct DNA-errors before they become cancerous. Otherwise we are just playing whack-a-mole with a slowly degenerating cell population.

So I'm just thinking here but I think leveraged buyouts can lead to moral decay. Like consider a business. It's making 9.5m profit per year. By engaging in various unethical practices that could be increased to 10.5m per year. But

I say make a mod for a popular and easily moddable game like minecraft or roblox. You will have a 3d engine and content for free - this is incredibly important. You need a quick MVP or he will lose interest. Then you can try to gradually ad

And the word thaler is a shortened version of Joachimsthaler. Joachimsthal was the place where the silver for the coins was mined. And the second part of that, thal, is cognate with English dale.

So I was thinking it would be kind of nice if there was a way to write a url like https://nitter.net(c/o 185.246.188.57)/something/other I guess links would still be broken though. Maybe a browser feature for a ho

Well here's your timeline: 1. Chrome had to support adblockers to outcompete firefox. 2. Adblockers were really powerful pieces of arbitrary logic making blocking them infeasible, so manifest v3 had to first be introduced to weaken the

Well you could always turn to a life of crime if you want to keep your dignity. Only half joking.

People speak of these things in term of identity , but I wonder how true that is. I could easily imagine (pun intended) these are more akin to skills, that can be improved with practice. Actually now that I think about it, I do know that t

Well there is the famous old quote "Every time I fire a linguist, the performance of the speech recognizer goes up". Dates all the way back to 1988, believe it or not. Basically early approaches to getting machines to understand l

I'm not saying it is his motivation in particular, but if we look forward a few years I'm pretty sure a lot of people will be trying to get the LLMs to recommend their products. It's a fairly natural extension of SEO. There a

I have seen stuff like this. Audio programs asking you to specify the location of lame_enc.dll. Emulators asking you to specify location of some bios.

I get what you are saying, but normally this wouldn't matter too much right? You will have a small number of calls into the C-extension that together do a lot of work. So as a percentage the ffi-overhead is small.

What I've come to realize is that I don't want Nix. But I do want ordinary Linux distros to move in that direction. Like update-alternatives. Like simple ways to reinstall the system while keeping /home. Like a file with al

The language itself may not do such string scanning, but reviewers and home-brewn scripts might.

Sounds consistent with some non-scientists working in the field, maybe for some smaller software company? They find something cool, and try to write a paper about it, which is something they aren't very experienced with.

So this made me think of spaced repetition, which is based on how the brain retains memories. I wonder if you could make a cache retention algorithm similar to what the brain uses. I'm thinking something like this: Every entry has two

I'd be willing to pay a premium not to fly on such an aircraft but not too big, as even though they aren't quite as safe as they should be, my impression is that the risk is still fairly low. Something on the order of 5%

To me it's a bit strange because it assumes a buy / not buy perspective rather than a buy this / buy that perspective.

As someone that has used Linux for 20+ years that is not my experience. Rather the UI experience goes in waves. Sometimes it's easier and sometimes it's more difficult. There were polished desktops even before Ubuntu existed. Ever

I would say that the spirit of the test is that it should be able to demonstrate human-level or above profeciency in every mental skill. Being able to fool the man of the street for a few minutes is a neat parlor trick but nothing more. And

Well classical conditioning kind of only makes sense in the context of an agent that is receiving inputs and taking actions on them. Many neural networks don't solve problems of that type, and so have no need for classical conditioning

I'm of the opposite opinion. The portable-assembler camp is responsible for a lot of the issues and footguns, because they think they know what code will be generated. But they don't. Compilers can generate any code they want, as
