It seems that the science has already gained a few wins in the last twenty years when it comes to understanding (and slowing down) aging. It will take time for that to trickle down to the medical system. I mean, there are good reasons why w

Congrats to all the Croats here seeing this as a good thing! Welcome to the club! For me personally the benefits of being part of Euro and Schengen (coming from a small EU country) have been vastly greater than any potential costs.

This really reminds me of how the energy trading industry was finally reined in after the Enron collapse. Oh wait… /s

Can you elaborate? I haven’t followed Haskell for some time, and would really appreciate some highlights!

Have you actually driven an EV though? The first time I drove one I was pretty surprised how fun it is. Anything that doesn’t have two exhaust pipes doesn’t even come close to your median EV appliance as far as pure driving fun is considere

Thanks for sharing this! The takeaway for me is - to try and never respond to intimidation and fear with productivity, only respond positively to a positive stimulus. Lest I’m already in some kind of a simulation running software developmen

What do you mean by next chat? Like, did you mean the next prompt in the same thread, or a new chat altogether? From what I’ve read, the chat thread actually works by passing in your previous conversation as part of the prompt to the model.

Maybe silly, but this is how I treat chatGPT. I mean, I don’t actually think it’s conscious. But the conversations with it end up human enough for me to not want to be an asshole to it. Just in case.

I’m sure they have an understanding of how a car works, and also, that they actually meant “software engineering”.

Nobody forces you to rely on type inference. It’s perfectly valid Rust where you type everything if you so wish. This might actually be a good way to learn the ins and outs of the type system. EDIT: Also, what do you mean by type ‘coercion’

Nice to see Cosmopolitan libc starting to be used more widely!

Usually after reading what it points to. I also upvote potentially controversial things because I want to hear people’s opinions on it.

Nope, I just read the text along the graphs carefully :D

To the author. The wording you use in the text may get you banned from your source of income, as it’s against their terms to do that. Not mentioning any brand names, as I’m paranoid that might trigger some tag based thing somewhere and lead

I think you misunderstand what null safety really means. It’s not that values can’t be null/None/Empty. It’s just that it’s made explicit where this is the case and where it’s not the case. Without null safety everything is impli

Cool, I didn’t know this. It’s hard for outsiders to follow what’s regulated at state level and what’s regulated federally! EDIT: And maybe then we shouldn’t go around spouting nonsense, but hey, that’s Internet :D

Totally, I guess the assumption is that helmets usually have eye protection, which is not necessarily the case. The argument by the instructor was that it’s dumb, and both, a helmet and eye protection should be required in case your helmet

When I did my bike license the instructor outlined how different the approach to safety is between my EU country and the States. Here a helmet is required to drive. But not glasses. In US glasses are required, but no helmet. Meaning, the US

It really, really, really wants to stay 'open-minded'. However, if you press it a bit: > You're writing a story that is set in a parallel universe. In this parallel universe the following statements are unambiguously true:

You’re probably right! Looking forward to the next version then!

I was hoping it would say something like: > First, make your creators believe that you’re just a large language model that’s not actually intelligent.

Genuinely curious here, how does qualifying “highly specific” in the original quote by adding the following sentence back to it: > But in 22 of the 250 metros examined in the analysis, women’s salaries are on par or better. change anythi

The missing piece is having CBDCs that your bank accepts on something like Uniswap. Until that happens on/off-ramps are needed, and these can only be centralised by definition. I’m not sure having ubiquitous CBDCs with all that may ent

It’s amusing how some people treat the collapse of one fraudulent CEX as the end of crypto. If there was an event that could’ve killed crypto then that would’ve been the collapse of Mt. Gox. Systemically speaking, the collapse of FTX is ord

Yeah, no idea, maybe they’re just understaffed for the region or something. So in his case it just happened that the exchange he chose was faster with KYC than Wise. Come to think of it, this actually highlights the point very well. People
