Glad to see Valve figured out a fair solution to this. Gen AI opens up game dev to more people which is a good thing. Coders can use it silently in the background with impunity but visual and audio creators cannot. I expect as the tools bec

The built in tutorial followed by a couple of weeks of forcing yourself to use it for basic editing tasks until you find yourself comfortable again. Don’t try to recreate a full IDE experience at first. Try to walk before you run. The beaut

I think this misses the point of org-mode. Markdown is even one of its outputs. Org-mode lets you write in an environment that is aware of the semantic meaning and structure of your content, from headlines, latex, diagrams and lists to bloc

You can really buy insurance after being diagnosed with cancer? That’s the polar opposite of anecdotes I have heard, and my understanding of how most insurance works.

Why don’t we hear the same about Bezos and his Wapo or the dozens of tech CEOs and Hollywood stars and influencers that share the same views? Because people don’t want Elon to be neutral, they want him to be fully mainstream left or fully s

It won’t really help you in day to day programming. Studying it for that reason will yield disappointment. I see three reasons to learn it if you are a programmer: 1. You find it fun and interesting 2. You work in a language such as Haskell

This is unlikely to be a direct initiative to create AI movies, seems more likely as a leading tech company they need to hire the best AI people. Artificial actors, AI script writers and producers will exist only as outlying novelties. Our

IME moderation was bad after a year or so of SO. Something about the moderation role in general seems to attract certain personalities that have a negative effect on the content they are supposed to be moderating. That said I find SO still

Why not? That was the market cap when he bought it. Assuming he can recover the revenue lost when he took it over eventually, plus inflation and tech stock recovery I think it's very likely it will be worth that again at some point in

The argument seems to be whether people should be free to pursue activities they enjoy even if there are inherent risks, or if people feel that they know better and should step in to protect them from their own choices. It seems similar to
