Still, there's risk, right? If there were zero risk the bank would be unable to make any loans at all. It would just be like a safe.

Well, aren't you "loaning" the bank your money when you put it in an account? If everyone wanted to withdraw all the money from all their accounts at once the bank would be unable to pay; you get paid interest because you tak

For the 2030 census race shouldn’t even be a question. You won’t get any actionable data.

I'm assuming they sent a fixed QR code or something similar? Anyone familiar with the visas? What a debacle.

It’s about the plasticity of your brain, but also sometimes about the opposite: holding firm mentally. Some brains hold simpler models with greater certainty. Some brains hold more complex models with less certainty. Each type witnesses ins

Great job, man. I've consulted the online version a number of times over the years. Will be purchasing this in dead tree form :D.

I mean, this is close. With "co-pilot" an experienced developer saves mountains of time, especially as s/he learns how to wield it effectively.

Could disincentivize open source? If I build black boxes that just work, no AI will "incorporate" my efforts into its repertoire and I will still have made something valuable.

Eccentrics - how many, how eccentric - are a measure of the cultural sophistication of society. Very sad. "KiwiFarms" sounds like a terrible site; would love to see it destroyed, but those people will find somewhere to aggregate.

Hence the “replication crisis”. Replication of experiment and differences in outcome highlight the “core” result. When the results are just totally different, obviously there was “gaming” or just a bad experiment.

Interesting how as I began reading the excerpts from the paper I had to stop myself and realize that the author himself had ironically conferred a bias against the paper, LOL. I was primed to find all the flaws. I think psychology and socio

It’s going to be more Linuxy somehow. I don’t know how, but there’s going to be something with Linux like WSL but more. What if they included two kernels, both Windows and Linux? Just speculating.

Scraping is inevitable. It seems like it exists in this grey area of a “hacky” accepted practice. I think it should be expected today. If it’s public, it’s public. Of course copyright applies, but day after tomorrow people will just run cop

Plus, this would be a goldmine for finding game exploits, and creating PC mods for all the Frostbite-powered games.

Although I don't condone hacks like this of course, I think it would be amazing for someone to interpret the engineering and mechanics behind a title like FIFA for the rest of us; I'd look through the code myself though I'd i

V8 is really an engineering marvel, making such a high-level, dynamically typed language as fast as it is. I see people talking about WASM and “why bother with JS at all”, but keep in mind that JS code is more expressive than WASM, so if yo

You'd think the water analogy would be easier to build and sell. Regardless, the more "analogies" the better, as the abstract concept reveals itself more readily. When I was taking physics, the water analogy of circuitry help

Their crawlers are more advanced now. They already handle SPAs with # URLs and content that’s only fetched once the JS is executed, and likely use some OCR and more powered by AI magic.

I’ve considered making something similar, but I’ve thought: what’s the advantage? Just more computation for the server that could be done client side. Why not just have the app on the client. I’ve dubbed this the “cloud gaming” approach, lo

You can render the fonts and do the text shaping yourself. You don’t even have to use any of the Canvas API except putImageData, or WebGL. Also you can use your own curve drawing algorithms so you own all pixels of the application.
