I saw the restrictions and thought it wasn't going to be all that useable in its current form. Then I saw the c64 emulator in the samples. Not nearly as limited as I was thinking. This is a really good project.

Where I live, the banks won't give you a draught without the recipient's name on it. So you leave the dealership with cashier check in hand and then what? You have to go back and cash it yourself before getting a new one and headi

I like the use of emojis. At first they don't make sense. But as soon as you realize what one does, the others immediately fall in line.

Then you are over-reacting to partial information you have received, and assuming things that cannot actually be assumed by what was stated. Farmers primarily farm for other people, and live off the money they they make from doing it. The

I worked with a guy who used baby sign with all his babies. He swears by it because the baby is more able to specify what it is they want, instead of crying while you try 5 things before giving them the thing they want. His kids grew up sm

I don't know where exactly the dividing line is, but homesteading and hobby farming differentiate at some point. If you are regularly buying groceries, it's probably a hobby farm.

It also adds a lot of filters so the answers come out following a particular set of rules (re: swearing, racism, always ending poems and lyrics on a happy note, etc) Someone previously asked it to play a role as an AI, and what filters what

That's straight up how Lisp macros work. It is alien technology after all.

Good question. Let's try it. Here is some Lisp code I know cannot be duplicated as-is in C: (defun num-atoms(list) (cond ((null list) 0) ((atom list) 1) (t (+ (num-atoms (car list)) (num-atoms (cdr list

I just tried a couple, and they no longer work. Well, maybe with some additional fuzzing. I think they are working on these issues in real-time (it is beta, after all...).

I found a great example to demonstrate. I asked how to transpile Lisp to C. It perfectly described what transpiling is, said (correctly) that not all Lisp structures will translate directly into C, so those parts of the code may be broken,

I think they are working on it in realtime. I tried to duplicate what you've said here, and got this as the demonstration section of a Lisp function I requested using crazy logic with heated keywords: ... (is-racist-homophobic-or

It does parts of the code really well, I noticed. It's usually toward the end that it starts messing up, and especially the inputs are bad. The descriptive text is nearly always spot on, which makes the code errors a bit wonky. I have

I noticed some weird things with its code writing. A lot of the time the text is spot on, but the code doesn't actually do what the text says. And sometimes the input examples are totally wrong, even when the function does exactly what

Warren Buffet sometimes talks about looking for these kinds of need items, and then making sure they are well represented in your stock portfolio. He considers it better than hedge funds, since the risk (and potential reward) is greater, bu

Ah... so it's the challenge, and not whether anyone will ever use it. In the same vein, there's an old DOS assembler trick from the late 80's through the mid 90's - remap INT 20h (which was a 1-byte opcode to exit the cu

It's definitely that old scam that used to be floating around on Twitter. Read this familiar blurb for Elon on this part of the video. https://youtu.be/3fMGjJVijdY?t=4537

Interestingly he shows up fine for "governors of california" but not for any movies or anything you'd expect his headshot to appear on.

Also if you search for "governors of california" which surprised me, since he's invisible just about everywhere else.

I don't see any value whatsoever in removing carriage returns just so you can say it's one line of code. It might make it sound clever, but it really isn't. It's not good to read, and that to me is much more of a minus t

Strangely the Earth view countdown is out of whack. I saw it at a pretty random part of the countdown for a short bit. But by the time the countdown hit 0 and reset to another 1/2 hour countdown, Earth was not visible. Now, it might ju

Likewise, if/when we find life, how would we recognize it? We have some understood rule sets for life here, yet we have life forms that don't 100% conform to any one of them. There is no guarantee life on another planet will even

That section on issues with the donation is interesting, and probably hugely stressful. Can you expand on that?

Maybe you were making a point by using a Twitter link. But this did not need to be a two-step jump for people who want to read the email. The source is actually https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/16/elon-musk-demand

I'm curious if art work that gets restored invalidates the NFTs associated to the repair sites (or vice versa?). It's quite an interesting application of the concept either way.

I wonder if this could be used to prove prior art in cases that involve certain colour combinations.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the converted when I say psychics are fake. But sometimes a good lead is simply an idea that they hadn't considered yet. That's why police will take tips from anyone who feels they have one to g

Theoretically you should have an identical experience with VMWare on the Mac. So in that case, I'd just go for the faster machine or the one with better hardware options. Whatever gives you the most options for productivity. Which may

What you have running under WSL is more inline with the question, since it is about OSs and not "what virtualization do you use". Although at least it's half an answer if you use Windows as part of your dev stack. Although I

Okay. The link I found had an interesting angle because it discusses insulin in diabetes. But this is a study about making a commercial beverage by adding grapes to help ferment it. Definitely didn't need to be a pdf.
