To calibrate: Yudkowsky didn't sign because he feels a temporary moratorium doesn't go far enough, and he published a piece in Time [0] with a stance that a shooting war to enforce a ban on AI training would be justified, to preve

I’ve been doing this kind of thing pretty regularly for the past few weeks, even though I know how to do any of the tasks in question. It’s usually still faster, even when taking the time to anonymize the details; and I don’t paste anything

Adding the dash fixed it for me: cat mario.nes - | nc play-nes.org 4444 However, while i got the game to render, I couldn't get the game to respond to controls after that, so YMMV

Good code should serve as documentation, in addition to serving a functional purpose. “Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.” Depending on the use case, this may not obviate the necessit

Strictly speaking, WotC didn't pull the A:NR license, they just declined to renew it when the six-year term was up. While we don't know the story, it seems a safe bet that the initial license was seen as a low-effort monetization

I recently learned that Darabont intended "The Mist" to be shot in B&W, and the studio wouldn't allow it. While I'm sure the cinematography would have been vastly different if filmed in B&W, a quick Handbrake rec

In the spirit of Asimov's Zeroth Law, I think it's time for the prequel, Web0 (since we all know zero-indexing is objectively correct). Bring back the simple purity of Usenet and BBS: everything that's old is new again ;)

Setting aside the arbitrary fuzziness of the "WebN" labels, Web 2.0 addressed two clear shortcomings of the WWW stack: (1) no protocols for persistent user identity, and (2) no protocols for value transfer. The trade-off of the 2.
