Just my opinion: being in a group where everyone is on their phone feels alienating, and often causes me to whip out my own phone just to shield myself from the awkwardness. Of course there is nothing wrong with looking at your phone and re

Most popular = lowest common denominator, but that is not really as bad as it sounds. It's perfectly possible that everyone clicking on these general interest topics is also reading about something more niche or educational at the same

3.3 gigs of just text source code? That is unfathomable to me. EDIT: Okay, I guess if it also include revision control then that makes more sense. Still, that is huge.

I have no idea, but yiyan is short for wenxinyiyan（文心一言), which roughly translates to character-heart-one-(speech/word). Maybe someone who is Chinese could translate it better. So I don't think the name has anything to do with the

Chatgpt is blocked in China including Hong Kong, so my school computer doesn't have access to it. I also am a very very casual AI user

Baidu has a Chatgpt clone that I use regularly. https://yiyan.baidu.com I imagine it is good enough for most people.

Haven't used it in ages, but Blender did not feel like an Adobe product when it was first open sourced. IIRC its UI was considered notoriously unintuitive.

I thought of this. When 2100 comes around, they can just add the third digit (100). They won't have any regrets until the year 3000.

Because I have been with them in group settings, and although I am not fluent I understand a lot. They can speak at native speed and are never confused about what is being said. Basically that's it. Have you lived abroad? Living in Chi

My friend and I would be on the phone while we sent each other emails and we would be shocked at how instantaneously they were delivered. But now that I think about it, it is interesting to think how we weren't equally shocked that our

Yes. I have lived in China for about five years, and while I myself am not yet fluent, I have met several foreigners who started learning Chinese in their twenties and who are completely fluent and can speak like native speakers. I have al

You could perhaps pivot someday into your own original IP (i.e. create a word/letter based game that doesn't infringe a corporations IP).

So the greater moral courage would have been for Snowden to keep his mouth shut and remain a U.S.citizen? Where do you put the average person, who would simply prefer to keep their head down and enjoy their life, in your moral rankings scal

Or make people pay money for private subreddits. That would be a pretty clever troll at this point.

He never explains what happens, but The Road stuck with me because IMO it depicted how fragile everything we have is and the hellscape we would be inviting if civilization were to collapse. Since he wrote it this has been done to death by n

This in a nutshell is why Visual Basic 6 eventually failed. It worked for your use case until it didn't. And of course a programmer could dive into COM and ActiveX to extend it, but avoiding that mess was why people chose VB6 to begin

This may be a very, very naive question but: is it possible to have a decentralized reddit that has centralized servers that cache the data?

This may be an age thing (it is probably an age thing), but the picture of a smiling woman with a VR headset on completely detached from reality looks dystopian as hell to me. And it is being advertised as something I would actually want.

The quote from Charles Ardai bugs me. The original was a fun game. Women in video games were at that time (and still are? I don't play anymore) consistently over-sexualized, but it was never why I played a game, and I really don't

One of the claimed benefits of the JVM (and obviously later VMs) was that it would solve this issue: Java programs written in 2000 should still be able to run in 2100. And as far as I know the JVM has continued to fulfill this promise. An h

I say this only half-jokingly: think of the satisfaction you feel when a challenging piece of code finally compiles. You know there is a lot of debugging ahead, but progress is progress.

I don't have any specific recommendations, but it would also be nice to include books on the mathematicians (like Alan Turing) that laid the foundations for computer science.

That is very interesting. In Chinese, a word for rabies is 恐水病, which literally means fear water disease. I have never understood why until I read your explanation, but from what you have said the Chinese term would also appear to be mislea

I watched the video. Chat GPT is impressive, but exactly as the person creating the video mentioned, the deeper you get into the project, the easier it is for Chat GPT to get confused. And Chat GPT has no idea it's confused. You have t
