What about the thing that is in my iPhone and iPad, whatever that is, can’t they just use that?

The reason is not “humanitarian and the right thing to do” it’s to send tax payer dollars to the enormous war companies in the US. There’s even leaked voice memos of these CEOs assuring investors “there is still plenty of instability” to pr

Becoming a good coder is like mastering anything, it takes deliberate practice, discipline and time. “I tried to do a 12 week course in 4 weeks” … and failed, fell into a flurry chaos of self doubt and gave up. You are not going to shortcut

No, that's too reductive - the behaviour is not solely explained by a unidimensional scalar like competence because there are actions that a greedy unethical competent company would take that another non-greedy ethical company would no

Is there a version of Hanlons Razor but instead of incompetence, it’s money? I’m a firm believer in that. The clause was probably put in there so the lawyers could bill more hours. I can easily imagine a legal firm noticing a drop in billab

No, compilers (correctly) prefer correctness over speed, so they can optimise “obvious” things, but they cannot account for domain knowledge or inefficiencies further apart, or that “might” alter some global state, so they can only make opt

I agree that this research is quite a bit more trendy than practical, for example, as someone who works in Catalysis, I'm not super sure that it is useful to limit the search for catalysts to materials available on Mars, when materials

I'm working on E2E catalyst discovery (for all small molecule chemistry) at the moment as the primary core of Atomic Tessellator. https://atomictessellator.com Mars catalysis are one of my validation projects, so it's

It does work but it’s much slower, when we are discussing code it’s started trying to execute it, which has failed every single time so far (not because the code is wrong but due to operational issues like timeouts), very annoying

I’ve been coding for 20 years commercially now, and I’ve come to define good coders - and indeed intelligence itself as … adaptability. Not fluid intelligence, not creative velocity, not creative originality, not oodles of domain knowledge

Yeah I kind of think that visions of the future from 50 years ago envisioned flying cars being the result of a new kind of propulsion - not something akin to a small plane that has wings and requires a runway

Oh I didn’t know, I was only looking for something packaged that could help me simulate the computing environment of my youth, and this is what came up when I googled it. Could you point me to the best open source efforts please? The AmigaO

You use your critical faculties, very important things must be verified from other sources, unit, integration, numerical tests can evaluate code and results. Sometimes you need to go back and forward a bit, I tell ChatGPT it’s wrong and the

Woah calm down man. It was not an insult at all, I was being literal. Ideas without action do only occupy a few brain cells (and nothing else) and brain cells are tiny. It's a Arnold Glasow quote thats common in the startup ecosystem a

If you’re going to play with Amiga, I’d recommend buying a legal copy, just to support the community, and it’s so cheap, it’s really worth it for the nostalgia alone. I had a play with it last weekend, and it wasn’t very easy to setup, but

Thats ridiculous, how would that be calculated? (Your profile says you have a PhD in math, so I'm expecting rigor) Is all power equal? Here in New Zealand a large amount of our energy is green and comes from hydroelectric - how does th

It’s a very common state to throw criticisms and theories with no solutions - it’s called “the bloodless intellect” - and since it offers no solutions and takes no actions, it is almost always the worst option. Granted sometimes a bad solut

I’m waiting to hear solutions … or do you only have criticisms? And how far do you take that? We can’t produce a world without deviance so we should just let it slide?

Nobody goes to prison and you earn interest on all of that money for a year or two, what’s the downside? As long as nobody is held personally accountable these sorts of things will keep happening, we have to be tougher on the execs

Exactly, myself, and all of my straight peers are not having children because they are expensive, for all of us it's cost of living (well, and I'm gay, but there's ways around that :P)
