After about day two, ChatGPT didn't produce anything useful anymore iirc; at least when asked to write the solution in Haskell. Interestingly, it still produced internally consistent solutions with valid Haskell code, they just didn&#x

Your point about keyboards isn't necessarily true anymore, since there are now a few keyboards with Hall effect sensors that allow for analog input. That's probably the future of gaming keyboards, but it can also be pretty nice fo

I was thinking the same thing with regards to security. If anyone wanted to attack Twitter, there probably won't come a better time than right now. I suspect there's a ton of disgruntled employees with some leftover access, and I

I'm not actually sure that particular move is criminal. Morally reprehensible, most certainly, but my understanding was that, since crypto isn't regulated like a security by the SEC or anyone else, you are free to pump&dump al

I think in terms of potential real-world contagion, FTX might indeed be in a league of its own among the crypto entities that have imploded so far. Add to that the fact that the crypto ecosystem was _already_ under a lot of stress from rece

That's a cool idea! But that font on the example pictures... I'm not sure what it is exactly, but the 'Comic Sansness' really bothered me.

Something about Perl developers enjoying a game that slowly melts your mind seems oddly fitting.

Even just a functioning garbage collection would be a huge step forward in some places.

That sounds pretty fascinating. I wonder though, with all the dangers inherent in AGI, what makes it still personally worthwhile to work on for you?

Thanks for the tips! That's a rabbit hole I went down a few years ago as well, but I only reached the point where it all became too complicated and I ended up with a random cologne from a Rituals outlet... which I still quite like, but

Oh man, I can relate to that a lot... have you experimented with melatonin? A really low dose (0.3mg) of it at around 11-12pm helps me tremendously with keeping my rhythm somewhat in check. I still make liberal use of option to work wheneve

Check out reviewmeta.com, sadly its quality has decreased recently because the servers are overloaded I think.

Consequently, the only way I pick what to watch on Netflix is using either ratingraph.com or a browser plugin that shows ratings from other sites directly in Netflix's UI (don't remember what it's called at the moment).

I'm curious what the 'artefacts' are going to sound like with schemes like this. Using a generative-adversarial network as a compressor (with a 'perceptual' discriminator, how ever that works) probably means that al

I've been using Startpage for a while now and am quite content. It's essentially a privacy-preserving frontend for Google, so you get the result quality without the data trace.

That is a fair point. I guess it basically comes down to preference: Should code be essentially self-explanatory, without needing to resort to external documentation to understand, or can frameworks be terse to the point of being a kind of

To me, this kind of 'magic' is definitely a double-edged sword. For the people that are familiar with the framework, I assume it makes it much nicer to write code and to reason over it (at the above-framework level), since there&#

What is going on over there? First the confusing move to release two 4080s, now a confusing press release about unreleasing one of them, that itself reads like somebody released it prematurely?
