The craziest thing to me is that when he was saying things like that noone in the mainstream media was questioning him. The FT had a very flattering lunch interview with him shortly before his demise. It was embarrassing how they were portr

I can empathize with this opinion, but deep in me it feels (I am not saying it is) wrong. Maybe I love books too much. My fear is spending too much time optimizing life instead of living, so to say. The value of Anki is clear, but I wonder

Couldn't one use Arc and similar boxed types to avoid thinking about memory until later?

I think the main factor while it is more difficult than SaaS is that a lot of people want to do it regardless of financial sense. It is a passion project. It is like one of those jobs that so many people want to do out of passion (fashion,

Refugees are not the bulk of immigration in Germany.

by mejutoco 3y ago
That data is about refugees. You are conflating new arrivals with refugees, which is not accurate. Some people might think it is even in bad faith. What about all the other immigrants from EU or abroad whose higher education was not paid by

Uhm... I know? OP said printing dollars makes the dollar worth less > expectation is that each printed dollar is worth less And I said in times of instability the demand for dollars increases (dollar goes up). What I am saying is the &qu

I am not so sure debt has to be repaid. Debt is supposed to be repaid, or should be repaid, or comes with great declarations of an intention or obligation of being repaid, but debt can be kept indefinitely. Cases from the top of my head: -

I think for the analogy to work either we compare: - a musician knowing how to fix their instrument vs a programmer knowing how to fix their keyboard/computer Or - a musician fixing some harmony, or progression vs a programmer fixing a

All seem valid to me. The inputs to training are the "sensor" through which LLM "experience the world". Maybe interpolation or extrapolation would be acceptable too.

Just for discussion's sake. It is debatable what happens in our heads. When we play one of the earlier pixel Zeldas, one might argue our mind is filling in all the details with higher resolution images. I can still agree with this argu

This argument makes sense, but I am not sure I agree with it. When I read a book in a modern typeface, it does not remove me from the story in the book. I do not need to read a world war II history book in Fraktur to get into it. Maybe, lik

Breve means short (in duration, as in brevity) too, if it helps to remember it.

I do not think at the early industrial revolution people looked for artisan-gigs, considering the hours, child labour, and general lack of safety. Happy to be proved wrong, I find that period very interesting.

Ask the to say when they were at your business and why they interacted with on the comments. At least readers will see it.

Not to argue either way, but this can happen in meetings behind closed doors while in the office. Anyone can say anything while not present even if in the office. I think it is more productive to do a good job. If someone says false things

I would recommend to add something like "include x word in your application" somewhere in the text, so that only people paying attention will catch it. I have seen some job sites even offer this natively.

With sufficiently adequate drivers seatbelts are superfluous indeed. Apart from an analogy is a template of your argument. It is the logic of the argument itself. Errors also happen sometimes without type systems being to blame (they only c

by mejutoco 3y ago
That is a very original take, but I think you have it reversed. Typing removes the possibility of _some_ errors. Those are tests you do not _need_ to write (you can still write them if you want), thus having more time and attention to write

I saw so much suffering in that movie it never ocurred to me that it could be seen as a feel-good movie. The devs working on the game for 2-3 years while the life was collapsing around them. I found it cathartic but not a happy story.
