There’s still plenty of new rock music though. Olivia Rodrigo is selling out stadiums, Chappel Roan isn’t far behind and The Crane Wives are still knocking out incredible album after album.

I’m not going to comment on the plausibility of the scenarios, but I will observe that geopolitically this plays out just like the climate crisis: There’s a global resource that needs to be managed. Some countries have a bigger slice than o

Consider that lim -> inf does not mean “It goes to infinity”. Its actual definition has nothing to do with infinity. So your argument about infinity is a red herring. Or try it the other way, tell me what mathematics works better if 1&#x

I mean, there’s that, there’s the eugenics stuff… with Watson it’s a bit of a target-rich environment.

Honestly this hurts my head but Hillel is inevitably correct. You can define an explicitly undefined operation to do whatever you like. But what’s the point? There’s no new mathematics you can do with it, no existing behaviours you can exte

Surely prion diseases are an example of protein to protein, which the article specifically says was part of the CD? I’m not unhappy with the tone of the article suggesting that Watson, yet again, vastly misunderstood the work of his betters

I used it to spend time in Haskell. You won’t win any prizes for speed, but it’s a good way to learn a bunch of new stuff.

Only year I ever completed it it took eight months. I’m not seeing my name on a leaderboard any time soon.

I think it’s fair to say that if someone is that determined for you to not hear what they have to say, you should oblige them.

The basic idea is that an exception is just data, so you can just treat it as part of the return type. Most of the rest of it is constructs that make it easy to work with, which mostly means making things behave similarly to the way excepti

I suspect that bsky will have very Twitter like problems as it scales. Still might check it out before that happens.

This is a great article but I do think the Atreides armour _could_ look different from medieval armour. Any physical power has to be applied while you’re already inside the shield. This probably affects where is effective.

I’m honestly surprised at how small the drop is, because it feels like I no longer know anyone who’s using it. Haven’t heard a conversation with involving something someone read there in forever. Hear about reddit all the time.

Honestly, I think you could adjust population growth in many western countries by just spending more on schools, providing generous parental leave and generally making having kids less daunting. But it seems like everyone who wants this out

I’ve just skimmed the abstract and I’ll mention the bit I found unobvious: in men, having children from a previous relationship showed as a net positive. One possibility is that this is a proxy variable for “has been able to sustain a relat

I watched Grace Hopper’s declassified talk recently and was struck by how often she was right on the money (not all the times, she was also way off on some things), but in a lot of things that sounded truly prescient, she was often emphasis

Smithfield features quite heavily in “Great Expectations”. Dickens hated the place. He subscribed to a theory that a city needed good circulation, which meant that things that obstructed traffic were considered bad, and Smithfield was hugel

True, but it would definitely be funny.

Fair, but I think the article itself is very clear on the importance of the mentor. It's an fun question that hasn't previously been posed, which itself is quite impressive.

It _could_ mean any of those things, but in practice most APTs (this one included) seem to fit the profile of “Regular hackers doing this as a full time job”. Most seem to be five to ten people, probably just a small office somewhere. They

Non-qwerty seems to me to be one of the biggest wastes of time we’ve come up with in search of productivity. The time spent learning it could be spent learning vi, learning Haskell, learning to shoot hoops or learning the guitar. Pretty muc

I don’t think the question is an active research area, or the problem would probably already be solved. However, it’s nonetheless extremely impressive. I couldn’t have done this at 21 with a lot more experience under my belt.

My first was “Cowboy Bebop”. Pretty sure it’s not in the training set.

Strong agree. The Nova classification is extremist and heavily useless. Yes if you come up with two classifications and one includes McDonalds burgers and the other doesn't you'll be able to show a health effect. Doesn't mean

I think you and Voltaire are thinking along the same lines. Both are a rejection of a bloodless utility maximisation creed on the simple basis that human morality just doesn’t work that way.

The balance idea sounds like misremembered Hegel. I think the best of all possible worlds theory should be seen for what it is: an attempt to reconcile the idea that a perfect god made the world with its observable imperfections. It’s intel
