What a silly article. Every premise presented is flawed and thus every conclusion based on those premises is not applicable. There are 0 AGI's on earth. I recognize the author is intentionally twisting the definition of "AGI"

I think you're right. I took the koan to mean that when designing any given widget the focus of the implementation should make as few contextual assumptions about the use of the widget as is it feasible to do. There is an inverse relat

Why do you suppose that is? I don't have kids myself, but if I ever did I think I would prioritize the incorporation of stoicism into their upbringing. Just as a stab in the dark, perhaps you perceive the philosophy of stoicism as bein

Okay, I'll bite, what's the solution then? Personally, I don't have any novel software ideas lying around that are demonstrably better than what is proposed by WASI. One advantage in this new push to build another sandbox is

But are any of those ways both at the assembly level (speed) and decoupled from the runtime (space)? My takeaway from WASI is that it would allow for a single universal runtime with near-native execution. The near-native aspect being what o

This is how I justify becoming so absorbed with my own side projects. Maybe one day it will prove to be a net positive! Congrats on the exit. How long did it take you working on the side until you were able to make it your full time gig?

I really don't understand why more people in this generation don't run their own strip mining operations for processor fabrication anymore. It's incredibly helpful in both understanding just how many man hours go into a singl

To play devil's advocate, I have worked shitty jobs in the fast food industry. Two and a half years at McDonald's and then another two and a half at Longhorn Steakhouse. I never witnessed a single incident of physical harassment a

Yes, but in person insults are less likely to happen because of the _implication_ of violence.

I have encountered this before and am curious about the alternative take. My understanding of it is that they agree with the popular narrative to the extent that the climate is changing but that they disagree about how conclusive the eviden

We've mistakenly hired a few of these sort at our company but they usually don't make it more than a few weeks at most. They don't deserve positions as software developers in my opinion. You can lead a horse to water, but you

Haha, thanks for the laugh. Considering the downvotes I got, I suppose I was out of line suggesting a wager, but I've yet to see convincing evidence for why blockchain tech can't work. Sure it's overhyped way beyond what it d

Would you be willing to make a friendly wager on whether it returns bigger than ever? My ten dollars says it will within, say, two years. What do you say?

I would say the trick is making the problem statement coherent. Sure, coming up with a firearm that can't kill innocent people is impossible because the innocence of someone is subjective. So instead, you can choose to approximate a so

Thanks! Dystopian hyperbole aside, your point about law complexity is a good one. Our current system is arguably already too complex. Anyone attempting to build a home can attest to that. But at the very least we are able to move through ou

I immediately asked myself the same question and I think it could happen like so: The new tools available to law professionals will decrease the barrier of entry to the ecosystem. The low level workers displaced by these new AI companions w

Wow, given the context, I just immediately assumed it was coined because of the story OP detailed. An incredible coincidence!

I'm curious why you refer to it as a trap. I personally use spacemacs and am very happy with it and I also use org mode casually, though do not consider myself an expert by any means. I do think I've experienced a similar "qu

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these rulings would only hold power in the EU though, no? That's great for the EU, but that means we've still got to fix the problem everywhere else.

I just use an excel spreadsheet that /u/3suns (I believe is his handle) from reddit put together. You just put in your current weight, target weight and a couple other metrics then fill in your current weight and calories consumed

I don't contest any of what you wrote. I was mostly arguing against the OP's very odd view that someone's position is due entirely to luck and not just partially. You and I seem to agree that it is a proportion, whether or

I wasn't careful enough with my language. Yes, someone can work harder and see diminishing returns anyway. My dad installed carpet for the majority of his adult life. I would characterize that as more difficult work than most, but he n

Well now I'm curious about what your views on free will are. > Do you think someone has a claim to wealth that they earned entirely due to luck? First off, this is a difficult question to answer because it seems yours and my definit

Wouldn't you agree that the harder someone works, the greater their chance of becoming rich? You seem to argue that the OP has absolutely no claim to the wealth that he has worked for and his preferable situation is due entirely to luc

I've never understood this take on things, though I'm ready to if it can be explained to me. :) To me, it seems that the user experience vs dev experience trade off is subject to market forces and if it swings too wildly in either

So I had something similar happen to me. I started out at the _ sign in _ page, I attempted to sign in with google, it remarked that I don't have an account and sent me to the _ sign up _ page that looked very similar to the sign in pa

Yes, but they only look for the presence of the degree, not so much the pedigree of the school, barring Ivy leagues of course.

Great write up, thanks! I hadn't heard of Terraform before, so thanks for the introduction. I have recently been attempting to familiarize myself better with systems infrastructure, and it looks interesting. I'll have to do some r

Nano (ticker: XRB) has no-fee transactions. Send 3 XRB, receive 3 XRB. I'd say it's biggest wart yet is the volatility, but there are already half-way solutions like instant fiat resolution. These kinds of services take their own
