I can't think of anything that could speak on this level, and yet be completely and obviously (if you give it like, an hour of back and forth conversation) devoid of intelligence or thinking. It's not devoid of intelligence or t

It's not AI. As accurate as it may ever seem, it's simply not actually aware of what it's saying. Conflating intelligence and awareness seems to me the biggest confusion around this topic. When non-technical people ask me a

The reality is this: The world has moved on. From where, to where? You're saying nothing really. Most movement I've seen in the last 25 years has been because of price, ease of use for beginners, learning materials, marketing an

I like state diagrams, but someone told me that they predate UML, I don't know, they're useful. The bad thing about UML was demanding all kind of diagrams for every project, whether it made sense to do it or not. UML is neither th

I have set the font for this page and there's no confusion. 1 has slope, I double serif, l the top serif only to the left, O clean, 0 with bar and the bar in Ø is wider than the circle. So it's nice, but Fantasque Mono is still mo

I haven't heard "altruism" or "charity" from Mr. Beast's mouth, it's the article that uses those words and then proceeds to attack the characterization. He talks about giving away money to get views and en

I listened to the same interview and can recommend it too. The key to understand him is how he views what he does as hacking: mastering all aspects of YouTube, every detail that attracts views. Instead of getting hung up on what is or isn&

It's been a long time since I used it, and I've read that there was a messed version change since then. So take it with a pinch of salt. Drupal had a very nice hybrid of forum and wiki, it was called "book" IIRC. It was

I won't give any advice, but the story strongly resonated with me. Spoiler alert: Anand got hired. I didn't. After a thorough technical interview with the guy that would have been my boss, the VP had a five minutes talk with me, a

He has a point about digital hoarding. But that isn't the whole story about taking notes. Not everybody takes notes because of some twisted quirk rooted in evolutionary behaviour, really. Some of us take notes because... we need to rem

presumably in an attempt to appear more knowledgeable? O_o Again, my question is why in your model is the uniform application of a force the same as no application of a force? That's not my model, it's Einstein's.

I guess he meant what he wrote: that the site was immensely useful, with just a handful of people behind it. In this case, the reason is that being it in a sensible position, they must have chosen to close rather than to involve more staff.

I think a lot of people are missing the point of my question here. I believe it's you who are missing the point. Acceleration is irrelevant, it's how it's transmitted that matters. You feel gravity because the ground preven

About 200, but no more than 30 are used often and maybe 5 are important. I don't want to tell how I store them, but for these 5, I could even memorize them.
