I'm surprised to find no mention of Rationality: From AI to Zombie (alternatively known as The LessWrong Sequences), which seems to treat the same subject matter: https://intelligence.org/rationality-ai-zombies/

How is the growth rate determined? Since presumably it varies, is it averaged in some ways?

Does the winning solution read from a database? Otherwise this is an apple-to-oranges comparison. If it does, the connection code certainly isn't shown.

Thanks I was hung up on why "it's fair for Charlie because he got to choose before Bob" part, but this explains it nicely.

Seems like a reasonable analysis based on a careful study of the facts. Keep going.

I think you don't understand what the commands do. Cheap jab aside, yeah git is fine 99% of the time. But that last 1% can really fuck you. 1% is not that small percentage.

It's from the "Daily Comment" section. Basically, an op-ed. A commentary on the situation. It's exactly what someone would expect it to be, and I would say it's an interesting opinion.

What a load of bullshit. Sure it's extra code, but browsers are ginormous anyway. Removing Live Bookmarks is fine. But why get rid of the RSS auto-detection? It's a good advertisement for an immensely useful open technology. Als

I like Jeremy Ethier much better, not only are his videos more dense, but they also tackle precise question with general applicability. They're also backed by solid science that is cited in the video, and feels less shaky than the &quo

Hard to believe, that would be a 180 degree turn. The two iPhones I owned (3G and 4) had shit durability. I'm not sure the fault laid in the hardware (although my mute button broke on the 3G), but software updates made the phone unusab

Fair point for nullables, although that is already possible through annotation processing (see the checkers framework) - but there is a good faith argument that this isn't "core" enough. The syntax for functions and inlinin

The type system of Kotlin is pretty much the same as that of Java (the only addition is that of declaration-site variance, which essentially allows you to elide some of these annoying wildcards at the use-site). I'm not familiar enough

You want to write a simple static website. Now you have to choose between 100 generators. Your life has become a little bit worse. Personally I rolled my own, but I can't say I would necessarily recommend it. But in less than 300 lines

Great to go fast, but know you're building on shaky grounds that will shift underneath you.

In this particular case, the fact that the code is so terse makes it immensely more maintainable than a whole architecture + framework. The HN code is meant to be understood as a self-contained piece, and that's contextually very dif

The notion that a naked toddler is shocking or laughable is baffling to me. Even for high school kids, although those do tend to be mean and stupid. I find it hard to fathom what you could find to ridicule about a person from a naked pictur

It's difficult to debate because there is little evidence (we're talking about the future). But people value privacy a lot. People like to have time where they are safe and vulnerable. And you still control your own home. At worse

The basic thesis might be true in general, but the bias in treatment is so apparent: > Instead, [listening to music] often means a teen who has shut himself in his room or used her earbuds as an armor against social interaction. And th
