The website isn't really my thing (maybe I'm weird, but I already know my favorite 3-4 episodes of every show I've watched) -- but the writeup is stellar and has just the right level of detail. Using LLMs to generate episode

Reading a few of the written summaries, I’m finding them lacking. They often elide or even misstate important details and definitions; and the things the author focuses on are sometimes odd and make me think they aren’t able to understand t

But there’s a difference between “impressive” and “100B impressive”, no? It’s not clear how big the market will be (depends on tech advances) and how much of it they can retain.

Their moat is massive for mobile apps. For PC + console, I think their clock is ticking. Godot has many disadvantages (fewer features, large performance problems, asset store, poor UI) but they'll eventually fix them and perhaps become

I don't get that at all. It seems like a very diplomatic note, expertly phrased; calling out "the process and communications around Sam’s removal" placates both parties without implicating the board too directly.

Off-topic a bit, but I've been curious about a 2D pathfinding problem for a while that this site doesn't seem to tackle despite having lots of articles on the subject. Is there an algorithm out there for finding "enclaves&quo

I think there's little way around the model itself being very bizarre? Unity asserts they'll be able to reliably track a number of installs that accounts for trolls, multiple downloads, and also carves out exemptions for charity,

That clone the author mentions in passing is pretty sad. They didn’t even try to change the items or anything about the game to make it their own — literally everything except graphics seems to be lifted directly from the original. Then the

I’m pretty sure of the opposite. Even for your minimal example, the translations seem very suspect (what’s the word for “working” in Vorin?).

Won 12 games in a row with no losses. Usually I win in one exchange by asking a question that exploits AI's weaknesses, e.g. about a current event or (especially) profanity.

A few things I personally don't like: - Use of space: GitLab has more empty space across the site. Elements have a bit too much padding for my tastes and are spaced a bit too far apart. Valuable screen space (top center) contains a lot

I appreciated the specific word choice there; 'disgusting' implies a strong, visceral reaction, as if to say GitLab's work is so far from the author's taste that it blocks them from considering the product, and didn'

There's nothing wrong with Bard's schedule. Overall I'd prefer it to ChatGPT's (Tokyo is endless, and splitting it up into two chunks is smart). I appreciate also that Bard is much more decisive in recommending specific

One of the worst posts I've ever read from Scott, this reads as shockingly tone-deaf and blithely optimistic. He totally ignores the actual events that transpired and instead focuses on Sam's purported ideals, probably because Sco

You're definitely right for most people, but even 10-20ms is noticeable by experienced players and can be very impactful at pro-level -- e.g. some high-level LoL players feel 35ms ping is unacceptably high for competitive play: https:

To me, the animation in Ghibli movies feels lush and alive in a way that’s rare in the (seemingly) difficult, very cost-sensitive world of animation. Ebert’s review is wonderful; I also enjoyed this video, which touches on some of the same

I think this was very likely the case. It has the feel of a magic trick —- intentionally drawing your attention to one particular point so you don’t see what they don’t want you to.
