Somewhat just told me this is why my mixed-use-zoning neighborhood is awesome. Was thinking about how this dynamic changes when you work from home (as I somehow still do).

So glad I came across this, I'd never come across 1st Math! Can't wait to get my kid set up on that. Hoping more people post recommendations in the chat here this stuff is hard to find. It's lazy but I set my 2yo up with a th

lol, I didn't realize how famous the PB&J exercise was. That's fantastic. I thought it was just from this puppet video I've been showing my 4yo and his friends. Anyway they seem to love it. https://m.youtube.co

Seems like one of the primary themes in responses here is inflation, which seems like it makes sense. But is the point of this study to provide a basis / justification for larger tests? And if so would the next step be to test a UBI fo

And how could they possibly base their actions on good when their technology is more important than fire? History is depending on them to do everything possible to increase their market cap.

I like this as a narrative framework a lot more than the AGI arc. This seems a lot more realistic and less dramatic, more human-focused. I like the idea of a model being able to create and maintain a full codebase representing the app layer

Really appreciate this write up. Problems with noise almost destroyed my life a few times in SF, Marin, NYC and LA. Ironically moving to a more central urban location with mixed use zoning up in Sac seems to have solved my noise problems. M

Playing it on Steam Deck right now. Only issue is with QTEs but honestly hasn't bothered me at all. Thought that might ruin it. Overall it has been an excellent way to replay it so far.

Also playing through on Steam Deck. Steam QTE problems really haven't hindered my enjoyment at all. Kind of shocking how well it's aged overall and how different it is playing through as an adult. I am waaay better at driving that

I just coincidentally found my old dreamcast while cleaning out my dad's storage space... Guess I'll be buying some batteries for my VMU... Also excellent write up and discovery, truly inspiring *clap_emoji *bow_emoji

Glad you drew this comparison. I have a 4yo who (TLDR) we didn't really push TV on and started reading on his own when he was two. Before he was born I put a lot of thought into what he would watch before he was born assuming it would

Just a side question but "while the rest of the world builds ai systems" makes me curious about what rough percentage of software engineers out there are working directly on building AI systems, even just on a front end level. Ass

In talking about how they manage to keep it so drama / toxicity free with other alums all we can ever really do is speculate. But people being asked to leave seems to be very rare so we've often concluded it must be in the admissi

Is this the sort of data that could be useful in training LLMs or in terms of demographic data that would be valuable to advertisers?

Agreed, super cool project. All it seems like it would need for a full pollock vibe would be a color palette selector. And maybe this audio track on loop and a transparent overlay of animated cigarette smoke. Great url. https://m

I may be missing something obvious but I'm not super clear on what this would be used for. What kinds of projects have people done where this might be used? [edit] Or alternatively what would be a good first project that could justify
