For me it's not coolness it's just context, 16:9 is too short to fit enough lines and scrolling and jumping is as annoying as tabbing in and out. This is also one problem with ereaders for me, especially for anything technical. Wi

Still don't get what's the advantage over just adding a special API key or a wrapper cli or whatever mechanism that achieves all of that without being a "protocol" and with all the context bloat. Like the github cli is a

You can scold juniors and they will learn. You can't scold Claude.

It is an interesting discussion you bring up but will take much more than a comment to talk about. There is a divide between mathematics and physics regarding numbers. Real numbers have supposedly infinite precision, and arbitrary size, whi

Perhaps symmetry is overrated and it is not the beauty that works, but it's economy. If something is symmetric depending on how symmetrical you can remove half or more of the required work during calculation. It is also useful to work

You're just claiming it's effective. We know it's effective. But there's no reason it should be effective. It's primarily because philosophy has not caught up and we still can't explain the foundations of mathe

In some senses it's good. That feature list just says "use a smartphone then". No thank you. It's everything that a camera should not be. GPS is useful, but not wifi. I don't need my camera becoming another IOT alwa

That's a good way of putting it But this is also the set of incentives that produces spaghetti code because "we're gonna get acquired in two years"

I don't think corporate ever gave a shit about code quality. Honestly if there weren't building codes skyscrapers would be made with the cheapest shit that didn't collapse immediately and your house would be made of cardboard

Unfortunately most people just treat it as a job. And indeed, it is a job for most people. Not all farmers love gardening and all in their free time. It's just a livelihood. For me I like programming but honestly for my job I can'

Yes I hate it too, but it's common in computing too. Better terms are "on demand" and "batch" which you sometimes see used instead in other contexts.

Turns out countries with constitutions forbidding excessive debt are quite smart. It's like phone addiction -- if the parents don't lead by example and strictly enforce "no phones at the dinner table" then slowly it&#x27

The words are so overloaded. Republican is just generic right wing. I think the "conservative" the parent is talking about is the neoliberalism like what Milton Friedman would propose. He would have wanted half of the government g

This is super interesting given that I had just watched an episode of survivorman where Les Stroud was given the "sing sing" ceremony by the villagers in the mountains, and also was wondering how they learned English that far up i

They are only modified if there is some form of selection though, like for example some people say of the Dutch and their height. In modern times it is more likely that culture and education augments genetics such that your violent tendenci

Entirely untrue in the Pacific theatre, with the Japanese doing human experiments both with germ and chemical agents. The largest scale use I remember was where they released infected rats (forget where) in a certain Chinese city to cause a

But that doesn't do anything much? Nails don't lie with their points up so it will just roll out of the way. Also if it's like a thumbtack sized nail with a large base pointing up, it will actually not pop the tire, it will j

Many times the battery costs more than the savings, even if you charged it up for free, say at a mall or mcdonalds or something. If there was a large savings the utilities provider would be doing it already. Well that's also why people

If they tried to play nice they would have offered the compute upon hearing the rumors, and not just "authorship" after or close to getting a result. It's just a PR stunt.

It's just conflict of interest. OpenAI is trying to get billions and billions and there's so much at stake. You spend millions trying to preempt two guys. It just makes you seem like a big bully. People would get angry even if it

That's just damage control lol. That's the equivalent of a NDA. Get your name as lead author, get paid, and stay silent forever.
