I wonder if Valve could (threaten to) become their own payment processor if this becomes too big of a threat. They are one of the few companies on earth with enough money to attempt it. If I remember correctly a big part of Valves heavy inv

Is there anyone trying to solve OCR, I often think of that annas-archive blog about how we basically just have to keep shadow libraries alive long enough until the conversion from pdf to plaintext is solved. https://annas-archive

I don't think Wes Anderson has anything to worry about either, it isn't only panning shots in pastel colors.

No idea, but when people say they can visualize an apple and then say it feels like number 1 on that chart, I would say that my experience of whatever I'm doing when I'm 'visualizing' an apple is more like 4 or 5 https:

my theory is that aphantasia is purely about conscious access to visualizing not the existence of the ability to visualise. I have aphantasia but I would say that spatial reasoning is one of the things my brain is the best at

Adding more sanctions seems to be the default US move it seems, to the point that there are so many sanctioned entities that they've formed a paralel world economy. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive

It is nice when it works, but sometimes I run into trouble where I don't know a right word to put in the prompt to get the answer I'm looking for. I've recently been playing around with Raku and had a really cryptic type sign

I would suggest you start looking into independent games. Just this month Blue Prince came out, a puzzle game à la mist but mixed with elements from modern rogue-lite games like Binding of Isaac. It is designed and directed by one guy, Tond

you can't imagine something being relevant because the AI doesn't know about it? Seems like more a fault of the AI if you ask me. There is a huge amount of information that hasn't been—or cannot—be captured in the data LLMs a

If I read something and then remember it 5 years later because it becomes relevant, I want to be able to find it. It's not even that I will look at it, I just want to have the option if I want to.
