"Green Glass Door" also completely stumped it. It just could not deduce that the trick was semantic at the word representation level, rather than something related to the object that the word describes. What's funny about 20

High inflation and decades of disparity in productivity gains vs compensation combined with massive cost of living increases has led much of the younger generations to completely give up on building wealth. They don't think they'

This is what today's IP oligopolists would have happen to the bulk of culture. I find it exceedingly unlikely that all IP will be maintained by the owner for the life of the author plus 70 years. We know there are gobs of cultural ar

Cool. Let's see if Postgres will decide to implement this one. We're 12 years on from 2011 with no implementation.

Seconding Widom's course. It's a fantastic primer on databases. I did it during the first run, back in like 2011 or 2012 or so. I can't imagine it's gotten any less relevant in the intervening years.

Yeah. We started paying ourselves essentially rent+ramen, but you can only do that for so long while not burning out. The truly unfortunate thing is that we were really starting to pick up momentum, and the company now profitably employs a

Ditto. We both burned out. I got fired. CEO got pushed out not long after. Pay yourselves for fucks sake.

I agree. One of the engineers on my team came to me with a script (maybe 20 lines of bash) like "hey isn't it cool that I got ChatGPT to generate this?" and after studying it for a few minutes I was like "it is cool, bu

If my goal is murder, but I only render you completely brain dead, or maybe only paralyzed from the neck down, have I failed? Yeah, in some sense. But in terms of the grievous harm rendered, I've succeeded to a pretty serious degree.

Why does a non technical person care what version of .NET an application is on?

No. However, consider that since the 40's there has been a concerted effort by a variety of actors, such as Rothbard and other people backed by institutes such as the Volker fund, the AEI, Federalist Society, Murdochs, etc. to sap bot

I somewhat noncommittally also agree with Hedges here. I think that we have serious problems as described by Hedges and other neo-marxist theorists, but I also think that Zeihan is pretty spot on in terms of the geopolitics of the situatio
