Yeah, AIUI the Chinese government cares that Chinese citizens can't bypass the GFW, but either explicitly or implicitly does not care if foreigners do.

My personal experience has been that the “smarter autocomplete” in the IDE is the bulk of the value add for me. It handles a lot of the really rote stuff - “create a struct that matches this data structure”, “add an accessor for this proper

I'm not asking you to care, I'm asking you to recognize you don't understand what you're looking at. You can say "I don't find the work compelling", but to say it lacks artistic merit is just silly.

An awful lot of art, and especially modern art, has its meaning and merit in the context of when and why it was created - there's a reason people talk about art as a conversation, because very often what you're seeing in a piece o

The LLMs have been this moment for me - the toolkit, usage patterns, and strengths and weaknesses are so different from what I’m used to that I have a really hard time trusting my instincts or judgements on when to use them and where. They’

I think this is an example of what I’d call the “Blade Runner” effect: if you show Blade Runner to someone who’s never seen it before, they’re going to think it looks vaguely derivative, because they live in a post-Blade Runner world, in wh

One part of shifting from fossil fuels to, well, anything else is that the energy math looks worse because we’ve gotta account for all the stuff that we got for free before by burying the raw materials for a million years. Realistically, th

How’s this for a definition: the average CEO gets paid 350x what the average worker gets paid, so unless they’re generating 350x the value of the average employee, they’re underworking.

If they're considering Reddit content to be free of generated material, I've got bad news for them. It's not quite the Chernobyl-grade hole that Pinterest has become, but it's hardly "low background".
