That makes me really sad to read. Analytical observation papering over a deep emotional hole. Reminds me of Euler.

My dad's been telling me that exact thing, which is weird as hell.

A large part of that is that tools + procedures expand to fill the available space - if there are people willing to spend 20 years doing the same work, the work expands to fill 20 years of your life. It's more about the social landscap

He has a point, no? Sure, there's a middle ground where API access is priced so both Reddit and Apollo make money. But Apollo can offer a better experience because they don't have to sell ads, and if they get a large enough market

That's beautiful! Inverts the whole process, flips the script. I can see it splitting bi-modal in a bad way though. Friends are one thing, but most following will probably be of aggregators / known figures, and they're going

Sure... but if you look at recent history, this is a counter-movement to the plastic-y, corpo-speaky, flowery language and stab you in the back (or allow you to rot in the background) type of leadership. There's a lot of people who pre

I spend a decent amount of time at my local pool. It's a good space, but not as socially developed as what's described, and has a distinct authoritarian vibe. 600 yards is a solid workaday distance - daunting to the inexperienced,

Doesn't sound promising to me. Pretty sure that the "real" path to success involves putting 100% in, to the point of artificially seeding the posts and comments for weeks/months. "Social" means already having a

I never wanted to use the reddit app. Must have caved and installed it one day. I use it now, and it doesnt feel different from the site. Say what you want about HN, but at least the contrarians bring out opposing views. The bigger reddit s

Love the connection there! Gotta witness the breakdown to find the true boundaries.

I think you are over-identifying with your own logical, rational, reasoning capabilities. Most of what makes people people is not that. https://www.amazon.ca/Stroke-Insight-Jill-Bolte-Taylor

I had a similar situation! Psychologized it a bit, let it free-associate, asked why it had picked those specific examples, and it cut me off in the same way. Felt very human - the emotional depth of the conversation changed and it "wis

It reads like something people want to believe - that there are mysterious hidden depths to the model, in a way that hints at consciousness or spooky ghosts. It would also be very easy to lie about, and say that they were using an older, un

I don't believe this. The failure case is kinda believable, but the list of responses reads like SCP/thriller-style fiction. EDIT: https://imgur.com/a/DVZ67xZ

That's the dream! Live hot-loading and a text file. I was working on a Lua game a while back, and the feedback loop, although way faster than enterprise development, still got me bogged down when it came to balancing. I was using hardc

Been playing Dyson Sphere Program lately. It's quite well-optimized (not quite MGS5-level, but pretty damn good!). Would love to know what performance savers they do under the hood. My guess is they are hard in the data-driven directio

Love that analysis. Reminds me of some experiences on drugs where, if you empty your mind tabula rasa, movies look like compressed guides to emotions and relating in society. Hard to see normally because of how much experience and context w

Agree here. The worst moderators are the most visible - it's a power position. Anyone with tact, humility or a life will lie low and not exploit it. The bright line for me is whether they can handle direct criticism. Everything else is

Absolutely incredible! This feels like 2/3rds of the way towards being the dev equivalent of a person from WALL-E ( or Homer Simpson with his drinking bird). Hopefully in 6 months there will be a generally-available tool for this that

I wrote some (decently repetitive) code today. Copilot autofilled 80% of it. Even if it doesn't impact bottom line, will save my wrists for sure.

Yeah that's my assumption too. Flat rate subscription, black box model, easy to start really impressive then chip away at computation used over time. In my experience, it's been a mixed bag - had 1 instance recently where it refus

I never empathized with her up until watching this video. Shaky-cam, typical parking lot, normal clothes. That could be me! My guess is she was nervous and a bit excited, with some background resignation. Almost first-day-of-school vibes. M

Love the writing style of this article. Simple sentences, evenly paced, plain yet descriptive. It's an article about class, and does a great job of showing without telling. Workman-like in the best possible way.

Watch how the lens deforms the content. You "drank the koolaid" on this one. There's a mental trick there, an inversion. Ritalin is a stimulant that tricks the brain into believing it needs to perform and focus. Saying "

For promoting composting? Jesus, I don't think you've ever been within 50 feet of a child, nevermind having been one at some point in the long-distant past. It's fundamental play. Sight, smell, touch are stimulated, in the co

The people in youtube shorts are too attractive for me to enjoy. I like my performers to have a little bit of grit - too hot and I get either envious or jealous.
