I don't think it is directly. I was referring to the 1/3 comment but possibly it is related in how we are representing decimal numbers as irrational numbers. I had made another comment directly on that somewhere in this tree but i

Is this problem simpler than we want it to be? Meaning 1/3 is a concept stating there is 1 part of 3 total. If you have 3 total parts, added then it is a whole. Trying to shoe-horn it into the decimal system, similarly to try to repres

The thing that helps me "understand" it is that the universe has finite sizes of things like the Planck length for example being a theoretical thing at the smallest distance I would imagine. Now imagine it going smaller than the P

My take away from hooks is that it is pushing toward making your components simpler. One of the gotchas of hooks is that it kind of "lies" in the way it looks. Take useRef or useState for example. These things are only defined one

relating to this...it makes me very curious about Neuralink or similar tech impact on humanity once that becomes more advanced. If it is true we have these specialized processing areas while our awareness is another specialized area, it wou

This feels right in terms how I experience things when I've had bad migraines and notice parts of my capability going away temporarily such as understanding speech or being able to read words or missing visual areas entirely. Things ge

The only reason I completed a side project was because I had people that I cared about that wanted my side project done to help them out. In other words, I had social motivation and collaboration. For me, going completely alone on something

That is terrible if you are working on a pwa game to cache assets offline. There should be some opt-in approach similar to location tracking in the background like some apps do. That seems way worse than simply having local data be relied u

I don't agree that something should stop working of course as that is just a straw man...rather from a pragmatic view of actual usage from my own perspective that seems to be fairly normal to use something else within 6 long years that

My young sons rejoice in that now they can easily sneak snacks into the shopping cart at any "just walk out" store and us parents won't know until we already bought it. :)

Yes...think of it as layers... or manifests that point to another set of manifests global (list of users) -> accounts (have lists of users in them and role), content -> list of json files. I use a combination of json logic or simply l

Oh, I thought they were going to use me as a mechanical turk to train an AI...seems like a good idea...could have camera-based lifeguards that dispatch lil' float rescue drones.

In terms of the little guy having a saas, this is true for me...my saas basically is relying on s3 for both file storage and a json file per account to list out users allowed in the system. The only time it goes down is when s3 goes down or

What I like about Tesla is they have over the air updates using a fleet of network data to quickly address issues or exploits that may arise... but this article is quite funny exposing the gap between AI and basic human intuition. I do beli

IMO, this is an ego-centric article. Unless you're trying to change the world...be happy you have a continual stream of work. If they don't have a need to keep you busy that's when you should be worried. As a programmer, I tr

What works for me is I know a lot my weaknesses. I have a low attention span, get bored and sleepy when learning hard things. So I literally close myself off from every distraction in a quiet place, where I can also nap...read as much as I

Sean Carroll mentions something to the effect that we are just part of the measurement. I personally feel more comfortable with that explanation as it seems detached from the human need to feel special.

Hmm, you can also try to pretend you have one on yourself and laugh joker-style looking up then talking to the ceiling, making sure the volume of your voice was uncomfortably loud and inappropriate for the setting you are in. Its not like t

That is a great point about distraction and not feeling as though you truly are a focal point. It will get very odd if something like neuralink comes into play where the person just gets ideas as if it was their own while they are talking t

Social ticks such as frantically tapping the side of your head, will be normal when someone tries to "remember" your name. I thought it was weird when people were talking to themselves with bluetooth on or walking into a street si

Is there such a set of rules/traits that are being defined to be maximized? I remember Elon saying to "maximize human freedom" as a goal but I could be out of context or misquoting.

My experience with microservices has been just a shift in worries. I don't worry about scale or ssh configs but I rather worry about cloudformation and cloudwatch or billing impact. It has also been some challenge to get testing locall

It seems there could be some correlation rather than cause as parent attentiveness or nurturing behavior is more beneficial in general in terms of lowering child stress and providing a feeling of being loved or taken care of. A positive env

It sounds like you are in the wrong job. You are a creative thinker and deserve a better suited place for your type of mind. It sounds like you are in a prison of boredom. I would recommend working remotely and have a work machine dedicated

There is a ton of work to make abstractions seamless or mundane or taken for granted.

Before I had a programmer job when i was younger, i completely 100% empathize with her in having those types of thankless jobs and constantly being tired. I can't imagine being trapped in that going forward. I bootstrapped my situation

The cab/bed ratio is off IMO, should have a bigger bed to look more truck-like regardless of the future styling.
