Not the root cause, no. I'd say the root cause is reliance on advertising for income because that means that you now need to draw as many viewers/users as possible, and that's why they start to create content which maximizes

That would only be the solution if the problem was bad speech. The problem is that algorithms optimise for engagement and therefore amplify increasingly extremist views. You cannot talk your way out of that position, it surely must include

I still have a few friends who play 2007scape and it looks like the thing to do these days is Ironman mode, which is just "no trading with other players". It's apparently fun in a North Korean self reliance kind of a way. No

Sorry to bring down the level of conversation but this is copium. It won't be reversed, at least not for the next few political cycles. We would require politicians putting the countries needs above their own and that is just not the s

What is the point of a movie if not to entertain? Not all media needs to ask questions about the metaphysical nature of life, you're allowed to sit back and watch Jack Black pretend to be a teenage girl, and that's okay.

Wouldn't it be the opposite: use a character bible to inform what it can actually answer?

It will be almost entirely the same. There is a point of diminishing returns after a certain price point. Higher prices are mostly for enthusiast buyers.

You're most welcome! You'll want for nothing but the great thing about lisp, in my opinion, is that it's /so/ easy to create. A good article on this is The Lisp Curse[0], which argues that its power is a bad thing a

I'll be honest and say that I don't watch people write lisp so I'm unsure of the current landscape. I remember Baggers being the guy[0]. That may be interesting to you. Recently I've watched a video or two of Josh Betts[

The hype phase won't disappear unfortunately. Sorry about that. Especially in finance where most of the effort is geared towards data and data manipulation, it's almost a super power being able to work with live data and live syst

Yes, absolutely. For context, we do stock market analysis but we approach it from the perspective of stock prices being entirely supply and demand, and we're looking for stocks which are about to receive a lot of new demand. We handle

Thank you so much for that! It's something that I'd love to do, especially as there aren't many people using it in production, or at least talking about it, and I think that showing people it's a viable language could be

Tiny world! CCL is used locally for two reasons 1) error messages are better and 2) it ensures that we're writing portable code. SBCL is used in production because it's much faster and it's constantly being updated, so we get

I was /that guy/ at my last place and I agree that it's not well received. Though once I was writing some lisp to fix a problem we were having and I had a developer beside me and he was blown away by what was happening. I thi

Yes, absolutely planning an API. It'll most likely come after the alerts. Planned functionality is still an ongoing discussion so people like yourself will be instrumental in those conversations I assume. Best of luck with the company!

Don't get me wrong, I still believe there is money to be made in crypto. Stocks are different in that there is obviously many different industries and therefore many different reasons to get excited, for example Feetr has been into pha

Feetr is a stock discovery algorithm which analyses momentum, looking for stocks about to increase by a large amount (we hope). We launch end of January but it's free until then and I'd love to be able to get it in as many peoples

This is the last time you'll find me praise Google but the "Screen Call" button has been a godsend for me, I haven't had to talk to a scammer in years at this point. Nobody makes it past the first couple of words.

This is off topic but are you able to go further into how you're doing DNS or is there perhaps a jumping off point that you can direct me to? Oddly fascinated by it and you make compelling points.
