Do you think that this will all function as one giant homogenizing force at the societal level? The AIs will all be trained on the same data, and so will have the same opinions, beliefs, persuasions, etc. It seems like everyone having AIs w

It's not imagination, you're probably just insulated. Many people I know have been looking for entry-level positions for months (the city I/they live in is a tech hub) and are lucky to even hear a "no."

How can one measure the speed of things through time relative to things in their past or future? Can't we only measure the speed of things through time relative to other things that coexist at the same time? I read the article but coul

The medium for gravity is spacetime, as gravity is not a force but instead just a deformation of spacetime. A photon is an excitation of the EM field.

This proves my point, it's so unpopular that it won't happen unless it's automated.

I just read this in two sittings and it's amazing. Wright is a gem, I'm looking forward to reading more of his stuff.

This is a huge deal, I find it so difficult to choose a language that doesn't have sum types and destructuring via pattern matching for the kinds of projects I like to work on (compiler/interpreter implementation).

This is one of my favorite sci-fi books of all time (as you can tell by my username!). It has such deep and original world-building, three-dimensional characterization, an interesting plot, and its conception of the future is firmly rooted

Absolutely amazing, it's lovely to be reminded of the effectiveness of satire once in a while.

Yep, and that's why every language concept should start off as a lisp :)

So many projects that I've started and ideas that I've had have died without ever seeing the light of day because I couldn't say no to the urge to implement "the perfect language" for them. I'm forcing myself t

Makes sense, thanks!

Ah, what does a 0 <= temperature < 1 mean?

by tines 3y ago
I've also done similar, but much more simplistic, experiments, where I tried to trick ChatGPT into agreeing that 1 + 1 = 3, and it wouldn't do that either. I think this makes sense from the perspective of how LLMs work though: the

Yikes, not true. I can't imagine developing anything of significant complexity with Lua. Also it hasn't been all-capitals for a while.
