It's about time. I've been waiting to give these people my money for a decade.

Jokes on them, that's a free $12/month since I barely use my phone and never have sex.

Wait... somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but GPT-3 is a language processor. This isn't narrow AI like copilot where it's just probabilistic determining "Users like you may also enjoy closing their IO handles!" This

> I've not used Scrivener myself but as I've heard it described it is as a tool to organise chapters / parts of a book and sort out their relations, how are you using LaTeX for that? It doesn't really do that though.

by trhr 4y ago
I dropped Scrivener for LaTeX and have never been happier. Obviously, Word is a bad choice - it's not really built for publishing - but I do like the long form single-file approach. I use LaTeX's ability to write comments as a way

Besides the doorbusters, they had limited stocks of rare items too. It'd be like if Best Buy had a sale two years ago on Nvidia GPUs at 40% off retail. So you had the scalpers in the early days of eBay fighting with the parents who nee

I'm guessing you're under 25. Before you were old enough to have money, Black Friday was goooooooood. I used to pick up 100-packs of CD-R and DVD-Rs from Circuit City for like $10 on Black Friday. That was like a 60-90% discount.

In other words, "Free speech doesn't always help so free speech can never help." Look, we're not gonna find common ground on this. We'll just have to build a new, decentralized internet, and then you can keep Facebo

It's not derailing, you're just too interested in playing political football to understand the worldwide implications of these platforms handling moderation. The U.S. Constitution grants some of the strongest guarantees of free sp

I edited to remove this, because it detracts from the point, despite the fact that the Supreme Court has specifically ruled that ALL hate speech legislation in the U.S. is unconstitutional. Whether or not "nothing of value was lost&quo

Yeah, you can stop supporting censorship. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit et al are modern censorship platforms. I know that saying that violates liberal dogma, but it's true. You could probably even go so far as to say cancel culture is a c

I just don't trust the assumption that the world's leading forestry science experts and a perfectly run government could manage a forest. There are unknown unknowns. It's an ecosystem that's way more complicated than we

Actively managed forests sound good, but be rational. Are you willing to risk several hundred years of the region's health on the government doing something right? We know that natural fire works. It ain't pretty, and it can be da

Interviewing is outside my skill set, so take this with a grain of salt, as it's just the sort of question I'd like to answer: "We have an application that needs to run inside a vehicle, which means the power will be killed a

I've been writing code for 30 years, invented three algorithms, have managed engineering teams and been trusted with half-million-dollar tech budgets, but because I don't have a C.S. degree, I rarely get into a final round. Maybe

We need to stop pretending that developers are liable for the idiocy of users. There was a time when you could publish a book on how to make a pipe bomb and nothing would happen to you. Now the wrath of the government descends on you as if
