Yeah I mean I just asked it how to make a million bucks off of memecoins and it gave me an extensive list of memecoin investing tips to make sure I didn't end up as a bag holder. The only thing I'd trust it for would be explanatio

I did something like this for a project in a class almost two decades ago. The project was to make a system that would take a bunch of students' schedules and produce a list of teams that optimized for shared free time. I started with

That is true. I think a guy wrote a book about this in the 19th century.

When it comes to skeuomorphism, this really is the last stage in the precession of the simulacra. First you have the original thing based in reality (writing todo notes on paper). Then you have the first order unfaithful copy (skeuomorphic

When people can't be legally held accountable, then why are you surprised that there are those trying to hold them accountable via extrajudicial means?

My experience with ethics classes is that they usually just teach you good ways to justify whatever you want.

Kant predates analytical philosophy and some of its failures (the logical positivism you are referring to). The idea here is that first order logic doesn't need to be expressive enough to model the world. Only that some logic system is

Python has far more options for this if you use some of the newer typing features. For example, it now (as of 3.12) automatically detects covariance and contravariance when you are dealing with generic types, which has made subclassing much

When a vision for a better future is foreclosed, so the option of rising to meet a challenge is off the table, the only thing you can do is stop yourself from looking like a loser is to eliminate the challenge altogether.

Yeah I'm here because reddit's programming community became unusable in the late 2010s but especially over the last few years. For example, I'd see a post about CockroachDB and every single reddit comment would be some low ef

I tend to avoid that one because of the tokenization aspect. This popular one is a bit better: "Alice has N brothers and she also has M sisters. How many sisters does Alice's brother have?" The 7b one messed it up first try:

It really depends though. Even in something like knot theory, that one might consider to be a very "pure" area, there's still a lot of computation involved that can be automated by computers.

I came in here to see if this had been posted already. deBoer does a much better job at talking about it in a comparatively neutral way. He only adds his two cents at the very end. Another good one that gets it even closer is from Sam Kriss

It works well in NYC because it's hard to justify driving anyway. The transit system is just so extensive. But somewhere like Atlanta, Dallas, etc.? Absolutely not. It's just a vice tax levied on poor people who are already not ha

I'm aware of the is-ought problem with my statement, but my point is that that is the role calves play when we want cow dairy products. The problem with it as it exists today is the barbarous nature of factory farming.

The "bicycle for the mind" goal, and the Steve Jobs quote that inspired it, is really just another restatement of McLuhan's idea of media as being extensions of man. The bicycle (or wheel, more generally) is an extension of t

I didn't realize "agent" designs were that ambiguously defined. Every AI engineer I've talked to uses it to mean a design that combines several separate LLM prompts (or even models) to solve problems in multiple stages.

Can anyone here who might know more than me explain the difference between dependency injection and the author's suggested pattern at the end? Is it just the same thing? Seems like that's the most common way I see to isolate exter

I don't think it is necessarily true that the hero fails, or that he finds vitality in it in Kafka's work. In The Trial, our hero refuses the struggle (the opposite of vitality in it!) and gives up, dying "like a dog" in

Do you think someone pointing out how bad the uprising in Libya turned out is in "a cheering section" for Gaddafi? You do not have to love or even like Assad's regime to be concerned about an organization with past ties to Al
