Haven't read Heinrich's latest, but his Why We Run (also known as Racing the Antelope, for weird reasons) is an amazing book.

If that’s true, then you’ll need to be careful to decouple the phrase “it doesn’t understand” from your predictions about its behavior. I think most people who say it doesn’t understand intend to imply a deficiency of capability, not just a

The Peace War is ambiguous: it leads into Marooned in Realtime, where civilization has disappeared, and the remnants that were sent forward in time don’t know why. It could have been a civilization-ending catastrophe, but not necessarily.

It seems inferrable, at least in broad strokes, from the other, non-technical meanings of the word. See for example "the court is now in session" or "I had a physical therapy session this morning".

I addressed this above: "... because it's applicable to Sowinski's work [meaning middle-distance pacing], far more so than your own pacing for the longer races."

Not necessarily! Leading is more tiring, especially at a fast pace. Even if you are the fastest athlete in the field, and know it, you can still lose by wearing yourself out at the front. So for some runners it's as you say, but for th

It's important to distinguish between the Breaking2/INEOS pacing (with a rotating team of pacemakers that drop in and out of the race) and the pacing that has been allowed in every world record (pacemakers that start with the fiel

One lovely little thing: since everything is a buffer, autocomplete has more to work with. Specifically I'm thinking of hippie-expand's `try-expand-dabbrev-all-buffers`, which just uses all buffers as sources for 'expansions&

sounds like you're talking about a specific company, or is this just a general Slack thing I've forgotten? by 'forced' do you mean they aren't able to create channels at-will?

I'm pretty sure that's just how the badging system works. Amazon is orders of magnitude too big for 'everyone has access to everywhere' to make sense. When I traveled I sometimes had to talk to people (or send email) to

Those 70k wouldn't all be on the same channel. Even at a small company you might want to have distinct channels with different purposes - maybe #sales, #sw-engineering, #announcements. A 70k-person company might have a few large channe

Those are cool properties. Another one is that you get a compilation error if your recursive call isn't in the tail position (and thus would actually grow the stack when you thought it didn't). One thing I don't think you c

Tail call optimization can get you that, too. If you've written Scheme and/or gone through SICP you might be familiar with this: you write a recursive function, with the recursive function call as the last thing the function does

Per the README (and the source code), requests to GPT are cached. I know that doesn't solve the stability problem, since the cache is keyed on the exact prompt among other parameters, but it's something at least. The source code s

I disagree. The utility of short names is not just that it takes less effort to write them. They're also far easier to read and understand. IDE autocompletion doesn't help with that, nor does any other tooling, really. Since code
