I travelled to Argentina around this time and, plane ticket aside, I used Bitcoins for everything. I bought BTC from localbitcoins, travelled there, paid for my stay and some meals in BTC (there was a website that showed restaurants and caf

Given the cycles for Nintendo consoles this sounds pretty reasonable particularly now that they have a single line of consoles with the Switch instead of console + handheld. It's not like the Wii U sold a lot. Who knows if the Switch r

A language model is not a human. You at least have the possiblity that the human learned something. The language model is a parrot with a large memory. That said Microsoft didn't allow their kernel developers to look at Linux code for

I thought so too but it bothers a lot less now that the default style of iteration is "for x in y" instead of looping over indices. In fact I barely think about it. And, yes, for math-y stuff that you are going to be reading off a

Fortran is a case of a language that has grown below the trend of the industry. There are probably more active Fortran projects and developer now than at any point in history. But it became a smaller piece of the much larger pie so people t

People are way overvaluing this thing right? AI "art", prompt "engineering". All I see is people with too much time throwing words at a parser without understanding what it does until something sticks. And the result is

Yes, it was possible to observe, and many people did. In fact, it drew a lot of interest and there were usually many observers per ballot... in big population centers. But it is also incredibly hard to make sure every counted vote gets obse

I only use Genie slightly to add a simple UI to my projects - I'm no web dev. Time to first request is as terrible as you would expect, but one can then dynamically iterate on a running interpreter by changing and adding pieces, and th

Curiosity about its glow and artificial origin aside, the most common fish in Brazil is the tilapia, which is of African origin. Whatever changes this new fish causes are likely to be a fraction of what that fish did.
