This feels like the opposite to me? The MoT architecture looks like the ideal that the Bitter Lesson alludes to - just take all of your data in all of your formats (audio, image, t…

This is also the case with Google Fuchsia, just replace 9P with FIDL. I'm really hoping Fuchsia doesn't end up just being vaporware since it has made some very interesting technica…

Different bracketing. "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually isn't (true)" vs "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is (too good to be true)"

I think you're technically correct here: if you just have a bunch of Merkle trees where each one tracks the hash of the previous block, it would be accurate to refer to it as a blo…

> One way of thinking about a blockchain is to think of it as a shared datastructure to keep databases in sync. Any time you want to distribute your database over more than just a …

I think both you and GP are correct, but in different ways. It's true that the English language has a very large number of phonemes... but accents tend to regularize/restrict these…

For prices specifically I think it's fair to say that inflation only goes in one direction, but for larger market trends, IMO the key here is _habit building_. Many things were tec…

Broadly summarizing. This is OK and fair use: Training LLMs on copyrighted work, since it's transformative. This is not OK and not fair use: pirating data, or creating a big reposi…

> But fish is too much like bash in syntax, meaning that I just think of it like bash until I have to type "(foo)" instead of "$(foo)", or "end" instead of "fi" Note that fish does…

Nit: that's not what negative reinforcement means. Negative reinforcement is about removing a negative stimulus, like inducing someone to go to a desirable website by improving the…

Quiver was absolutely indispensable when I did a category theory course a few years ago. The UI was clean, intuitive, and featureful. Compared to banging one's head against Tikz, i…

It doesn't always work, but I like the SQLite model: the core offering is free and open source, but enterprises can pay for things like * Professional support, including on-prem ho…

> As my understaning it bring bunch of features out of box, syntax highligh, tab completion etc.? I think this is a good summary. The best thing about fish is that you don't need t…

Poetry has two flaws imo: 1. It's written in Python, which makes it slower and prone to bootstrapping issues. 2. It doesn't manage your Python installation, which necessitates the …

I agree, but the definition alone isn't sufficient to actually calculate eigenvalues. Hence the standard approach which says that for matrix A, vector v, and eigenvalue λ, we have …

> The novel approach taken here banishes determinants to the end of the book. Big fan of this approach! Though I have warmed up to determinants ever since I saw 3Blue1Brown give a …

I paid for Tasker years ago but never got around to trying it. This might be the impetus I needed.

Joke or not, this could be a pretty ergonomic way to read long form content. Currently I rebind my mouse side buttons to page up/down which serves much the same purpose, since scro…

I use a Pixel with the Nova Prime launcher (which is a fantastic launcher) and it can do all of these things except the audio stuff. Individual app audio control is definitely one …

Adding to the other comments, one thing I have heard about projected population decline is that it tends to happen very _rapidly_. That is, even if birth rates are below replacemen…

Condolences to the author, but this is a huge relief. A polytime quantum algorithm for LWE would have been a scary prospect for the future of asymmetric key crypto. (Not to mention…

This looks really exciting - will definitely check it out. Until now I've been using jq with up [0] for interactive queries, but I don't find myself liking up's UX much (especially…
