"Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence that matches or surpasses human capabilities across virtually all cognitive tasks."

AGI is when it can do all intellectual work that can be done by humans. It can improve its own intelligence and create a feedback loop because it is as smart as the humans who crea…

Instead of generating, exporting or copy pasting just seems more reliable to me and also takes very little time. I think what matters most is just what you're working on. It's grea…

My point is that people making 200k-1000k are closer to middle class than billionaires. So it makes sense to me why they don't group themselves with the billionaires. Anyways, I th…

I have ~50k/year of passive income. I'm definitely not in the same class as people with ~50mil/year passive income.

"const input$ = sources.DOM.select('.field').events('input')" Is there a switchMap in here? What happens if the input element is removed/inserted back into the DOM? "input('.field'…

Pay the 10x developers 3x to join your company. A lot of startups are just groups of very skilled engineers who have identified each other and left a behemoth together to work for …

If someone wanted to sell a new app, they have to get people to recognize their brand and install their app no matter what. Ride sharing companies then also have to reach a critica…

This is why I think it's crucial to find a good engineering manager. He or she takes care of the politics for you and makes sure you're properly rewarded for your work. It lets you…

Somebody's investment doing well isn't a reason to penalize them. Lots of things have had way higher returns than single family homes.

Yea, the `catch` would probably have to set an 'errors' object on the response. The following `then` would then decide whether or not to throw an error based on that. Not pretty. A…

>all savings of people who don't invest in cryptocurrencies are worthless, that fear may be driving a lot of the ICO speculation. There are lots of ways to invest your money that a…

How about the return on PonziCoin everybody missed out on? It's gone up about 10,000% in 2 months. Market cap should surpass global GDP mid-May next year.

Yes, but all the systems put in place to shield fiat from the booms and busts don't exist in crypto. For example, the federal reserve and legislators can manipulate the interest ra…

There are other factors that also push up housing costs. placeybordeaux just disagrees that NIMBYism is the ONLY factor. I don't know if NIMBYism is even the primary factor. For ex…

> "A house in San Francisco used to cost at $100k, now it costs $1000k. What happened was a massive influx of new people to San Francisco." Seems pretty reasonable to me.

I think it's more common among the very wealthy. When part of the appeal is flaunting your wealth, renting is probably not the way to go. I think a 1000k 1 bed condo is comparable …

It's not like driving the wrong direction. Lets say you build 3 systems and only one gets used. You are still getting 3x the experience and your revelations could end up being very…

UBI avoids the step function where there is no (economic) incentive up until the "income floor". Policies like UBI could ally people (politically) of low to mid income.

You're in the wrong place. If anyone was going for readability, it'd just be _.sample(['red', 'blue', 'yellow']). 0 chance of OP's bug, 0 chance of nathan's bug. Understand exactly…

Electron gives you a view process, background process, and a way for the 2 to communicate. The view process is very limited, just standard web APIs. The background process is basic…

That list is actually making fun of what you're describing in the JS community. "Not Awesome" is a play on the "Awesome" lists like this [ https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome ]…

There's a lot of reasons against classes in JS. This list has a lot of articles. https://github.com/joshburgess/not-awesome-es6-classes A common point seems to be against the britt…

When a important engineer leaves, sometimes a lot more end up following. Or at least their team members more open to looking at other offers.
