This looks like a realization of "benevolent self conscious AIs agreeing to cooperate with mankind to do great stuff". Often in these tales, there is a hidden cost to it: the AI ha…

Hi! That would be super useful indeed. A couple of things you could sort out: * Responsiveness; the page should adapt to mobile phone screens, at the moment it doesn't seem to: the…

Can't wait for GPT to prove that P=NP (or not)!

Wow that doesn't sound great. We won't own games anymore, we won't be able to sell/acquire used games, we won't be able to play disconnected. I'm curious whether Nintendo will be f…

Sincere apologies, I mixed ibuprofen and paracetamol. Ibuprofen is forbidden for pregnant women in the last 4 months in France at least - and by "forbidden", I mean "strongly advis…

Interestingly, lately, I find myself totally unable to do "nothing" -- to be unproductive by the description given in the article. The perspective of spending 1 or 2 hours playing …

Why oh why is that a backslash!? Over the 9 languages mentioned: 5 languages (inc. JVM ones like groovy and kotlin) are using `$`, 1 language (swift) is using `\`. `\` is a pain to…
