Photo or it didn’t happen. In serious, I was sad there wasn’t a photo or at least discussion of the scale and details of the project.

Just one idea for making a positive impact while meeting amazing communities of folks: Invest in early stage climate startups (and not just software ones). They’re struggling and t…

To be fair, the Bible’s authors also seemed to have hallucinated the word of God. At least in cases of contradictions between authors.

This gets at the heart of the problem. It doesn’t produce the wrong tokens. The tokens are right. It’s the data that was “wrong”. Or at least it was weighted “incorrectly” (accordi…

Human brains are also just picking tokens tho. A beautiful illusion of insight and thought in the chaos noise of information. But out of the chaos, the emergence of thought is real…

But humans also hallucinate. And humans habitually stray from the “truth” too. It’s always seemed to me that getting AI to be more accurate isn’t a math problem, it’s getting AI to…

I love the mention of gravity storage here. The potential of gravity storage is very real, but you need a lot of weight and a lot of height to achieve meaningful amounts of electri…

Thanks so much for this link, I started listening and I immediately love it.

I found this fascinating! I found some 3D models claiming to be exact replicas, and I found it VERY interesting to note that the largest hole appears to be an ELLIPSE and not a cir…

I’m sure Trump is thrilled about this since Larry Ellison is a Trump supporter who fund raises for him.

I think what actually happened is that no candidate won enough votes, so a runoff is required. "The National Electoral Commission (NEC) declared a runoff after none of the 16 presi…

There was another thread commenting on the usage of the term "chick" and how it can be interpreted as derogatory. I agree that this term can be derogatory because it can be condesc…

Class action lawsuit? How is it okay that this information is even available from Experian in the first place? I don't think anyone opted in to this. And I don't think there is any…

One of the most fascinating aspects of the video is that the thing rotates. As others have noted, the camera is auto-centering the object. If you look at the object's movement rela…

I was initially very excited to see this post. I have always believed that flattr's subscription/contribution model could be so important for supporting creatives and grassroots ef…

Yup, totally is! My friend James who is a fantastic illustrator inked that one for us.

Thanks! The website itself is not really active, we put it up just for fun. But the community is active. We have a slack channel where we chat, share work, ideas, and support. And …

I would recommend finding a group of freelancer friends so you can build a community and share projects between each other. This is a fun group my friends and I started http://www.…

Yeah do it! I say it's totally realistic. I followed a similar path as I didn't really learn software development until after college, and it has turned into a great career for me.…

I just want to say a sincere thank you for writing this. I hope the whole community will read this with an open mind and understand how important it is to be conscious of these sub…

If you really are afraid of peaceful civil protest in the USA, I'd say that's all the more reason why we have a responsibility to practice peaceful protest now before things get wo…

I know this post might feel like old news at this point. But over the past weeks I've felt compelled to try to put these ideas into words. I think the dynamics of the OWS movement …
