    The acknowledgements section in the paper is so bizarre. We have an LLM thanking individual humans for their contributions.

    For a speedrun you don't care about 100 failed runs as long as you get the world record once. You're basically hoping to get lucky that the computer opponent won't hit you. Obvious…

    Because Donkey Kong gives more speed for exactly the same acceleration. I.e. you sacrifice nothing and gain something by switching away. EDIT: If you mean that Rosalina looks sligh…

    I really don't care about Microsoft's maintenance costs. I should be able to play the game I paid for 20 years from now without having to jump through hoops in the intervening peri…

    I paid for Minecraft and can no longer play it. I'm supposed to be thankful for this? If you choose to work for EvilCorp don't be surprised when you get assigned to work on tickets…

    The AI generated text in the tour is a good clue. But I also don’t think the author is denying it.

    Fun, but suggestion - don't let the nametags cover the piece area. Very frustrating to not even be able to see the pieces because people are hovering their cursors there.

    Imgur decided to satisfy the terms of the UK's Online Safety Act by simply blocking access to the UK. As someone who lives here it's very annoying but also good on them.

    If that happens one time at any company, it would be discovered and reported on eventually, and people would never trust any Chinese model again. The motivation for China is clearl…

    I remember some early posts from him about how he really liked how the debug mode made the iteration loop very short. Here's a video of him doing exactly this - it does look like a…

    Does "companies will cut unnecessary costs" need a citation?

    A more general solution for dealing with complex AWS services is learning just enough terraform to let LLMs do the rest. It also makes it much easier to tear stuff down later as yo…

    Would you allow advertising class A drugs? TV adverts on kids channels for heroin? Your position is absurd, I’m sorry.

    Clear your cookies for the site or open incognito mode. But I agree there's no reason not to let people continue and just mark where they ended "legitimately".

    The article you linked lists a bunch of downsides to powdered sugar: it doesn’t kill the mites it just encourages the bees to brush them off, it has reduced effectiveness when it’s…

    Seems like it's pretty out of date, from the site: Site updated at 2024-03-03 It's a shame because it seems very useful.

    Did you read to the end of that list and then close the article?

    The person who submitted this doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Zachtronics, why are you assuming it’s an ad?

    Listening to the podcast linked elsewhere in this thread, it sounds like he’s not at all reached the level of financial independence to indefinitely fund future projects. In fact t…
