    Sure, but UI needs to reflect that too. I just opened Steam to verify - it definitely says 'Buy {game_name} - Add to Cart'

    Thanks! I don't know if the article OP linked is slop or not - site is plainly inacessible from Ukraine. I find it interesting that they only analyzed texts that mention at least t…

    Serious question: why don't these communities 'succeed' then. Meaning, why don't they keep existing for decades, and why don't more people get interested in this way of living?

    Yeah I think even 2 hours is an underestimate these days.

    Sure, they're just less likely to comment about it.

    Is it even possible to build a team and _not_ operate based on own personal preferences?

    > Gangrel, No. 4, Summer 1946 I never heard of Gangrel magazine [1]. It had only 4 issues total, and this essay was in the last one. Editors J.B.Pick (age 24 at the time) and Charl…

    None of those examples are useful. 1. 2016 was years after Bitcoin was developed. So you could still make 200x returns without being early adopter. 2. Is this even true? I'd bet sc…

    I think it makes sense, since most people don't post anything or at least don't post much. So someone (something) must fill in this void.

    Thanks for sharing. I wonder where AI-generated codebases land in terms of documentation. I bet it starts out okay or even great, but maybe degrades over time.

    Do you mind sharing how exactly it turned out to be a disaster? What went wrong?

    I saw a few web apps that use Rust crates for physics. I guess they must be using wasm?

    I wonder if this is just an example of Goodhart's law. How did they measure performance of those models? I would imagine they tried measuring against known cases of forms misuse, a…

    I am not sure about legal side of things here, but a Kaggle dataset would be really cool

    This message on their homepage makes me think author doesn't want other people to read it: > More coming soon. Or not. I don't owe you shit.

    Maybe I can after all! I saw on reddit people complaining about banking apps not working, so I just assumed mine would not work as well. But according to this list [1], the biggest…

    Same for me. I learned about AUR before installing Arch, but went months before installing my first package from there.

    I couldn't find anything about this 24% figure. There was a PISA report from 2022 though, that showed 19% of Danish 15-year-olds are below 'Level 2 reading'. But this bar is consid…
