I'm not trying to detract from the OP's point but if the author turned the lens they are using to evaluate whether AI videos are harmful or not onto the videos one usually encounte…

Others pointed out the value of silence, but I just wanted to say it saddens me when humanity is misclassified as inefficiency. The other day Sam Altman made a jest about how much …

What makes it an "envolved" ecs?

I think it's a good point and I experienced the same thing when playing with SDL3 the other day. So even established languages with new API's can be problematic. However, I had a d…

I tried that with work. I created an account where I can just follow a few things related to my job. The problem is that reddit will start showing you things you didn't subscribe t…

You're right, but I don't think giving a dollar to gifted programs instead of intervention for struggling kids solves that problem. In fact if a kid is gifted but is struggling bec…

I appreciate what you are trying say. I'm having a hard time believing it because I was one of those kids. The only thing my parents gave me was access to books, technology, love a…

> Or by disrupting the rest of the class. Kids that are struggling in class can be just as disruptive. > Gifted kids in a single stream classroom need to learn to play dumb or beco…

It's just the truth. Look at the boeing dreamliner failures. Hundreds of smart people doing a bang up job. It just took one a few missteps to jeopardize the whole production and pe…

I don't believe it. Almost every kid in America has access to the internet, a public library and a teacher. How many don't have access to any of those? That's a different problem.

> This is definitely not true for poorer gifted students: I don't think that's as big of an issue because kids have access to teachers, libraries and the internet. > Gathering gift…

She makes some good points, but my take is that we in the 21st century are more bound to the success of our weakest links. Our world has become so complicated, one small mistake ca…

> If anything, it appears that neural networks are far further along than any quantum mechanism for approximating whatever "consciousness" actually is? And neural networks are abso…

> happens more at runtime Bingo, that's the difference. That's why I said "compile-time memory safety". This is what Rust gives you for your trouble, zero (runtime) cost for memory…

No, sorry, it's not https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.8.0/book/references-and-borrowin...

I'm glad you found something you like. I just want to make it clear that the things about Rust that make it "unfriendly" are also the things that make it able to do things other la…

> The order of execution of the recorded commands inside a command buffer is NOT guaranteed to complete in the order they were submitted: the GPU can reorder these commands in what…

Imagine being a researcher from the future and asking this same question of the AI. The safety concern would be totally irrelevant, but the norms of the time would be dictating acc…

Fennel has a form `assert-repl` which will drop into the REPL wherever, if the condition fails. For writing games you can launch the REPL in the game loop if a keyboard button is p…

> [Fennel] also lacks Common Lisp's debuggability, given that it sits entirely within Lua's runtime. I'm not sure exactly what feature the OP was referring to. It sounds like they …

It does have a screen for output. In they demo they showed it displaying a stock graph. As for input, I suspect elucidating your desires verbally is a muscle that is developed, lik…

It's not a complete waste, every engineer you employ is one you don't have to compete with, which matters for big tech companies. Also, employed engineers can be mobilized to react…

The comparison of the accomplishments of one entity versus the entirety of humanity is needlessly high. Imagine if we could duplicate everything humans could do but it required spe…

The metal shell is ridged though, so the volume maintains the same with the vacuum. A rubber duck collapses with a vacuum inside of it, thus losing the shape of a duck and reducing…

A rubber duck with a vacuum inside (removing the air material) of it is just a piece of rubber with eyes. Assuming OP's point about the rubber not being less dense than water, it w…
