    This is true hypothetically but doesn’t quite work to produce good puzzles like say in Zanagrams without sufficient heuristics/constraints

    To play devil’s advocate, intuition is still a physical response to stimuli mixed with knowledge of past experience. Hypothetically it could be modeled- the problem here comes down…

    Apple still doesnt give you the right dimensions for a page that switches between portrait and landscape.

    I’m not sure if it went anywhere but I remember there was this attempt at one point called Sudolang: https://medium.com/javascript-scene/sudolang-a-powerful-pseu...

    I also worked on a number of Flash projects in its heyday. I agree that there aren’t really any close equivalents to its feature set today, but there are some tools like Rive and L…

    Compilers dont test, or rather, they test a very specific and narrow set of things relative to what youd want to test to maintain a working program

    Also, but rarely: Some engineer wants it bad enough that they just build it -or some version of it- and then some executive gives the go-ahead to invest more into it. At the end of…

    I agree- what’s the difference between error correction and a full tick? At what point do you draw the line on error correction? Extrapolation is often used to mean extrapolating v…

    The main reason to prefer interpolation is that your fixed time step function does not need to operate on variable time ever- removing a complicated dependency. For instance, modif…

    Sure but the first mover advantage is there and now they are known- not necessarily the company but the product for sure. Hitting such a milestone is far from assured and Anthropic…

    The fatal flaw in this analysis is that ChatGPT, Google, Meta, Microsoft have way more mindshare on AI - nobody outside of tech circles has even heard of Anthropic. Painting this a…
