    I see this quote a lot and can never find it in original sources for Aristotle. It seems to be a misattribution from the foreword of Religion and the Pursuit of Truth by Lowell L B…

    I loved the Peter Weir adaptation and was always hopeful there would be more, particularly with that ending leaving it open like that. I picked up the first book recently so that I…

    I agree with a lot of her points but that word really is revealing of her thoughts about OpenAI.

    Large language model is the term for what most people call "artificial intelligence". Bender's point is that labeling everything as artificial intelligence makes it more difficult …

    The market forgives misadventures cause Meta is still solvent and they make money YoY. Additionally, they are developing heavily in the AI space with making Llama available to the …

    The jump is very likely due to AI usage and lack of skills in mathematics. It seems like prerequisite classes are not being fulfilled. "Ranade said students are expected to enter t…

    In fairness to the article, they are saying there is no evidence on how it will affect teens because all the studies excluded the audience that the ban was for. "Not a single socia…

    I think that's fair, the algorithms are manipulative and one has to be very aware of their own susceptibility to it. Everything you specifically mentioned is why I don't go on Twit…

    The old internet was a more homogenous society, social outcasts and technically capable people who liked interacting with computers. The content was more relatable because it was c…

    Phase B clearly says compilation is the next goal. The first goal is to get a like for like logic, the second goal is to get it to compile. Can you guess what the third goal will b…

    Sure, but then how does it change anything around the discussion? You are still running an experiment to port to Rust, it still gets posted, the Rust-heads and Zig-heads still make…

    The branch name is "claude/phase-a-port", there was zero indication this was an experiment until Jarred commented. The more accurate title might have simply been "there is a branch…

    The title is "Bun is being ported from Zig to Rust". The docs/PORTING.MD starts with "Zig → Rust porting guide" I don't think the tone was the problem.

    This entire article is basically saying "What are we doing? What's going on?" and I could not agree more. My own experience with coding agents has been FOMO cause if I don't have f…

    Definitely sounds like it, they’re bringing them into their AI lab. No easy payday, still have to work and watch your agents creation be destroyed.

    I recently turned to list making for offloading all the mental tasks and organizing my life better. Running low one ggs? "Hey siri, add eggs to my groceries list". Random thought I…

    The prices on Ali Express for e-ink are not that bad, but certainly can't get anything as big as the Mira Pro. The Boox premium is plug and play compatibility, high fidelity/refres…

    GPT is impressive with a consistent 0% false positive rate across models, yet its ability to detect is as high as 18%. Meanwhile Claude Opus 4.6 is able to detect up to 46% of back…

    The funny thing about the friends feed is that it highlights for me who is extremely active on the platform. People resharing stuff all the time. And, it's one of the few feeds you…

    When I want to learn code or understand a new architecture, I stick at stage 1. When I want to validate an idea, stage 5 and beyond makes perfect sense to go YOLO. I might have to …
