Here is the pseudocode of MAKER: state = init_state() while state is not complete: state = LLM("You are a helpful assistant. The rules and format of the game is [...]. The correct …

This is a joke. The games that the “trick” AI “wins” are complete losses. The paper authors are claiming losses as wins by changing the rules in their favour to win on a technicali…

"Whereas refined sugar converts to fat, honey typically converts to energy" Come on journalism

"CBRE’s study found that a 500-employee firm renting a 75,000 square-foot space in Toronto would face estimated one-year operating costs of $30,224,259. Only Vancouver and Montreal…

I read Indie Hackers, and it seems every non-technical founder on that site uses Zapier, and Stripe.

Isn't Cloud9 an e-sports organization too? There are two cloud9s, wondering where the Cloud[1-8]s went.

The cars could be subject to vandalism, or at the very least really aggressive driving. The predictability of the driving and the lack of a driver is going to result in weird inter…

I'd rather endure the FOMO when I don't understand its value than lose money when I had my doubts. Feels like it'll be the former for a while...

Yeah, only apply the transaction to the block chain when it leaves their system, e.g. PayPal.
