How do people mentally price things. I'm on the fringe but I'm willing to pay $60 for a AAA 60 hour game that I'm positive I won't finish but am find if I get 6-10 hours out of it.…

I love reading Gwern. This seems like a really ambitious project, but guaranteeing some of these things like trustworthiness and security behind a private company is a bit sus. Lat…

For all of these things, then what's the point of having a humanoid robot then? The last thing is a folding laundry bot that I would happily also pay $1000 for.

What is the true purpose of our existence?

Yes, but they won't say that. Instead they will say _too Chinese, too communist, too national security-y_

I use Claude at work and burn tokens at a regular rate on a huge monorepo. If I'm using heavy skills, these burn up pretty quickly. At home, I have a pretty simple project and pay …

Agree with you and your responses in the threads elsewhere. There seems to be a point of contention amongst the terminology for anybody with autism. Someone with autism might not s…

Masonry grid layout was one of a few interviewing pair programming tests I would give to frontend engineers. I need to see how this works under the hood!

Didn't really come off as design-y or antithetical form and definitely not manipulating lol, maybe a little poetic or artsy fartsy. Agree that it's important and deep.

i think there are internationally recognized lawful terminology that several institutions and countries recognize that permit the use of "act of war" and "terrorism". but at any gi…
