This was a great essay, and as someone who struggles a lot with hyperawareness OCD, I cried reading it. First on a positive note, the example about attention on sex and arousal fee…

Right, but isn't it a problem that a quine also requires the information contained in the language's compiler/interpreter to be fully meaningful? This would be "outside the univers…

It's an interface in the http package: https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#RoundTripper

kind of amazing really, like speaking in tongues

Right.. this is a perfect example of why government legislation/intervention in the market is needed to some degree.

Definitely. And I've been largely skeptical about overhyped AI promises in the last 5 years. I'm feeling very uneasy and not sure what to make of all of this.

Thank you! This is a great explanation.

Great overview, I think the part for me which is still very unintuitive is the denoising process. If the diffusion process is removing noise by predicting a final image and compari…

I recently was in the same position. Went from curious to skeptical to disgusted by the whole crypto/web3 space. The turning point was seeing my name on the company website, I was …

Thank you for saying this. This attitude drives me insane

You have to be careful because sometimes productivity is just an illusion caused by accruing technical debt that you have to then pay for in time later. With database abstractions …

Dark was infuriating to watch. Visually stunning, great characters and performances, but ultimately an intentionally obfuscated and meandering story that only ends up disappointing…

I see where you're coming from, but tbh the more I work on web backend code the more I disagree with this. I really think database interactions should be made explicit, even early …

Same thing happened to the JS world with typescript (though typescript seems more powerful than python type annotations). Its fine though - I'm glad the culture is trending towards…

Having worked in Unity as a hobbyist for about a decade and considering the switch to Unreal due to obvious issues Unity is currently facing (3 rendering pipelines being the main o…

I had the same exact thought the moment I finished it. After a week of reflection, I think it was a slight overreaction -- the book is still very very good but i dont think #1 for …

Wow, thanks for the link. I might have to give this a shot the next time the FF6 itch comes up.

I haven't looked at the game implementation in detail yet, but in order to verify "This person has found the treasure" is signed with the key for coordinates (X,Y), we need to know…

http://musicforprogramming.net is fantastic!

I was shocked to discover after looking more closely that most of the popular NFTs do not contain the image hash in the blockchain token data, nor do they even contain the URL to t…

Happen to own a juicero? Its a dream to have that on a shelf one day.

Appreciated your third paragraph and 3rd link. I'm struggling with my own articulation about how NFTs dont intrinsically themselves add value and yet are being treated/described as…

Not sure but possibly one of her books? https://rachelbythebay.com/store/

I have the same gut feeling, but have come to the opposite conclusion: Being good with computers will be very low on the list of meaningful skills once things really start to break…
