    This is also the message I got from "the wind rises"! Though from talking with other people that takeaway doesn't seem universal -- which IMO is one of the ways to tell it's a grea…

    Don't know why you were downvoted -- I scoffed at that part too. The least we in tech can do is have some self-awareness

    Aside from the rest of the (interesting!) nuanced discussion going on the comments here -- I really like his idea towards the bottom of combining the colors for numbers and strings…

    Agreed! And, maybe I'm missing something, but to me it seems obvious that flat top part of the S curve is going to be somewhere below human ability... because, as you say, of the t…

    Yeah agreed! As you suggest, I've had a moderately successful time trying to get AI to write its own Sublime Text plugins so our favorite editor doesn't get left behind, so might b…

    If you haven't seen it, this "Linux Touchpad like Macbook" project is related, the last/best effort I've seen in this direction. Here's a random update from a few years ago: https:…

    I'd like to read this, but it seems to be behind a paywall? (There is a reasonable amount of the article before the paywall, and since the other comments here don't mention it, I a…
