If we lived in a sane society, AI would actually be used for good. AI is literally trained on by humans, used by humans. If humans are doing awful things with it, then it's because…

Railroads need repair too? Not sure if it's every 4 years. Also, the trains I take to/from work are super slow because there is no money to upgrade. I think we may not upgrade ever…

Of course they can. Republicans (well MAGA in particular) don't are about hypocracy. They make exceptions for Trump on everything.

This is the thing with AI: We can always come up with a new architecture with different inputs & outputs to solve lots of problems that couldn't be solved before. People equating A…

It's a hypothetical deployment but it's reasonable to expect. These robots will be very valuable, and everyone will want one. It's not going to become a housemaid in a few years. B…

That sounds awesome! However, I don't quite see how the volunteering is connected to your startup.

Reading that line made me cringe. Memorizing APIs come in handy for interviews or perhaps fixing bugs in production but not so much for day-to-day work. Now, math equations or the …

This seems really cool! Unfortunately I can't seem to get the live compiler to work properly. I get this message when I check the JS console: Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'De…

Nice to see someone name drop Bigger Pockets! That was my first big project as a Rails developer.

Is anyone doing old-fashion landlording these days? I'm trying to break into that space, but I have no idea what I'm doing and could use some advice from someone who's done it befo…

> An infinite regression which fortunately does not occur. Even when this regression is finite, it has a name: anxiety.

In my experience I've found that you can automate a lot of white collar work if the rest of the business will become organized enough to make that happen. If they aren't collecting…

What books can I read to, at the very least, attempt address the questions in your 3rd paragraph, given how unique every business is? Isn't anything you find a book on sales or mar…

Reposting is one thing. It's another when it's been reposted dozens of times and it somehow gets voted to the top.

In my mind, this is a feature and not a bug. The greatest cybermancy spells technologists can create are inherently safer than an AI with potential to go rogue. Why do we want to c…

And if you notice, they aren't ignoring Bitcoin's role, they're attacking it! So in a sense, they are helping crypto by admitting Bitcoin's faults and attempting their own solution…

If you're getting bored after 6 months, you might be better off chasing contracts than settling on a full-time job. It can be stressful sometimes, but it beats being a cog in the m…
