The biggest thing I've learned from doing stuff like this is that there are no shortcuts. At some point or another, to truly learn something deeply, you've got to dig in to the bor…

Bleh. My eyes glaze over reading slop like this. It's a neat idea to have LLMs argue but something about the writing style just feels gross now...

OP seems to be wrestling with this feeling that LLMs are simultaneously incredibly useful and also leave a very hollow feeling inside, like it's cheating. The redefinition is how w…

We continue to grapple with AI and how it's impacting our lives by trying to find comfort in comparisons to the past, or to other things that we do. But the reality is, there's nev…

I don't even know what Zig is but I've seen this topic come up so many times on this site that I'm starting to think the people who are actually doing this are unsure themselves wh…

To be fair they do acknowledge this directly in the abstract. Kinda hard to have a good heuristic for this stuff, what would you propose?

Thanks mate, I think you hit it on the head: the hardest problems in tech were never really tech problems. They're often people and market problems, and throwing more agents at the…

> I prefer CLI over GUI but I also prefer to have a life over making my life harder. I think this is actually a really profound statement. Many people seem to get caught up in tryi…

The problem I have with this kind of approach is 1) it emphasizes scaling up a much as possible, which I don't believe is necessarily the most valuable thing, and 2) I really don't…

A lot of folks are defending McMansions here, but let me provide one reason why they might be objectively bad architecture: they seek to cram all of the bullet points that home buy…

Since you asked...I've gone to the effort to pull out the parts of the article that I think show it: "That’s the part most benchmarks can’t see, and it’s what this post is about." …

That all makes sense. I wasn't trying to attack Emacs or defend Neovim, for the record. I liked Emacs and didn't have any problems with it (except some window jankiness). I was mos…

For the record, btw, id DID download your app and I am going to spend some time using it. Other commenters here are talking about how spaced repetition isn't what's important, whic…

Codecademy, Mimo, Enki. I'm not going to act like I know a lot about other options, and you do say that fata hits on more advanced topics which these may not. I do think you have a…

I can understand that you want to make money from this, but hiding significant amounts of content behind 13 dollars a month feels a bit much. Especially when you acknowledge that m…

Can you explain more what's wrong with the Neovim ecosystem? I just switched from Doom Emacs to Neovim and my impression of Neovim has been much better. (I get that Emacs has a muc…

Reminds me of the Marfa Lights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marfa_lights

Interesting article, but calling it THE defining aesthetic of our time feels a bit sensational.

To be a contrarian, you could possibly become very famous if you swam across the Pacific Ocean or even walked across Siberia. Not sure on the McDonald's though, might be harder to …

Yeah this one kinda hurts.

Incredibly misleading title, practically click bait.

Yeah this is what I do. This article feels like crazy overengineering for something that's not really a problem

What specifically about this feels AI generated. It might be, IDK, but I'm not seeing any tells, so wondering if you could expand.

Love it. The grid is cool but I think it needs to be more transparent.
