Or measles

No, it doesn't. Different algorithms can vary pretty wildly in performance based on the design of the hardware they run on. For instance cache sizes can make one implementation of …

On the bright side, you could live much longer if you went near a black hole. Though, that's according to everyone else's reference frame, not yours. Also, the gravity probably wou…

Luck of the draw that they weren't lizard people on pangea, making that prediction.

Supermassive black holes are generally at the center of galaxies, like a tiny yolk in an egg. That's not a hard rule. For instance, they can theoretically be ejected and make a mes…

Interesting that you use the phrase "quality vs quantity". Normally, I think of precision being on the side of "quality". As in, you carefully make a thing to meet a certain standa…

Some people don't want to use cloudflare on principle. Like that putting the whole internet behind cloudflare or AWS is a bad thing, in principle.

Or just have an LLM write the same thing for next to nothing...

I just tested out chatjimmy and a bit and it did some misinterpretation of my prompts, E.g. "write me a python script to generate insults for a name given by command line" had mult…

Right. Gentle reminder that tuna has dangerous amounts of mercury in it specifically because of humans burning coal , not because the ocean was always so polluted.

"Common sense" might also mean "do the simple thing" which, given how cheap it is to invest in renewable energy sources like solar farms, and how much room we have to build daytime…

There is no meat proxy subverting discourse. There are just a bunch of dumb disinterested people in the way of a real community.

Don't spread ignorance like this.

This is a weak argument but I hope you develop it into a better one.

Yeah, a proper mini NES would just be a dongle that attached to a cartridge. It's not hard to make an NES equivalent. It's kinda weird that people want these "authentic" things, si…

Fake, boring, non-accomplishment.

> Are these people cooked? Yes. This is a weird kind of denial about the LLMs that cost nation-state levels of energy doing human nerd work. They aren't perfect at all, but there's…

Blah blah. Software engineering is now prompt engineering. I'm not sure what the point of this article is.

The example I always go to for oddly unsuccessful games, (good at least, I don't know about excellent,) was Super Monday Night Combat. It was something like Valve's Deadlock, a 3D …

I understand what you're saying. I hold a different view of what is well made or not. Commercial success isn't the only measure. I believe dark patterns detract from the cultural v…

What makes it obvious to you, that LoL is well made? Userbase? Is candy crush obviously well made? Perhaps it is well marketed, more than well made?
