it's great, even though i'm bad at it. "45,485 · top 95% of players today!" is such nice way of saying that:

The complexity is certainly awesome, however there are all kinds of "free lunches" that we can take advantage of here, I'm paraphrasing (and glazing) Mike Levin here - when you wor…

lovely, but needs sound and an altimeter. i went flying over NZ, the controls got really laggy, hence the chaotic experience... https://filebin.net/jltba21fn87ea5pm

yes, this is the author: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Ries

Coming from the blockchain space, but wanting to build something with bright patterns, while also using DLT and crypto, has been painful, to say the least. I would like to know how…

tell me, where in this piece is there any acknowledgement that the technology, if used well, can bring people together? show me, and i will accept there is nuance

> what most people understand to be "AI" most people understand it to be an LLM, but that doesn't make the term mean only that. the point was illustrative, perhaps Meta's attention…

I really love it when people put spirit into a piece of writing that, thanks to an algorithm (that's another name for AI, by the way) suggests it to me on HN. I am pleased that I c…

the author is not describing the world. they are describing their experience of it. classic mistake, and quite an anxious version of it. it's not wrong, but it is tangled in the wa…

thanks. i really enjoyed it

We have CNC machines, and we still have sculptors. Mechanising the production of code is good thing. And crafting code as art is a good thing. It is sign of a wider trend that we n…

thanks for helping people to lie

I love the idea that we believe that we can replicate all of the natural processes involved in getting a tan, and to such a precision that we can then speed up the process 10 fold,…

you forgot the logic to strip the final digit and assign it to v. processing the whole number is absurd

Counterpoint, what if it's not

..and most people problems are communication problems. Calling them 'people problem' is a convenient catch-all that lacks enough nuance to be a useful statement. What constitutes g…

This piece feels like an AI-generated effort because it’s not so much an exploration of leadership challenges, but rather a series of surface-level observations that lack depth. It…

My idealistic part says that a combination of AI-driven technical orchestration (much more than just coding) and orbital/langrange manufacturing facilities could, perhaps, get some…

the clustering isn't surprising? are you saying that it is an artefact of the higher level representation? special - perhaps not by itself, but when the same strategy is also expre…

trouble is, i'm more engineer than mathematician, so while i appreciate that this is an entirely solvable problem, assembling it from scratch would likely mean many errors, and les…

Taking it a step further, how would simple algorithms behave when viewed in this way? Rather that just the outcome, we could observe a possibility space... Michael Levin has talked…

My first thought was "how can i do this in 3d and walk around it in VR?" I can do the VR part - any chance you can share the algo, so I can get the machine to lift it? I can imagin…

when he asks you about his new idea for an app, just pretend you didn't hear him. if we all do it, eventually he'll leave

are we allowed to have any colours, though? but really, every person i've seen who "activates" a lifestyle like this one only ever seems to wear black. i suppose it's the choice of…

different kinds of inaccuracy
