I found this comment very insightful - and it's interesting to see that it is downvoted even if there are zero replies trying to make some counter arguments..

It’s a great question. As soneone who has been fascinated by Wolfram Aplha for a loong time (and might or might not have thought about cloning it), i think that growing up i ended up realizing that Mathematica in the real world just doesn’t

Suuper cool! I agree with the other commenter that having more scientific fields would be very interesting as well. Maybe you could filter them by topic

That’s what i though as well > Why apples fall, why planets don’t wander off, and why we aren’t all quietly drifting into space every time we sneeze. Newton didnt really explain the why.. Einstein added something much later, but it might

Interesting! How would you say your project compares to Arroyo?

What do you think of the Burn framework? (Honest question, I have no clue what I’m talking about)

To be fair- I was agreeing very much with both parent comment and yours, until your edit. I loved Euphoria. > graphicness - Was it graphic at all? > how big everybody's feelings are - Were their feeling that big? > It se

A difficult quest indeed, but not impossible. Sometimes teams like this do exist. You know the ones. They founded the trillion-dollar companies you hear about and became billionaires themselves

I have a few questions - Is this inspired/based on the Blender node editor package? Some stylistic choices look very much taken from there, even if some other details (eg font) look much more primitive - If it’s not based on that, why?

I think what you are referring to is the concept of “finetuning”. You use a pretrained network and add a (relatively) small set of new input-output pairs to steer it in a new direction. It's widely used, you can look it up. A more chal

Right? I don’t know about this post (and comments) discussing this quote from the western point of view only, ignoring the fact that this is the whole basis of- and arguably explored much richly in- the entire western philosophy

Every time I read takes like this I think people forget why big brands exist? Small business (or “lifestyle business”) vs big brand is often framed about being high quality vs cheap price, because in practice it often is. But in theory th

I think exactly the same. This is what sounds most reasonable. I wonder if we are (again) just carrying over some preconceptions about how humans do things, and instead Agi will come from a completely different direction..

Wow.. Really great work, finally someone is doing it! Since I've thought about this for a long time (I've actually even made a very simplified version last year [1]), I want to contribute a few thoughts: - cool that you have a V

And yet.. I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment. Unfortunately, the obvious economic incentive to effectively paywalling code through the Internet, is so strong that on this very website (that was supposed to have hacker mentality) m

They sure as hell have no incentives to make Neural Network faster and more accessible, for starters.. (Considering they right now make more money and have more control, the less accessible and the more computation-hungry AI models are) To

Genuine question (I'm not American): How much do you think this was intended? On one hand, I really don't want this to sound like a conspiracy theory. On the other hand, it is well know that in the Us, the Media is tightly control

> Human systems invariably seem to become oligarchies That's what I'm saying.. We seem to agree here :) > Only via regulatory barriers (..) can a monopoly be built. This is, to me, an absurd idea. There are a lot of other

I have a counter argument: Monopolies drive the cost of items and services up. (besides having all the other negative effects that are always caused by a huge concentration of power in the hands a non-democratic institution). And as we see

OH boy does this arricle resonate with me! I didn’t grow up in a religious environement, but both the mindset you grew up in, and your personality, could very well be me. I’m stll very much struggling with this, btw.. I *KNOW* paying for so

For what it's worth, here's my worry about this: - Micro-fees for the web are a good idea. Because "If you don't pay you are the product", etc. - BUT, they HAVE to be micro-fees. Because of the fact that, EVERYONE u

3d touch is NOT simply "faster to respond". The whole point is that, it enables a whole new type of interaction, that is: press to get into cursor mode -> hover over a word -> press again to select it . This is simply impos

Honest question.. Why? I’m always thinking that a db that can also run business logic would be the ultimate backend solution for crud apps. I know there are several options to do it, but I always assumed Postgres did not support it. What d

I agree with the Functional style part, but hardly disagree with your second point. Because of the fact that, keeping comments over blocks of code in sync with the code below requires the same exact amount of effort (arguably less) as keepi

The other comments are right in saying mobile gaming is huge. But, if you are referring specifically to the new GPU with accelerated raytracing, I want to add something more.. Remember that for many years now, every innovation that Apple ha

This sounds great and exciting! Since it was explicitly developed as a pgvector replacement, i feel it would have been useful to have a more in deph comparison though.. - what does it do specifically to achieve the speedup, other than rust?
