This looks like a realization of "benevolent self conscious AIs agreeing to cooperate with mankind to do great stuff". Often in these tales, there is a hidden cost to it: the AI has its own agenda, or does crazy experiments with

Hi! That would be super useful indeed. A couple of things you could sort out: * Responsiveness; the page should adapt to mobile phone screens, at the moment it doesn't seem to: the page scrolls horizontally (which is undesirable especi

Wow that doesn't sound great. We won't own games anymore, we won't be able to sell/acquire used games, we won't be able to play disconnected. I'm curious whether Nintendo will be following the same path.

Another take on the matter is: interruptions are inevitable, so reducing the "recovery penalty" is key, and can be learned. That's something that you learn to do when you have a kid: suddenly, your periods of 4 hours of focus

Talking about monetization strategy, there is a world where we would not have to remember "Zillow" or "Spotify", and instead ask for real state or music related actions, and have OpenAI "decide" for us what is

Sincere apologies, I mixed ibuprofen and paracetamol. Ibuprofen is forbidden for pregnant women in the last 4 months in France at least - and by "forbidden", I mean "strongly advised against in a case of self medication"

There is another _shocking_ realization in this work: there are 11 types of people: those who know what binary means, those who don't, and those who say they do but actually don't. "The era of 1-bit LLMs" Representing {

Every way I look at it, Go brings tremendous regression when it comes to "modularity & composability" in the general sense of the terms. Package management, package definition, interface definition, exporting, protecting or hi

By having IO functions taking an argument representing the global IO environment/state and returning it. That way IO functions can remain pure.

The point is not about ignoring them; the point is about using a construction with higher semantics. A loop is a label+goto in disguise. You have to look at what's inside to understand what the loop is doing; you can't get a globa

It's unclear to me: Why are you wondering _now_? Vesting is compensation unlocked after a period of time. It is _meant_ to keep people _engaged_. You shouldn't feel bad for having to terminate someone two weeks before vesting, or
