I'm glad you included it, I have fond memories using Grooveshark :)

Grooveshark, now that's a name I have not heard in a long time

I think that snippet is perfectly reasonable if you are an individual or a small team in charge of the whole stack. This line of code is unlikely ever to change. Contrast this with React+Redux, where the code must constantly change to accom

I hate how cynical and jaded everyone on Hacker News is.

It would look even worse on their part, and there will probably still be a lot of people boycotting Reddit by their own volition regardless of how the site operates.

Satisfaction is inversely correlated with the propagation of genes.

This is an important distinction but it simplifies the situation in my opinion. A 3 year old may only see one cat, but it has probably seen many other things in its life already. Humans likely also have prewired neurology to recognise eyes

It is frightening that we have gotten to this point already.

I had no idea this was a thing, this must be infuriating.

I have increasingly become disinterested in CGI-heavy movies. I have taken to watching more foreign-language films, which seem to still be more interpersonal and grounded in reality. I say this as a person who would usually prefer sci-fi an

This is my feeling exactly, it is a semantic auto-complete. Should/can it write your core business logic? Probably not, but there is a good chance it can infer and suggest logical patterns in implementation.

I'm not sure I understand the premise of the question. What parts of Julia seem to be lacking?

This is actually the primary message I got from the recent Bing announcement and demos. When the new Bing makes a suggestion for a TV, Microsoft wants to have sold those suggestion spots to the highest bidder.

Out of curiosity, what would you say is hardest constraint on this (brain replication) happening? Do you think that it would be an limitation on imaging/scanning technology?

Politeness is an orthogonal concept to truth. The article clearly states that programming philosophies "can be boiled down into a simple statement", and the comment you were referring to takes issue with this.

We can celebrate things separately. One good thing does not detract from another.

I find the idea of a manifesto in software quite off-putting, since it is inherently idealogical. The ideology itself might have redeeming factors, but I think that it is a poor vehicle for conveying ideas. This manifesto is written in the

This book is a bit divisive, but I will mention it anyway. I have been reading "Infinite Jest" by David Wallace this year. While being fiction from the late 90s, I think it predicts some developments in the modern attention econom

The really bizarre thing is that I found myself enjoying this podcast, perhaps even more than the average Joe Rogan podcast. This didn't feel quite as hollow as the average AI-generated content.

I am purely speculating, but the ritualistic behaviour in humans might be an attribute which allows complex multi-step instructions to propagate over generations. Pattern identification is similar in this way, in that a small amount dramati

I can see how this would elicit quite a negative response, but getting an app onto the App Store requires non-trivial fees. Even just code-signing an app requires money that could be better spent otherwise. This money would have had to have

The one thing I did not appreciate with the documentary was how "historic" footage was edited to be 4:3 aspect ratio with artificial grain. This made it look like these segments were filmed in the 90's rather than 2013. I can

I think this is actually the interesting part. It appears to understand some causality in spite of never being trained this. GPT-3 seems to be able to do arithmetic with small numbers, but begins to fail with larger equations. This seems co
