It’s also likely that having grown up surrounded by journalists and people working for newspapers, his education allows him to properly write articles as a freshman. That doesn’t prevent him for learning computer science if that’s what he l

To be fair to Jung, most of what he wrote is barely coherent garbage with zero experimental backing and an attitude towards intellectual honesty and scientific integrity which I would politely qualify as problematic. Sorry, I think it had t

It’s an init system and a process manager. How exactly can it be fun? Technically, I guess it’s interesting to design if you are an expert but as a user, having to use creativity is the last thing I want from low level pieces of my OS. If

Probably the first Spelunky but Slay the Spire , A Short Hike and Disco Elysium are close. Honorable mention to both 80 days , Stardew Valley and The Witcher 3 .

> the original but better Better story but less interesting and easier combats. I know of at least one person who loved the first mostly for the gameplay and got bored very quickly with the second. Both incredible games anyway.

I have only played Forbidden West and it’s the most mediocre experience I had with a video game in the past decade. The gameplay felt clunky with weird spikes of difficulty in the middle of otherwise fairly boring segments. The main plot wa

Do they? Considering how much was at stack in term of PR when OpenAI released ChatGPT, I would be surprised that Google didn’t put out the best they could.

Please read the article before commenting. The problem is not how hard it is to run clinical trial. It's that made up data is an endemic problem. It doesn't matter if clinical trials are hard or easy to organise when up to a quart

I don’t need to assume anything. Gwern isn’t an anonymous poster. His bio is in his profile and he is indeed American. First results are in by the way. Second highest results for the opening weekend of a Ghibli movie. I think they will surv

Vim definitely was designed and remains an editor first and foremost. The IDE=like functionalities were clearly cobbled together later and it shows, on that we agree. What always surprises me however is why having realised the limit of this

No, it’s clearly not how it works. National scale investment like the power grid are not subject to the same kind of rules that classical investment because the state can and do print money. For all the bad things I have to say about the In

For all the bad things I have to say about the cost, it’s still Microsoft. We have a direct line to them and they are here when you need them.

I’m not sure a somewhat popular author of pop sci-fi novels of dubious quality in the 60s should be held as a guideline for rules regarding safe usage of AI.

That’s why I said average but, anyway, I did my postgraduate in Oxford where most of the American didn’t come from middle of nowhere universities and they were all frankly disappointing in mathematics. My two cents.

I admire your ability to find joy in these things. At the beginning of my career, I once spent a week in a secure facility trying to understand an annoying network bug using tcpdump because we weren’t allowed to install wireshark. The whole

The Inflation Reduction Act in the USA and the equivalent measures which have been taken in China but don’t have a catchy name. Both countries are currently giving subsidies to companies at an unprecedented rate.

The Hartz reforms are fairly famous, yes. It’s mostly social dumping. Forced contraction of actual wages through reform of the benefits plans. It’s important to note that they are overall poor reforms and should have been nullified by the G

And obviously the reason is the lack of labour reform and not the billions in handouts currently given by the US and China which the EU refuses to match because of its brain dead insistence on undistorted markets and fiscal rigour. Ah Polit
