I enjoyed Piranesi by Susanna Clarke the most this year. It has wonderful world building that was reminiscent of The Library of Babel. I'm currently really enjoying We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor. So far it's a ver

Every time I see a title like this, I ask myself if I'm not being open enough, if my biases are interfering with any potential progress I could be making when it comes to utilising AI. Then I find out that the content is just more slop

Yeah I think established Facebook groups are probably the biggest hurdle. To me, the benefits of not using Facebook are self evident, but a lot of people don't know about the issues around that or don't care. I think creating feat

For some reason I've been really enjoying stories with endless and well described repeating rooms. Borges' Library of Babel got me started, I have just finished Susanna Clarke's Piranesi - which was so wonderfully described,

Since writing this comment I've given it some more thought and decided that I wasn't being constructive enough, so here's something a bit more positive: Given the issue described above, if we were to add a translation task to

Hey, I hope this comment doesn't bring you down. You asked for feedback with the aim of doing better -- I'm not going to pull my punches. In my opinion, your game isn't performing well because the gameplay isn't very com

I couldn't quite tell from the wording of your question if you want to hear from developers who avoid the use of AI as well, so sorry if my comment here is unwelcome in the discussion. I'm a senior web developer and help maintain

Intuitively it seems likely that alien life would exist elsewhere in the universe, but I tend to favour evidence over intuition, and I haven't read any compelling evidence. The Wow Signal might be the most interesting thing we've

I was looking into a syntax error. It seemed to be taking issue with a line that looked fine to my eye. Copying and pasting the line resulted in the error, but manually typing it didn't. I started pasting fragments of the line about to

Perhaps I'm not educated enough with blockchain to see how it can help with Habitat, but I'll investigate it, thanks. I'll also look into geohashing. I've never heard of it before, but I have been thinking about the issu

Thanks. Decentralisation is the aim. I don't think blockchain will be required though, because lat/long coordinates will act as a route directly between instances. I describe this here: https://carlnewton.github.io&#x2F

Hey, I just wanted to pop in here and say thank you for the work you've done with Tiptap. I was thinking about adding an editor to the project I'm working on for a long time and I just assumed that I'd have to use something l

Ah yes, the way I was thinking of it, I was only considering the variations of one pixel in each position of the image, not combined. Thanks!

This is really interesting thought. Could someone help me understand where I'm going wrong? Because I assume that Sloot made the same mistake that I'm making here, and I'm struggling to understand the Shannon's source co
