To be clear, the money is already being spent, it’s just a question of what we make the priority. Even just keeping the current roads useable costs billions of dollars, let alone the amount of money spent on highway expansion (which, due to

I think it’s akin to a child growing up with technology, and therefore being able to operate with it at an intuitive level. These interns have never not used AI (in the industry), so they haven’t had the “handicap” of traditional developm

Weather data in prediction markets can definitely be gamed. One example that exists in real prediction markets is that the contract specifies a single source as the source of truth. But that source rounds data during unit conversion twic

It seems they finally got past the “final final final” bugfix updates for 5.2. Been waiting for this for a year+ so it’s awesome to see it finally out.

What are the chances that, just like moltbook, the rankings are botted, meaning that not many people actually downloaded the skill. People are more likely to download more popular items, so I don’t doubt that people are affected, but given

I’d be interested to see a satirical concept like this that goes more in depth by, say, having the operational semantics help fuel the satire. When I see things like this, I always feel underwhelmed when it’s just a keyword swap. For exampl

I personally don’t like it intertwined with conversation, but I do think I like how it adds color to help emphasize certain information, outside of the text. A red X or a green checkmark is easier to see at the start than a sentence saying

The word "clanker" is interesting to me in how it anthropomorphizes AI to the point that when I hear it, it makes me confuse it with a person. For a word that is supposed to be mocking of AI, the fact that it actually humanizes AI

It is relevant because it wastes time and adds nothing of substance. An AI can only output as much information as was inputted into it. Using it to write a text then just makes it unnecessarily more verbose. The last few sections could have

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t really see the advantage myself for touch typing. My current style of typing already reaches me 110+wpm, and it feels natural without any wrist problems, and I also can type fine without looking at the keyboa
