Quantum physics teaches us that at the fundamental levels of physics, reality itself is probabilistic. Probability distributions collapsing to discrete locations aligns nicely across LLMs and quantum mechanics.

If you're inexperienced you have no bookcase at all, going from that to a rickety bookcase is an enormous improvement. (Perhaps this is why some devs dislike it, perhaps they place the quality of their work very very high)

Similar to quantum computing, a probabilistic model when condensed to sufficiently narrow ranges can be treated as discrete.

It's just weird that it's this complicated. We should get a static IP from our DNS. We should use standard open source streaming conversion mechanisms. It should go over basic video codecs. Lately I've been working towards ju

Wasted time should not be defined as unproductive time, it should be time you did not experience, time you were completely clocked out, not even enjoyed, not relaxed or relished. Wasted. It is a subtle difference but critical to remember if

Perhaps this makes a very big difference to you, but I often have to remind myself that iTunes movie rentals are very much alive and function just as they do some ten years ago. No subscription required. Not physical, sure, but a normal ren

The event one seems perfectly fine with a dictionary or even a class that wraps your events and pairs with an event object subscribers can attach to with a singleton attribute.

Rather than picking at the examples like other commenters, I very much agree with the diagnosis, which is that you do not want to pick someone who will protect your baby. That is a babysitter. You want someone who will become a parent of th

People used to and still say the same thing about GPS. As these systems mature they stay up and become incorporated into our workflows. The implication in the case of GPS was that navigating on your own is not a very critical task anymore.

Personally I feel that their emphasis on privacy by design was a very winning marketing strategy. Not sure if it played with the general pop.

Good thing almost all of programming falls into the former. Most of the economy runs on well defined languages. Billions and billions of dollars.

>I'm sure people noticed this issue internally and brought it up but some thing by some designer was seen as biblically sacred and overruled all reason. I disagree. Seems more like the group that implemented border radius at the OS

My two cents on this topic is to create short term, superficial incentives to help create the practices that yield the long term incentives. For me this is paying extra for a gym with a hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge. Now I derive relaxati

My understanding is that a big appeal of sports gambling is that it adds stakes to entertainment. So instead of casually watching the game you're much more invested. Given this angle, I don't think the majority of casual sports be

If you cannot understand what made Apple successful then or today what makes you think you're not failing to grasp something? You head right on to making an argument when nakedly revealing that you can't comprehend the other side.

Completely agree. General intelligence is a building block. By chaining things together you can achieve meta programming. The trick isn't to create one perfect block but to build a variety of blocks and make one of those blocks a block

I imagine it must feel like that. The reality is that engineers are blasé with data and have been since the personal computing revolution. Legal frameworks are incredibly irritating and often defined by people who know nothing about what th

So your argument is basically that he is just very smart and good at being a disruptor therefore any questioning of his ventures is doubtful because he is successful at previous disruptions? You really think that's a valid argument? Or

That's an appeal to authority. Either make an argument for why his reasoning is good or don't. But don't appeal to someone's reputation. That being said, I do think what the parent commenter is missing is that those othe

I honestly think there is some place here to be anti tech. Some things, the things closest to our humanity, like love and community, are not all that better with technology in my opinion. Sure, you can stay connected with a family member or

Geography still dictates some things in the diversity of the experiences it imparts, though admittedly much of our technology exists to insulate us from that stuff.

The true issue is that many middle and upper level managers are sycophantic and short term incentivized, while valuing loyalty only really shows its benefit over the long term. If you're leadership is always trying to have a green numb

The issue I think you're outlining is whether someone builds because they believe in their product and its value or if they are profiteers charading as believers. I'm not saying profit isn't a factor, but a lot of these found

That is exactly what is happening to Reddit. Made famous by its submitters and moderators. Business decision driven by metrics based on view counts because that sells ads. Let this be a lesson: metrics are not the only way to measure succes

Once we are aware of these neural pathways I see no reason there shouldn't be a watcher and influencer of the pathways. A bit like a dystopian mind watcher. Shape the brain.
