It’s important to keep in mind that railroads, airplanes, and the internet also caused bubbles. Just because of an invention is useful and world changing doesn’t mean it won’t cause a bubble.

If AI is going to deliver on its promises, it’s gotta do better than that. Learning a new framework or library is the easy part.

These types of projects always look really cool, but I always doubt they will be maintained so I decide not to use them.

This is far beyond what is expected from a 16 year old. Great Job! I see some comments giving you suggestions that I don't agree with. I suggest you keep going.

Are people surprised that the app is written in code that can run on a different computer? Of course it can. It would be much weirder to learn they built an entire tech stack specifically for the device and that it was technically impossibl

“long-term damage to adolescent rat brains” I keep hearing warnings from intelligent people that you shouldn’t trust conclusions drawn from rat studies because they are preliminary and usually sensationalized.

Defining a new class is probably the most Ruby way to do it. There are two implementations that define a new class: rb_heap[1] and algorithms[2]. However, algorithms[2] use a Fibonacci heap, which should technically have better time complex

OpenAI designed safety breaks into their organization that exploded at the first sign of profits.

I legitimately might try this.

I grew up in Oregon, where all the beaches are public. Later I discovered that some people in different places owned beaches, which blew my mind. How can you own a beach? I then wondered why I felt that way about beaches, but not about othe

Really? I can’t imagine people turning off the lazy evaluation. It’s a deep part of the language. You can force things to evaluate strictly, but that’s not disabling it.

I always feel like these discussions are built upon extrapolating on assumptions based on speculation. How could we, a species that hasn’t progressed that far, know what advanced civilizations look like?

I'm sure we could find things for all the people who live there to lower their expenses. But there is an asymptote to how much people can save.

You can’t anticipate a 25% increase in your largest expenses living on that salary. Pets are awesome, and people want to live life.

True. We’ll feel like they are sentient way before they are.

There is an asymmetry here, because, for the most part, you can’t know what it feels like to be an age until you’ve been it. So it will be more common to feel your age or younger because that's what you've experienced. If you feel

Yeah, there are a lot of positives. It's not just about stopping kids from cheating. It's a better system, in my opinion.

Switching to a system where students watch lectures at home and do homework in class was overdue anyway. I think that’s the real way to stop AI from writing everything.

I would switch music providers if they had a client that wasn't buggy. So there is a market for quality software. It's just challenging.

I would switch music streaming services for a client that wasn’t buggy. I think there is an untapped market for a software company that provides high-quality software. Market competition might kick in if a company can pull it off. It's
