Anywhere is where exactly? I've been thinking of where I could use it for like 10 minutes, and I couldn't come up with anything. Maybe a game engine or web services. It wouldn't make much sense for any kind of desktop softwar

Yeah, when people say "dopamine hit" nowadays that can mean anything from serotonin to endorphins to even adrenaline. What they usually mean is simply an optimized experience. Optimized, commodified, industrialized, etc, in a way

Things like hospitals, airlines, 911, should have multiple systems with different software stacks and independent backends running in-parallel, so that when one infra goes down they can switch to another.

I've never seen a program running in kernel mode other than AV software. Pretty sure all stuff you listed doesn't. Asking admin permissions doesn't mean it's kernel mode software.

Necropolis, Ziggurat... Imo the best games nowadays are often those that no one heard about. Popularity wasn't a good metric for a very long while. And thankfully games like "New World" and "Starfield" are helping a

It's interesting thing to explore when you already have a nice big picture, but overall it's quite misleading in case of genres (or whole branches) which author is not much into.

I think you get the wrong idea. What he basically says is that scientists mostly do science because they enjoy doing it, and everything else he says is a consequence of that. People in general tend to gravitate to activities which they enjo

I'll just save some quotes here since I really like them: > Kaczynski likened science to a “surrogate activity” that is “directed toward an artificial goal that people set up for themselves merely in order to have some goal to work

Oh, so it's just a type alias for readability. Then it makes sense.

by ivxvm 3y ago
Idk, I think it's extremely statistically rare coincidence for nominative typing to be a better default than structural. In other words, it's much more useful (by default) to have some function work on more types than be a little

Not really possible, because Record and Map aren't compatible at all. At best they both have something like `toString`. You'll need to define at least something like RecordFunctor<T> and MapFunctor<T> to make this usef

Another reason is that being a fan of less popular tech is heavily punishing to career and job hunting. Hell, it's quite a challenge to find a job even in React/JavaScript (took me a good month or even a bit more last time, and I&

Are their metaverse developments open-sourced? Wouldn't it be meaningful to just give it to people, probably with a license like GPL? That would be such an extraordinary waste if all that massive amount of work they did so far will go

I think the whole concept of "consciousness" might get old in nearby future. ANNs and brains will get better understood and people start questioning not what consciousness and reasoning are, but rather why they feel their "no

So it still can't write new code according to project's patterns / conventions and "core" library?

Idk. I think the real tipping point is being able to succesfully use external memory so that you don't have to keep everything in your working memory when doing reasoning or solving problems.

Product owner is the one who analyses requirements, decides what should be implemented, and creates user stories for programmers. Currently programmers can use AI to help implement user stories but in future probably AI will be good enough

I wouldn't be surprised if John Carmack combines activities of product owner, game designer, and programmer. In most industry cases, programming jobs are not like this. There are dedicated positions for people who focus on delivered va

That's really a great explanation. Short but detailed, rigorous and visual. Really hits the spot.
