I've honestly found GPT4 to be fantastic for every recipe I've tried. I list what I own, say generally what I want, and say either use what I have, or minimize the number of new things I need to buy, and tell me how to make the th

I've never thought about it this way. Cut off the left side of the bell, rotate the graph by 90 degrees, and you can see that the high-sigma members of the distribution take all the reward and recognition in a limited attention economy

Funny you say that. For Elder Scrolls 4 (Oblivion), the devs claimed to have built something like this. Where all the NPCs had their own wants and needs and schedules, like The Sims. Everyone needed to eat, but not everyone had a job. So so

I was just looking up the profiles of the astronauts selected for the future Artemis Moon Missions. These people have resumés that look like they rolled a 20 for every one of their stats. "America's Finest".

I'm ex-Meta and now at Google and while they have 'hg' as a wrapper around their fig system, it's lacking so many of the Sapling features I am sad and frustrated occasionally.

In a way it has. Just not directly. Everyone is abandoning (for example on iOS) imperative style (Cocoa and UIKit) for React style (RxSwift, ComponentKit, SwiftUI). It's the biggest shift in native UI programming in more than a decade.

The only one I could imagine having had a chance would be Sony. They had a rather well built out OS on the Playstation 3 with lots of modern online features.

And yet, if he hadn't put USB on the first iMac, how many more years would we as a species have had to wait for widespread adoption of USB by peripheral makers? PC makers were perfectly happy to keep putting parallel port and serial po

I'm no aerospace engineer, but the flux through the air, driving resistance, seems obviously higher the more you move away from the shape of a missile.

God knows how I passed 4 years of engineering math without ever being able to describe to anyone what eigen* actually are, but I think that's actually the norm.

It's been 15 years since I was in my EE degree, and I learned all this stuff to the point of intuition. Since then I've been a C-monkey at megacorp and not doing any real math beyond simple geometry. Thanks for tickling the old ne

Heavy Metal ruined the clean perfection of our fancy math devices, you say? That's pretty metal.

What you're describing is our national problem. People are more aligned with either extreme than they used to be (likely due to the internet exposing people to echo chambers), and are less tolerant of "giving the enemy a win"

The social contract in America is different. Many/Most people do not regard other citizens as their brethren who deserve better lives. They are adversaries and competitors. Everyone starts (ideally) with a blank slate and makes their l

I eagerly await a fully ML generated ballet choreography with a dozen participants. Maybe 15 years from now. The super hard problem is driving a robotic body, vs rendering an animation of the above.

I'm pretty sure Scorpio's lair of paradise was inspired by Microsoft in Redmond. In the 90s, it was legendarily posh with how well the people were treated. Nobody in corporate america had that quality of fitness centers, on-site c

Former long-time mobile eng at Meta here: RN is considered by most internally to be hot garbage and very unpleasant to work with. They have 2 or 3 other React-like internal frameworks that most of the apps are made with. ComponentKit is the
