I find it's easy to scroll past very sloppy posts. And 1 in 2 posts are genuinely interesting/teach me something new about the world and the people in it - how people conduct business - and most of all their improbable trajectorie

Am I too pessimistic, or did anyone else notice the fact that you got everything you wanted with 'the only other asian guy'. Race matters in friendships more than we realize? I feel if it was a gym full of asian people (or a neigh

Are there any open source projects like this?

Tried generating a 6-month plan to upskill in VLSI programming. It was pretty useful and helped lay out a comprehensive roadmap using different sources and projects to try. Also tried generating a 6-month plan to upskill my guitar playing.

Musk has basically discovered that you can ignore existing laws, since by the time lawyers sue and courts order injunctions, it'll be too late and too expensive. Especially when lawyers can argue against basic facts like "Musk doe

30000 hours seems like a lot, more than enough time for anything you might want to do. More than that, there might be enough changes in technology and the world that something you learn in the first 100 hours might not matter in the last 10

Another complication - H1Bs are valid for 6 years. However, the physical paper stamp given on passports is only valid for 3 years at a time. So if I chose to stay in the US (and not travel internationally) I'd be fine to continue worki

How about Discord? Or reddit? Would those be limited to kids as well? You can be sure that even if FB/Instagram were to ban kids, there would be hundreds of companies jumping in to scoop up all that teenage DAU.

Even if Facebook implements these controls, what guarantee do we have that another social app won't come along without these controls? Do we regulate TikTok, Youtube, Snapchat, GroupMe or whatever the latest flavor of the month is as w

It's especially bad because I don't really remember my passwords, so I always have to reset password when logging in again, and that refreshes the dev keys so my terminal git push also stops works - a complete PITA.

It's like saying, I hope the new pop music trends that all the kids are listening to dies out, and 80s rock becomes cool again. It just isn't gonna happen.

Thank you, so many people make this typo sometimes I question myself if 'scrapped' actually makes more sense.

When you click a tweet that is part of a thread and is several tweets down from the top, it goes into that tweet's page. Then when you press the browser back button, it should (and used to) save the scroll position of the tweet you wer

So I guess reddit is still closed.

This could be a great use case for chatGPT/GPT-4 - help understand and maintain open source software in perpetuity.

That's a great idea! Take me back to my best life - 10 years old spending my summer vacations playing RS with my cousins.

Why not 99% or everything above $300k? Are you saying you couldn't live on less than $2M?

The first use case I could think of was a AI trained on my team's codebase. So that whenever we face an oncall incident or unexpected crash, we'd have this AI partner (that has been finetuned on all of our code / logs /

Parent was definitely a chatGPT comment. The 'However' in the 2nd line, the neutral and unbalanced tone, and overall the informative and well constructed paragraph without any grammatical errors or personal ego - you'd identi

I get a feeling that the twitter mob/vigilante journalism unleashed upon the FTX meltdown story may not entirely be accurate. Obviously something bad has happened financially, and people and emotional and angry. But we have to give our

Probably because there's a lot more material and detail about computer science online that it would be regurgitating. You can be sure that someone has already answered whatever CS-related question you are asking it verbatim - all it do

Perhaps in the future the company would not be adding any new models or require optimization of any new surfaces, so they don't expect to be spending enough on new initiatives to justify optimizing them. And all the existing initiative

Start a part-time masters online or at a local uni. You'll meet plenty of motivated people. Btw, you might find that most people are motivated by money, not by the love of science/tinkering.

I've heard of some of the famous viruses which are obviously more complicated than what I mentioned. But that's the difference - they are hardcoded to perform these particular steps. I'm not saying AGI is the code that does t

How about a simple example - train a model on outputting code which: - scans open network ports through google dns - copies itself and the model to that location - whenever it detects a sigkill or file delete, scan again and save itself som
