Since before LLMs were a thing I've thought em dashes (at least outside of fiction) have a kind of irritating, business-casual feel about them, since they are simultaneously informal but also fussy in a way. That also describes exactly

It's time to give up your silly cynicism, embrace being a professional slop shoveler and doing work with higher volume, more repetition and less creativity than ever.

The first time I ever went out with a zoom lens after starting with just a 50mm prime, the amount of creative power and freedom I felt really opened my eyes. Without having to worry about focal length you can actually compose with the naked

I've seen someone on this site comment to the effect that if they could use a tool like dall-e to generate a picture of "their dog" that looked better than a photo they could take themselves, they would happily take it over a

But in a cash game, if you're properly bankrolled (a common number people recommend is to have at least 40 buy-ins worth of cash set aside for the stakes you're playing), the one buy-in you lose if you lose an all-in is relatively

I worked part time as a dishwasher for around 6 years in middle/high school, at a restaurant with no machine, just three sinks and a huge counter. It's definitely a good way to get into the restaurant industry, but also a great wa

IIRC they even use multiple different wordings and layouts for this dialogue, depending on what "mode" of Paypal you're using (e.g. if it's a pop-up or if it's a full page redirect; I dunno how to describe it techni

On the other hand the most popular way to play shogi online is an app called Shogi Wars, which has the most explicit pay-to-win mechanic I've ever seen: there's a button you can press to have an AI play out your next few moves for

Well rating scales don't have any absolute meaning, only that which is attributed to them either by the reviewer or the audience. On any aggregate review site the scale of the aggregate score will take on its own semantics, which is th

I think the machine code–level understanding is what's important. We can, in theory, put a person in a Chinese Room–style scenario and have them manually perform the code, and it will generate the same outputs (It would probably take m

Abstraction works because you are able to treat an abstraction as a black box and concern yourself only with its input and output. A segment of code written by an LLM is qualitatively a very different thing; it's more like an open box

I think you're correct about the two statements not being completely independent, though. In both the shorts and backpack examples the second adjective is meant as a corollary of (or subordinate to) the first. タンパン（は）よくて動きやすいぜ！ or このリュ

Not only is Rick Rubin's mix brickwalled, it's also riddled with clipping because he didn't even brickwall it correctly. It's one of very few albums I find unlistenable merely because of the mixing.

My favorite part of this web design is how sentences are broken up across multiple "slides," so the first half (or third, or fourth) of the sentence disappears when you advance to read the next portion. Very reader-friendly!
