This was a great essay, and as someone who struggles a lot with hyperawareness OCD, I cried reading it. First on a positive note, the example about attention on sex and arousal feeding back on itself and deepening the experience is well des

Right, but isn't it a problem that a quine also requires the information contained in the language's compiler/interpreter to be fully meaningful? This would be "outside the universe" so to speak.

Right.. this is a perfect example of why government legislation/intervention in the market is needed to some degree.

Definitely. And I've been largely skeptical about overhyped AI promises in the last 5 years. I'm feeling very uneasy and not sure what to make of all of this.

Thank you! This is a great explanation.

Great overview, I think the part for me which is still very unintuitive is the denoising process. If the diffusion process is removing noise by predicting a final image and comparing it to the current one, why can't we just jump to the

I recently was in the same position. Went from curious to skeptical to disgusted by the whole crypto/web3 space. The turning point was seeing my name on the company website, I was embarrassed for myself. Was an easy decision to quit.

Thank you for saying this. This attitude drives me insane

You have to be careful because sometimes productivity is just an illusion caused by accruing technical debt that you have to then pay for in time later. With database abstractions you often pay back this debt once the app reaches even sligh

Dark was infuriating to watch. Visually stunning, great characters and performances, but ultimately an intentionally obfuscated and meandering story that only ends up disappointing you. It's kind of similar to Westworld season 1 or Los

I see where you're coming from, but tbh the more I work on web backend code the more I disagree with this. I really think database interactions should be made explicit, even early on, rather than hidden by ORMs (or overriding a dot ope

Same thing happened to the JS world with typescript (though typescript seems more powerful than python type annotations). Its fine though - I'm glad the culture is trending towards understanding that strong typing saves you time rath

Having worked in Unity as a hobbyist for about a decade and considering the switch to Unreal due to obvious issues Unity is currently facing (3 rendering pipelines being the main one), I'd like to hear more input from the programmer ex

I had the same exact thought the moment I finished it. After a week of reflection, I think it was a slight overreaction -- the book is still very very good but i dont think #1 for me. But something about the way the story took shape and cul

Wow, thanks for the link. I might have to give this a shot the next time the FF6 itch comes up.

I haven't looked at the game implementation in detail yet, but in order to verify "This person has found the treasure" is signed with the key for coordinates (X,Y), we need to know the cooresponding public key for coordinates

I was shocked to discover after looking more closely that most of the popular NFTs do not contain the image hash in the blockchain token data, nor do they even contain the URL to the image! They simply contain an integer (the token ID). Th

Happen to own a juicero? Its a dream to have that on a shelf one day.

Appreciated your third paragraph and 3rd link. I'm struggling with my own articulation about how NFTs dont intrinsically themselves add value and yet are being treated/described as such, and this helped clarify it a bit for me.

I have the same gut feeling, but have come to the opposite conclusion: Being good with computers will be very low on the list of meaningful skills once things really start to break down.

High performance and readable certainly. Not sure why beautiful would be something to strive for though

Right. This seems to be needlessly overcomplicating/obfuscating whats going on.
