May this be a cautionary tale for those considering self medicating their depression using ketamine.

That is a very neat idea. It might just work for me. Thank you

Last year around the same time I figured that most of the content we read on social networks could be generated by advanced langage models. I then proceeded to research these models and gathered data on the agents in the various networks. I

The way they hijacked the documents folder to sync with a limited space onedrive in a non revertable manner is despicable. The fact that we get only 5Gbs for an OS at this price is a disgusting anti-consumer practice. The way Microsoft kee

Sounds like you're depressed and automedicating. But alcohol will only make you more depressed in the long run.

It is very impressive. Personnaly I'm still waiting for the unification of QM and GR. Also the adaptative nanobots that reconfigure our immune systems in real time.

It's just that it's painfully obvious to think this way when your brain is built the right way. Then it's just a matter of having the right environment to unleash your work. Most people just don't have the brain for it,

Here's what works for me : - An SSRI treatment, because generalized anxiety doesn't usually go away on its own. - Heavy schedule compartimentalization. - At least a moderate level of daily physical activity. - 9 hours of sleep. -

What a poorly written article. This reads like the ramblings of a paranoid schizophrenic: No point, no argument, no conclusion.

Spaced repetition works great for me. Especially because it binds well with a pragmatic approach of professional learning : if I encounter a problem multiple times it is worth it to learn the solution to have it quickly. If I only encounter

Then we would have to build a computer that generates the questions. Let's say, a computer the size of a planet..

Constraining the electrons apart would require a very serious insulator. The muscle would just arc between its two ends. To make it work you have to distribute electrical potential along all the "motor". Just like biological muscl

Their progress is astonishing. I've been following it for a few years and their research is barely starting to reach the mainstream media. He will get a Nobel for sure. These are wild discoveries, maybe one day regrowing a lost arm we

Well these are the kind of problems you only have to solve once. There are advantages too : tech workers are less expensive in France than in the US.

Thank you for the problems I am looking for them! I keep thinking we could manufacture and send the sails from the moon. This would require a semi-automated production line and I have no idea if this is even remotely possible with current t

There is an idea that is keeping me up at night. What if we could launch large sails to the L1 Lagrange Point to reduce the amount of radiation that reach the earth by only 2% ?

That's pretty cool. Imagine a world where as a software you just have to get the domain model and the architecture right, feed the knowledge graph to the transformer and let it generate a codebase. We can dream!

Authentication should definitely not be coupled with authorization. The only link between the two is an user ID. AWS very much decoupled authentication from authorization with Cognito and it works very well.

But the Linux kernel had Linus Torvalds who acted as a dictator. We can argue he did some kind of technical management there.

As someone who does not live in the US, it is often discussed in my social circles. To us, it appears that this cultural propaganda is a political necessity to stay far from communism. The cultural conception of the extent of the free-will

A lead developper would realistically pull 75K euros a year. Rarely more.

This might be the right time to dust off the pirate hats. I share my account with my family and my girlfriend and there is no way they would all subscribe to a new account.

So, just some basic: HTTP implementation, TLS, Render engine; JS API, V8, ... ?? I'd say that is a big piece of software already.

It's great to see the whole chain of "speech to text to model to text to speech" in action. The huge amount of computation that has to be done shows in the delay during the API calls. Before this is actually usable in a game
