Yep - I like to phrase it as "AI is better at most tasks than most people". AI will still be beat at experts at specific tasks, but in general I find it to be better than me at the areas where I have no expertise. It's the ul

It might be cheaper when internalizing the externalities of CO2 emissions. Once/If we start properly taxing the impact of these emissions, this plane could offer much cheaper flights then fossil fuel driven competition.

Very napkin math shows that annual energy consumption from fossil fuels is 500 exajoules. Every day the earth receives 15,000 exajoules in solar energy. So to cover double the energy consumption of fossil fuels with solar we need to cover 0

At the same time, there's some commonality for what words mean in different contexts. For example, even though we all have our own experiences with the concept of "dog", there's a common core where we have enough of an u

Synthesizers! I like it because it's tactile and immediate, and you're not glued to a screen, but can create fun-sounding beats. Nowadays there are nice, cheapish groove boxes that are perfect for noodling on the couch. I started

One of the biggest recent indie hits, Balatro, was made in Löve! I really like it, the developer experience is so smooth for beginners, just drag a zip onto the exe and it starts. And the APIs are simple enough to memorize while allowing pr

I think this is a very important debate, and I think the author here adds a lot to this discussion! I mostly agree with it, but wanted to point out a few areas where I do not fully agree. > Take away the agent, and Bob is still a first-y

It really reminds me of the movie Memento - it has to constantly put notes down to remember who it is and what it should do after waking up without memory every n minutes.

Agreed! For the longest time, I feel like for most "regular" people (mostly used for web browsing, communication and light gaming) the choice between windows and Mac has mostly come down to price. I feel like this is the first att

I do wonder if there are tasks where 16k garbage words/s are more useful than 200 good words per second. Does anyone have any ideas? Data extraction perhaps?
