Impressive feat! Does reddit have rate limiting, or other hurdles in place similar to the hoops youtube-dl has to jump through? Curious what your thoughts are about maintaining a project like that.

I don’t care about games at all. Have never put on a VR headset. But I will likely pre-order Vision for a better productivity workflow. Apple will get the OS right, whereas Meta never had a chance.

Saw that one of my kids had a knock-off named Mystical Magic Orb and wondered if the ridiculous name was designed to work around trademark issues.

It may be a "one-liner", but it's the kind where the engineer had to have broad and detailed knowledge about the system and how it works. Well done!

We eat a lot of processed foods which are softer compared to chewing tough meat for example. This is known to affect jaw and palate development (which in turn affects teeth alignment, tongue position, and even breathing). [1] Seems like it

Time to shut down open source competition and protect that shareholder value, which happens to coincide with national security (i.e. ideological security) interests.

Better to think in terms of percentages. Wages vs GDP has decreased while profits vs GDP has increased. Maybe tech is an outlier compared to the broader economy. Would be interesting to see the numbers.

I got a little microchip. Maybe an easter egg? Put it in my farm although it doesn't seem to do anything.

Seems like a good target. Even 100K seems too small. As a reference point, the Bible is ~750,000 words.

I’ve been using io-ts for this and been very happy with it. [1] It’s similar to Swift’s Coding protocol in case you’re familiar. [1] https://gcanti.github.io/io-ts/

Partially agree with you, but don't stop at appreciating or accepting suffering. What makes us human is overcoming suffering. So yes, don't avoid it, but overcome it. Avoid complacency.

> No CUDA required Nvidia has a ton of lock-in with CUDA. Seems like it could shake up the GPU industry if this takes hold as a standard tool in ML. Also, I'd imagine AMD, Intel, Apple, and others will be lining up at the door to sp

Main problem I have with long grass is that it seems to attract more mosquitoes. I’d actually prefer xeriscaping but my HOA doesn’t allow it.

I said majority, not average, although what I really meant was anyone who is not a professional driver. But seems like you’re making a stronger argument for my point than I am for putting FSD Beta on the road to replace that 5-10% of bad dr

Oh, but you do! Moloch demands it. The GAI requirement is an interesting theory but why? I find it dubious because, at least personally, driving seems to occur semi automatically in my motor cortex. When a car pulls out in front of me I’m n

Would it be unethical if FSD Beta causes 1,000 fatalities but FSD 1.0 prevents 1,000,000 fatalities? Real world training data is needed to get from Beta to 1.0. Seems like you are oversimplifying the ethical decision being made by NTSB.

Agree that “fake it till you make it” is a good distinction to make. It’s also been glorified e.g. do things that don’t scale. But technically, Tesla is “fully self driving” in the sense that it can autonomously navigate, steer, etc. That d

Elon is obviously doing many stupid things but there’s many smart people at Tesla working on this issue so it’s not exactly a complete scam. Isn’t it more realistic that FSD is one of those classic engineering problems where the last 10% ta

Yep, NHL blackouts are idiotic. Hard to imagine they are selling more arena tickets that way.

It seems like Apple is trying to build a “healthy” social media platform (perhaps social experience is a better term). I could see them pulling this off pretty well, and would love if this took away oxygen from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,

There’s at least three factors in play. The prize money, the principle of correcting the public record, and the notoriety of being the guy that correctly called a big bluff. He seemed to win the last two, and the money would be icing on the
