This is one of the things about the novels he describes too, and their impact on empathy. Like, you can explain to someone in 3-4 sentences that slavery is cruel but that's not the same as inhabiting a characters circumstances for 500

This sort of a anxious hyper-vigilance is exactly the sort of main character bs you should let go of though. Spend some time with your kids or whatever. You actually can't plan and prepare for a hypothetical war with russia.

It really isn't that though. If you're disparaging normal ass people with jobs and families and lives as "NPCs" you probably should try ignoring your thoughts and feelings a bit because they're probably part of a so

wtf are you talking about. Being a blacksmith isn't pure escapism.

Yeah the subject of the email should be "Action Required To Prevent Data Loss" or something

In this context it would presumably mean not casually deleting your customers' data. When people say a company is unserious they almost always mean that they're not thinking about, and taking seriously, the work that their custome

This is a confusing description of a real thing. They're clearly biasing the models more and more towards long horizon end-to-end software development, which leads to impressive "claude, build an X make no mistakes" demos, bu

I assume they are just passing off AI prose as their own and don't want anyone to be able to tell. Which is surprising for someone who's been blogging for a thousand years. But I don't really see any other reason for this amo

This is moronic. This is like being mad that the slot machine you think is lucky is occupied.

Do employers in the US look at your university marks?

Yeah you can buy it in pretty much every liquor store on earth, it even comes in those little single-slurp mini bar bottles, in tiny bottle stores in broke ass towns at the edge of the world.

My favourite aspect of DK, which isn't changed by this argument really, is that people who reference it very often believe it said that low skill people are MORE confident in their abilities than high skill people, when the authors nev

i don't even understand the benefit of cheating on a college course, unless you think you're going to fail

Yeah that seems like an enormous problem with this example.

"I have a vague concern, so I'm now using a shittier toolchain. You shouldn't do it though." is a weird post format.

Yeah the really misleading part of the screenshots in this article is that it doesn't show the "resize cursor", which basically makes this a non issue. Also, for anyone reading this who hates the general aesthetic, go into Ac

He's using it correctly, in its secondary sense of "belonging or appropriate to an earlier period, especially so as to seem conspicuously old-fashioned or outdated."

It's not a deal breaker for me , but it doesn't sound like a recipe for "winning the console generation".

by robomc 10mo ago
no but the headline is "valve is about to win the console generation"

Yeah I mean... can I play Fortnite, BF6 or the upcoming GTA on steamOS?

This. And when a service goes down it's a lot easier to explain to your client/boss that "half the internet is down" than "our boutique solution is broken so it's just us actually".

To me this kind of sounds like the other side of the same thing. Lunchpail scientists accumulate data within an area of research made interesting by a landmark work by a big name. Future big names make breakthroughs by drawing together a lo

I found out recently that I've been paying for Prime Video since 2020. I think I did legitimately sign up for it. That's not my complaint. But it's fairly scummy how it doesn't seem to send you any email, the payments ha

The tennis example is weird though. I don't think people who are bad at tennis go around claiming they're great at tennis, do they?
