PG has had a license to print visas. Fund a company whose founders are from outside the US and they basically get an automatic “genius” visa. This has not gone unnoticed by wealthy parents who, via the usual quid pro quo agreements have had

The copying and pasting of AI output into a chat has previously been referred to as a “slop grenade”. That’s a good phrase for it!

I came looking for this comment, as it was difficult for me to tell from the article what was actually wrong with this person. I am not sure why it’s being downvoted, then again I find claims of helplessness frustrating without a lengthy pr

Anyone with even a passing familiarity with EHR systems will know that nobody wants to build their own. I once worked for a large hospital system that abandoned a decades old institutionally built and maintained system for Epic. The choice

The message overall doesn’t seem especially controversial. I am personally disappointed on what seems to be a de-emphasizing of healthful plant based sources of protein such as beans and legumes, although nuts do seem to be noted more promi

This is fun to read, but from my personal perspective it all seems quite depressing. About half way through this list of stuff I start to think existentially: would I be happy if my life was constructed like the author’s? I like much of the

Ada is sometimes taught as part of a survey course in Programming Languages. That’s how I learned a bit about it.

The answer seems to be given indirectly: they offered him interview prep, fast tracked his early career stages, and paid him a ton of money. No deep philosophical torment, they offered the kid a really good job.

Living in a permanent structure where you can afford isn't as good as living in a gross RV on a street someplace and fruitlessly demanding the government build you a house?

by rus20376 1y ago
apparently the other option, as seen in the comments, is that the government bulldoze the houses on that same street to build a highly dense row of flophouses like I said elsewhere, just move where you can afford. wherever that is, it'

> pay a developer to build them a house I seriously doubt anyone living in an RV has a plot of land in Palo Alto that they are forbidden to develop. Is it just boiled down to the sentiment that you want to "stick to the rich!"

I know I risk getting down voted to oblivion, but I truly do not understand this sentiment. There are plenty of places I cannot afford to live, so I live somewhere I can afford. Every time I hear about a "housing crisis" all I see

100% correct! Larry Wall, the inventor of Perl once said of Lisp syntax "Lisp has all the visual appeal of oatmeal with fingernail clippings mixed in."[1] I would argue that Python is about the same, but without the nail clippings

Yes, absolutely! At one point it made sense for everyone to learn Perl because it was the de facto scripting language for server side components of the, then brand new, World Wide Web. Nowadays backend software development and other Perl ni

You misunderstand. The body does not naturally hallucinate. To get it to do so requires overriding (forcing) the normal functions against their usual behavior with chemicals.

More recent than this article have been failed clinical trials of psychedelics. Turns out forcing people chemically into a hallucinatory state isn’t that effective. To the point of this older article it seems that existing therapies are pro

I am always disappointed in these articles that fail to mention that other forms of AI such as logic programming/intelligent search easily solve problems like the “Einstein” one. Similarly, it is not difficult for genetic programming m

It has been a very long time since I interacted with a webring. But my memory is that the webring link on a page in the webring should take you automatically to another page, not to some main index page which is what seems to happen here. I
