Yeah, probably not the best strategy but it is a strategy. I just think this is generally how most wars in history won. Biggest army to just pummel the enemy.

isn't it more like: i have 1000 bits, i transfer 1000 bits but depending on the person, it might be lossy, so they only understand about 700. they then come up with the 300+- on their own, potentially putting them over 1000 or they come back and ask questions to fill in the blank. the bits don't ever have to be bit identical.

ah, if it's anyone it'd be dan abramov

wow totally forgot about nearlyfreespeech. so glad they're still around. wonderful host.

Ah, also Newgrounds

How do people mentally price things. I'm on the fringe but I'm willing to pay $60 for a AAA 60 hour game that I'm positive I won't finish but am find if I get 6-10 hours out of it.

I love reading Gwern. This seems like a really ambitious project, but guaranteeing some of these things like trustworthiness and security behind a private company is a bit sus. Later on they make military use a selling point for GA. Maybe I'm a bit of a cynic but the division of USA values are increasingly dividing each year. Assuming that our values and principals today will not be the values and principals of tomorrow. And that those values taught today (or even yesterday) will be left out of the context window tomorrow.

EDIT: tbh, some of this reads as satire now.

For all of these things, then what's the point of having a humanoid robot then? The last thing is a folding laundry bot that I would happily also pay $1000 for.

What is the true purpose of our existence?

Yes, but they won't say that. Instead they will say _too Chinese, too communist, too national security-y_

I use Claude at work and burn tokens at a regular rate on a huge monorepo. If I'm using heavy skills, these burn up pretty quickly.

At home, I have a pretty simple project and pay $20 for Deepseek which has lasted me more than 2 weeks with pretty heavy usage.

I know my cost at work is something like $500-$1000+ per month, and I have found negligible difference with a $20 Deepseek usage based pricing.

I think the meaning is that because we can see success with KRAS mutation of pancreatic cancer, we can now begin clinical trials for other cancers that may have KRAS mutation (colorectal, lung) and see if there is success there. If there is success in treating other cancers during clinical trials, it could be fast tracked through FDA to be more generally available and then become part of the national treatment option (ideally in 1-5 years after clinical trials).

was just thinking how I'd like to have multiple chat boxes like for AIM vs a tabbed experience like with all chat clients now

I am slightly reminded of Gattaca, the story of which is that certain people are discriminated based on their DNA. Society is built, in general, excluding certain people due to their disabilities. Whether or not a blind person can find meaning or enjoy life has road blocks but is not impossible. Science can provide technologies to potentially improve people's lives -- cochlear implants for those with hearing loss, for example. There are ongoing philosophical discussions of whether or not these technologies and scientific discoveries are actually harming or helping those with these disabilities and the broader discussion of 'normalizing' society at large (I don't want to use the term eugenics).

I've always been very interested in these types of games. Grew up playing Neopets which was inspiration to becoming a software engineer. Am interested in gamified aspects as well. The thing I've not quite figured out is how to make these types of games _actually_ addictive? Neopets had a lot going for it IMO. Would love to know if this is actually working for you (and maybe others) personally and why.

I know we're getting deep in the meta discussion but the free will that you're describing involves basically starving to death. Sure, you can walk away but unless you're well off, we all basically live in the same society that makes sure you are ALWAYS dependent on some kind of wage. You cannot live off the land, build housing, or eat food without some kind of income in the modern world. And thus the concept of wage slave.

The post is about a scientific study and your response is your opinion with nothing else to back it up?

except that it only allows summaries behind paywalls. in many cases you never get the full article

i feel this totally ignored the point of infinite input space. you only providing 3 scenarios and eye balls rigorous comment is either hilariously patronizing or ironically self aggrandizing.

Agree with you and your responses in the threads elsewhere.

There seems to be a point of contention amongst the terminology for anybody with autism. Someone with autism might not see themselves as having a disorder. But there are certainly very high needs autistic individuals. Apply a whole spectrum of people as being "developed wrong" and you can start to see ableist language.

I appreciated your metaphor about cars on a highway -- and that there's something wrong with the highway, not the car. I thought it was really simple and clear and I think I got the point you were trying to make. And even if it the highway isn't wrong (it was made for cars after all), we should at least extend it to support many types of transportation.

Masonry grid layout was one of a few interviewing pair programming tests I would give to frontend engineers. I need to see how this works under the hood!

Didn't really come off as design-y or antithetical form and definitely not manipulating lol, maybe a little poetic or artsy fartsy. Agree that it's important and deep.

i think there are internationally recognized lawful terminology that several institutions and countries recognize that permit the use of "act of war" and "terrorism". but at any given time a country _does_ act of war/terrorism, they likely would deny claims of terrorism if it was recognized as terrorism by said institutions.

This makes me so happy. I love, love, LOVED StumbleUpon. I was actually just thinking how I'd love to rebuild it.

What an amazing career. RIP.

UX matters when doing art = pen, paper, paint.

But UX does not matter when experiencing art. OP is entitled to feel nit picky and pissy and a critic because of the normal way they experience the web. It does not mean his critique matters.

Not the first time Japan has done something like this[1] and I honestly welcome it. It's not a strict rule, gives people flexibility to at least talk about it and disagree with little consequence. Another severely online commenter mentions protecting peoples privacy and exploitative practices but we're wayyy beyond those types of conversations. Limiting online-ness in a gentle way that's not gonna piss off a bunch of people and get the feels for it seems to be a very Japanese thing to do.

why is it red?

Does partly wrong imply they can both be partly right?

Regardless, within the current system (which is not based on theory and based on reality), we combine these elements, and neither seem to directly benefit certain industries depending on who you're looking at. If it does, these policies may not benefit everyone.
