People like you are rare. It seems like with the ever increasing scale of mechanisation, we are seeing an increasing detachment from everything that makes us human.
I fail to understand this line of thinking. How often are you restarting the browser that this makes any significant difference in your productivity?
The author says to "work on boring problems" but I think what it really boils down to is knowing why you are solving a problem. Just picking a problem depending on how hard or easy it seems is a research mindset. Of…
What didn't you like about it?
That looks very hacky. Is there a reason for this limitation that you've found makes sense?
You can unify the purist (1) and the ex-nix (3) into a single label: the emotionally attached.
I'm glad to see this sentiment more vocally expressed lately. It's certainly nothing that hasn't been said before, but I think that reality hasn't caught up to the frustrations faced by knowledge workers. Imagine…
When you say emulation, do you mean at the logic gate level?
I would caution that it's a matter of priorities. Currently, statistical/data-driven approaches work best, and that's what you will be expected to use whether you are building your own products, or working for an…
Great content! I wish I had this as a beginner. It would have saved me so much pain and time lost in the depths of google search results.
I see this sentiment expressed in almost every venue of discussion, but I never see a concrete plan, or even steps we could take right now to progress towards that future. That's why I'll always remain skeptical about…
I've read the article and frankly I don't have the expertise on LLMs to discuss whether it lands on something worth investigating further. What I do notice in the comments here though, are: 1) People nitpicking about…
There's a great book by Culadasa: The mind illuminated. It covers a lot of what ancient meditators thought about the practice, but the essentials can be found in the first chapter.
I'm not trying to be snarky here, but why is the saturated fat in regular whipped cream bad, assuming it is not consumed in excess? This seems to be the main selling point in the article, so I'm genuinely curious. Any…
I was a bit put off by the introductory chapter where he is using a lot of nonstandard terms such as "abstract species/genus" rather than the usual type theoretic treatment. However, take that as the remark of an…
I'm not sure why this was posted. It's aged terribly and I think we can all agree that sidestepping constructors for init functions is basically C++ without the ++. Not sure how that's any different from writing in C.
Two counter-points (appreciate some counter-counter-points :): 1) The discrete sequencing is an epiphenomenon. The underlying processes are continuous changes in voltage and current flows. (I'm not sure if Planck scale…
That's really interesting. doTheThing(readFromUser()) What does the compiler do in cases where you have strings coming in like this?
Let's not pretend a weekend hobby text editor is anywhere near the feature set of VSCode.
Beware of muscle imbalances on a pushup-only regimen.
I feel you. This is my biggest critique of the so-called "woke" language. Perhaps their intentions are good, but I fail to see how hiding behind inclusive language does anything to change the reality of the lives of…
I think there is a middle ground. You can give a bird's eye view of the way things are done and a hand-wavy intuition for why they are done that way. Analogies go a long way towards building the latter. Then for those…
No need to be snarky. It could be new for someone just getting into the field.
Sorry, I didn't mean to downplay the value of using concrete examples. I absolutely agree that everyone learns better from concrete settings, which is why my original comment fixed the parameters for people to play…
Why is everyone complaining about people finding floats hard? Sure, scientific notation is easy to grasp, but you can't honestly tell me that it's trivial AFTER you consider rounding modes, subnormals, etc. Maybe if…
