Kings has dozens or hundreds of people who did all those things for them, and more, at their command.

I saw in a public library once, a grocery card swap box. You were supposed to register for a grocery discount card, and then every so often swap it for someone else’s, so your buying patterns couldn’t be accurately…
I think the title undersells the accomplishment. He made an animated button gif that scrolls the entire text of Moby Dick. 4.2 Mb, 19 hours long. Top quality useless proof of concept. 10/10.
People have such trouble with dichotomies. Musk is highly accomplished and has also over-hyped his plans many times. He’s delivered things years late that were also years ahead of others. The actual work of SpaceX and…
So would you want a genius figuring out how to do everything you ask it to from scratch, or do you want to train someone how you want something done, so they do it the same way every time and you don’t have to explain…
I’d argue programming is much less accessible now. For starters “programming” means a thousand different things and where do you even start? My Apple //e came with one language, BASIC, it was built in, nothing to buy,…
The harness that connects to a chatbot, API or voice interaction is the place to route requests to different systems. If you remember the early days of ChatGPT it explicitly said it was routing image generation to…
Woah dude I took a nap and woke up in 1995.
Heh. Link is wrong but here’s the text: Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. For I have delivered into your hands the king of Ai,…
Not to be this way but can you not go to a local jeweler and buy a ring with a lab-grown diamond in it, no assembly required?
AI coughed up a bunch of references that put their stockpile estimate at around a year. Might have been more at one time but nothing close to 100.
Everything you said is why I don’t agree with the idea that “everyone will be writing their own apps.” Can’t wait for a world full of apps as janky as most spreadsheets (or Access or FileMaker databases)
What a cool company. They’ve got the coolest nerdiest things. I’m loving the non-transitive dice. My son’s birthday is in (checks calendar) ten months, but he’s getting these dice now anyway. So cool.

What the American government funds with tax dollars should be chosen by the American people, via Congress. Choosing not to fund speech isn’t the same as prohibiting it. That said, “chosen by the American people” needs…
> Their heuristics is opportunity of action My favorite burglar fact is robberies go way down when it’s raining. Thieves just don’t want the hassle of getting wet.
I sorta recall a game (midtown madness?) that included a Rand McNally fold up street map in the box. The world was so accurate you could give your buddy driving directions by using the actual map to navigate. I always…
“It costs a lot to buy a new computer better than the one I have” is another way of saying “computers aren’t going obsolete as fast” which sounds like a great thing.
I’m curious when AI will be directly responsible for reducing the cost of anything. Not “if you use it it can make you more money” but “real, normal people are seeing a benefit, not from using AI but from something it…
I hope there will always be an affordable paid option that comes with no ads. The news industry’s failure to address this is what ruined journalism. Every publication, whether they admit it or not, judges its content by…
OT: there was a time when I could open my Usenet reader and go sequentially through each newsgroup I was subscribed to, scan the titles, read the interesting ones, mark the group as read, repeat, and in ~30-60 minutes…
Because we’ve been sold the story that your house has to appreciate in value 2-3 times over the period you live in it, consequently, homeowners vote against anything that lowers housing costs.
