This isn't true. People aren't logically omniscient. They might just have gone through different thought processes and not known exactly what they were.

People probably aren't going to spend lots of time trawling your GitHub profile manually or perhaps do so at all, so you should at least list the highlights of your projects.

Actually, the EMH forbids this.

Also several essential parts of my infrastructure due to scope creep.

They have a free service so I use it to host Minecraft servers.

@iceb Of course, but this case is interesting because I did eventually finish it after a lot of idiosyncratic delays.

I'm sure I've seen tools like this a few times but I forgot what they're called or whether they still exist.

I meant wk380. I am definitely not a time traveller from the future.

You could just put it on the floor.

It is sometimes worthwhile but not because it teaches you things. Completing a degree signals good things to employers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

@Demolishun Both are filtered somewhat. Most people don't pay attention to things like the feeling of clothing on their body or their contact with their chair most of the time.

@iceb "Real" how? So far as anyone can tell, our brains work the same as the rest of the world's physics. Brain damage and chemical interference can affect your thoughts and perceptions.

@Demolishun Consistency between people doesn't imply correctness - lots of people believe lots of wrong things. Consistency with real-world observables does. NDEs being somewhat consistent between people is equally well-explained by NDEs being caused by similarly failing brain hardware rather than a similar external reality.

Saying that all your perception is hallucinated is (loosely) true (predictive processing etc) but unhelpful. In normal operating conditions, your perceptions are generated from external sensory inputs from a consistent world. The real world maintains coherence in a way hallucinations generally don't. Weird experiences are not great evidence of much because human minds have all kinds of exotic fault conditions.

Actually, the efficient market hypothesis forbids this.

God died back in 1996. This is entirely irrelevant.

I personally use a laptop docked to a nicer monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Buy and install a bigger SSD? 1TB ones are $40 now.

SLI is dead. A few people use multiple 3090s and 4090s for AI.

@Xamenyap It's an unpleasantly simplistic language. Not simple (like Lua, Lisps, base Haskell), simplistic: it lacks a lot of features but still has a lot of weird unnecessary complexity in ones it does have. For years it lacked generics (which people continued to insist was fine right up until it got them), except it sort of had them for three builtin data types anyway, the general replacement being interface{} (dynamic typing) or CODE GENERATION. It has weird special-casing all over the place (e.g. make, for) and won't let you abstract and generalize things. The error handling is simply deeply ugly. Channels aren't a nice concurrency primitive and goroutines are ugly (by default, you probably don't want to just spin off a separate task which runs forever).

I roughly agree, but it isn't really a tech-person-or-not thing. Lots of people, including in tech sometimes, just seem to not read documentation, follow instructions or generalise. It's very annoying.

You could remove emojis, but most.of Unicode's complexity comes from supporting other languages people actually speak, with emojis piggybacking on that, so it would not really help.

Other people have a greater tolerance for that kind of annoying thing, so it's odd that nobody's done it.

CLIP is a machine learning model (technically a pretraining process used on several different models but whatever) which you can use to match images with text. It is very smart and general-purpose compared to previous ways of doing this. I use it for my meme library and such. The problem is that while I can get away with a lot of shortcuts when writing code for myself, something for the average person needs easy configuration options rather than a CLI and some variables in the source to edit, no requirement for a powerful GPU, and to be packaged as one thing rather than several Python scripts with a lot of weird dependencies and a web interface.

Probably mostly myopia, which to my knowledge you can mitigate by regularly looking at distant objects while at your computer, and generally being sedentary, which you can mitigate by lifting (which is "based", see https://reddit.com/r/...) and doing other intensive physical activity. I have no idea if ergonomic input devices actually do anything.

I wrote a somewhat complicated query with mutual recursion and got a "parse error: circular reference". I think I tried some simpler test case and that also didn't work. I did this now and it does indeed fail.

In the sense that they're good and you should use them, yes. Except Go, which you shouldn't.
