Reality TV in Japan is pretty nice. People mostly just spend time driving around the country talking to random people and eating tasty food.

Sometimes they vary the thing and do it overseas.

Since I am currently using AI to make a game engine, I feel like I am sort of qualified to say something on the topic, and I don’t think it’s really true that AI’s can just roll one out without a lot of poking. They constantly go off on the wrong track and I have no faith that they’d get anywhere sensible without a human steering the whole thing (for now anyway).

But even if they could the best thing they’re ever going to do is reach the sum total of human knowledge. I can’t ask it to think of a novel algorithm to speed up my flows, and even the places where I feed it a literal paper and ask it to reproduce it in a production ready matter are often exercises in patience.

That said, for me it’s better because I like thinking of ideas far better than typing out code for ideas to become reality.

I mean, yeah, but they're mostly the high-school patterns where things started to get nasty. Until 8 or so it better.

I'm not sure if reading material will help as much as playing tag.

I'm pretty sure if you just sit down on the sofa, do not stare at any screen, and do not read any book, and just start counting. Suddenly an hour will be back to an intolerably long stretch of time.

Yes, it is work or starve. But you are going to work anyway. Thinking about the starve component doesn't help you enjoy it at all.

> I am sooooo glad that time of being subjected to the will of others is over.

I mean, I am absolutely glad about that.

I'm not so glad that I'm now subjected to the will of others on a far longer time horizon.

I think this is often related to the 'getting' not really being a challenge any more in a lot of cases.

Can we make a game where it is possible to go faster than the speed of light? :P

That's basically the reasoning behind MAD, and it checks out? See what happened to any nation that ever gave away their nukes.

But we all know that is code for 'something wonky happened, and it wasn't me'.

Yeah, but not so much that it's not relatable.

This is why it is perfect to have two brothers and a brother-in-law. We can at least get the four of us together to do something. Pretty sure we could manage 8-12 with friends, but none of our houses would be big enough.

I've seen this so many times, and every time it makes me smile. Especially the 'how the hell did we manage this' section.

This only matters to people outside the EU. Since most of Europe is in or deliberately out. It’s hard to care too much about that.

Ooh, here come the others. I'm sure there's more people working on this same thing. Probably mostly a matter of how ready we are to release something. Nice to see it coming out of the Netherlands though.

I think the hardest part about working on the same thing is to not immediately post it when you see other products in the same space pop up.

Well, I’m glad I’m not using my google account for much any more.

Is OpenAI the only one that allows this? Because Codex without codex is fantastic.

Easy to say when you didn't grow up counting Pluto as a planet. I still feel a bit depressed every time I tell my son "And there's... 8 planets in the solar system."

Because apparently sometimes between the moment I left elementary school and he went there, some dudes decided that Pluto didn't qualify as a planet after all.

If you actually build a binary protocol you'll quickly find that, unless you do very big worlds, 5 KB/s up/down goes a very long way.

I mean, it’s a thing in pretty much all lower level software that you want it to be fast. I guarantee you postgres and redis are trying to optimize the software to the cycle, because wasted cycles are wasted for all their users.

Everytime I see kids in daycare they seem overjoyed to be constantly surrounded by others to play with. I’m not sure if I buy that it could ever be negative.

When they get to later ages they start having an opinion, but until around 6’ish? I’m perfectly happy to believe it is not right for some, but I’m pretty much convinced it is good for the majority.

If we have the debate about AI conciousness backwards, does that mean we should be worried about humans losing conciousness instead of the AI to gain it?

Yeah, all those 1100 commits per second. Like, is this the standard for 'scale of traffic' that we're impressed by these days? And it's not like this snuck up on them. The graph shows a very consistent trend that gave them months and months to respond.

8000 dollars for a 16TB harddisk? At that price point I can load out two full PC’s for the price of a single disk, even at these inflated prices.

> In my personal experience, nothing actually bad happen when you take your time to do your work

Historically, no. But historically we didn’t have computers that could do my ostensible job 50x faster than I can.

I think right now I love my job. I can work 5 times faster and explore all the little things that I never had time for. All my side projects suddenly come to fruition!

But I have never been more anxious. I have a hard time sleeping, I constantly feel the need to keep up or fall behind. It didn’t use to be like this.

I think, at this point, most people in Europe broadly have the same language as their second language.

> Overall proficiency: According to data from the European Union, over 43% of the total EU population speaks English as a second language, making it the most widely spoken non-native tongue across all 24 non-Anglophone countries in the bloc.

Nah, it should either become one, or dissolve, but this half baked shit definitely isn’t it. I’m sure it’s good for the bureaucrats though.

They manage to do it for 50 states in the US just fine. It isn’t exactly rocket science. It’s just that individual countries in Europe all feel like unique little snowflakes.

Don’t wait for objections to an obviously dumb rule at all. Save us all the trouble and don’t implement it?
