BigParm··on OpenAI and Elon Musk
I think that’s missing the main point which is we don’t want the ayatollah for example weaponizing strong AI products.
BigParm··on Rendering protein structures inside cells at the atomic level with Unreal Engine
People overlook game engines for plotting and data visualization.

You can have your character fly around whatever math/geometry you plotted. It’s great.

BigParm··on Why Toronto should 'be outraged...' over 'indiscriminate' bus stop shootings
We need brutal penalties for heinous crimes against innocents.

People think that’s uncivilized. But it’s uncivilized to shoot people in the street.

Hang them from a tree in front of everyone. That at least sends a message.

I’m tired of murderers being protected and victims being shit on. Grow some nuts.

BigParm··on Writing a scheduler for Linux in Rust that runs in user-space
If we schedule in user space does that make it possible to share compute workloads between arbitrary computers on a network?

Because kernel scheduling has context and different architectures must be considered etc.

BigParm··on Ask HN: How do you come up with side project ideas in 2024?
If I lived ten lifetimes I would never run out of things to build. Each project suggests five new projects along the way.

It’s harder if you think about building for the masses. It’s easy if you think about building for yourself.

But yeah everyone gets creative block sometimes when you’re not on a roll already.

It’s actually crazy the breadth and depth of research that is out there. And in computers, it’s not like math where it’s proven to end here with this proof or whatever. People are just writing papers about something they made. There’s tons of room to get in there and do something new.

BigParm··on Memory and new controls for ChatGPT
Often I’ll play dumb and withhold ideas from ChatGPT because I want to know what it thinks. If I give it too many thoughts of mine, it gets stuck in a rut towards my tentative solution. I worry that the memory will bake this problem in.
BigParm··on I just wanted Emacs to look nice – Using 24-bit color in terminals
This is why I just use VSCode now.

I enjoyed tinkering for years. One day my Vim colors wouldn’t work in Tmux for like the 5th time in my life. I said, you know what? I’m done with all of this.

I appreciate that what you did is fun. I just thought I’d share a perspective that sometimes we’re sick of tinkering.
