I'm still not convinced about paying it. I'm wondering if something similar can be vibecoded for personal use

Agree. I'm also not happy with how the TUI and the app are not using the same "server"

You can already do that. They have a one-off payment forever

Have you tried Moshi? Integrates with Herdr TUI

> University (really all education beyond teaching people to speak) will be pointless because there’s no work to do and because growing your human capital doesn’t change your life outcomes

I feel sad for people that think education's purpose is completely utilitarian and there's no consideration for "enjoy learning".

Says a lot about how schools perverts what does it mean to "learn"

> There’s something very sci-fi about islands powered by underwater volcanoes, and the jobs it could create would be fascinating. Going from pearl divers to subsea power-station drone technicians, ha

Volcanoes and underwater jobs? Sounds like Sci-fi Horrors

> you can build your one rig for way cheaper

Can you? I got it because between CPU, GPU and RAM I'd be already over the Steam Machine price

> Also, when you provide instant-travel to all the destinations, the destinations lose their value as well.

As any seasoned gamer can confirm. Sometimes there's something lost in that convenience

No

What's the equivalent in the UK of a one-month EMT course?

Very interesting Jonathan's take on how knowledge gets lost overtime, in part, due to abstractions.

Out of curiosity, does a Ltd from the UK counts as EU nowadays after the brexit?

> In some ways, the scale of this phenomenon resembles an episode of mass cognitive dissonance, or even a population-level folie à deux. It’s worth asking if something about our internal mechanisms for gauging the passage of time has changed

Ted Chiang's Exhalation short story comes to mind

From

> intelligence beyond human control. (1)

to

> that will obviously end humanity (2)

There's quite an assumption on the feasibility of (1) and even a bigger jump that from (1) follows (2)

Some people can have less apocalyptic / more pragmatic views of the potential of AI.

Actually, Heaven is our best shot at a post-scarcity society /s

AI has achieved the same religious undertones as your average cult. Is the new god of the gaps for some tech people. The wild card to achieve anything.

Is so fascinating and horrifying to read this. We still have to learn so much about how the brain works

The new version of this tale is that reality is a simulation. Reality being a dream is so 4th Century China

> Scientists really should have made up their own categories instead of using our words.

Doesn't really matter. The public would end up taking science words for their own purposes to sound legitimate. Look at how "quantum" and "energy" is used in alternative medicine.

This made me think of how dystopic would be a virtual reality with an algorithm that behaves like this to give the user more of what they pay attention to

This. If something is important enough, it will reach you through other media.

Which I'm not sure it happens that often anymore because it's easier to just complain on social media

> This is the key point, I think. I've seen the same as the author: people who want to be writers but rarely read books. And I don't get it.

Because the idea of being a writer is more appealing that the action of writing

It means at least, that there's something of value in the company worth that amount of money. Regardless of what it is.

> Stripe and every other big company could build this without any issues. It either is just a really stupid business decision or it is about the name. The only model proxy i know is OpenRouter despite plenty of other model proxies existing

I wait for the moment where engineers realise there's more to a product than just the building aspect.

This is beyond impressive. Very good work!

This is how it was explained to me by an actual management consultant

Thought so as well

> Except a ton of successful indie games, including some of the best of all time

True. A lot of successful indie games are built in a custom engine. But that doesn't imply that all successful indie games need to be built on a custom engine or that someone is going to have more success by going the custom engine route.

The best of all time is a bar quite high. Success is already a few rungs down the ladder.

> the engine limits the kinds of games that are thinkable. [...] You probably don't even realize the thousands of little decisions that are forced on you

Well, if Im not aware of those decisions forced upon me. I doubt they are affecting what I think is possible to do in the engine, as I'm not aware of the limitations in the first place.
