I might understand some of that, but couple extra questions if you don't mind answering: There's the key value pairs in the middle if I understand correctly, but what do the points on the la…

Awesome. I remember when everybody played basically this exact machine in middle school when we used to sneak to the market during recess. There used to be all kinds of different varieties of slot mac…

Stanford prison experiment has very much been debunked, it does not reflect at all what would naturally happen in such a situation. > These new criticisms include the biased and incomplete collecti…

I wonder what percentage of successful authors have a comparable habit. I'd imagine it could be surprisingly high. The famous WordStar habit of George RR Martin comes to mind. [0] [0]: https:…

As mentioned in the article though, a middle game would be a stepping stone that provides hands on experience of creating and selling such a game. You'd most likely be working on a small portion …

I could see this opening up a new way to generate ideas from which you can start building, or what to add/remove when you're stumped. Maybe a way to create coherent arrangements from a curat…

I feel a bit skeptical about this whole piece, given how the Stanford Prison experiment and the Milgram experiment were both heavily tampered with in order to get a more bombastic result. [0][1] [0]: …

> A new novel, for example, might require twenty dollars for its first price—and ten hours of dedicated reading time for its second. Only once the second price is being paid do you see any return o…

This is patronizing advice imo. It's possible that the grass just looks greener, or that the OP is just burnt out. But it's also true that it can sometimes be a good move to change what you&…

Such a weird time, when the gap in the performance of GPT 3.5 and 4 is huge, but the time between their releases is so short. Some of the critique that was apt for 3.5 sounds a bit out of touch when i…

I'm just imagining a random elderly person trying ChatGPT for the first time and getting a robot emoji with #Cutoff_2021 after asking a question about Donald Trump

I remember toying with Google Earth a year or so back, thinking it'd be amazing if the actual Google Maps API would give access to that level of granularity. Was sort of baffled as to why they wo…
