Amazing, after a year, @HyattConcierge still has $1000+ of my money that I spent on a hotel room I never stayed at, that @bookingcom ASSURED me was canceled with no fee. These companies trading blame while meanwhile I'm still out $1000 for trusting either of them.

Computer science professor who works on fast data processing; co-author of the simdjson parser and a weekly blogger about software performance since 2004.
I think that AI is helping us in ways that will only become clear in several years, as it is helping clarify knowledge, science and philosophy. In other words, I believe that it may usher in a new intellectual golden age, but not necessarily directly (by what “it” finds). Rather, it may force a reshaping of the current social hierarchies. Many people who have reigned over academia for decades are finding themselves on the defensive. Meanwhile, other models are slowly being valorized. If I am correct, we are in for quite a fight. It will get vicious. What I find interesting with OpenAI breakin… OpenAI Related

Their words
They tended to underweight the endogenous response of political and military institutions to the catastrophe—the emergence of second-strike forces, elaborate command systems, crisis management, and above all mutually assured retaliation.

Their words
A powerful technology that is out there for everyone to use comes with built-in pacing. In a way it’s the truest form of MAD or proliferation.

A Monday morning question for you: I'm not usually awake from 5am to 6am, but when I am I tend to enjoy it. Start the day slow. Watch the sunrise. Get a few things done before everyone else wakes up. Meanwhile, I am often awake from 10pm to 11pm and I find that I tend to use it poorly. Passively watching TV or scrolling on a screen. Late-night snacking. Generally focusing on things that are fairly unimportant. Trading the last hour of the night for the first hour in the morning would be a pretty high-value trade for me. Which hours of your day tend to return the most value and which ones tend… Related

Game designer and programmer, co-founder of id Software and co-creator of Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein 3D. Now runs Romero Games in Galway, Ireland.
Sandy is conflating four stories: - The story of the contract programmer is incorrect, and was before Sandy’s time at id. The contract programmer was hired to do the SNES port of Wolf 3D (not the network code). They ended up not doing it. So, we had to stop development on DOOM for three weeks to do the port. That person was employed by another company at the time, and although they assured us they had approval to do the work, that was not true. To avoid a lawsuit, we gave them rights to publish the Mac version of Wolf 3D. See ch 12 DOOM Guy for this story. The person was a good programmer, bu… Quoting @SandyofCthulhu The house doesn't always win. Four anecdotes in which "I was there" when game companies got fleeced. Thrice by individuals, once by their own publisher. First, id Software and our non-network code.

Well, I guess one of the perks of electing a bunch of Clowns is that you get to live in a Circus! This week our stock market has endured some of the wildest volatility since the Great Depression, all to end up right back where we started. Meanwhile, TRILLIONS of dollars were reallocated in the trading frenzy - hopefully you weren't on the losing side of any of this. Additional untold billions of dollars of wealth and productivity were permanently destroyed as the majority of US businesses have had to pause their hiring and buying decisions until all this political showmanship calms down.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
