Reminds me of this interactive demo (created by the lead of Dead Cells) where you can adjust the juice amount in the menu: https://deepnight.net/games/game-feel/

Are you sure this isn't just an example of the Gell-Mann amnesia effect?
> Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
> In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

> Complex training courses, meditation and cultural exposure were most effective (gs = 0.66), while the use of cognitive manipulation drugs was least and also non-effective, g = 0.10. The type of training material was also important. For instance, figural methods were more effective in enhancing creativity, and enhancing converging thinking was more effective than enhancing divergent thinking.

reading the obits might fall under "cultural exposure".

When I read that text my first thought was making some videos of my mom that passed away, since so few videos of her exist and pictures don't capture her personality

Unfortunately I don't think that's possible because of the relatively short half-life of DNA.

I wonder if one possible solution is making things more "the Unix way" or like microservices. Then instead of depending on some super specific inputs to reach deep into some code branch, you can just send input directly to that piece and fuzz it. Even if fuzzers only catch shallow bugs, if everything is spread out enough then each part will be simple and shallow.

For Google Translate you should check out DeepL https://www.deepl.com/translator
It's absolutely insane, blows GT right out of the water with its accuracy.

Pretty much all SQL DBs support pagination, and many libraries that abstract the DB away hide this as an iterator.

Here are some insights into how OpenAI fine-tuned the rewards and short-term actions of the bots https://gist.github.com/dfarhi/66ec9d760ae0c49a5c492c9fae939...
The numbers seem pretty arbitrary to me, that's probably what this blog post is talking about when it mentions why it lost.

>a murder taboo is universal among human civilizations
Using the word murder is cheating. Of course an "unlawful killing" is taboo, it's in the definition! Killing humans is definitely not a universal taboo, just look at wars and those that support them. Since all ethical statements have an evaluative piece to them, we cannot say anything is universally taboo.

The U.S. Code is essentially a castle in the sky. It's quite useful though.
