Pretty cool, but notice how he still uses touchpad to move through the source code.

Any ideas on how to automate that? I guess I can page up/down with a keyboard, but then how do I move cursor to a specific part of the code?

Sounds like fun! Although I'd prefer to build something, like a barn or a house.

I remember I used to kick-start myself into flow by doing "useless" things like rearranging code around, doing small renames for consistency, etc.

I need to return that that practice, as I find it harder and harder to interest myself in what I'm doing...

How can one become better at office politics? What are books to read / courses to take?

My realization from that article is that I'm stagnant because I can't be wordy.

It's all very simply for me. Either I know something or I don't. If I know, I tell exactly what I know. If I don't I say "I don't know".

But sometimes it's useful to be like the author, and be able to pull sentences and paragraphs out of nothing. I have coworkers like that, and they sound smart. They frequently get their way because no one sane can listen minutes-long elaborations of the simplest of points. People get bored, and say "yes" just to run away. No one questions these guys, since no one wants to swim in the pool of their rhetoric again.

This is what the author should be teaching about. The article is shit otherwise.

I feel that NYT should stop paywalling articles about Fox. That would be a good for educating public about them.

Right now all I have is a vague title. But I bet if I go to the Fox I'll be able to freely read their position.

There is no way to estimate "probable consequences", as it all is happening very fast.

Which hints on the fact how interesting / in demand this technology is.

I for one will be happy to enslave an AGI if that makes my life easier / better.

This is one of those cases where I can't help myself but ask: Why couldn't you find more worthwhile thing to do?

Now would be the time for some adversary (e.g. Russia) to provide unfiltered GPT-4 like thing, for free. Or even better, with a pro-Russia (or pro-China) bias.

Well, it's pretty popular in America.

You'd be surprised how many people want a one-way ticket to Mars. I think Elon can make good money from that alone.

"An fast"? Shouldn't this be "A fast", or is it an exception of some sort?

I wonder how hard it'll be to implement Android's WebView on top of Servo?
