rectcut is a good API for layout if you have a fixed viewport (eg eink display)

the API is a very simple one where you slice parts off an initial Rect. the only feature it provides is that it tracks (x, y, h, w) for you.

it doesn't work well with intrinsic sizes - it's more of a top down, fixed size thing.

I feel like the difficulty is this needs to have positive reinforcement or incentives, if you are not comfortable or it's unpleasant, you will avoid doing it a second time.

Karpathy's post is really great, thanks!

I dunno about slide 39 - where calling f(x) may or may not give x a value. From a code readability standpoint, a reader of the codebase needs to be wary of every function.

I see the issue is that iff you explicitly marked it as inout, it would limit the code from a logic unification point of view. I guess this is already explored in prolog, which I have little experience with - but it feels like it would inherently limit the ability to scale a codebase to huge sizes. Maybe a combination of convention and naming would solve the problem.

Look at your kitchen sink. On that metal lives a billion bacteria cells. Maybe some of them are even sentient. Do you even care to find out? Not really - its far beneath you. Humans are infinitely inferior to a god. We are no different to a moving rock.

I agree that there might be a god, but why would such a god that can transcends time and logic.. care about humans? Humans are just a type of animal, an advanced organism, in biological terms we are not too different from bacteria, trees and sheep.

That there is a first element seems natural, however why should this first element to care about the 100010847238384392938474934th element?

If housing and other goods are really cheap that means it's very easy to achieve financial independence. Everybody would be able to retire. Then nobody would work anymore.

I think if we pushed housing prices down, goods and services prices would increase.

That might be a good thing though.

Actually I don't mind killing animals for my food.

But the environment does matter to me, purely because I selfishly want to live longer and in a better environment.
