It’s important to keep in mind that railroads, airplanes, and the internet also caused bubbles.

Just because of an invention is useful and world changing doesn’t mean it won’t cause a bubble.

If AI is going to deliver on its promises, it’s gotta do better than that. Learning a new framework or library is the easy part.

These types of projects always look really cool, but I always doubt they will be maintained so I decide not to use them.

I want to experience pre-industrial co2 levels

This is far beyond what is expected from a 16 year old. Great Job!

I see some comments giving you suggestions that I don't agree with. I suggest you keep going.

Are people surprised that the app is written in code that can run on a different computer? Of course it can.

It would be much weirder to learn they built an entire tech stack specifically for the device and that it was technically impossible to port it.

“long-term damage to adolescent rat brains”

I keep hearing warnings from intelligent people that you shouldn’t trust conclusions drawn from rat studies because they are preliminary and usually sensationalized.

Defining a new class is probably the most Ruby way to do it. There are two implementations that define a new class: rb_heap[1] and algorithms[2]. However, algorithms[2] use a Fibonacci heap, which should technically have better time complexity but is slower in practice, and the library pulls in a lot of unnecessary stuff. rb_heap is good, although I think using a symbol to specify if it's a max/min heap is a little strange.

There is something satisfying about using an array like Python. It's very straightforward and doesn't require you to convert back and forth between a queue and a array.

That's an interesting idea to use Queue. I do need random access to implement the binary queue, so I'm not sure if Queue would work.

If you are using Arc, I created a boost to block Youtube. You can add a custom message to yourself in the CSS settings.

OpenAI designed safety breaks into their organization that exploded at the first sign of profits.

I legitimately might try this.

Is it really so bad to release the prompt?

I grew up in Oregon, where all the beaches are public. Later I discovered that some people in different places owned beaches, which blew my mind. How can you own a beach?

I then wondered why I felt that way about beaches, but not about other lands.

Really? I can’t imagine people turning off the lazy evaluation. It’s a deep part of the language. You can force things to evaluate strictly, but that’s not disabling it.

I always feel like these discussions are built upon extrapolating on assumptions based on speculation.

How could we, a species that hasn’t progressed that far, know what advanced civilizations look like?

Now I can train myself the way the AIs do it

I'm sure we could find things for all the people who live there to lower their expenses. But there is an asymptote to how much people can save.

You can’t anticipate a 25% increase in your largest expenses living on that salary. Pets are awesome, and people want to live life.

True. We’ll feel like they are sentient way before they are.

There is an asymmetry here, because, for the most part, you can’t know what it feels like to be an age until you’ve been it. So it will be more common to feel your age or younger because that's what you've experienced.

If you feel worn out when you are 25, you just think that’s what being 25 feels like.

Yeah, there are a lot of positives. It's not just about stopping kids from cheating. It's a better system, in my opinion.

Switching to a system where students watch lectures at home and do homework in class was overdue anyway. I think that’s the real way to stop AI from writing everything.

I would switch music providers if they had a client that wasn't buggy. So there is a market for quality software. It's just challenging.

I wanted to find the list without the fancy styling and found this: https://fs.blog/great-books/

Much easier to copy and paste.

I would switch music streaming services for a client that wasn’t buggy. I think there is an untapped market for a software company that provides high-quality software. Market competition might kick in if a company can pull it off. It's probably more complicated than it sounds, though, because software frameworks don't provide that level of quality.

Confronting conflicting opinions is uncomfortable. You will get many angry responses from people from all sides (if you are doing your job right). So y'all will have to find a way to deal with that emotionally.

I’m often not looking for the “correct” perspective, I’m just looking for what the other perspectives are.

If a lot of people think a certain way, that’s enough for me to want to learn about it.

I took a quick scan of your articles and I love what you are doing. They were very clear. I will definitely come back for more.

When reading the news, I’m often not searching for “facts”, but instead I’m trying to understand the “facts” from the perspective of people I disagree with.

Listening to people talk about things I know a lot about teaches me to be quite about things I’m not an expert it.

The post originally had a paragraph in the beginning explaining why I thought the algorithm was a 'lie'.

I explained that Haskell had quickly become my favorite language over the past year. And I started partly because I saw these overly simplified algorithms and thought they were beautiful. Only after working with Haskell for awhile do you realize these algorithms are kinda 'lies'.

But, I realized nobody would care about that, and they would want me to get right into the algorithm. So I deleted the paragraph.

That's why I gave the post that title.
