This is a cool idea, but even more than playing it and learning about NYC, I'm curious to know how you built it, and where the data came from.

At 5 years old, in the US and UK at least, they're either in preschool/kindergarten or not in school at all yet. Grades aren't a thing at that level and I have to imagine the same is true in other areas of the world.

I'm reminded of an old friend from long ago. She was an early music major at Harvard, and graduated with a MFA. She was very good. She read and wrote Latin and Greek, could compose and play music using medieval notations, and published a book on early needlepoint.

This sounds to me like a life well lived!

What?

Thanks, typo on my part.

The median income in the UK is currently sitting at £2,627 / week or £31,524 / year [1]. This is advertising more than double that at £64,189, not quite graduate wages!

EDIT: £2,627 / month, not week!

Reminds me of Microsoft Research's TextWorld [1] (from 2018!).

I've been using superpowers [1] for this purpose, and have really appreciated how it guides the model to use careful, methodical approaches to answering my prompts. It's great for multi-step planning, design, and implementation, but also has guidance for debugging, accepting a code review, etc.

Yes, they can be anonymous in the sense that you can buy one in person and top it up without an ID [1].

HEIR [1] is a homomorphic encryption compiler built on modern MLIR.

IREE [2] is very actively developed ML compiler + runtime, also MLIR-based.

At London Heathrow too, the 100ml limit was scrapped early this year.

They briefly address this in the article:

Violin bowing, the researchers say, is a much more complicated interaction to model.

AI also forces folks to be online to code

This isn't true in the broad sense you've used. It's true that most people don't have the hardware to run the bleeding-edge foundation models, but with a modest Macbook you can run very capable local models now (at least capable for coding, where my experience is).

How "fat" are the packed machines? In other words, how much bloat is inevitable, or is that entirely controlled by the base image + the user's smolvm machine spec? How does smolvm's pack compare to something like dockerc [0] in terms of speed and size? Disclaimer: I just learned about dockerc!

I can't actually create and test a pack right now because of [1], but I love the idea of using this to distribute applications you might otherwise use a Docker image for.

It's very distracting to have every sentence in this article be its own paragraph.

I love this, from a comment on the article:

  He had in his path a script called `\#` that he used to comment out pipe elements like `mycmd1 | \# mycmd2 | mycmd3`. This was how the script was written:
 
  ```
  #!/bin/sh
  cat
  ```

Cool idea, but of course the very first image I clicked into was a dick.

I got this itch too when I came across tinyrenderer [1] and worked through the early lessons through shading, but didn't quite finish the texture mapping yet [2]. It was fun to work in pure C from first principles, even side-questing to write a simple TGA file reader and writer.

I'd be very interested to see your tutorial when it's done!

The "locakly" typo is perfectly placed in the comment thread of this article!

And 3 'i's?

Personally, I'd love this is if it were opt-in. That way, I could gradually reduce my repeat search dependence based on me recognizing my actual habits, rather than giving a browser extension carte blanche access to my entire search history. Maybe that's already possible, but I didn't see any documentation about the config file.

First off, the ASCII art raccoon is adorable.

The documentation here seems very thorough, but I'd really like to see some screenshots or a screencast of this in action! I've been using Diffview.nvim [1] lately to get just the view of all diffs in the current branch vs its merge base, with a nice file tree on the left hand side. A plugin like yours that also brings in reviewing features sounds great.

Mark Kermode is wonderful. Incredibly intelligent takes, thoughtful analysis, and brutal honesty when it's warranted. He's a delight to watch.

There’s a feeling in Hollywood that audiences have short attention spans and must be assaulted with fresh novelties. I think such movies are slower to sit through than a film like “Shawshank,” which absorbs us and takes away the awareness that we are watching a film.

This resonates with me and is a really concise way to explain why, to me, a 2 to 2.5 hour long Marvel or Transformers movie feels like an eternity, while a movie like Shawshank never has me checking my watch.

\A always matches the start of the string, but in multiline mode, ^ will match both the start of the string and the start of each line:

Tangentially, if that callus was a plantar callus (circular with a painful point in the center), you can get sticky pads with salicylic acid from the drugstore that will gradually destroy it. Much safer than digging into your foot with a knife, but I'm glad to hear it worked for you!

The same, I suppose, as using Wikipedia to get an overview of a topic, a surface understanding, before following the citations to dig deeper and fully validate the summary.

Great idea, I've bookmarked it!

Any plans for a simple way to search for posts?
