It's the same way prohibition empowered mobsters. If there's a market, businesses will fill it, and if it's an illegal market, it will be filled with business men who do illegal things.

As a PC streaming headset first, and being ran by valve, I expect it to be well supported, and running well, for years. But I'm expecting as a standalone device it won't be close to the competition.

Which for me is fine, but I'd like standalone to be good too.

We already have an AI benchmarking guy. Quantum benchmarking is much less developed and less intuitive.

On the other hand, we are just barely at the point that quantum benchmarking kind of makes sense. I think I might just do a quantum code and see how long it can maintain coherent.

Could be worse. Hopefully I can move onto some quantum benchmarking next year. At least for a couple months.

No, just work. My current job is technical benchmarking and for some of the benchmarks I want to approximate a normal distribution.

While this is true we often need to describe things in our code nor in the most natural way to describe them, but rather in the most efficient way to do them. If we could write them in the most natural way, and an AI could compile it to a probably more efficient execution, that would be great.

I definitely could not afford to do that.

Of course, I don’t have to take an add minutes from the day. I could also use smearing to make seconds be longer and shorter depending on the day. But I'd rather have seconds be a constant and let the length of the day reflect the length of the day.

I literally can't understand these people who want permanent daylight savings time. That's literally just being an hour farther from the correct time than you need to be.

If we all agreed to move the weekend to be Sunday/Monday, would that really fix that "Mondays suck"?

In particular, for performance over time and modeling multivariate parameters, it seems like other methods would help save a lot of space while maintaining higher accuracy.

I'm not sure recursion had been invented at this point.

That's a great way of putting it.

Yes. The issue with a debate is that it's about entertaining people. You have to spend your time where things are interesting. You can’t start from first principles and build things up because that's too slow, and most of that would be technical stuff the audience isn't ready for (or interesting in)

No. Someone can be wrong about something and know more about it than someone else, who is right about it.

I know at a fundamental level that eating meat is worse for the environment than eating plants. But an expert in the area would wipe the floor with me because I don't know any of the specifics.

Do you have a window? Maybe enough to have like a potatoes a month. If you get decent sunlight.
