But when it's tangled with emotional/personal stuff such as love. It gets really messy.
Success is not a defined term.
lol, why not just createa law and state that "people must be happy, environment must be good, everyone must get along with everyone, also no wars".

Law doesn't work like this.

This is not law, this is impersonating God, or a bad prompt to LLM I guess.

Okay, go tell {your wife, your children, your parents, etc}, and say: “I love you, but there’s a part of of you that I just can’t accept and want to change.” Will they think you still love them? Do you think you can love them that way?

Your love to them should be a source of power to accept all of them. Your love to life should empower you to embrace death.

I think the idea of “death is part of life” is more than just “it is what it is”. It means when you say you love life, you want to live, it’s is implied that you also love death, and want to die. Otherwise you don’t really love life and you don’t really want to live.

GraphQL is RESTful. Just treat GraphQL Result as the resource..

Re:Why KPIs are destroying businesses on Tuesday August 22, 2023 @10:58AM (#37223687)
I think KPI on itself is fine, it's basically the goal of the game you are playing, defining it clearly should help. However, it never make sense to to have multiple KPIs, everything should be derived from a single KPI.

This actually give KPI some weight, because it literally defines what you do. Whenever you define you KPI, you'd think, "okay, is this all that I'm doing now?". And whenever you change your KPI, you'd be thinking, "okay, should I abandon the last game I played and play a new one?".

I was curious to see what the language used in this project, Limbo, looks like. And here it is: https://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/limbo.html

It's interesting to me how channels in Limbo look and work very similar to Go's channels.

Re:Cheating Is All You Need on Friday March 24, 2023 @01:52AM (#35285516)
if the machine can already understand natural languages as shown by gpt, why can't it just let you code and debug in natural languages. Just curious?

Like why can't it just throw compiler errors on your English code?

Re:Cheating Is All You Need on Thursday March 23, 2023 @12:06PM (#35276931)
I agree with a lot of things in this article.

My question is:

If LLM can understand natural languages and convert them to a programming language, why not skip the high level languages and go strait to machine code?
