Philosophy can approach many questions that currently feel out of the realm of science
Wow this is an awesome recommendation! Seems like a good level for me and goes over topics I've always wanted to learn more about.
Love Vimium! It's easy to ignore sites where you want to use their native keybindings, which is nice.

I, like so many others have been very impressed by ChatGPT. I'm a software engineer who has some understanding of deep learning, but my day to day work is far outside of the AI field. So I'm not up to date on the current state of chat bots, speech synthesis, etc. I'm wondering how big of a step forward or breakthrough ChatGPT is compared to the state of the art from a year or a few months ago?
Makes me think of Godel, Escher, Bach. It's been a while since I've read it but I recall Hofstader making the argument that self-reference is the key element of consciousness.
I believe prisons in part serve the purpose to keep us in check. With the threat of prison, society is encouraged to police itself. As another comment in this thread mentioned, Foucault helped to develop these sort of ideas and describes the motivations and development of the prison system in his work.
I didn't know many of these! Thanks
I've had the same Arch installation running since Spring 2020 on a desktop from 2012 or so. It's not my daily driver, but still works just fine. Even with some long periods between updates, I don't recall any serious stability issues.
Always loved Calvin and Hobbes.Love it even more because of this.
FZF is one of the best programs I've ever used
This was my textbook in college! It’s great
CLRS is what I used in college
Behind a paywall very sad
Very true, lots of fun distributed systems problems can be found working in infrastructure for FAANG companies.
One of my all time favorite YouTube videos is a lecture by William Byrd. I find myself still coming back to this video, it was so fascinating to me as an undergrad.

RIP. One of the best to ever do it.
This is an amazing resource! Used it in college a lot
