Incredible. But on mobile the menu is in the way and you can't play. Why no button to hide the stats?

Name one other market that would benefit financially from having most of the leaders in the field say what they are building has a high chance of ending humanity? Biotech - "what w…

I wonder if you think and feel the same level of boredom and complete lack of magic of the Apollo module once you learn how incredibly limited and not able to explore the whole sol…

If we run this experiment and most people say they wish they could replace their battery would you concede you are actually the one with idiosyncratic preferences?

I have multiple friends at Anthropic. I can second this. One thing I notice about Anthropic culture is that it is unusually kind. So much so that I worry they won't be Machiavellia…

There literally are drugs vastly less addictive and harmful than others. So some designation of some as "soft" and others as "hard" is not unwarranted (though we can argue where th…

It is good provocation even if it is poor analogy. This is because bacon is more like cigarettes than most people assume, even if far less dangerous in practice. Like another examp…

Modern industrial farming practices are so far removed from "natural" with how they are processed that an ultra-processed slurry of starches and oils is more far more "natural" by …

I wonder if there is any evidence of the Iran war starting, in part, as a distraction from this. I recall reading somewhere that there is a long historical trend of countries and e…

Dubai is predictable evil. You know what to do to avoid trouble. The Trump admin acts like it is on cocaine. Many people - and I think this can be a highly rational preference - pr…

Felt very weird reading this on HN and not r/ENFPmemes. I agree completely.

Then the 2 of you probably just disagree on what constitutes socially acceptable free expression.

We've crossed multiple "ultimate red flags". Won't be surprising if it happens.

Reading sound takes like this vs seemingly everyone on reddit celebrating his death makes me quite sad.

People get rejected from companies based on nothing but vibes of personality fit every day.

Specialized research AI agents are coming at which point we'll have numerous LLMs running and verifying experiments and creating a higher quality text corpus than the 2014-2020 hal…

Something that Google, in hindsight, regrets.

I feel like all the BS we were taught about architecture design principles multi-AZ, failover strategies, graceful degradation etc was gaslighting us all into thinking any of out w…

I just want to point put there that your argument's exact same rhetorical structure could be (and has been) used to deny "rape culture": E.g. - "Rape is illegal and prosecuted, so …

Never works

No silly, politicians specifically will exempt from such monitoring. So duh, not every single person will be monitored.

This was a once unscripted statement that she never repeated again her entire campaign. She expressed regret immediately after making it (not after losing) explaining how it was gr…
