Since this thread might actually catch the eye of some people who are responsible for these kinds of things (nothing ever seems to happen with stuff that comes up in the Apple Supp…

I completely agree, though I haven't been thinking in terms of the cancer metaphor myself. I have been thinking a bit about how we could limit the negative effects of both advertis…

The story begins at a kitchen table in Stockholm in 2015, playing Scrabble with my flatmate. I tell my friend I want to see if we can come up with a new type of word game Playing a…

A preemptive addendum to my previous reply: Yes, LLM:s currently only deal with text information. But GPT-5 will supposedly be multimodal, so then it will also have visual and soun…

I took the liberty of asking GPT-4 to take the second statement and your response to it, and turning it into a fable: "Once upon a time, in a village nestled by a grand mountain, l…

Great points. Will just add a point 1.5: There's usually an inverse correlation between ill intent and competence, so the subset of people who both want to cause harm to others on …

Yes, Robert Miles is great at explaining the problems of AI alignment, so I'll second the recommendation!

Yes, great point So many of the people who opine about AI, its trajectory, and its possible effects on society, have latched on to one or two possible effects - like it overtaking …

This. So much this. I'm completely dumbfounded by obviously highly intelligent people consistently not getting this, and dismissing current generation AI systems as not being intel…

Multiple desktops/spaces, with my mainstay apps each assigned to one desktop, fullscreened with BetterSnapTool, and helper apps like notes, terminal, calendar & mail assigned to al…

Late response here, but hoping you might catch it! I'm also very verbal, as that is the form most of my thinking takes. I do have some very limited visual imagination, but it takes…

I'm aphantasic, and I'd say one advantage is that I'm not bothered by invasive vivid memories or anxiety inducing imagery. Just on a hunch, I think aphantasics are probably less li…

Taking the risk of violating HN policy here, but that gave me a good chuckle. I guess child sacrifice and wanton genocide is also on the whitelist

Really like Slow Down, great drive, melody and textures

Cool stuff :) Been listening to a lot of synthwave recently, and love how you’ve worked the metal guitars into this

Have been writing songs since more than 20 years now, and got into producing around 2007. Genres range from singer songwriter to electronic and orchestral and anything that materia…

Third generation cryptos like Cardano/Ada, Polkadot and others using proof-of-stake instead of proof-of-work to generate new blocks are orders of magnitude less energy demanding an…

Amazing how alive this cholesterol myth still is. Anecdotally from my own experience talking to people, the fear of cholesterol and saturated fats is most present still in the US a…

My guess as to why swearing in particular is easier would be that it’s mainly due to classic conditioning. When you’re a kid, you tend to learn through punishment (e.g parent telli…

Three high-jumpers stumbled into a bar. Blame competition organizers for setting the bar too low. Barred from further competition. Just made that up. Chuckle or cringe, it’s all go…

Chiming in with others who responded, I haven’t experienced decreased heat sensitivity or increased sweating either. On a physiological level, what the cold training (cold showers,…

Some have mentioned the Wim Hof method here, but I’ll give it a shout out too. Have practiced the breathing daily, 1-3 times per day, 4 rounds per session (1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 minute br…

Great stuff! I'm currently a bit short on money, so thanks for making it available on GitHub :) Just to save others a bit of googling time: I tried to build the project using Xcode…
