Exactly. The strong Western societal taboo and moral panic on this topic have led to a frenzied crusade that easily bypasses reason (e.g. Chat Control), unfortunately. This is just…

The crusade and strong Western societal taboo/moral panic on this topic clearly massively cloud people’s judgments (e.g. Chat Control in the EU), unfortunately.

No matter your perception of PRC, I don't see how competition around open-weight models has much to do with a "global police state".

Curious, what’s exactly not true about these? The Nordic (and Central European) countries are surely not friendly to people accumulating wealth, and it’s a widely known fact that m…

I looked through some related recent discussions, interestingly somebody[1] pointed out that this has long been the case in some countries where the military service is mandatory, …

Yeah, by such definitions any country is justified to wage a war and always find a way to claim it’s for self-defense (which is indeed how most causus belli have worked throughout …

Sounds like a weird incentivization for sure. Why not base the pension on the average over all the years worked as in many other countries? When you offer such incentives, people w…

> It demands people ask: Do you prefer Hong Kong's past? Or its future? Such a formulation is either sheer ignorance or worse, full-on deliberate cynicism. Hong Kong's "past" was a…

Not sure it’s a “long-running Internet movement”. You make it sound like one of those loony anti-science conspiracist agendas. There have been a lot of serious articles written abo…

Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind is another book on these topics which is rather comprehensive and compelling.

Good that I saw this post on its last day of opening. Gonna pay a visit today. Typography is fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

It's mindblowing how the majority of the comments here seem to be rather cynical and distrustful. I'd be really discouraged if I were the author. I (as an engineer) found the artic…

That's the whole point of the article: It's not about "decoration", but about making the underlying UX flow make coherent sense.

That's a similar thing to clothing though. You may argue how it can be manipulated all you want, but people do think in this way and it's a socially agreed upon contract to show yo…

That doesn't seem to be talking about exactly the same point as the article is focusing on though.

I was wondering about grammar checking tools in the era of LLMs, especially for grammar checks beyond English, and Sapling https://sapling.ai seemed decent. Nobody seems to have me…

You can always come up with criticism for anything. Do they deliver some interesting ideas (while understandably they might oversimplify some other aspects) and are not complete fr…

They’ll be fine and will survive regardless, but their current astronomical valuations probably won’t be.

Weird that it shows that to me at first as well, but now when I opened the article again, the video seems to be available? Not sure if it was restored just now.

From the D/M/Y date format at the end of the article, they may not be native English speakers (at least they aren’t American).

If it’s true, one idea to explain it might be oversensitivity to input (which maybe sometimes leads to withdrawal or avoidance to social situations which could be too stimulating a…

lol that’s such wishful thinking and seeing those congressmen in a way too competent light. If they had any hard evidence they’d have published it. It isn’t hard to understand is i…

This is precisely how English is the lingua franca of developers around the world, and a lot of (not all, of course) companies in e.g. Germany or Japan hire English-speaking progra…

Funny how when I read Brave New World it greatly got on my nerves, mainly due to how it's supposed to be a "dystopian" novel. To me it indeed depicted a dream world in so many ways…

Interesting perspective, and it's hard to disagree with the idea that there are people who are more outliers than some others on either end, which is just a natural result of any d…
