People are seriously fucking delusional. The wonderful life of a coal miner in 1890 lol. It is just a completely insane idea.

You also can't separate the social media part of this. An expensive cocktail is a cool social media post, Natty light is not. It is just a much more postmodern world than when I wa…

I think you are right but the expectations of young people are up much more. These are all relative valuations with your pears and expectations. No one cares we are all vastly more…

That is because there has been tremendous stagnation in wages outside of software in the middle. Huge compression between the middle and min wage. My first job as a cook pays basic…

Social darwnism is about getting paid. As an IT professional I don't have to put up with grave injustices like less than optimal rent seeking for myself and friends. Whatever decis…

Market fundamentalism is what happened. Information wants to be ? How naive. Information wants to be commoditized, but that process is amoral unless I am getting a cut as a rent se…

Anyone who thinks cycling of all sports is clean is a total fool. It is a sport literally built around doping. You can't take things to the Tour De France level and recover from th…

It is especially stupid because there is nothing analogous to Tiananmen Square in the west. On the other hand, have it write a dirty joke. It just wrote me a few jokes that silicon…

I don't know or really care what other people are doing with LLMs. I have learned so much the past 2.5 years it is almost hard to believe. To say I am getting dumber is just comple…

I think it is like with a gambling game that you get on hot and cold streaks, runs based on chance. The model feels like it has got stupid when you get on a cold streak after a hot…

To go with fitness analogies, I think it is like when lifting weights was something new but the old guard thought it would make you slow for sports. A ridiculous sentimental idea b…

This is just pointless ceteris paribus because genetics are the biggest variable. If someone has a predisposition to diabetes they can't drink alcohol and hold things ceteris parib…

The problem is comparing the average person to one of the greatest Olympic athletes is completely pointless because of genetics. Shaq could easily dunk a basketball weighing 300lbs…

I have lifted for 30+ years and something very un-intuitive with powerlifting is the optimal weight class for a height is extremely high. If you are 5'10" you are pound for pound s…

To believe there is no demand for a privacy first language model is quite absurd.

The irony to me is I am the opposite of the kid that got a computer in the 80s and learn to program on my own. My parents were able to afford a $5k inflation adjusted Appl 2E and I…

This is obviously false. Initial starting conditions are the biggest variable in the chaos of life. No matter what your success in life, be born in Cambodia in 1970 and it is going…

Everyone going crazy over the weekend and seeing DeepSeek chain of thought was in January. Right now feels exactly like when DAW and VST were maturing 25 years ago in computer audi…

"We need more communism!" - Standard well paid software engineer rails against the evils of capitalism

If you value privacy, it is hard to see how someone can be against "green pieces of paper bearing pictures of dead presidents".

Child mortality is the best example of what we take for granted. "The child mortality rate in the United States, for children under the age of five, was 462.9 deaths per thousand b…

Exactly. It seems obvious the CIA works for itself. I would think this is true of any intelligence agency. There is just too much power involved to not form an internal cabal. Fina…

I spend hours a day on emails and I don't get this. Whatever email I send would just be the prompt, otherwise the LLM is just adding words that don't need to be there without readi…
