I ended up generating alpha so this is clearly a great game and I'm a genius investor (compared to random monkeys). When I lose it all tomorrow, my opinion may of course change. Se…

A fundamental problem (let's not assume there's just one!) is this thinking right in the first paragraph: > ... if he sells a new oven to the country’s pizza makers, pastry chefs, …

In one sense, you can't; the world they lived in lived with them, and when they were gone their world was gone with them too. In another sense, you can't *avoid* that world; the wo…

I think you're actually agreeing with ctoth i.e. people think the engineering is difficult and politics is easy, BUT that's backwards if you look at history (which you then do). Po…

To put it further into numbers - 1). Wikipedia does have a citation [1] saying 2,450 gigatonnes of CO2 have been emitted by human activity, of which 42% stayed in the atmosphere an…

This post resonated with me, as it seems to have done with many of us. My way out of the prison was giving up on "cattle not pets" - I had to acknowledge that I will never, ever ne…

> What is the relation of this to studying humanities? A fair question! Put briefly, I would say that studying the humanities would make one more aware of/able to comprehend situat…

For those here who are dismissive of the value of the humanities, consider that no problem and no solution is purely technical; there are always "humanistic" aspects. One can - and…

As somebody who is suffering from this precise issue at another org right now, and would very much like to solve it, one glaring omission from this article is whether this worked o…

The article details the seller-push (i.e. bad) theory, but doesn't go very far with the buyer-pull - presumably this is where one would get value out of the coaching sessions offer…

I spent some years as a teacher and so have some first-hand experience here; my take, for what it's worth, is that LLMs have indeed blown a gaping hole in the structure of educatio…

Mainly just wanted to say, this is an absolutely fantastic hack and I loved reading about it - thank you for sharing! I guess if I have one question, it would be... what else are y…

I have a nephew turning six this year and have been considering getting him some of the collections as well, wondering if it would have the same formative impact on him as on me. I…

This concept is not quite smoke and mirrors, since there's nothing wrong with the science, but this article definitely reads more like a breathless press release than something tru…

> why not just use hydrogen directly and skip the inefficiency and cost of direct air capture of CO2 and of making methane? Broadly speaking, one key reason is that we've already g…

As a "carbon industry" observer, this is pretty exciting news. I've had my eye on Terraform Industries for a while and love what they're doing; they're one of the few groups that a…

Couldn't agree with you more, and honestly I think you're softballing it here: > I think it’s pretty lazy to crank out a vibes based article describing specific grievances and gene…

Genuinely of two minds about this piece - on the one hand, the cynical hand, it feels (to me) like one of the second-tier pitches you see in Mad Men that's meant to contrast with a…
