Truth is hard to get into. If it were simple and digestible, we wouldn't all keep seeking it, ever hungry for it... It has to be grappled with. You can't shake truth's hand and hav…

The number can definitely go up for more than 30 years. There is a lot of wealth out there and the land is not getting any bigger.

Hume also has an essay about this. People don't read philosophy anymore. They think blog posts are just as good, or at least more "relevant", somehow.

I understand why you'd say bonds in tax-advantaged accounts and equities outside, but I don't know why you would put cash in the former. Unless by cash you mean money market funds …

But in reality they aren't "shutting down that whole thing", they are shutting down their personal lineage and not much else. The women might not be conscious of something wrong wi…

There is no annual taxable impact in a 401k nor IRA

That's what happens when you are in a 10+ year bull market. That doesn't mean 100% US equity allocation is a good idea starting now.

I'd say it's more citizen-level apoptosis. These women are the ones exiting the gene pool, not the whole civilization. But also 4B is an outsized meme especially in the west. It's …

First of all the banks paid back that loan with interest. Second of all this EA loan is like pennies compared to that. JPM can swallow it easily.

It is game theory optimal to use LLMs as little as possible even if your employer wants you to use it. The less you use it, the more competitive you are in the market, and probably…

Utilizing a breadth of vocabulary won't evince your being an LLM. None have such a habitude. You'll merely attract invidious barbed tonguelets.

"Pretentious" is an extremely damaging word and a post about the phenomenon you reference would be more astute than the OP is. People now denigrate nearly any reference to artistic…

English has more words than any language on earth. People don't learn or use use most of them because they will be labeled pretentious.

I've posted this before and it's still what I think: I'm convinced that the polarization is that one's impression of AI has a direct 1:1 mapping with one's previous level of skill …

What's the point? It doesn't matter what model he says, he'll either get "that model is bad" or "you're holding it wrong". I've used 5.6 Sol on 1M context and max thinking, and als…

It's not even misleading, it's just a lie. There's no way to interpret it correctly from the words.

It, plus video, also made painting culturally irrelevant. Approximately no one cares about paintings whatsoever. Books of modernity soon to follow I'm sure.

What are you even talking about man. I don't know how you misinterpreted that so badly. He is saying yes I might die but if I don't risk my life you will be a slave, so I am going …

During the pandemic I was uninvited from my company off-site because I was unvaccinated for COVID, despite consenting to a COVID test immediately prior. After that, I'm pretty sure…

Having fun with people in general is team building. Amusement park would do the same thing. It doesn't have to be any special format.

Which books are in copyright, not being published, and contain unique valuable knowledge? I've never seen this be the case. It's always some genre fiction or obsolete botanical tex…

I've never read a coherent argument for why all of these "should"s should be. I understand you want to read the books. But I don't see how that desire results in the laws needing t…

It is safe to assume pretty much any proclivity has some, however minor, genetic basis. Separated twin studies have shown enough similarities in basically every aspect of personali…
