I am glad you had a good experience. For me it was the most scary medical experience I've ever had. I think they hit a nerve because i felt my foot involuntarly cramping. The feeli…

I also think this is true, but one thing distinguishes the two and that is commitment. Resarch opens up new possibilities while doing the thing narrows them. Many people (myself in…

It's fun that you say 'naturally' when there have been centuries of oppression and conditioning against women in STEM.

But are philosophy and economics so neatly separable in this case? Say you hold the philosophical belief that humans creating art is important but the economics don't allow it. In …

Okay, so we are not destroying all of nature, only enough nature that it will get seriously uncomfortable for us. Great! Your second argument is even stranger. It would be unnatura…

Maybe we as a society should decide that having children is fine when you don't have a stable career yet and finance it as such. The contradiction that our most fertile years are a…

We have to find a new equilibrium for fertility that does not depend on opression of women. This could very well mean we need more rights, most of all more stable, plannable lifes …

Every human being creates nuisance sometimes. The only winning move in your game is not to live.

What would speak against carving a cooking pot from stone? One thing I could find is that they might explode but I guess that would also depend on the type of rock.

Interesting idea! Could you tell me more about how you arrive at the conclusion that forward passes cannot produce qualia?

I will train to become a nurse. They are highly sought after and the job seems rewarding to me. I heard it's quite stressful though.

The question of what is art is a philosophical one and does not have one conclusive answer. While I like your definition it is not __the__ definition of what art is nor is it agree…

One thing I have trouble wrapping my head around is blatant scams being advertised on reputable sites and apps. As I understand sites run ads through advertisement networks, but wh…

Maybe landlord coops could be a solution. Band together to co-own with multiple small landlords and share the risk.

Years ago I volunteered at Monique's for 3 weeks with my brother. It was a great and interesting time and I met a lot of cool people in Monique and her family and other hikers and …

What is shocking to you about a man apperearing feminine? And where do you see a national security concern in effeminate men?

Can you explain how you know that neither a toaster, your wristwatch nor ChatGPT are conscious? If being conscious means being conscious like a human this would be obvious but mayb…

In German there is 'Kein Backup, Kein Mitleid'. It translates roughly as 'No backup, No sympathy', as in you'll get no sympathy for your data loss. It's a bit negative though.

This is an answer to Mick Gordon's statement regarding his work on Doom Eternal. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33532078 for his his statement and HN discussion.
