Honestly, I personally would be less nervous visiting China.

I wouldn't say you are overreacting at all. I know someone who was detained for months on US soil after a phone search where the only "evidence" against him they found is illegal c…

I believe we should.. step back a bit, and agree on what we mean by "reading books", vs "other things on a screen"; you all mean the tension between reading cumulative attention-in…

It would only be an oversimplification if they had claimed that every book reader understands more than every online reader, regardless of subject matter. They didn't. Plus, in you…

Exactly. Add it to the fact that the world was never particularly "fair" to deep thinkers, because said deep thinkers are often not prioritizing "production". It already rewarded p…

If things were so good then, how did they lead to Now?

I don't know, the higher my TC gets the easier I find it to reduce my spending. I feel like it inflates in the beginning and then it kinda levels out.

And what's the underlying issue, exactly?

The world might slowly realize that a lot of generative goodness and direction is the result of our limitations and constraints as builders, not necessarily our velocity.

I agree with everything you are saying, especially as someone whose main goal behind going into content is to understand, and have agreed with it for so long, and in my attempt to …

Can confirm. I had to make an effort NOT to cheat. It's so incredibly easy on exams with MCQs.

Yes, it's from this textbook: https://hci.stanford.edu/courses/cs147/2022/au/readings/rest...

Yeah, you can't get it out in "one session of conversation", but you definitely can under a different... context. "Seeing the work reveals what matters. Even if the master were a g…

Exactly, I am quite surprised by this thread. I always thought sokobans were just one of the niches of puzzle games (one that I am not quite a fan of, to be honest... I find it jus…

I was not actually defending LLM tools or casinos. Not every system with variable outcomes and ritualized user behavior is meaningfully equivalent to wagering money against probabi…

I think this is more of a statement of human behavior under uncertainty and non-determinism rather than the tools themselves. Perhaps the ease of use brings it closer to the funny …

I hear you, but it seems quicker to predict whether the agent's solution is correct/sound before running it than to compose and "start" coding yourself. Understanding something tha…

I prefer waiting till it gets me in trouble. So far, it having access to all my .env secrets seems to work out okay.

Also, this was literally said about the technology of - what OP fantasizes as - "good ole pen and paper writing" at some point by vintage philosophers. Nothing new here.

It seems like what you miss is actually a stable cognitive regime built around long uninterrupted internal simulation of a single problem. This is why people play strategy video ga…

It also does not help that this has ChatGPT writing signature all over it. :)

The argument assumes a naïve pre-hermeneutic subject who could maintain a pure unmediated "self" if only they avoided LLMs. The author is nostalgic for a world that never really ex…

Am I missing something here? I used it a few days ago and it does actually act like a web browser and give me the link. This seems to be a UI expectation issue rather than a "real …
