I agree I only wish I could convince some humans in my life to slow down and do things with care.

This is not the bar for societal adoption, and we can already see a demonstration that it is false. A waymo is basically an industrial strength robot. It operates among inherently …

I feel like people who have high EQ should actually grasp the infinite depth and complexity of even the median human. Just imagine, there’s a woman Alice who cleans your home once …

Family member gossips "that crazy [deejaaymac] always burying secrets in the backyard..." Or straight up betrays you (you slighted them at some family event)

No technology in the world can protect you against every threat model and unlikely scenario. What if the robber hits you in the head and you get brain damage and forget your passwo…

What the law says and enforcement of the law are sometimes 2 different things, but generally employees should not be shorting their own stock, lock up or no lock up. The issue is t…

> Now add 30 or 50 or 100 other topics you dip into on any given day. In a world without YouTube/LLMs, you weren't going to learn these things anyway. Today, you also don't learn t…

I definitely retain it. In the case of the gardening - I pretty much immediately go outside and practice it. In other words, how I get the info doesn’t matter (book, video, llm) be…

> Do we actually have any measurements of if AI helps you learn something better? To me this is intuitively true based on anecdata. 2 examples 1) learning spanish - when I hear or …

You compared “companies in the US” to this 1 thing that 1 company did in Japan. Why don’t you cherry pick the compensation at 1 company, maybe nvidia or openai, and do the comparis…

> Anyone who holds bonds in this market will likely lose money. Yes, you lose money (or more precisely you lose opportunity) but you gain certainty. Which is what you want for reti…

Turns out you don't have to bet your whole career. Do you think if AI turns out to be a dud, most of us will permanently lose our career as software engineers?

> This is happening despite the fact that both public and private school teachers strongly discourage math outside of school! Do you have more info on this? Where is it coming from…

Or maybe this guy was always going to reach the endpoint of shooting up a school, and he happened to talk to ChatGPT along the way. These people have existed long before llm chats …

Let's look at Almonds which _could be_ produced where water is not scarce, maybe, but instead is grown in central valley CA based on quickly depleting ground water. Each almond tak…

Presumably you care about the quality of your marketing. Otherwise why do it at all. Worst case scenario, your marketing turns people off to your music, who would have otherwise be…

I've always found it ironic that people who distrust software from Mark Zuckerberg instead trust software from... 3 guys in a garage. "Those 3 guys in a garage would never sell us …

That's right. And also just like the missing epstein footage. Because it's a social problem, not a technology problem. At the same time, just because these instances of "missing" t…

I'm ~30 years old and would like to plea to others in my generation: Please take the mantle of adulthood, whether you feel ready or not. If you do not, those who who have no 2nd th…

It should not be automated but it should be heavily augmented. One of the failure modes should not be “guy forgot thing”.

Why blame Reagan? He was president 35 years ago and has been dead for 20 years. Why not blame any number of people who held the same office between then and now who have equivalent…

> At some point you need to treat people as adults, which includes letting them make very bad decisions if they insist on doing so. That's right, it's your decision to use Android.…
