"I think its a fair point to say that most of humanity will probably be dead within 20-30 years. " Why do I even read this stupid fucking website

Anyone working remote is just talking nonsense on this subject. I am related to a journeyman electrician and journeyman welder. They would give it up to work remote in a second.

As someone who has used zero social media in 10 years, this is incredibly trivial. No one complains about being hopelessly addicted to listening to audio books or doing anki flashc…

Animals fly by flapping their wings, hence an airplane is not really flying. It can't even land safely in a tree!

I will never work in an office again but I suspect that the good/hard workers, are slightly more productive with work from home and are happier if they want to work remote. The sla…

There is a linear relationship between fat loss and caloric restriction until about 7 or 8% body fat. The idea that caloric restriction is causing all this muscle loss is one of th…

Tolerance for ideas one disagrees with has a very short history in space and time. Intolerance in this area seems to be the long run equilibrium and we are simply returning from a …

I consume many audiobooks and I usually love an audiobook narrator to the point they are a value add itself or I hate the way they speak and I literally can't read the book. The fo…

Protein powder is 90% marketing that is a distortion of reality and research for marketing purposes. None of this matters unless you are only getting your protein from one source. …

I listened to the Cursor team on Lex Fridman yesterday. The biggest thing I took away is they have some wild ideas with having agents running in the background that are following w…

I am in the same spot as a non-software engineer. If you are using multiple programming languages though you really can't say you are a non-programmer. I just got up and running wi…

Maybe because my salary doesn't depend on any of this that I think this whole framing is science fiction. A calculator needs direction on what to calculate because the machine does…

I suspect many people are simply not that intellectually curious about the world. It a super power for the intellectually curious while the highly specialized that thought they wer…

It wouldn't be shocking to me that in 30 years, your daughter would be tasked with writing a whole book and not just an essay. Part of the learning process is learning to leverage …

Seems obvious to me too as someone who sucks at dancing but loves fitness. Like saying the heart worked harder with people on a treadmill at 4 miles per hour than 3 miles per hour.…

Thanks. That is a really great idea.

You are just wrong. Before the camera, portrait painting was how most painters would make their living and the camera upended that completely. On the last line, look up hyperrealis…

We have already been through this with music. It doesn't really work that way. Over time, it really does just devalue the art form in a sense because now anyone can make a recordin…

"Rap isn't even music, they aren't even singing!" You are just expressing the same, uncreative, ignorant opinion that is always expressed when we come upon a NEW ART FORM.

Temporal graph visualization is quite lacking. It probably depends what one time slice of your network looks like. If you have 10 to 20 nodes without a ton of edges you could use a…

It is because the goalposts were wrong. We once thought that a computer could not beat a grandmaster in chess or pass the Turing test without some undefined special human property.…

I am fully remote and have only been in the office once this year. I really miss the social aspect but that is it. Everything I miss about the office is the opposite of productive.…

You can't underestimate this being a bot playground/training ground with no particular purpose beyond getting the bot to say realistic/interesting replies. I have zero interest in …

The idea of uploading my passport in order to talk on a social network is quite delusional. I would say LLMs have told me more interesting things than any human has in the past yea…

I wouldn't be surprised if it is an entirely throw away bargaining chip. "Ok, Ok, we will give up on the anti-automation demands but we aren't budging on the wage increase demands!…
