There’s an ego element though. Being mission driven and choosing to work for Anthropic is implicitly validating of the “peril” and of the leadership team as the ones to steer throu…

Certainly room for such discussion. However if the parent waits to first save a large sum before moving there (instead of moving there straight out of high school), their revealed …

If you have dependents that are children, I feel there is a moral consideration. If you have earned $1M and then take the family to live who-knows-where slowly drawing on that $1M.…

If it's just sitting there in your kitchen beckoning you, I think that's called beer pressure?

There seems to be a line of thinking that past unicorn startups had bad risk-reward profiles, and therefore a good founder should be taking lots of bad risks. If they take good ris…

I’m not sure where this idea came from that farming was idle and only industry required constant work. Every hundred-year old book I’ve ever read that features farming includes the…

It’s rather “libertarians as cats”. The heroism of being content doing nothing but drink some coffee, stands upon the backs of hundreds of people seeking to better themselves who b…

I have also found that equivalent rewrites are one of the best applications for formal. Other examples can be things like vectorizing code while proving the vectorized version is f…

Discoverability starts to break for new authors when more new books are published each day than humans on the earth. Established authors have the name recognition to compete as you…

It wasn’t long ago at all that the chief problem was “can AI even help me with this” (cost be damned). Until a time when the answer is an unmitigated “yes, obviously”, the frontier…

The alternative to the rationalist one is “be suspicious of anyone who claims to know the unarguable truth”

It's like modeling a living cell in a computer building upon the basic maths of physics. Yes, it is a thing that is "possible". However it is not practicable to capture everything …

The “affordable” housing thing seems like such a misdirection. I can’t help but daydream that some moneyed interest somewhere fans those flames, as it looks like a dead end that ca…

If we’re just spitballing, it certainly could be that, but it’s also obvious that publishing papers can help communicate your existing work. AI can definitely help at that, and eve…

You describe it like it’s some kind of a treadmill chasing new. But if you have kids at 35, they start school when you’re 40.. were you thinking about the quality of the neighborho…

My assumption is somewhere in the harness toolchain there's a prompt inject that says: - Always sign commit messages In which case, Claude is being given conflicting instructions, …

Any affect from CO2 specifically seems weak. Clean air in broadly good though, and high CO2 is a good proxy for stale air. So I’m always supportive of people caring and paying atte…

The basic purpose of patents is to make it worthwhile to develop something new and valuable. They are unnatural - but useful. Working backwards, if we want people to spend time and…
