    The same reason we don't have a race or sex limit on the Presidency. We should only have competency limits regardless of any other factors. My grandfather died at 101. He was extre…

    Search engines go through cycles of usefulness. I was using qwant for over a year, but their relevance has dropped off. I'm very happy with startpage at the moment as my Google sea…

    While thinking is somewhat of a background process, our brains don't just solve the mysteries of the universe while we eat a ham sandwich. We tell our brains which problems are of …

    There are parallels. You feed an LLM context data and then tell it what to focus on so it can pull relevant data. Maybe the entire process isn't like feeding an LLM, but that step …

    Although I've looked at the original report, it isn't clear if this $1M in annual income that they're comparing to the 1950's is inflation adjusted. The only comment I can find on …

    >making it harder for people to fail at adulting That has been the direction school has gone and, at least from my perspective, it seems worse. It has lead to a loss of agency amon…
