Just to note, comparing existing economic systems in different countries can lead to very flawed conclusions. The solutions won't necessarily come from mimicking a particular syste…

You are right, I extrapolated a bit too far.

I am just a stranger on the Internet, so I apologize in advance if my comments/questions are irrelevant. > In a very real sense, my most impactful choices were in the beginning, bu…

I am an atheist but it's preposterous to dismiss the fact that a vast number of people find healing in organized or individualized religion. Or to suggest that the sole purpose of …

I witnessed spiritual bypass many times in the context of people becoming "spiritual" as an emotional avoidance strategy. It's even more tragic in my experience because at least tr…

Haven't watched Drive My Car yet, but just from the trailer it looks like it's exploring loss and grief rather than the most poignant type of regret of losing something due to own …

I am expecting Waymo to launch their own autonomous vehicle with a simplified body, no steering wheel, etc. They can bring down the cost as they scale. Resale value is not somethin…

Not going to happen, too many risks. If anything, the future is autonomous vehicles without a steering wheel. I am expecting Waymo to invest into that next, after they finish expan…

What's the value of a beacon vs vision+Lidar for autonomous vehicles?

It's safe to say that the impact on one's emotional and mental state is vastly different. This is a wider discussion of porn vs music, not necessarily OF vs recorded music though.

From what I remember vegetarian/vegan food became very popular during the pandemic and then steadily declined in popularity after. Wonder if the work on this chain started a couple…

Good advice, thanks!

Could you elaborate? Symptoms of what?

Once in a while I look over the shoulder of a random person and see their browsing experience that is completely unusable: banners, popups, prompts... Was especially shocking to se…

That's right, Daedalus! Thanks for reminding me the name. I spent so much time in it - just floating around. It's actually possible to jump over the wall in several places and just…

Andrej Karpathy has very good video tutorials on how to write your own GPT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCc8FmEb1nY

I am not a gamer but was absolutely fascinated by a VR game on Oculus GO that I can't even find anymore. In the game, I was essentially a metal sphere that could "jump" and float t…

This is becoming the most valuable benefit of buying on Amazon. At least I can always return a broken product and not just eat the cost of the ever-decreasing quality of consumer e…

I really hope the phone starts making dial-up connection sounds when it slows down to 256 kbps.

I started just sending broken products back to Amazon. My DENON smart speaker broke outside of warranty (1.5 years), so I bought a new identical speaker and returned the broken one…

The website is using a scammy cookie consent modal. Why are respectable companies ok with that?

In the old days of DHTML when I was in my early teens this was the way I debugged very messy JS scripts (like multi-level menus). Remove some code - see if it still breaks, remove …

As far as I know VK is not nearly as popular as Telegram specifically as a communication tool, aka a messaging app. WhatsApp and Telegram being by far the most popular options in R…
