Of course you get down voted.So many delusional people on this forum that believe themselves to be experts in all domains because they get well paid to write javascript. We will ju…

Not that far, I think this is Meta Orion but it is still a little bit early. https://www.meta.com/emerging-tech/orion/

Without irony, I actually find the South China Morning Post probably the most unbiased, straight on US news. It also acts as a filter for important US events since they aren't moti…

I think part of the problem is that people have the wrong mental models currently. I am a non-software engineer and I fully expect someday to be a professional "vibe coder". It wil…

To me, it is just obviously wrong. Reality is not reasonable and it is actually unreasonable that we would even expect reality to be reasonable. Our reason is a highly flawed instr…

Crying of Lot 49 is wonderful and I am not really a big fiction fan. I will have to give Vineland and Inherent Vice a shot. Gravity's Rainbow is just a lost cause for me with the s…

I find this perspective just incredibly dull. As if the measure of interesting is the attention of trash, click bait journalists. To me, it is why most people and places have becom…

They would certainly go for more than that. Ross didn't paint anything I find even remotely interesting but for $1k, I would buy 20 or 30 Bob Ross paintings right now and sit on th…

I am full remote for a very small, non-software business but I think even for us we are probably losing productivity vs the office. I think child care is a big driver but no one ca…

He was basically a complete loser during his lifetime is my understanding. I believe part of his clothing was because he was totally broke. A broke surrealist eccentric alcoholic w…

I would also add Satie's Nocturnes are just as good and just as beautiful.

Zappa listed his influences on Freak Out. I love Satie but don't really hear him in Zappa's music. Pamela Zarubica, Art Laboe, Hal Zeiger, Jim Guercio, Henry Vestine, Alice Stewart…

Avril 14th is absolutely lovely but I think even Richard would probably say it is a Satie ripoff.

I think they can make abstract links across domains. Like the prompt "How can a simplicial complex be used in the creation of black metal guitar music?" https://chatgpt.com/share/6…

Exactly, the train has already left the station. I think Rick Rubin has it right that this is a kind of "punk" coding and I think vibe coding is actually a good term in that regard…

It isn't true, it is obvious bullshit. It is like making the argument that the most accurate view of life is doing nothing because we are all going to die anyway.

I just got a quest 3 a few months ago. The quest 3 itself is amazing but I feel like they already have given up on the "metaverse". It is pretty shocking how little there is inside…

It isn't a fair test at this point though because the stupidity of the average human would be too obvious.

How can you not see that if everyone gets X amount of UBI, the cost of everything goes up until you can no longer live on X. It is such basic economics I just can't believe we even…

If everyone gets $13k a year the price of everything will go up until people will no longer be able to live on $13k a year. Then you have to raise the UBI amount and then raise eve…

It is a beyond stupid argument. What is imprecise is not counting calories at all. It is so easy to fool yourself and think you are eating 30% less calories than you really are. Yo…

It is a stupid argument. The choice is between the mafia or this. This is better than the mafia. Any other argument is basically utopian. I love mafia history though so I think man…

The copium is I think many people got comfortable post financial crisis with nothing much changing or happening. I think many people really liked a decade stretch with not much mor…

My guess would be this is just nonsense. No one has an eating too much protein problem. The average person has a sitting on their ass problem that leads to all kinds of health issu…
