How can one not understand that UBI is captured by inflation. Its just a modern religion really because anyone can understand this it is so basic and obvious. You don't have to poi…

She is obviously a true believer or very clever self promoter that knows her target market. The real question is why is such stupid shit like this being posted here? Anthropic is a…

Sounds like the current zeitgeist. Seems like it should be useful beyond demos but we aren't sure what those use cases would be. Just need to wait for AGI and then.. I have actuall…

I can't think of any effective marketing in my entire life that didn't involve repetition. I think when people say they need to learn marketing they really mean they want to learn …

I would look up how medical students use Anki. The efficient part would be learning to make cards and decks efficiently. I can't imagine going back to school and not using Anki.

I think many people have anxiety from a type of cognitive dissonance in this area. They don't want to make friends, they want someone else to want to be their friend so they know t…

Grand Transitions: How the Modern World Was Made by Vaclav Smil Just a wonderful book.

Not saying I agree with the parent comment but the reason would be because the concept of the efficient market is overly simplistic nonsense? It is really a great example of how mu…

Even then though, there is a giant global debit maturity wall from covid that needs refinancing at much higher interest rates that starts coming due in 2026 and 2027. That is much …

Or read Sapolsky on how this line of though is simply stupid and ignorant.

No irony in this comment lol.

Embarrassingly, I spent even longer with Midjourney to come to the same conclusion. It really isn't an issue with AI art but the limited, uncreative output of AI art models. I susp…

I took off 18 months in my early 40s to study a few subjects that really do not have much economic value. I would say it was ultimately a mistake. While I stormed out of the gate I…

It is worse than that though. Credit markets don't work without inflation and none of this progress in the last 400 years happens without credit markets. The age of this bond and t…

We also seem to suffer these automation delusions right now. I could see how AI could assist me with learning pure math but the idea AI is going to do pure math for me is just absu…

I just really doubt this when it comes to China. Betting against China being able to build anything at this point seems pretty dumb. Almost delusional I would say.

The problem is I thought kids would have been doing this 15 years ago already by using the internet to learn more and more. This is not our culture. We don't have a culture that is…

I think many here think they are Claude Shannon himself so using something like Claude is just below such a genius.

No, this is a stupid idea for people who don't know anything about boxing. Effective aggression and ring generalship are subjective human judgements. Boxing results are varied beca…

It gives me value but I am not even sure it is $20 a month of value at this point. It was in 2023 but I picked all the low hanging fruit. More importantly though, where is all the …

I agree and as a non-software engineer, all that matters to me right now is how much can these models replace software engineering. If a language model can't solve problems in a pr…

I would guess you haven't spent much time driving in the winter in the Northeast. There is an inherent danger to driving in snow and ice. It is a PR nightmare waiting to happen bec…

IMO the question doesn't make sense. You can't make music without learning an instrument. Maybe the instrument is a computer with PD or DAW software but it is still a musical instr…

You are taking effective birth control completely for granted. It wasn't that long ago that monogamy was the default because no one wants to have a baby from a night of netflix and…

To believe this is paranoid is rather delusional really. You should try reading less political bullshit that is rotting your brain.
