I'm commenting just because this needs some comments. Random programmer finds cancer treatment with ChatGPT. That deserves some comments.

This is absolutely amazing

I've subscribed to Kagi since 2023, and this response really gives me pause. Any support for totalitarian regimes like Russia or North Korea definitely forces me to reconsider bein…

So, I'm living in a Buddhist Monastery. This article basically details why. In Buddhism, we talk sometimes talk about how apathy is the "near enemy" of equanimity. That is, equanim…

If you want to meet English-speaking monks who are dedicated to following the monastic rules, consider going to monastery in the Ajahn Chah lineage. There are others that are perfe…

Sometimes I'm like, "Why do I still read Hacker News?" And then I read something like this, and I'm like, "This is why!"
