I think that's what's ringing to me about the whole piece. There is a large assumption of equity. There is this section header: > Everyone will have free or affordable access to th…

This paragraph is wild. > As a thought experiment, imagine only one person had a superintelligent lawyer. They would have an unfair advantage in court -- even if they were wrong on…

Throwback to a brief moment when everyone wanted to support IFTTT. If I remember, it ran out of steam because it takes away eyeballs from the actual application (social networks in…

Money pit indeed! At Graycliff, the one he designed before Falling Water, there are no gutters or downspouts. The tour guide told us that Wright didn’t want them disrupting the hor…

It never ceases to amaze me how Wright's style was so ahead of the times. A lot of people immediately think the houses are mid-50's but they're in fact 20 to 30 years earlier! If y…

I think it would be hard not just because of the amount of variables you have to model for but mainly it just might not be fun--or the fun would be very niche. In "Oxygen Not Inclu…

One would make a long education video to hold eyeballs longer that can lead to more ad revenue (if that's your goal and your video is sufficiently entertaining). I've commented abo…

This was as good read and articulates many of the "what about this" sort of questions I've been having around the news. This clip ( https://youtu.be/smemFVe0l5E?t=5418 ) of Tucker …

I think the title of this could be more precisely phrased “Stop Giving Me Background Information About My Question, Just Give Me the Answer.” My go-to example for this is when I on…

joy.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to whit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not pr…

They are not necessarily mutually exclusive terms, you could have a fascist monarchy as much as you could have a liberal one. Monarchy describes the system of government as ruled b…

Article V is likely the loophole he saw. It is however monumentally hard to amend the constitution even with the extreme gerrymandering of today. I was surprised it has actually be…

“When I was young my late grandmother, who was a hiring manager, would tell her superiors that I was a very strong candidate and passed the interview with flying colors before I we…

*the ruling of Citizens United vs FEC. For those unaware of it here’s a great podcast episode summarizing how it’s really cooked everything in politics: https://www.fivefourpod.com…

Additionally, the DOE has been pulling funds from interconnect projects that have been years in the works! Apparently there is a modest gas turbine shortage so even natural gas won…

This is definitely something I remind myself of for any investment I sell and later on explodes. For bitcoin there were way too many highs that I definitely would have sold at.

The date on that post says a lot more about the state of hiring in ‘21-22 than overemployment (though 10 is a ridiculous amount). Everyone was over-hiring, ZIRP, etc. Then the musi…

When I was still making YouTube videos my big rule was "make videos you yourself would watch" (which may not necessarily reflect what is popular). I tried doing some programming vi…

I interned at a small company that made an app for doing Amazon arbitrage right when the FBA program was new. The founder said something I think about regularly: "everything anyone…

When I read articles like this I don't know whether to think I have some decent job security or not. On the one hand, people graduating having used LLM's for a significant majority…

“The Great Leap Backwards”

I think this is the common-sense response. The push back I've heard is that endowments are apportioned to specific things. That is, it's not an open piggy bank. Nevertheless, $50B …

This is a really good compilation that should make any "free-speech absolutist" reconsider their support for the current administration. In my understanding, the commonplace interp…
