So it happened. My company is cutting my hours. This has never happened to me before over a 10 year career (which has mostly been at other places). Between the layoffs at Twitter, …

I don't know if you have noticed that if you copy+paste into email pages/apps like outlook and gmail they bring over all the formatting and styling of the source. That is, it paste…

The trick is to keep that going in the longterm. I did manage to lose that amount of weight in the same amount of time as well, but ended up gaining it back in under 5 years, which…

There's a nice substack I found that is precisely about this problem and wider variations of it, that is, the problem of figuring out numbers that actually tell you something about…

I love The Darkness that Comes Before, where this observation is explored and exploited, in case you have not read it.

You think there are "vast secret legions of domestic terrorists flashing one another the OK sign in shadowy parking lots behind Bass Pro Shops experiencing “temporary” inflation"? …

LeCun is interesting. The way he reasons about AI X-risk makes him seem like a retard, let's not mince words. He's an actual example of a mind so specialized that it has lost the c…

Regarding Garcia Martinez, I am still surprised "straight male" is such a disadvantage that being POC doesn't buy enough oppression points to allow you to criticize white women. Th…

Interesting. I wasn't sure about blacks' position relative to jews on the oppression stack. I guess jews are actually above them (i.e. blacks cannot criticize jews the way they can…

That isn't about grammar. Presumably, this "I" is real. Can you find it in the world? If you say it's the brain, there's only elementary particles there, same as everything else. W…

He wrote a book called Two Hundred Years Together about the Jews in Russia. It wouldn't surprise me if it really is antisemitic, but it's utterly pathetic to give a damn about the …
