To me, the pitch is take whatever you wanted to do with traditional technology and run a distributed lottery game for cash and prizes on top of it. A database with a game show comp…

I think it is even beyond this. Most of the time humans are talking about the wonders of polywater to each other. A giant game of telephone telling each other complete nonsense. "T…

IMO the whole idea is basically bullshit when applied to everyone as a blanket statement. I know I would not be a good parent. I know I would resent the kid. It is bizarre to me to…

To me it is an absurd comparison. Someone stealing a billion dollars is committing a far worse crime than someone that murders me. The problem I have with this is imagine what a st…

Maybe more useful if hierarchical relationships exist but I just love treemaps in general. I love the way they can make the most of that given screen space. A bar chart would not b…

There is so much wisdom in the old saying you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. Humans are just such stubborn creatures. chatGPT3.5 hallucinated packages. ch…

Totally agree. What is hard to see right now in business is talked about by Charlie Munger in Poor Charlie's Almanac. What you describe will save your company money because you are…

The most profound thing I have read is a short mention in I See Satan Fall Like Lighting. Something like the more we become the same , the more we become engulfed in mimetic rivalr…

If you are low balling yourself on salary in a cheaper cost of living area you can't compare yourself against someone in San Francisco who is good at negotiating and bragging about…

I don't have kids, I find children to be annoying at best but even I can not imagine not paying teachers so much as to make it a prestigious job that is tough to get. From just a p…

It certainly has interesting ideas in small doses but knowing about your heuristics and biases doesn't mean you still don't fall victim to them. The real issue I have with the book…

Just an absurd statement. We have good statistics on this. 84% of people aged 18 to 29 use at least one social media site.

I would say that is because there is nothing to compare barber shop music too. I am a big fan of Terry Riley's - Harp of New Albion exactly because its five-limit just intonation p…

I just got 5.27% annualized on a 4 week US tbill while the Japanese 2 year is all the way up to 0.18% today. Taking short term rates from negative to zero is just going to slow the…

I hope this isn't a sign of what is to come in music. We can do anything imaginable with AI and instead we just make really shitty Dolly Parton music reboots. Maybe we can do AI To…

I just tried Suno and the results to me are terrible. It seems designed for making pop music no one will listen to. I have spent many hours with MusicLM making wild experimental mu…

Exactly. I have always wanted to play around with experimental film making but not enough to find a group of actors let alone pay them. The negative reaction to this reminds me of …

The AI bubble aspect has really been overblown at this point. Is the Columbia ETF up 44% year over year because of AI? Ireland is up 33%. Must be all that Irish AI.

I couldn't really disagree more. It is a ridiculous comparison. Anyone into experimental film making can see this is basically the ultimate creative tool. If you can't see the crea…
