A lot of money is made this way. It'll take an act of Congress (or something on that level) but many of us are already "on the take" so to speak, so I doubt it'll ever happen.

Years ago I joined a spiritual workshop called The Art of Living in San Francisco. There was a lot of mindfulness, and the instructor followed the curriculum, except for one partic…

There's never been a single day in history without war. Indeed, there's never been a moment in all of biological life without violent conflict. In high school, I had a visitor from…

Vietnam is extremely safe because there are communities everywhere. There are old folks watching young folks. One viet friend said there's an expression "rice-powered cameras" whic…

I created a Gemini project and trusted just that folder. I custom built godot with a module in a sibling directory, which it shouldn't have access to, but was able to run 'strings'…

For me, this is the point of the article. People fought and the best decision was the result. And I suspect there's a fundamental cultural difference that makes the fight much less…

I used to have bassdrive on. So good.

Sorry I didn't mention maturity matters. "The game" is truly complex, so 2 more things: First, nearly every western girl goes thru a "hoe" phase. This is when they're figuring them…

Yes "the game" is actually impossibly complex for any book to capture, and I agree much tech has made it more challenging in many ways. I do have to recognize that quite a few of m…

In 2013, I went to Pebble Beach for an expensive car show. I met a couple guys that started newlydivorceddating.com. They told me they purchased thousands of fake starter profiles,…

This is going to sound a bit wild, and only viable under 70 or so, but I've met a lot of 55-70 expats in walkable southeast asian cities. There's obviously varying circumstances so…

I've personally found that the most comfortable human spaces incorporate layers of exposure as described in the article. I also find our cats' preferences to mirror ours (even when…

SCIP is a "nod" to SICP

As a nomad, can confirm. Coming back to America, the scale and quality of materials is remarkable.

There has never been a moment in the known history of humanity without war going on somewhere in the world.

I wish there was a way for HN to sponsor scale up so that sites have more availability for the HN hug of death

I've thought the same about a few of my founders/executives. "You either die the good guy or live long enough to become the bad guy" The "bad guy" actually learns that their former…

I'm curious if there's any hard data on how LLM SEO compares to traditional SEO. My gut tells me that LLM SEO will be harder to game than traditional SEO.

I cherish my UCSD education and (equally, if not more) all the socializing that came with it. The concept (and aims) of university faces the same headwinds of any business based on…

I have a theory that corruption+nepotism are unstoppable forces of nature. Advanced governments only force corruption to distribute and obfuscate. I think this is why there appears…

iirc, when Eliza came out, many people briefly believed it was sentient

I think this paragraph from the wikipedia article captures it nicely: >Many observers disagree that any meaningful "productivity paradox" exists and others, while acknowledging the…
