There was a really interesting post against Elon Musk’s argument that AI will destroy us all. The article made lots of counter arguments about why AI won’t destroy us all. I can’t find it even after lots of searching.

#192An article about some species of octopuses that have a relatively high IQ, but since the parents die before their offspring comes to life, every generation have to relearn everything from scratch. IIRC, the lack of inter-generational communication deprived this species from developing to the level its IQ permits. I wish I can find that piece again!
Could it be this was actually a reddit comment? https://np.reddit.com/r/woahdude/comments/3x2cgv/octopus_mak...

#195Someone mentioned a scifi short story with link to online version that I followed & read. The story was about a uploaded-human AI-spaceship that for a time worked as a asteroid miner. After a single overmind takes over 1st the inner planets, then the whole solar system, the protagonist to flee to insterstellar space, but is pursued by an overmind ship. Been trying to find the story/title/author since, with no success…
I remember that story, but I sadly can't point you to a link. If you liked that story, you might also like The Egg [ ], though, which I also found via HN. [ ] http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html
Asterisks don't work as you expect on HN.

#196There was an article with a slideshow embedded about how to make good presentations. It consisted of choosing fonts and stuffs. It was really interesting. I thought I had bookmarked it but I lost it somehow.

#197I don't know if it was on HN, but I remember reading about productivity research concerning the length of the workweek. IIRC 25h week improved productivity compared to 40h. The study may have been done in Germany. But I haven't been able to find it or similar studies of high quality since.

#198There was a comment about the theory, that emotions are not represented in the body but actually happen there. And we learn to interpret the bodily state as having an emotion. Can't find it.
Not sure if that was article, but catching up with my fire hazard of paper subscriptions I recently read this article on emotion intelligence and that theory of what emotion is: http://nautil.us/issue/51/limits/emotional-intelligence-need...

#199I got this one of reddit a long time ago[1], but maybe someone here knows where to find it.
A blog post laying out why Japan prefers "gadgets" over PCs, due to their complex writing system requiring more RAM, causing all early PCs to be more expensive. The post was really well written with pictures and price comparisons between US and Japanese versions of (if memory serves me right) Amigas and Commodores and other systems.
[1] Maybe before the release of the iPhone, but definitely before the release in Japan

#200An article about someone telling his experience of slowly growing a business (targeted at school teacher if I remember correctly) year after year eventually led to a sizeable lifestyle business.
