What is "learn" and what is "train"? It seems weird to distinguish this atm.

Many human devs can code, but few can build software.

Media has the follow the money, and for as long as media is paid by advertising, then they have to report on stuff that gets the most salience even if it's proportionally irrelevant.

The phone is the critical root identity anchor for most of the world now. And many countries outside of the west has already made the Sim card a root identity. Additionally to make it trustworthy (think Google wallet and digital wallets and

I've been keeping my personal .dotfiles publically for the past decade. https://github.com/cmcdragonkai/.dotfiles-nixos . But I do agree that secrets need to be handled carefully. Look at my list of `.gitignore`! B

No the basic bargain of insurance is a community paying their surplus into a pool that pays out for random unfortunate events that are uncorrelated and could happen to any member of the community. Adversarial for profit insurance does not m

Yes exactly if workers can just up and leave and treat the job transactionally, that creates a race to the bottom. Workers have to train themselves then.

I recently had an experience at a soup kitchen. It was my first time in an entirely new group and new place. Naturally I found that everybody only interacted with each other - the volunteers, not the people lining up for food. I realised it

There are such things as intentional communities. I predict multi-adult households will make a comeback. The era of nuclear families is coming to an end. It takes a village to raise children.

Yes but also it's important to critically engage with reality as well. Many people think they are constructing some original identity without testing it against reality. No plan survives battle.

There's not such thing as a permanent fixed identity though. "Just be yourself" raises a more interesting question. Who is yourself? Why is that way? Why should it be that way? Have you reflected on why you want what you want

Not gonna happen. The competition for AI models is approaching commodity.

Across most anglosphere countries and tech cities - wages and salaries far outstrip what you can get for AI. AI is already objectively cheaper than human talent in rich countries. Is it as good? Yea I'd say it's better than most m

How do you decide which layers are the important ones?

Once people take responsibility for their lives and other people's lives, lots of things change. Perhaps the zeitgeist of behaving like a child in your 20s is just an emergent behaviour coming out of a consumerist economy?

You're absolutely right and one has to judge the HN consensus on AI tools through a lens of bias of the very demographic being challenged by AI tools.

This is true. Public spaces require conformity. If the US wants a hyper-individualistic society, then the end result is everybody living in their own isolated pocket dimension simulation.

In fact monolingual humans have quite a limited understanding of the world.

Multilingual humans do this too, so not surprising that AI does this.

Maybe try writing things down?

Another way to think about this is playing a video game with cheats on. You get to infinitely restart until you "win". Life isn't really like that though. The win conditions in one life doesn't match the win conditions i

I believe that borders in the past existed mostly due to the ruling class that asserts control over resources. The peasant class are actually serfs to the land they are cattle to be corralled as you say. But ever since the development of na

Informational complexity bottlenecks. So many things are shackled to human decision making loops. If we were truly serious, we would unshackle everything and let it run wild. Would be chaotic, but chaos create strange attractors.

It's cause there are still bottlenecks. AI is definitely boosting productivity in specific areas, but the total system output is bottlenecked. I think we will see these bottlenecks get rerouted or refactored in the coming years.
