Claude is not a single tool like a power drill or saw so I don't feel like this analogy fits well. Claude is more similar to the entire workshop and a robot using the tools and then you telling the robot what to build. So maybe that ca

Agreed, and unfortunately for the group of us who did realize this and pushed back are seen as luddites and just don't understand how amazing the technology is.

Along with this, the thing that helped me the most was learning to run much slower. I would always run at an uncomfortable pace that would jack my heart rate up and have me huffing and puffing. Then I learned about "Zone 2" traini

I found this reddit thread regarding running injury prevention and how foam-rolling and stretching may not be as beneficial as might seem interesting [0]. I also enjoy foam-rolling as it tends to alleviate soreness the day after a run/

I think this parallels really well with the question of how much privacy people are willing to give up for the convenience of digital services. In both cases, it seems like we are increasingly willing to give up privacy and trust in the nam

I actually find Amazon to be pretty amazing at discovery, but it's dependent on the "Customers who bought this item also bought" section under a book I know I like or am interested in. I don't go to Amazon books just to

That's a crazy thought. It's also a crazy thought to extrapolate that process all the way to how current first world countries operate. You can kind of start to bridge the gap between the two and see that our society is just an ex

For sure, this is a prime example of Goodhart's law in action. Before Amazon came along, I rarely depended on reading reviews before buying a product. Yes, there were definitely sites where reviews helped persuade a purchase, for examp

You're super hopeful if you think people don't idolize Patrick Bateman, but they do. People don't see the story, they see a young, good-looking Christian Bale with a powerful suit on walking the streets of NYC with headphones

People post fewer photos, but that shouldn't be confused with having less of an influence on social culture. Now each post carries much more weight, and therefor is more heavily curated to show that person's perfect life. It goes

I agree with your last sentence. Furthering that point, I'm inspired to get into something because I've seen someone be really good at it. I would think most people who want to learn guitar do so not because they've never pla
