All writing is thinking when done by a human, you’re literally distilling your thoughts into words. You can’t write without thought. And not all thinking is writing is a clear truism, there’s no point to even stating that. Writing helps us

It’s one piece of many. They never said it was the only piece. You’re straw-manning this comment. And vegan diets would make a big dent, look up agricultural sector emissions, look up beef emissions and methane from their burps. It’s a majo

Wow obscure reference, the cookies are the AI in this? OpenAI and anthropic are Frog and Toad?

Flag this user for homophobic anti semitism, worst comment I’ve ever seen on HN. How are they green and allowed to comment 10 mins after creation?

Per capita emissions are way higher in the USA. It’d make a much bigger dent if Americans changed their ways than citizens of developing nations.

I don’t think it’s silly to say there’s a potential revolution and ask what it might be. Overly cynical comment I think, trying to be Vaclav Smil in a conversation not mentioning energy.

Might be a reference to the story at the beginning of A Brief History of Time, attributed to Bertrand Russell’s audience member. Full story in the book

Price point: they’ll be very low volume and very high price. There’s enough inequality and plenty of cash at the top to support such luxury robots. Everyone else will be doing their chores the old fashioned way, with their own hands.

“Never” is a bit presumptuous. Sure you didn’t use them that way, how do you know for sure others didn’t?

You don’t necessarily want to daydream. If you’re not careful, it becomes Negative rumination and mind wandering and that wouldn’t be as useful as an actual nap or a workout or meditation.

Wow! Can I ask how Kagi is best for your uses? Would love to try myself

Yeah that one was praising in a non-specific way. Whether or not it’s genuinely a user, it did feel like astroturfing, which is sad if it’s a real comment that they can’t compliment a good service.

Are many folks on HN using Facebook? To me, most tech savvy folks I know left it a decade ago. All the FB users I know are 60+

We should normalize taking gap years and doing public service before undergrad. If a kids uncertain about their future, should we push them into school at 18, or push them into national parks maintenance, inner city volunteering, or any oth

What about 17 year olds? Many kids have to decide before their 18th birthday. Even then, most kids turned 18 just months ago. Are they mature enough to sign?

Either they underestimate, which is ignorance, or they estimate properly and are anti-truth. What use do propagandists and fascists have for research? It only stands to continually disprove their lies. They obviously hate science and truth

“Brought on by government edict” No, brought on by a novel pathogen that killed 10 million people. It would’ve been much worse without government action.

Thin post with more ads for their company than arguments. Many pursuits are worthwhile, yet almost no one does most pursuits. Coding is going to become a niche activity like portrait painting or making toys. It’s fun but there’s far cheaper

Jeff doesn’t care what you do period. They’re in another plane, it’s some poor schmucks now with only a few million fighting for table scraps of the billionaires who don’t care.

You can’t. All you can do is realize every trip you take and every bite of beef is yet another drop in the bucket. Every vote for a denialist is probably worth 100s of burgers too, sad to say. You must choose if your hedonism outweighs the

You seem to forget about hydrogen bombs. War can 100% end everything.

Keep in mind total emissions grew much much faster in our lifetime (let’s say 1980-2026) than in the prior 200 years, which was before most of the recent huge growth in Chinese and Indian emissions. Also the ocean and arctic were absorbing

They never mention they could’ve been wrong. The author assumes they’re always right, but that trying to convince others and argue them to their right side is not valuable. How about: maybe I’m wrong and I didn’t let their ideas influence m

Problem is no one visits those sites. Everyone visits the same sources of content robotically, they need to be taken on a random walk by something to find new sites.

They don’t like heat? That seems incorrect. If true, Then why are they a huge problem in TX and other southerly areas, and are only now spreading north?

Do not do so if a cat will be anywhere near the clothes or compound. It’s super harmful to cats.

It’s a fair point about the valley’s tremendous wealth and problems, but what would Om say? It’s a little off the topic of remembering his life and work?
