The obvious irony of such formal studies and their confident reveal is that, as people who've had animals (particularly mammals) as part of their close 'family' long term, we know all that. In so much greater detail (10-20 fu

The problem is that part of "the people" that these new digital world corporations are dictating to... is 'our governments'. I mean, the big ones are more powerful than most of the world's countries. And in ways inc

I had an abusive stepfather who began seriously hitting me when I was 6. No change to any family court system or foster care system would've changed that a single whit. Those may be the primary factors you've settled upon for your

It's a complex fantasy humanity has made up, where our current generational burnout is instead given names like autism and ADHD - so that we can pretend that we have something to "fix". The irony is that the goal of the fix i

We are up to the iphone 18 now. The iphone is said to be about 50% of Apple's revenue since 2012. Regardless of app developer quality, it is quite literally Apple's now-well-honed job to ensure that enough people want to buy nex

Not at all. They're remarkably similar. What differs is our cost:benefit analysis of closing off this errata. Yours (inferred) is "Too Much : Zero". Given that those are terminal values it would challenging for literally-any-

Parents define a person. Yes genetically-of-course, but equally by being their primary and formative influences in almost everything. And obviously, functional parenting quality ranges from great to traumatic to non-existent. Therefore ther

One of your major choices is how much you want to specialise, vs be a general service. I expect you're in the phase of discovering that. Now, with the disclaimer I'm just a random guy who knows not-much about business - and is ju

As everybody privileged-to-know knows, a long term partner becomes an equal, and you theirs. One of life's greatest blessings. There is nothing like it.

I realised that reference would not be well understood, so edited it out. FYI it was a reference to fictional character Michael Scott from television production The Office (US). The characters main trait was unintended verbal faux pas, wher

Why even choose a mental health condition as the linguistic pivot point for a zingy social phrase?

The answer is quite patently that, in this brave new world, people with noticeable writing skill will face that false cry on a regular basis from the literary lowest-common-denominator.

I think that highlights one of the reasons why, in this case, hardware has not been hard. (besides the fact that you are very clever) The value you have created is actually more in the App than in the hardware. As a maker of small devices (

The opposition you face is purely statistical, based on the fact that alcohol is by far the most commercially successful recreational drug. When statistics are so biased, quality of objective argument is swamped by simple numbers.

While using GPTs to explore my own bias, I liked the re-phrasing "the chemical opens a window so that the profoundly human experience of care, safety, and novel emotion can finally get through to a brain that had walled itself off&quot

It may simply be that the intense disruption of a 5 hour long experience of chemically-induced novel pleasures - in people who'd long forgotten any form of enjoyment at all - while also being under special attention from caring profess

We can certainly pick apart any given data point. It doesn't change the overarching sentiment that guns are a subject that attracts considerably larger attention in the USA than in any other 'developed' nation. Pick any numbe

>It was a good discussion topic about why adults get so bothered by things that look like guns. I think that's because parent-child is the strongest bond known to humanity, so anything symbolic of (or against) child safety evokes th

Playing off different LLMs against one another in that kind of manner is a good way to expose some first order errors.

Interesting point. The prompts are the source, in a way.

This task has what I'd call asymmetrical reciprocity. That is, it's probably easier for the development professional to code a pretend version of chopping wood, than it is for the professional axeman to chop out a pretend version

As an interesting (and yes, a bit sad) twist on that notion - and, if I may say so, coincidentally a bit of a bridge between my comment-fellow SubiculumCode's two different areas of research - my personal empirical experience was that

One truth I've observed from decades of keen hobbyist involvement in guitar music and playing is that a lifetime of music is largely an individual journey. The fact that some players learn by transcribing, while others learn by jamming

Not to suggest that analogies solve anything, but perhaps it adds large-scale context to mention that throughout history various (and frequent!) events of technological disruption have had similar effect upon particular fields of work. I us
