I am actively researching this friction and others like it. I would love it if you happened to have recommendations for literature that 3rd parties can use to corroborate your experience (I’ve found some, but this is harder to uncover than

This appears to coincide with the rapid rise of my wealthier friends taking extended holidays in Croatia. It wasn’t the cool thing to do, now suddenly it’s a must-see place. I didn’t get the memo about that, apparently. I wonder if it’s hav

Not to mention that we really are much more similar to chimps than they’re giving us credit for. If we ate a relatively low calorie, high protein diet, and maintained an active lifestyle, we’d all be pretty damn muscular and lean. Not roide

As Bitcoin increases in value, the reward for breaking into wallets grows. Satoshi’s is the ultimate target here, followed by wallets used to burn currencies. Some of these look like they’d only be brute forceable and that takes more time a

I have been thinking of a project extremely similar to this for a totally different purpose. It’s lovely to see something like this. Thank you for sharing it, inspiring

I would love to read this and other material. Got links?

I’ve been thinking about building precisely that sort of tech tree for a while, then extending it forwards in time to see if we can guess at how to work backwards from hypothetical technologies to where we are or if we can see obvious gaps

I really like what they’re going for but I’m disappointed in the outcome (so far). Then again, Apple has always managed to have a glaring oversight in design somewhere — “just hold your phone differently!”

This sounds like you’ve found a citation ring, but with all the trimmings of legitimacy. Has it had similar benefits for your career?

In my experience it’s one or the other: attend all the lecturers and nullify the need to study more than that attendance and some specific exam revision if they drop hints or don’t attend but do the readings. I think a lot of being a succes

I have been doing this for purely aesthetic reasons my whole life. Style guides be damned, I hate connected em dashes.

If we’re talking strictly about producing energy, yes, but this isn’t a method for more efficient or desirable solar energy production. This is an attempt to recreate the biomanufacturing processes of plants, so that we can use solar energy

Where can one reliably learn about rare earths in the supply chain, refining abilities, what’s actually important for which tech, etc? I feel like I read very different views on this stuff all the time at different levels of granularity.

Having recently walked away from that exact situation miraculously unscathed (the teenage drunk drivers also managed to walk away somehow), that’s an interesting insight into the type of injury I avoided. Grim, scary, but very interesting.

This would be a really good read if anything like it exists somewhere. Do you have notes, more to say, a direct link to relevant work, anything?

Yes. Adversity is only good for development if it’s a strong enough signal to require growth while also being within the range of adaptability, relative to your environment (support system, resources, etc.). A given event might wipe out Chi

Yes, but outcomes are largely multi-realisable. It’s true that nature has a big role to play, but I think a lot of that role is expressed in how it changes nurture dynamics. A shy child might not develop productive, healthy confrontation an

Yes, but the user is using it in a derogatory sense, not the friendly meme sense. Referring to someone as “girlie” can be either. I would assume this is just a way of referring to a collective they dislike or don’t respect; they’re not just

They’re right until they’re wrong. AI is (was?) a stochastic parrot. At some point AI will likely be more than that. The tipping point may not be obvious.

I’d push it further than you, even, and have been thinking this way for a while. The economy is AI. I know that’s a ridiculously simplistic way to put it and a network of individual actors doesn’t function identically, but for all intents a

Can you explain how pascal’s mugging functions with respect to risk rather than reward?

What constitutes a “professional headshot” is nothing more than a set of shared norms. Those norms will change rapidly (and have been changing, actually) to include AI Generated headshots. You can already find plenty of headshots that are a

Respiratory efficiency is a pillar of health and performance, from sleep to hunting and fighting. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that marginal gains make a big difference and can be passed on.

Now the question is how can I, someone without a PhD in history but currently a PhD candidate in another discipline, use these tools to reliably interrogate topics of interest and produce at least a graduate level understanding of them? I k

It felt much more like forced error than unforced error or, thematically, the closest thing I’ve seen to a milling strategy in chess. Just make them keep drawing until they’re out of ideas.

This iterative process hasn’t led to better results than my best effort, but it has led to 90% of my best in a fraction of the time. That’s especially true if I have curated a list of quotes, key phrases, and research literature I know I wa
