The thing you love and made your identity was always the cruft middleman of getting from one place to another. People were sad when we moved from horses to cars; they loved their horses, they named them. That didn't stop the slow, gla

Well put and succinctly put. And if OxA is a flash model? it becomes: goodnight

The news we read is optimized for edge-event cases. Here it's about a particular number being hit. What's more interesting is the long, overarching news stories that span decades, e.g. BRICS, and the demise of the petro-dollar

Is this a stunt? Or is ARC-AGI-3 not an interesting bench?

This is exactly my take. Except I think there was never an interest by China to make the yuan the new global reserve currency but instead slow walk it back to a gold standard, and that's what has been happening since 2008. If a sing

Just a fun thing I do: editing films to music. https://brodlist.com/sfe P.S. Credit to adityaathalye for the change of phrasing for these posts to add "what are you curious about?"

right? I didn't do that one. But, wow.

Not for my short films, but here's where I put some existing films I've cut and edited to music (and a few from others) https://brodlist.com/sfe

oh, it can be anything, in the same way a short story can be. A lot of times it has a music track which is central to it.

I'm interested in film making. Writing, directing. Mainly short films, often without dialog.

Your argument is silly. Europe is more content than the US and a big part of that is the social protections such as universal healthcare. I like accelerator pedals on cars, I do, but I also like the brake pedal.

It's a subjective measure each way, to be sure, and really applies to the the coasts. If you want to see it that way, no one can correct you. But as an American who has spent decades living in Europe (across five different countries),

Will we call it "The Big Short 2" and just reuse footage from the original?

I would need more information. Maybe make a small website that shows some screenshots, etc.

Fantastic. The additional context for each work is wonderful. I would prefer if I could restrict it to a style or movement, say, "Baroque" or period "1400-1600". I think it would make it both more interesting and the l

This is a better article than the initial paragraphs reveal. The author is saying that what James Joyce called ‘proper’ art is essentially a stepping stone for our understanding of the world and ourselves. And if that's true, it could

It was always supposed to be part of the question -- not just what cool projects you might be working on but also ideas that you might be thinking about. It fits nicely! Consider it done.

Each second Sunday of the month, I post an "Ask HN: What are you working on?" thread. I can add this to that, since the idea is the same. What do you think?

An argument that tries to refute a fairly dumb argument in favor of an idea does not, in fact, negate the idea.

Yeah, something like that but more utopian and closer to Jacques Tati's Playtime. And I think that's what would make it funny: the affordance of the efficiency in design creating that expectation of a correctness in delivery which

I thought about writing a comedy, set in the far future, where everything looks beautiful but nothing works right and it's just accepted (almost unnoticed) as a running gag throughout the film. Now I wonder how prescient that would be
