This does sound a lot like Washington Monument Syndrome but I’m happy to be corrected

It’s odd to me how upset people get about this. Historic buildings seem very ledger-esque as changes and previous states get documented well and any modification isn’t truly erasing history but just appending to it. I doubt historians will

The European Parliament is advertising this as a win for the EU. Yet it isn’t entirely uncontroversial and there’s plenty of voices arguing it’s overreaching - easy to argue this matches the broad definition of political weaponization as-is

Great read and amazing initiative. Relevance of findings seems to 90% depend on whether you believe the EFSA BPA intake thresholds over the FDA. Love how transparent they’re about it instead of doing what most do. The world needs more of th

Maybe. Alternatively it could just be the marketing department milking the narrative over an extended amount of time. Going instantly 100% “carbon neutral” through carbon credits is certainly a worse move in this regard.

This funny old narrative of a revolution in that direction sounds pretty misplaced if we're talking about a future where you won't need humans to get stuff done...

I feel like a lot of that frustration comes from seeing "arts and culture" as the pinnacle of anything when maybe it's just an overvalued side-effect of human wiring to avoid boredom. Imho. it's just really hard to reaso

Not an expert on the space but LexisNexis for example is using Anthropic's Claude 2 and GPT-4.

For any form of tech product work I'd rather work together with 10 very engaged people rather than 20 half-assers. Don't see why I'd wanna hire a part-time worker unless they're truly special and even then only for a con

Because they've been boiling the frog for 20 years. This one might not pass today but in 5-10 years we'll likely just be fine with it if the narrative continues to evolve on its current trajectory.

Sorry for self replying but I just had a look at the repo and it's definitely worth fully automating this. A js/python snippet converting pngs to superwhite video frames should be fairly easy to implement.

Absolutely love reading about such practical little hacks. Really brings back the old excitement that got me into computer science. Also given how prevalent the issue of QR code brightness is for many use cases this could actually prove use

I think the actual point is more about managing volatility rather than maximizing expected value as the investment horizon becomes more and more short term. Of course this doesn't apply if you plan to pass it on to your family - which

There's always "some" interface under the hood you can automate on - unless they start requiring captchas for every interaction. It might not be as comfy to use as the official API but still better than manually deleting hund

This is very basic but I read both at a young age and I'm massively happy I did. 1st one being "Thinking fast and slow" by Daniel Kahneman - completely reshaped my model of how much we are in control of our thought process. 2

Totally agree when it comes to "general insights" here. You're probably not gonna solve any major problems even though it feels like it in the moment. However, imho. altering the thought process through drugs and really intro

How's advocating for nuclear power related to demonizing environmentalist politics? Shouldn't it be an obvious fit to help reduce CO2 - which is the currently the biggest topic of the green movement?

A neverending stream of dynamic content based on audience interaction. It's way more entertaining than I anticipated. This should also be fairly easy to monetize - either by having people donate for interaction or by including ads. Thi

Agree that the spiral as a core reason is total BS but for both the US and Europe it goes beyond just increasing the money supply. Reducing the supply of goods/materials will have the same effect - even at a constant money supply. In E

That doesn't mean you'd be trying to sell for lower prices, does it? A (sufficiently rational) investor's willingness to sell is mainly a function of current price vs. expected future returns compared to other viable alternat

So let's just go with this and say we draw a line between short term + higher risk and long term + lower risk investors. I still haven't seen the actual argument for what would make a difference when it comes to Dividends vs. Buyb

But unlike Hexagonal Architecture this one actually has a proper reason for being called hexagonal. Of all hexagonalisms, Hexagonal Architecture feels like the hardest to forgive. They could've called it Avocado architecture - give the

Either you've missed the /s at the end or you know a lot more about some massive recent advances in tunnel drilling and construction compared to the public.

Not saying it's not gonna get better... But at this stage, "convincing" GPT-4 isn't an achievement but more of a built-in quirk that's not very well calibrated. When it becomes hard to convince of obviously stupid t

It's literally treating your statements as context. You can convince these models of anything because you can add any context you like. It might feel like a real discussion to you but that's not what's happening. There's

It's definitely not every city in Germany that has this problem. You're trying to live in one of the objectively best parts of Germany by a lot of stats and thus you're competing with a lot of folks. I'm honestly sick of

I deeply disagree with putting the existential risk of AGI on a level with pollution, climate change or war. If you exclude nuclear war, all of these things happen at a human timescale and accelerate fairly slowly and thus can be counteract

Feels like you're literally repeating my point with added detail. The only thing in your comment above I disagree with is the slight implication that education is underfunded in general. Can't speak much about the UK but both the

Not saying the job isn't hands-on. But the system deciding resource allocation is a detached bureaucracy nonetheless. It's not a competitive field. Teachers won't get replaced as new, more efficient modes of learning become
