Do you mean just technically trivial? I agree with that. If you mean more broadly trivial, I see that quite differently. An administration that has repeatedly abused its power in order to intimidate and punish political opponents is opening

That series of blog posts is incredible, as is all his work. One thing that stuck with me is that while our deep evolutionary past is very important, the majority of humans who have lived have been peasants in an agrarian society

Yeah. A lot of the warnings on the side of the box are based on really suspect data from a very long time ago (Abraham Morgentaler at Harvard is my go-to for this) but the point cj raises is legit. When a man takes exogenous testosterone,

My personal experience, having had low testosterone for much of my life and then now being on testosterone replacement therapy: - It’s obvious to me that I (n=1) gained a ton of muscle and lost a ton of fat very quickly without having done

I went to a Jesuit high school but am not religious now. But I still have a soft spot for the Jesuits. They tend to be liberal (relatively speaking) and taught extensively about social justice, and generally are very education-oriented.

I’d say it’s pro economic development. Like they express concerns around the decline of anti-trust enforcement. I’m sure it’s true that they used to advocate dictators, but in the 30 years of reading it as my primary news source, they’ve al

Possibly this is not the actual dress code? Or I'm missing something. 3.a. The following is acceptable for men players, captains, head of delegation. -- Suits, ties, dressy pants, trousers, jeans... 3.b. The following is NOT acceptable

Thank you (and teMPOral) for these comments, this sounds potentially useful to me. I hate to ask this, but I'm struggling to find any thorough posts or articles or papers about this, do you have any links you could point me toward?

I was in the S12 batch. A couple years later we were demonstrably failing. I emailed the general YC advice line or something similar with a question, and pg responded with a thoughtful comment that was genuinely useful I don’t think there’s

Fwiw this feels deeply relevant to my usage of LLMs to structure data. I’d like exactly a good indicator of uncertainty for each bit of data.

The Jesuit high school I went to had a class “Jesus of History, Christ of Faith”, that looked at what we do and don’t know about a historical Jesus (at least as of ~2000). I’m sure I’d had my doubts before, but that class convinced me to st

I believe flybrand had to look up the word and then just wanted to save time for other folks (like me) who might also have needed to do so :)

Clavinova digital piano! I hated piano as a kid, largely bc of the lesson style (and plan on trying Suzuki method with my kids). I’ve played guitar (poorly) for years and I’m shocked with how (relatively) easy it is on piano to do fun impro

I’m not qualified to have an opinion here, but interesting to note that Thom Yorke of Radiohead has never learned to read sheet music (and they have a decent number of piano-based tunes)

And this observation does have empirical backing and is known as the “Spotlight Effect”. The more careful definition of it (which I agree is not the point of the pithy story) is “People tend to overestimate the degree to which others notice

This feels very clever to me. I think people have very wrong senses of how bad various actions are for carbon footprint. I know folks who don’t eat meat for CO2 reasons (which I’m fine with) but fly across the US all the time—-sorry citat
