A simple explanation: This is a highly uncertain and dangerous scenario. Breeding ground for anxiety. High agency people often deal (cope) with anxiety by trying to control outcomes. Some just flee the situation altogether. We have an examp

I think the physical activity transition they are describing would have been closer to the end of the 19th century when mechanization really started to take hold (e.g. the car)

Was great when the world ran on horses and whale blubber. The legal system tells itself this noble story of measured action without realizing it actually became the bad guy many decades ago. My brief little opinion here is half informed fro

Yall modern compilers do not produce the same thing every time. Compilers have had decades to get really good at what they do. LLMs have been functional for maybe 3 years? Source: I work on an operating system.

Its inevitable because of capital incentives. Someone makes money identifying you and selling that data to advertisers. If your pseudonym is famous/infamous someone makes money / cultivates attention if they identify you. There is

It’s not contrived and starts to touch at the root of the issue: taxes on transactions. I’m not against taxes to be very clear. Tax something else.

One way of thinking about that is higher order even powers just reduce down to two. For the purpose of inverting a negative vector, you can think of squaring as rotating the vector around the unit circle, 180 degrees, to make it positive. H

I mean this kindly, but this is so “engineer brained” Maybe the game has changed with LLMs, but its been a running joke that engineers will build a startup/product/library/thing only to then realize they can’t get any users a

I see this line of thinking a lot but lets look at it a different way. Changing peoples behaviors >cost money<. Using your number here, taxis had a 25% value prop. That was just the cost of getting people to change. I don’t care for U

I don't think its innate though - most people I've met can think of higher order consequences or at least understand them. The real issue is actually measuring results. I think we have to design society to factor higher order effe

What are the fatalities for e-bikes vs SUVs in the US per year? Your comment is irrelevant otherwise because last time I checked cars are the real problem, and concerns over e bikes / delivery bots is just another lame extension of “sa

You cant compare qualia of suffering. At least not with our current technology. Thats the point - they both involve suffering but that doesn’t mean one is inherently worse than the other. The details and experience matter which got glossed

We are not talking about inference. The prompts and responses are used as training data. Even if your provider allows you to opt out they are still tracking your usage telemetry and using that to gauge performance. If you don’t own the stor

Spotify only streams 16-bit lossless as far as I have seen (though they claim 24 bit in this post). Might require artists to reupload the audio? Tidal has much more 24 bit options when I did an A/B. The dynamic range difference is very

Your example assumes there would be sufficient liquidity on that bet. The existing platforms aren’t houses or market makers that just provide functionally infinite liquidity on any bets. The “win” criteria on this example is so specific tha

That is not where trust in the dollar comes from. It comes from stability. Predictability. Courts and law enforcement certainly provide these things, but they are not required. The inherent design of blockchains makes them trustworthy (an o
