Yes! This is exactly how I feel. I have fun ideas that are kind of complex and I can just experiment and see now with a couple spare hours on the weekend. Trying to explain to my non software engineering friends that they could build any sm

I think fundamentally it is that. The ability to retain information. Like given a specific task it can do a thing amazingly well, but can it recall a thing. Its memory seems like a giant filing cabinet and it has to go scan like 20 million

My point is more that as a parent I shouldn’t be forced to pay for an education i wouldn’t give my children. Secular humanism not being a religion, does have a set of beliefs. It would seem unconstitutional if someone had to pay a teacher t

Not necessarily saying it is a religion, as much as there isn’t a neutral way to say you should educate people as if there is(are) no god(s). So presuming it forces a set of beliefs on people based on an idea that there is no god that would

So I sympathize with the idea that a government school paid for by tax dollars, is violating 1st amendment rights. But it would also violate 1st amendment rights if they took tax dollars and gave it to families who used it on a private reli

Is there a world where we look back at how AI usage is charged today and we equate it with how we had minutes on AOL and how absurd it seems looking back?

Overpopulation is not a problem. Maybe in a couple countries. But not for the world, and not for the west and definitely not for America. As the population has grown poverty has decreased.

If you’re talking about Pete Hegseth, he I think is CREC, and they are post-millenialists, which means they think more so that the earth will get better and better and should build things that last to welcome in Christ when he returns.

Yeah I agree. Still would be very valuable to be able to read works that shaped western civilization in their original language, since a lot of nuance is lost translating to English. Just see how many crazy readings of the Bible people have

The classical school movement in America is growing quite rapidly, and so maybe we start to see it again? My kids at least are all learning Latin, and later, Greek.

I love Costco. Jim Senegal (former CEO of Costco) is what I wish more CEOs were like. I have a large family, so we buy almost everything at Costco. When I was kid I was so mortified when my parents suggested to buy clothes at Costco. Now I

I’ve used chatGPT to take silly ideas I had and make fairy tale like stories for my daughter that often have goblins and things like that in them. Watch now it’s gonna be like weirdly not including them. Gonna go and try to have it make me

Even this subjective interpretation shows why the question is so good. Someone on the other side would say the fundamentals are completely different. It is meant to point out how many people say they would be willing to sacrifice even their

This question is genius like the way secret hitler is a genius game. All the different ways to frame it and think about it, and the balance between them all. Saying "I would press blue" is different than actually pressing blue. Ma

Yeah I’m all for doing what makes sense. I probably just overreact and judge too quickly certain statements from my experiences of people who act like I’m destroying the earth because I have more than 3 kids. I appreciate reasonable people

It’s really about the cost/benefit analysis. The value of plowing ahead and using more energy is worth far more than making sure Florida doesn’t lose some coastline. The presumptions I see that annoy me with the alarmists, is that they

The EPA repealed its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being. So this is not a good reason to oppose AI. Now the sheer energy it requires does mean we might want to go nuclear though. Na

The word monotheism didn’t even exist until the 17th century. I’m doubtful of some of the article’s claims, that seem to project our modern ideas onto the ancient world. But I think ancient israel saw there were many “gods”, but they viewed

As an experienced software engineer, I’m incredibly excited about what AI is going to be able to do, like on a scale of 1-10, I’m an 8. As a citizen, who doesn’t trust the government, or the media, or giant corporations, I’m also an 8/

I love that you have to find the cancer on the CT scan to see the jobs page. That’s creative. Now I’m craving some gamified version of that to see how terrible of a radiologist I would be.

Or just because math is awesome and knowing more is just great knowledge to obtain. For some reason people think having an education is only valuable if it is traded for money. For example I think an educated wife and a mom who never earns

Be curious how they got their numbers. Because I had to fill out intent to homeschool forms for my 4 kids that are over 10, but they’re all at a classical Christian school, but there is one home day a week so it technically is considered ho
