Assuming a perfect system this still fails because you have now locked in all the law abiding citizens with someone who has proven they are ready to break the rules, effectively inventing a hostage situation out of thin air whereby a miscre

This is a legacy design decision all the way back to iOS 1 before notifications existed. SMS messages used to be delivered through the same modal system. I believe the Apple ID and update messages are now banner notifications, and the batte

It is all downstream of the loss of the manufacturing industry in America. In the 50s you could entrust a random guy to build a liquid rocket engine in a dusty garage because he spent every day of his career building various pipes and combu

Hey, this is great! Could you make it so clicking on the video ID in the bottom right corner opens the full video in a new tab? It would be nice to be able to like / save the whole video for later. Kinda like DVR.

Awesome, so in addition to confusing aircraft and sending them in the wrong directions, Putin can also stop everyone from driving in Europe whenever he feels like it.

That essay also loosely inspired the opening scene of Lord of War, which showcases the journey of a bullet from an underground mine to an Eastern European factory all the way into the head of an African child soldier.

As a steelman, wouldn't the abundance of infinitely generate-able situations make it _easier_ for us to develop strong theories and models? The bottleneck has always been data. You have to do expensive work in the real world and accura

No, not at all, given the context of stock trading. Stocks do not trade the same way today as they did in 2014. Similarly there is no point in using trading data from the 1850s given that that kind of market with those kinds of traders will

I've sort of come around on this. Yes, everything you listed is valuable and good. But the reality is all of it was built with money that came from banks and investors. The only reason to do anything scientific is to get investors to g

This is cool! Could we get an IPO option? Maybe there can be a way to set how the market responds and see how that directly impacts your net worth as a founder.

Siri is really quite dumb. I am confident that a 7B model would be able to provide better responses in over 90% of user queries. I can't even get Siri to reliably set a timer.

If we end up developing AGI, computer science itself will become useless since all economic progress will be driven by businesses using their own AGI to develop software. It won't matter in the same way nobody designs microchips by han

It's not a "mental health crisis," it's schooling in general. The suicide rate among teenagers plummets when school goes out, or in the case of 2020, when a pandemic forces everyone to stay at home. https://ww
