I'm currently doing this with PlayStation games. Primarily using deepseek flash v4 and qwen 3.8 27b. But with escalations to fable and sol at times. On optimistic days, I'd say, "it is solved". But it's a little mor

I'm so burned out working in the insanity of the org that I'm supposedly a leader in that I'm considering leaving and I don't know what... Maybe I'll buy some run down property and fix it up. Try to make some money

Having been in this racket for some time, it's very rare to not have pockets of extreme criticism of the things you share online. It doesn't matter how passionate you are or how honest, there will always be armchair critics that a

I'm not projecting. It's literally what the community is founded on. If you don't like the association, take it up with the group. Effective Altruism is in of itself a philosophy developed by charlatans that refuse to engage

Effective altruists are a transhumanist cult filled with people that think an ML degree qualifies them to speak on subjects outside of their domain and make decisions on behalf of humanity. A disclosure should be required next to anything t

Upfront: I read your article because I was genuinely interested. Im genuinely annoyed when hackernews filled top comments that complain about llm assisted articles. Having said that, consider taking more care when authoring articles with th

I don't disagree, but I'd point out that this is a weak steeleman. Essentially it's, "past performance guarantees future results." We only have a limited sample size of economic data.
