I have been this person. I can say that it's not a time of my life I look back on fondly.

The process of thinking and exploring ideas is inherently enriching. Nothing can take away your ability to have incredible experiences, except if the robots kill us all.

There is legal precedent establishing healthcare providers' obligations in life-threatening situations. The same moral responsibility should exist when insurers deny lifesaving care, it's just hidden behind bureaucracy.

The interactive element itself could be really powerful. If you could put some restrictions on how much of the answer it can give you all at once, it's the perfect incremental learning tool.

It's funny that if I could describe my entire career, it would probably be something similar to software janitor/maintenance worker. I guess I should have pursued a PhD when I was younger.

My brain processes too slow for modern action movies. I can tell what's going on, but I always end up feeling agitated.

Skeptic and completely reactionary. I had to unfollow him on Twitter because he always has to have a "take" on every AI headline, and he's often contradictory between "AI is useless" and "AI is a huge threat&qu

This is such a complete misreading of what's happening. Not sure why I keep seeing this on HN.

You don't understand how much value was lost, even if OpenAI perfectly migrates over to Microsoft (it will be messy). Sam had no incentive to not continue with the existing OpenAI structure.

I'd like to hear more about the board's argument before deciding that this was "virtuous board vs greedy capitalist". The motivations for both sides is still unclear.

Android 14 has been a buggy mess for me on the Pixel 7 Pro. It's confounding that Google is still pushing out buggy Android releases.

I've been using pictures of artifacts from random museum visits through the years to test the recent vision models. GPT-V is the first that has gotten anywhere close to identifying them accurately. It's usually able to identify 1)

"Hell is other people" is supposed to mean "Hell is ourselves" It seems like the article makes the connection, but it doesn't make it clear that the whole point of the famous line is that a critical self-perception,

I was always insecure about my intelligence and I remember coming away with this same idea from the book. Life is really just a series of experiences. You don't need to meet a certain standard or qualify yourself in order to have posit

Weightlifting has definitely helped me. There's something very simple about the progress (but incredibly complex when you really get into it), and it helps that your whole body just starts feeling better. One tip I have is to make sure

July and August are much hotter. The suggestion is that if the Texas grid cannot handle unseasonable weather by a month or two, we are in a very dangerous situation going forward. Especially since unexpected weather seems to be increasingly

I mean, you're basically stating that women are objects to fulfill the needs of men so it's pretty clearly a response to what you're saying.

I have a male friend who's a nurse. Definitely no where near the same level of sexism.

by psbp 4y ago
I honestly think a lot of men just don't like women, or at least don't respect them. Maybe it's because I was exposed to a lot of sexism in my CS undergrad (and even some jobs I've had), but it really does seem like some

A scary amount of men just don't think of women as people.

The levels of stress aren't that much different, but there's something more practical about the stresses of labor jobs that make them a bit more manageable in my experience. Only in software jobs have I had persistent, constant st

JRE doesn't have open debates between pro/anti vaccine guests. He gives 3+ hours of air time to vaccine conspiracy theorists with very little pushback. It's easy to get swayed by a contrarian opinion if that's the only o

I notice a trend where HN comments are intentionally vague. What exactly is your point here?

I listened to JRE until mid-last year and I'm surprised how many people sanitize his views on Covid/vaccines. He thinks that any "young" person (20s and below) should be hesitant on taking the vaccine. He believes that t

I eat animals, and probably will for the rest of my life, but I do think it's one of those aspects of daily life that we'll look back on as extremely barbaric.

I don't have the gumption to move there, but I completely agree. There's a lot of desire to move to the "next big" city (recent example being Austin), but I think there's a lot more pride in revitalizing a city with
