Of course you get down voted.So many delusional people on this forum that believe themselves to be experts in all domains because they get well paid to write javascript. We will just forget that von Neumann advocated for nuclear first strik

Not that far, I think this is Meta Orion but it is still a little bit early. https://www.meta.com/emerging-tech/orion/

Without irony, I actually find the South China Morning Post probably the most unbiased, straight on US news. It also acts as a filter for important US events since they aren't motivated to put out 24/7 bullshit like US based news.

I think part of the problem is that people have the wrong mental models currently. I am a non-software engineer and I fully expect someday to be a professional "vibe coder". It will be within a domain though and not a generalist l

To me, it is just obviously wrong. Reality is not reasonable and it is actually unreasonable that we would even expect reality to be reasonable. Our reason is a highly flawed instrument that we have pushed far past what it was designed for.

Crying of Lot 49 is wonderful and I am not really a big fiction fan. I will have to give Vineland and Inherent Vice a shot. Gravity's Rainbow is just a lost cause for me with the size let alone the content.

I find this perspective just incredibly dull. As if the measure of interesting is the attention of trash, click bait journalists. To me, it is why most people and places have become increasingly dull and monotone over my lifetime. It is lik

They would certainly go for more than that. Ross didn't paint anything I find even remotely interesting but for $1k, I would buy 20 or 30 Bob Ross paintings right now and sit on them too. I can't imagine them selling for much less

I am full remote for a very small, non-software business but I think even for us we are probably losing productivity vs the office. I think child care is a big driver but no one can come out and say this. I am more productive remote but I w

He was basically a complete loser during his lifetime is my understanding. I believe part of his clothing was because he was totally broke. A broke surrealist eccentric alcoholic who's music was largely rejected for being overly simpli

I would also add Satie's Nocturnes are just as good and just as beautiful.

Zappa listed his influences on Freak Out. I love Satie but don't really hear him in Zappa's music. Pamela Zarubica, Art Laboe, Hal Zeiger, Jim Guercio, Henry Vestine, Alice Stewart, Lillian Rudolph, Mark Cheka, Herb Cohen, Tom Wil

Avril 14th is absolutely lovely but I think even Richard would probably say it is a Satie ripoff.

I think they can make abstract links across domains. Like the prompt "How can a simplicial complex be used in the creation of black metal guitar music?" https://chatgpt.com/share/684d52c0-bffc-8004-84ac-95d55f

Exactly, the train has already left the station. I think Rick Rubin has it right that this is a kind of "punk" coding and I think vibe coding is actually a good term in that regard. This rings especially true for me as a non-softw

It isn't true, it is obvious bullshit. It is like making the argument that the most accurate view of life is doing nothing because we are all going to die anyway.

I just got a quest 3 a few months ago. The quest 3 itself is amazing but I feel like they already have given up on the "metaverse". It is pretty shocking how little there is inside Horizon. There isn't even that many people e

It isn't a fair test at this point though because the stupidity of the average human would be too obvious.

How can you not see that if everyone gets X amount of UBI, the cost of everything goes up until you can no longer live on X. It is such basic economics I just can't believe we even have these debates. It is something I would have thoug

If everyone gets $13k a year the price of everything will go up until people will no longer be able to live on $13k a year. Then you have to raise the UBI amount and then raise even more money by the government. Repeat. To me, it is a non-s

It is a beyond stupid argument. What is imprecise is not counting calories at all. It is so easy to fool yourself and think you are eating 30% less calories than you really are. You also can get an idea of your micro nutrient breakdown and

It is a stupid argument. The choice is between the mafia or this. This is better than the mafia. Any other argument is basically utopian. I love mafia history though so I think many people just don't understand how powerful the mafia w

My guess would be this is just nonsense. No one has an eating too much protein problem. The average person has a sitting on their ass problem that leads to all kinds of health issues, especially when combined with a too many calorie problem

I think it is that the alternate paths are just so easy to romanticize. I have been doing this lately with how maybe I should have went into the military after high school. Of course, the romanticized version doesn't include losing a l

IMO this is exactly the wrong mental model. You can't hammer a nail a 1000 times and pick the best hammered nail. You can have the hammer iterating over the structure 24/7, finding imperfections in previous hammered nails. This is

People have no imagination either. This is all fine now. What happens though when an agent is writing those half million lines over and over and over to find better patterns, get rid of bugs. Anyone who thinks white collar work isn't i

I know some women that have some issues with men in general, largely and understandably from childhood abuse. They express this though with dissociation from men when possible. They aren't going to harass men online, quite the opposite

I went to a state school and would never even get in now. Stanford has a problem but I was never going to get into a school that the prestige matters. This just doesn't matter for the vast majority of students. In the long run, the sta

I use to think this but no one I have read believes data is the problem. Amodei explains that if data, model size and compute scale up linearly, then the reaction happens. I don't understand why data wouldn't be a problem but it s
