How can one not understand that UBI is captured by inflation. Its just a modern religion really because anyone can understand this it is so basic and obvious. You don't have to point out some bullshit captured study that says otherwise

She is obviously a true believer or very clever self promoter that knows her target market. The real question is why is such stupid shit like this being posted here? Anthropic is actually a great example of the free market working well. To

Sounds like the current zeitgeist. Seems like it should be useful beyond demos but we aren't sure what those use cases would be. Just need to wait for AGI and then.. I have actually spent about 20 minutes now and I can't think any

I can't think of any effective marketing in my entire life that didn't involve repetition. I think when people say they need to learn marketing they really mean they want to learn to skimp on spending on marketing. Nothing anyone

I would look up how medical students use Anki. The efficient part would be learning to make cards and decks efficiently. I can't imagine going back to school and not using Anki.

I think many people have anxiety from a type of cognitive dissonance in this area. They don't want to make friends, they want someone else to want to be their friend so they know they are liked in the real world. That is what is missin

Grand Transitions: How the Modern World Was Made by Vaclav Smil Just a wonderful book.

Not saying I agree with the parent comment but the reason would be because the concept of the efficient market is overly simplistic nonsense? It is really a great example of how much human knowledge is really just the repeating of a standar

Even then though, there is a giant global debit maturity wall from covid that needs refinancing at much higher interest rates that starts coming due in 2026 and 2027. That is much sooner than fiscal dominance in the US. I suspect we can go

Or read Sapolsky on how this line of though is simply stupid and ignorant.

Embarrassingly, I spent even longer with Midjourney to come to the same conclusion. It really isn't an issue with AI art but the limited, uncreative output of AI art models. I suspect many artists have been removed from earlier midjour

I took off 18 months in my early 40s to study a few subjects that really do not have much economic value. I would say it was ultimately a mistake. While I stormed out of the gate I got way too comfortable after a few months and ultimately l

It is worse than that though. Credit markets don't work without inflation and none of this progress in the last 400 years happens without credit markets. The age of this bond and the march out of the dark ages is not unrelated.

We also seem to suffer these automation delusions right now. I could see how AI could assist me with learning pure math but the idea AI is going to do pure math for me is just absurd. Not only would I not know how to start, more importantly

I just really doubt this when it comes to China. Betting against China being able to build anything at this point seems pretty dumb. Almost delusional I would say.

The problem is I thought kids would have been doing this 15 years ago already by using the internet to learn more and more. This is not our culture. We don't have a culture that is really able to take advantage of the internet for this

I think many here think they are Claude Shannon himself so using something like Claude is just below such a genius.

No, this is a stupid idea for people who don't know anything about boxing. Effective aggression and ring generalship are subjective human judgements. Boxing results are varied because in a championship fight, many times rounds will be

It gives me value but I am not even sure it is $20 a month of value at this point. It was in 2023 but I picked all the low hanging fruit. More importantly though, where is all the great output from the people who are getting so much value o

I agree and as a non-software engineer, all that matters to me right now is how much can these models replace software engineering. If a language model can't solve problems in a programming language then we are just fooling ourselves i

I would guess you haven't spent much time driving in the winter in the Northeast. There is an inherent danger to driving in snow and ice. It is a PR nightmare waiting to happen because there is no way around accidents if the cars are o

IMO the question doesn't make sense. You can't make music without learning an instrument. Maybe the instrument is a computer with PD or DAW software but it is still a musical instrument that you have to learn to play. There is no

You are taking effective birth control completely for granted. It wasn't that long ago that monogamy was the default because no one wants to have a baby from a night of netflix and chill. IMO you have the direction of causation backwar

To believe this is paranoid is rather delusional really. You should try reading less political bullshit that is rotting your brain.

I would say it is an even deeper issue of credentialism vs education. True education doesn't need busywork but credentialism does. The busywork is the filter for the credential. Also, if a person doesn't write essays in college ho

I imported some french absinthe as soon as I realized it was legal again in the US in 2008. I was so excited with the glasses , spoon and the ritual. I couldn't even finish half a glass though. It was honestly the worst drink I can eve

I think this is something much more extreme. I work for a healthcare company and an email from a business customer today found its way to me asking if we use or plan on using "AI". The person asking this absolutely makes business

Not to mention, I love working out. If anything, I need more reasons to leave the house. Not more reasons to stay inside and be on the computer even more. I do agree that GLP-1s can't be a free lunch. It can't be that powerful for

It would be different too if we didn't know the secret sauce here is massive amounts of data and the jump process was directly related to a jump in the amount of data. Some of the logic here is akin to how I have lost 30lbs in 2024 so
