I believe David Simon said somewhere that one way to think about The Wire is they took Greek mythology and replaced the gods with institutions.

I have a thing that I do since years since I live in Vienna. I basically go around to at least 2-3 cafes a day, sit and work in one for a couple of hours, then walk to the next one for 4-5 kms and so on. On a typical day, I walk between 8-1

very much this, I'm a very restless person and I _need_ to move every 2-3 hours. Cafe hopping is very very important to my general flow. I also need noise and general life happening around me. Offices are too artificial an environment

No, no humour was intended by a purely subjective statement that intense exercise is more or less a deeply unpleasant experience for my body and my brain. The fact that it is beneficial to long term vitality is orthogonal to how it makes me

Any sort of intense exercise makes it impossible for me to actually think or concentrate on listening. It's a heightened state in many ways biochemically and is very different from the calm that walking gives. Running would just make w

Yes haha, I've also been 'cheating' myself to walk more. Grocery planning as you mentioned, also picking up food from far away restaurants that I miss due to the lockdown.

I hate gym culture and I hate running too because the exercise is the 'core' of what you're doing in that time. Walking works for me because I can listen to new music and podcasts or sometimes just go through my mental monolo

The word 'rational' is one of the most abused in western intellectual history. Hegel considered his system 'rational' and I think it is fairly self-evident that that has nothing to do with these internet 'rationalis

I agree with this take, having dropped out from my PhD. I have reluctantly come to accept over the years that my intellectual interests need to be catered to separately from whatever I need to do to economically sustain myself as an adult.

hah so funny to see this here! I first came across this in the following review of Shortparis' album Easter (ПАСХА). One of 2019's music highlights for me. https://thequietus.com/articles/24274-shortparis-east

Ha! I grew up in a small (by Indian standards) city in India and our school library for some reason had tons of Agatha Christie. I think I read like 80% of all published Hercule Poirot books between the age of 10-15.

He said somewhere that he wants to portray the 'madness in the hearts of men' and I think that is a very good guiding principle to view his oeuvre from.

It's actually really cool in a weird way in that it's measurably consistent. I live somewhere in the west and have skin of the moderately darker variety and the amount of general street racism I face is directly correlated with th

Yes, a fair amount of middle/lower-middle class women in big cities in India make some side cash with this system. Basically just cooking extra portions of lunch and dinner of whatever they're making that day anyway and feeding th

This is on the EU roadmap though, for what it's worth. Sometime in the next few years, we should see instantaneous transfers within the EU.

The darker phenomenon is that there seem to be a lot more Nazis (sympathizers at least) than one would deem normal.

Thanks, I've seen Karpathy's core argument before and to be honest, I don't buy it. Throwing everything at neural networks and forgetting all domain understanding (sometimes developed over centuries) just doesn't feel ri
