Press F for to show your partner love. I can't read the entire article. What is that thing that people do to remove the login/pay wall?

The post you're responding to said abandoning a postdoc. The PhD was completed. So I'm not sure it has anything to do with not enjoying open ended work.

Nice, but I think a conversation about the author is totally relevant here. He's in the business of selling academic and professional "hacks" and I think that deserves a little bit of attention and, perhaps, even scrutiny.

I remember at least ten years ago somebody online went around proclaiming that they finished an entire MIT CS degree in less than one year using their online content. For some reason that whole episode reminded me of Cal Newport and I don&#

I see cancer warnings a lot. My old office had one right as you entered the building. I've seen them on (relatively unprocessed) packaged foods. I've even seen them in grocery stores. Make sure to upgrade your anti cancer genes y&

Family wealth is probably an indicator for future success. I don't know the numbers, but I would expect family wealth to correlate positively with the earnings of the children. So if you want a return on investment, it makes sense to b

It's some combination of reasoning and memory. But whatever it is, the thing that we call intelligent has to perform better than most people at relevant tasks. It's interesting because some people are clearly better at thinking ab

In my opinion it's not a good idea to use chatbots in the medical/self-help space. Poor treatment (a session) could damage somebody's life. Therapists are supposed to be people 1) that we can trust; 2) people with which we ca

It's important to be able to get quick feedback on ideas and work. That's partly the role of the teacher, and it should be the role of the hypotherical AI tutor.

I wonder: why can't the open source alternatives just make a direct copy the original UI? I mean, if the feature isn't available, that's fine. But a consistent UI would at least increase engagement, reduce confusion, etc.

Plot twist: ToiletPaperMatch doesn't use a swiping UI.

We need an open dating platform. "OpenHinge"?

Wow, that is prophetic.

This is one of the worst things I've read on here. I hope it's a parody and that I'm just too stupid to understand it.

Yes, I could have been more positive. Though I worry about overpromising with technology, especially on this topic.

Sometimes I hear about nutrition/food studies done in academia which were funded by big food corporations. It's probably also common in the medical field to have big pharma doing the sponsoring. I don't disagree with you. Lac

The goal is admirable. But "fact checking" is complicated and intelligent people can disagree. And a lot of people understand that having a centralized source of "truth" isn't desirable. The mathematical disciplines

Everybody will do something "wrong" or "bad" at some point in their lives. Behavior is also usually on a spectrum. Some people might see something as inappropriate, but this is highly dependent on interpretation and pers

I'm just as annoyed as everyone else when I hear somebody revving their shit. But I genuinely feel like this is overanalyzing behavior.

Makes sense. But I would most likely leave in 6-12 months because of that kind of culture.

I've had work in the past where I was really just wasting my time. There would be unclear/nonexistent communication, which would lead to endless revisions of the same project. One day the client wants X, the next day X is no longe

I've thought about this in the past. When we can spell out the rules & formalize the task, machines can usually outperform people at that task. But our cognition doesn't just operate on simple rules, like in a chess game. It h

I know you said object rotation isn't a proxy for mathematical ability. But I just want to add that not all intuition is geometric intuition. And not all math is even geometric. Of course, there isn't a switch that gets flipped wh

I never really know what people mean by "rewiring your brain". You just have to spend a lot of time studying it. The hard part as an adult is probably making the time, especially if your work is already mentally taxing.

I don't know. If I had the option to downsize and retire, I probably wouldn't go around saying that I expect to never retire.

I'm confused. This is about retirement savings and cost of living. If they don't already have a retirement savings, how would they after the age of 50?
