I found the essay cogent and accessible. He's very active online and engages in good faith even with his detractors.

"Men are different than women" predated even that, hah!

Social science is pseudoscientific enough without drawing conclusions from okcupid data. (fwiw the author Bryan Caplan is an economist and should know better)

I'll concede that you're making a strong individual case that common sense is anything but.

Yes, it is common sense.

It's inconvenient to the policy 'makers' who are more interested in their aspirations than their duty. It's common sense to everyone else.

> Less interested in people and character studies. More interested in the mechanics of how things that we take for granted actually got built and what the world they were made in was like. These two things are inseparable.

What about my comment makes you think I'd like to "live in a Putin-esuque society?"

Good. Managers pull your heads out of your ass and lean into the change in working habits. There's a lot you can do to maintain the benefits of office work, just realize you aren't peoples #1 priority and you never were.

The cringiest humblebrag of a blog post in some time. The only proper emotion in success is gratitude to the many people who helped you along the way. Have some bloody decorum.

A similar story. I actively blogged about my thesis and it somehow came up in one of those older-model plagarism detectors (this was years and years ago, it might have been just some hamfisted google search). The (boomer) profs convened a &

I'd love to hear HN's suggestions on keeping IP out of these LLMs where possible. For context I'm a writer. Nothing I write gets published online and I don't need to submit to, say, Amazon/Kindle to make money. Ho

I would argue that groupthink is an umbrella term for what you describe; another might be 'bureaucracy' when used pejoratively, heh.

Wow I just tried it out and it's quite awful, you're right. The way Spotify allows you to see what's in the 'radio' station and then add additional tracks to a playlist is great – there's almost no similar func
