So you think he is literally stupid? Do you know who his parents are? If so, do you think he is really “without a lawyer”? It’s hard for me to not think you just don’t know the full context. I assume you aren’t being disingenuous, but maybe

He is clearly making himself a scapegoat to protect himself from the wrath of the politically powerful. One thing to burn rich people, quite another to burn politicians who chair the financial services committee. Anyone who says, “what’s he

And then what? I sincerely believe McFaul isn’t able to think of the next step. He is thinking deontologically just as Putin (and I dare say the Russian people too) are thinking about survival. It would be good to think of the long term con

Paul Graham is one the people who is supporting talented artists by buying their work. The patronage system has brought much beauty to the world. It’s imperfect and one wishes you could remove the rich men from the art world, but tradition

Many artists, even the big names (van vogh), had no commercial success. If you’re an artist “for the money”, you are probably not going to be very happy with the outcome.

Blame Walter Benjamin. People, many of us, pay for human made art. Paul Graham is an investor and believer in art. He also believes ai has value. Don’t be fooled. It’s a false dichotomy. Make better art. If you can’t be better than ai, you

It makes the powerful people he colluded with, his parents and their network, and powerful politicos like Waters, appear less culpable. He is making sure that he doesn’t appear smart enough to have the capacity to collude though clearly if

Isn’t that our current goal? (Our meaning NATO/Ukraine.) Sounds like we’re getting the closer to our mission accomplished moment.

People just stand farther away from smokers, even outdoors. Because smokers stink. And if your having trouble breathing cause of the Covid, you will go to even greater lengths to not get close to smokers. But also, people with chronic respi

Fair enough. It’s like the lump of labor fallacy, but for bullshit rather than labor. One could view that as growing pains, but it is still growth in some sense.

For different definitions of “we” that seems to be true. We is sneaky word. It means one thing one day, and something very different the next.

Nice that they have a link to donate to the Kaiser Fund. I feel bad for the large HMOs, they are getting screwed from all directions.

Why would anybody need to type anything? Gpt will type the gpt prompts. AI will create the AI that will create the AI. There will be people involved but increasingly less.

Make it cost something. Like, force them to watch a training video or something. Schedule a long meeting at a time they don’t like to discuss the issue. Lastly, consider that maybe they are saying something that should be heard. Maybe they

Correct. These revelations (for some) are a win for moderates. Jack Dorsey and Rho Khanna. That’s who benefitted the most. Amazingly the democrats are upset about this. It tells me what I need to know about those people.

Did you read the featured Twitter thread? Denial is strong when it comes to both the left and rights concern about human rights in the digital age. Don’t let emphemeral politics blind you to long term trends. Be more deontological wrt freed

The same would be true of Chomsky, if it were true. But it’s not. Supporting Biden is not something a leftist would do. Sorry, but you need to zoom out and read some history.

How that cycle phases with the business cycle and inflation will matter a lot. A raising tide can lift sinking ships.

Does it have the full text? It’s a good journal but there have been many methods problems in psychology research. It strikes me as a finding that would be very sensitive to sample issues and other potential confounds.

Very very different from China of course. Just to add an important distinction to your point. Emperor Xi is not in any way comparable to Rishi and the UK may be getting close to having a majority of their citizens foreign born at this point

I guess that sounds a lot like a community college to me, but maybe faster and better. Can non-self motivated people succeed if they go to say an Ivy League? I didn’t, so it’s a sincere curiosity for me. Would Zuckerberg have ended up baggi

I was going to post a comment but I decided it didn’t add much. Maybe if we all refrain from liberal posting it would remove the need to post comments asking for better comments. I’m not sure. I may post too liberally myself.
