What people are saying is that your experience is a wildly rare one and that for >99% of the population, the things that are troubling you so much are simply non-issues. No offense, but if you haven’t, you might consider anti-anxiety or

This is what we experienced with our Jeep. The only times it’s gone off is when pulling in or out, and it’s very rare. It is hard to believe the OPs story is entirely true, or wasn’t exaggerated. More like the guy spilled some dip on himsel

No, it’s documented. Thoroughly. It’s just that it’s a new car and the guy assumed there were no changes, and he didn’t check, and his son didn’t tell him. End of story. Also, this is an adult. With grownish children. They are old enough to

The point of the Turing Test is widely misunderstood, and not to pick on you, but your point is a perfect example. The Test is very explicitly NOT about what is on the other side of the curtain, but rather _how do we know_ what is on the ot

I wouldn’t place much faith in what you were told. McDonald Douglas and Boeing were fierce competitors for decades, and they were really the last major commercial competitor in the US. is it really all that surprising the boeing employees w

Good CEOs are good communicators. Most CEOs, like literally any other profession, are not. People like Jobs are exceptions, and for every one of them there are a hundred shitty CEOs who are neither talented nor intelligent, even among the c

OpenAI is a religious institution that self-selects for fundamentalism. This is why so many very good researchers passed on working there, they simply didn’t believe in The Mission Where Ilya Saves Humanity. This is why you need to take cla
