They’re marketed that way, but there’s a giant asterisk. They’re biodegradable in an industrial composter, and similar conditions are incredibly unlikely in nature. So they are, effectively, not biodegradable. There is a new manufacturer ca

At this point, numerous exotic mathematical tools from Langlands program, Lie algebras, algebraic geometry and topology have been used in physics. I do agree that you can go quite far with calculus, linear algebra, and probability. But I do

The sitting president of the United States is taking bribes in exchanges for presidential pardons, committing securities fraud himself, etc. As long as you buy enough of trumps “stablecoin” to earn his favor, the SEC isn’t gonna touch you.

Large businesses can operate at a loss that small businesses cannot sustain. They do this to strangle out competition. Then, after they’ve established a monopoly or oligopoly, they price gouge customers, reduce COGS resulting in inferior pr

The majority of the human population lives in desperate poverty. Here in the US, many, many people are barely able to afford basic necessities. This has been the status quo for many years, and the political establishment shows little intere

I was hoping that there would be some discussion of what exactly the project is. The author says they have 300k loc so far. That’s a considerable codebase. What kind of react app could this possibly be? I would love to know. > This post

I think that prison would be an exceptional case. Typically, white collar criminals do not face justice for their crimes in the same way as common people.

I beg to differ. Journalists are supposed to do their own investigation and analysis of the people, institutions, and events that they report on. If they just parrot the talking points of executives, then they’re producing advertisements, n

This is the opposite of what you said. You implied that people’s expectations of how much house they should have are overly inflated, and that is the problem. Your second comment implies that the costs of land, permits, inspections, etc out

The past few years have taught me that these are the people that rise to the top of society (much to my chagrin). The average person doesn’t want to hear from thoughtful intellectuals presenting nuanced opinions. They want to hear from thos

How can it be “beyond the pale” when it is quite literally true?

You should either elaborate on your argument, or at least provide further reading that clarifies your point of contention. This kind of low effort nerd-sniping contributes nothing.

I wonder what this means for statsig employees? Paper money converted to a different kind of paper money? Are they now OpenAI employees? Will there be layoffs?

There are a ton of highly qualified American citizens that are not able to find work, or are underemployed. The layoffs of the past few years have made it very clear that there is an abundance of local talent, and big tech hiring from outsi

Really interesting comment. Is there a source for the promo quota thing? Or is this a policy that’s only discussed internally on a need-to-know basis?

Stealing from Home Depot doesn’t make you a “sociopathic criminal”. It’s shoplifting, not murder. Besides, people who are stealing building supplies are probably doing it because they’re hard up for money and trying to make more on whatever
