Yeah I usually dip in when I want to look at the space. But I am trying to include a more regular scan of the headlines to keep abreast of whats happening.

To be included in the top 1% you need a net worth of over a million. So what you said is untrue. The correct figure is something like top 10%

The American government gets that money from taxes. If wealthy people are using that wealth to avoid taxes and put the burden on to the worker then the worker is being hurt twice - first by the lost power in their vote, and second by paying

Who told you this? It's so obviously false. It doesn't even make sense. I think you meant to say "efficiently" perhaps but even arguing that is an uphill battle - at most you could say that is true for some types of proj

I agree with your overall position but I disagree on the first point. Wealth is ownership, ownership is control of value. Allocating more (not all) value away from SaaS companies and into food security or education is a good thing and would

There are a couple of nuanced issues with what you are saying. 1. In our current political system, wealth translates into political power, which can (and is) used to change laws to secure more wealth - just look at the portfolio performance

The minimum entry requirement for top 1% inclusion is about 1 million dollars. So your comment is just wrong.

I would agree here if our political systems weren't vulnerable to capture by wealth. Inequality drives more inequality, it has to be counterbalanced by laws. The majority of human civilisation has been feudal. We recently got democracy

This comment is so out of touch with reality. It matters because our political systems are influenced by the wealth. More wealth equals more political power in a system where political power is supposed to be assigned via democratic vote. I

This is the lamest place to do ragebait. Facebook is probably more fun.

I respect Ilya hugely as a researcher in ML and quite admire his overall humility, but I have to say I cringed quite a bit at the start of this interview when he talks about emotions, their relative complexity, and origin. Emotion is so com

I think your definition of "understood" is too narrow and perhaps that is your challenge. People have been taking many of these substances (e.g. psilocybin, THC, DMT, etc.) for thousands of years. Their qualitative, long-term effe

You have beautiful way of writing. Do you have a blog?

Languages are not the same as generic sounds to the human brain. Title is clickbaity but I also think it more or less communicates the point of the article

This sounds like you haven't used one of these coding agents.

This comment seems like a rebuttal which is confusing to me because they are deeply related.

This makes me sad. Please don't speak to people like this. The small pieces of humanity that people sincerely share are about the only thing that it is worth living for. What a dark world we would live in when our public sphere is fill

I think it is unfortunate that you should pick examples of poor behaviour in our species and use it to justify your opinions. Pure, selfless love does exist. The fact people fail to live up to it at all times is an existentialist question.

I think this is premature. I think its more honest to say that it's an open question and that moral relativism is currently in vogue.

This is pithy but brittle and I believe ultimately wrong. For example, if I wrong someone I hate, and then with a gun to my head I am forced to apologize when I wouldn't otherwise, I am not being moral.

I agree with some of what you have said. But I feel that you are moving the goalposts slightly. I understood the discussion to be on the origin of morality. Implementing its upkeep is a separate issue. However, to respond to your point: I d

It seems that you are conflating attachment with love, which is often done, but always wrong. They are absolutely not the same thing and are at odds with one another as often as they align, if not more often - as your examples illustrate. I
