Not the person you asked the question to, but... I've rented recently (1 month ago). The parking garage was filled with an absurd number of unused cars. There were entire levels of the parking garage which were filled with cars which w

No, stored data cannot be later used for any purpose. In recent years there have been numerous laws and regulations passed concerning data rights and privacy. If you get consent for data usage in one way, but then use it in a way that diffe

Yes, but that doesn't reflect the inability to learn. You're confusing cumulative advantage leading to a competitive edge with an inability of lower IQ humans to learn advanced skills. You will also find things like richness and b

It is more than unconvincing. It is outright misleading. The idea that scientific investigations are refuting the idea that these skills are learnable is false. It doesn't make much effort to find studies to the contrary. https:/

Tool wise I use a physical journal, Notion and Athens Research. Process wise I keep a bullet journal to store things quickly. Then I use a Zettelkasten to store notes which build up over time. I wrote a little about the why behind the proce

Thanks for this. I appreciate this type of product and will likely use it. Right now I'm not able to because it doesn't seem to be playing well with Brave. Clicking add command takes me to the homepage. No add command functionalit

A lot of others have talked about the UML aspect of this post, but I want to speak to something that was more in the latent space of my reading of the post and its dislike for agile trends and a kind of supposition of something being lost b

Change what your autopilot does. Get habits which result in active reading and deep thinking. Go, get a piece of paper, and write down the following instructions for yourself, "I will get up an hour earlier tomorrow morning. During tha

It might be hard for you to stomach this refutation, because I only refuted one, but try this. Go to the site and try to see if you can find a place where the site says "Elon said use X to buy Y" when in fact the quoted text means

You aren't a prophet schueller. You don't know what will happen in the future. Neither do I. What you can do is reason as effectively as possible with the highest quality information you can obtain. The information source that you

That new link is pretty pathetic as a justification for derision. I'll take one and only example because if I did as many as I could do I would come across as an apologist when really your sources are just absolute garbage. They are fu

Notice, for the first few minutes of that video, it shows a mounting degree of credibility on the part of Nueralink as PhDs with expertise on relevant topics are noted, but then quite abruptly the tone shifts and it plays a comedy sketch [1

This is true of other skills that seem magical. One that stands out to me as being learnable, but often seen as magical, is 'savant like' memory capabilities. People assume that these people have different minds and that is how th

Most forms of utility, including forms that come from using a CLI, have an acquisition cost. Rationally it makes sense to invest in things whose acquisition cost is lower than their utility. When a time horizon is introduced, for example, f

It isn't true that this is merely a 'they'll shut this down too' situation. After transferring music to YouTube Music, I now have to watch ads on the content I had purchased. When they sold me that music, they told me I

Not only that, but when you export to YouTube Music from Play Music they give you the same experience as you would have had you not bought the music on Play Music. They make you watch ads to see the content you purchased and transferred. I&

The idea that the regrets of others can teach you about how to best live your life has pretty strong foundations. Investigation into the playing of imperfect information games has revealed that one way to get a Nash strategy is by: playing

This article reminds me of tree searches. One of the results we've found in various AI related investigations into the playing of games is that a good policy selects the action which maximizes the value of a future state. A good value

Wrong. The author wrote a similar piece during Obama's tenure with the same thesis that economic experts are routinely underestimating economic weakness.

You are incorrect. The argument structure does not lead to the conclusion that the amount of emissions is necessarily higher. It's too ambiguous for that. It's possible to infer more than one argument structure from the writing. I

Yeah. Really though I'd rather not get into that. People are already trying to take what I said farther than intended for it to be taken. I was just trying to point out how badly this 1995 post anticipated the future. It thought the pr

I did not say bots control the internet. I did not say that only regulation can deal with the problem. I did not say tech censorship is the only way to save the uneducated. I did not say the unwashed massed could never understand anything.
