Well, I agree on seeing some signs of Corona fatigue myself: I spent a long weekend in Prague and basically nobody were taking precautions (in a couple of museums I asked if I had to keep my mask on and the answer was "well, if you wan

Seven, billions, ups. I play (tabletop) RPGs online, we use a simple, free rule system (Tiny Six) and any time that I have to copypaste a specific paragraph of the rules in chat I always discover that there are missing characters (so I have

One thing (that worked well for me) is to practice some sort of artistic endeavour that is not meant to be "figurative". Specifically, I started practicing ShoDo (Japanese calligraphy) ~12 years ago - here is a sample of my best w

I don't think much of this article. The Brown M&M example seems a bit convoluted and anyway "what to do instead" is just a bunch of platitutes. "Write doc to make it searchable" ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In my experien

You know what? There are two people I'd really would like to interview about GTP-3 (and what an hypothetical GTP-4 or 5 could achieve). One is Hofstadter. The other is Ted Chang.

Well, yes, this... I am European and during my brief stay in the USA the fact that taxes were added at the cashier was awkward. I am sure you had your reasons and if you grow up in that sustem you won't notice much, but it looks a bit

Thank you! The most important resource is the book itself: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/P/bo26... - I only ruminated on it and provided some extra links at the end.
