These are ~1 layer removed, but it shook me from an epistemological perspective. Basically it destroys the idea of metaphysical truth. I'll start with the easy one that was written in native English, William James's Pragmatism. It

Weirdly mine is completely not standard. Obscure API and in a different language from the original docs.

I don't think I could disagree more. Government education should be preparing people to create GDP and pro-social behavior.

While I am quite laissez-faire and not sure how much I care about this particular issue, I have seen this mentality on teaching. "Its the parents fault the kids can't read in college." No... They spent 13 years in government

If you want me to ruin this for you, look up Bertrand's Paradox and The Problem Of Priors. I recently had to deal with this, ugh, I just pick a prior or two and see what the outcome looks like. I'm not sure we can calculate probab

I have a few 1099 MBA advisors that I call Chief of Staff. I check my questions against what they think. When you get 3 MBAs with engineering, finance, or CS degrees agreeing independently, it bumps up confidence. I think this is a case whe

Interesting, I suppose I'm still doing debugging and finding solutions to problems even with AI coding. I think my dopamine was from problem solving, not necessarily doing the math/logic. It helps I get paid for solving problems,

This isn't a great solution, but it has helped me forgive myself, maybe it can be a trend in the future: You didn't pick your DNA, you didn't pick your environment. (Determinism in a nutshell) The bad things that happened to

What ever happened to Elon for pumping his stock causing it to enter the S&P500 and causing index funds to buy? That sucks because now I own lots of meme stock. Also, don't short sellers literally do what is described in the articl

I think they realize the end of their moat has come. I see 5.2 doesn't try as hard and gives worse answers. I don't like Elon, but I've found Grok to be better on many questions.

I used to hate this, I've seen Apple do it with claims of security and privacy, I've seen populist demagogues do this with every proposal they make. Now I realize this is just the reality of the world. Its just a reminder not to t

The parking thing caused us not to buy a building. Not enough spots, not enough handicap spots too. The annoying part is that we lived 4 houses down from the building. We would never drive there ofc. The other thing is that the parking lot

Maybe consider that the overpriced part is fine because you are paying for the time you save. There are many ways to look at things -t. not an Absurdist, but sometimes I use the tools.

As someone who was a libertarian as a child, I assure you the idea of relaxing regulations is quite unpopular. Lots of factors cause this. Obviously established businesses hate competition. There seems to be a tendency for politicians to ma

Yeah I thought that was weird, along with joining ethnic organizations. I don't really need to explain the religion thing, but ethnic organizations are weird since you are forming an identity based on your unchoosable parent's DNA

There is a reason no one uses Apple for local models. Be careful not to fall for marketing and fanboyism. Just look at what people are actually using. Don't rely on a few people who tested a few short prompts with short completions.

Emotion takes away from the idea. Instead of thinking: "Oh this is a great point. There is immense economic value here." It becomes: This person is fearful of their job and used feeling to justify their belief.

I love AI and use it daily, but I still run into hallucinations, even in COT/Thinking. I don't think hallucinations are as bad as people make it out to be. But I've been using AI since GPT3, so I'm hyper aware.

>insulting As as writer, you know this makes it seem emotional rather than factual? Anyway, I agree with what you are saying. I run a scientific blog that gets 250k-1M users per year, and AI has been terrible for article writing. I use A

Less calories, more protein. Also, I tried to buy insects to eat, and they were way way more expensive than most meat. Maybe the infrastructure isn't there yet.

Maybe this is too idealistic, but Waltz the IR Realist, frames this as 2 types of situations. You have your anarchic situations, International Relations, non-law breaking situations like having a conversation with a friend/stranger, an

I read that in a book, in a study, they were able to cause people to be aroused by money by pairing it with sexy bits. But later, they lost the association pretty quickly. This doesn't contradict what you are saying, and the study coul

So.. Satellites are the endgame? Mesh is only for close stuff, and unless everyone has rooted androids already with the apps, it can be shut down at any moment(like China did with Hong Kong and Apple). If I play with ideas, maybe some peopl
