I have a kind of surprising experience with regard to this topic… My older son was already a teenager when LLM’s got mainstream. He has struggled with an awful combination of Tourette Disorder, ADHD and OCD which has meant he’s been pretty

I prefer any book in physical form. Holding a book in my hands is a far more tactile experience, as you get to feel the cover, and smell the pages, which I always find kind of nice in a weird way. I find it easier to stay focused on a book

I found that Duolingo helped me to learn some German, I haven’t been practicing as much lately, but when I hear German, I can understand more than I can speak, and I find it fun to read in German. I bought a book that was in German and star

Perhaps the hactivist groups were too decentralised for them to be cohesive enough to stage properly coordinated attacks that could make any noticeable impact? I’ve learned about some pretty impressive cyberattacks, that have made significa

I think this is great for those looking for who to target for financial scams… you’d know who’s got money, but also be able to judge from their comments who’s stupid enough to to fall for spear phishing attacks and while their username may

That’s cool, and I fully respect anyone that still listens offline… But you realise you can listen to all those genre’s and more on Spotify right? (Also I respect that some people are not consumers of Spotify because of the way they treat

I go through phases. I hated ChatGPT for a while. But recently I’ve started using chatGPT to help me with my cooking. I’m in the process of making my own cookbook full of AI generated recipes. The cheese sauce I made the other day based on

Oh… maybe you are. At first some of what you wrote seemed similar to what some people describe when they describe burnout, but I suppose people can just be ready to move on to new things too!

Yes I’ve had “pseudo anonymous” accounts (although probably easily traceable back to me for people who know what they’re doing). The main reason being I actually want to have a separate self that exists outside of my friend groups, work gro

I personally grew up in poverty. I did abysmally at school partly due to missing so much school. It wasn’t until I was an adult and eventually went to university that I got anywhere with school, I went on to get 4 degree’s, and currently wo

Cultural values play a big part in it, as well as just parenting in line with what they learned from their own parents was the correct way to parent. I personally value people living authentically and having high levels of subjective wellbe

Are you kids turning up to school regularly and engaged in learning, and also learning to form healthy social connections in school and any extra-curricular activities? If the answer is yes, why worry about their grades? They’ll do fine in

One of my unpopular opinion is that I think that it is unethical to do “gender affirming” procedures and treatments in children and young people under 18 years of age. Another unpopular opinion I hold is that I think dogs are superior to ca

You believe that someone who has the capacity and resources to do all this fancy computer and AI stuff lives on $12k USD a year? That’s hilarious. I’m willing to bet he became a millionaire thanks to bitcoin.

I don’t believe Gwern lives as frugally as he’s described in this (if this even actually is the real Gwern). I’m 100% sure that he has a persona he likes to portray and being perceived as frugal is a part of that persona. When it comes to

Personally, beyond providing the basics like food to eat, shelter, clean clothes, and being emotionally responsive, I think the best think you can do with little kids is read to them. And you can read them literally anything. When my first
