In the video the pain looks nearly instant. It just gets even worse over time.

Are there non-development jobs available in AI?

I do run. I also have no problem stopping in winter. I'm not nearly as hardy as you. Though I do get a few runs in on an indoor track.

Nice work! Keep it up, you're well on your way. Sounds like fun but I don't know if I could stay motivated in the winter.

Even better than the step count is the resting heart rate. Mine went from mid 60s down to upper 40s within 6 months of getting my fitbit. I started hiking regularly, and seeing that number drop consistently felt rewarding. I did this when u

Silk Road had rules against selling certain things, which included tools for fraud. Drugs shouldn't be illegal. Prohibition has always failed. Regardless, he didn't commit violence. The distinction between violent and non-violent

There are diminishing returns from compute time but it looks like even though they are diminishing there's still a fair bit on the table. Though my guess is that GPT-5 will be the last model which gains significantly from just adding m

Great idea. Any code available? I haven't used the Whisper API yet but the OpenAI API for chatGPT seems pretty easy to work with.

What field of economic thought leads you to claim that inflation can (and should) be controlled by taxing the rich? This is an unusual claim, to say the least.

Libertarian types don't have a preference for high interest rates because they have savings. They have a preference for the interest rate to be set by the market freely, instead of being intentionally manipulated up and down by central

I've played chess since I was young, have taught many people to play chess, have played in company tournaments, play whoever I can when I travel, and there's just no question that the vast, overwhelming majority of women don'

The issue is that we crossed those previous thresholds and ... the world kept improving? If you look at sites like Our World in Data then nearly all metrics of human progress have dramatically improved over the past century, while temperatu

This is the perfect HN comment. Pointing out some pedantic technical point while also trying to deflate someone else for expressing a positive sentiment.

Silicon Valley isn't libertarian. All my feeds right now are full of libertarians who are upset about this. The bailout itself isn't the main issue, it's mainly the Fed's irresponsible policies over decades. They kept in

Increasing software development speed 6x would be fairly world changing already, wouldn't it? Add in all the automation of customer service via actually good Chatbots and lots of very cheap (and fairly high quality) copywriting and it

>For now it’s slightly better than fake crowd noise you’re hearing in movies, but still frequently just gibberish. You've clearly never used ChatGPT to help you build or troubleshoot anything before. Try it before you knock it.

It's also addicting and on non-workout days can cause restlessness. However it has changed my life for the better and I still recommend lifting for everyone.

Right. If you have the belief that others will value your input, regardless of speed, that seems to become a self-fulfilling prophecy (assuming that belief is derived from genuine previous experience of having created value). A quick wit is

How do you know the first impressions people have are negative based on speed of response? I'm often slow to respond and make no effort to change that on first impression, but I have been told - many times - that people view me as thou

Not sure everyone has a choice in this. My default is deeper thought, occasionally to my detriment. I can only operate quickly if I have extensive experience doing that thing. Learning new sports or new mental tasks is slow and requires a l

I am responding to the GP comment claiming you can only see farmland on satellite photos. That is false and only takes a few moments of investigation. People who live in cities might actually believe claims like this.

I see forests all over the world. Seriously, there are so many trees. I have no idea what you're talking about. Edit: I looked up the numbers, and one quarter of the earth's land is covered in forest. The same percentage as twenty

Agreed. I grew up in a semi-rural area in the US in the 90s and no one in our community thought twice about just showing up. This sometimes still happened within the past decade in rural Virginia (my family owned a farm there). Neighbor far

Mine mostly stays docked and is used for couch coop games with my kids. They absolutely loved "It Takes Two." I have taken on trips and it works well. Battery life isn't great but it's good enough for a few hours of non-

What is this nonsense? Inflation is always due to a lack of competition? Where on earth is the evidence for such an assertion (I didn't see anything in the linked article)? Inflation is a monetary phenomenon, it's not a mystery at

My rule for night hiking is only in places I already know. Moonlight is sufficient if I'm familiar with a trail or street. There's no way I'd try it somewhere new. Not enough detail. But I would encourage anyone who has a fam

I live in a small village in the US, pop. ~1,000. I'd guess that less than half the streets within village limits have sidewalks. And of course outside the village it's miles and miles of fields and forests with none. Urban life

Having a good walking trail near your home is way underrated. Nearly all my good thoughts come when walking.

For me the issue is that there are so many pieces, I can't hold them all in my head together. But that period of stepping away seems to allow me to combine a few pieces and then treat that new piece as a single piece, so I'm able
