Bezos wasn't holding guns to the heads of Amazon employees. To the contrary. The existence of Amazon created more demand for workers which resulted in more options for them, as well as better pay and working conditions. Where do you ge

In the west, or in relatively free societies, it is true that one's wealth is basically proportional to their contribution to society. Inheritance too, if someone contributes a great deal it's their choice what they want to do wit

Ridiculous. The ONLY way to build wealth in a capitalist system is to provide value to other people. Case in point: Bezos and every other billionaire in the US. You are missing the point. The only way Bezos can take a cent from you is if yo

It's crazy, right? It's always baffling how otherwise very intelligent people like Google/Meta engineers are communists. They're basically brain dead outside of their immediate area of expertise. These people have no ide

But it IS all willpower. The other take is baffling to me - the notion that "we"(the smart people/ the regulators/ the ones above the masses) need to protect weak people because they are too weak to do something about it

Why regulate gambling? Reading the article about the addicted woman, she's perfectly aware of what she's doing and she's perfectly aware she's blowing money away on nothing. There's nothing to be regulated. Consciou

Yes, that would be the market interest rate based on supply/demand, as any other good. If supply >> demand (a lot of people have a capital they don't know what do to with) then you get a low interest rate, otherwise a high i

I was fat/overweight all my life until I was about 24. I had enough of it and I went from ~94kg to about 85kg quite quickly (through calorie deficit), then over 1-2 years I went to a low of about 72kg. I am about 75-76 now, and have be

And putting them in prison for multiple years, or even decades, is better ? Hardly. I think the point should be more: the justice system sucks and we should work very hard to make it better, instead of complaining about a particular consequ

Interesting, that makes sense. You still need a lot of diverse/realistic cropped objects that you can (realistically?) put into scenes. I'm not sure if simply dropping random objects into random scenes would work well enough. Also

They don't need to solve the problem of reasoning, they only need to simulate reasoning well enough. They are getting pretty good, people already have to "try" a little bit to find examples where GPT-3 or DALL-E are wrong. Gi

I switched to Tidal about 8 months ago (from Spotify) and I have to say about the only thing it has going for it is the slightly better sound quality. Otherwise it is completely inferior to Spotify in each and every way, starting with the c

Alt-Enter, or more specifically Option-Enter doesn't work on macOS. It does the same thing as Enter, as pointed out above. Good job btw, Broot looks awesome!

You have to stop at crossings yes, and it makes sense. Usually when there's a red light in one direction, the one perpendicular to it will have a green light. Dublin is similar to the UK as far as I could tell, and honestly it felt lik

Something like this is exactly what I've been looking for. I like walking both when I visit a new city and also walk regularly every day (trying to get to those 10k steps). What I would like is something like google maps where I can sa

Well, if the only thing you care about is compensation and work/life balance then of course, you should never work at a startup. There can be benefits though, arguably better personal development, a broader view of the entire tech stac
