Individualism vs. Utilitarianism In this case, my bet is on utilitarianism just because the harm to thousands will be much less than the benefit to billions.

I started getting hooked drinking while watching Mad Men (2007). They’d drink so much in that show and make it look cool. So, in the evening I’d have a bourbon. Which turned into two, then three, then 10 years later I was drinking 1L a day.

I don't know what it's like now, but in the 1980s, we received aid, and you certainly couldn't live on it. It was a horrible existence. Yeah, we'd sometimes game the system. For instance, we knew if we bought something f

I'm just a data point, but I lost 12 friends before I was aged 20. This was in the rust belt during the 90s. The reasons ranged across the board: opioids, crack, alcohol, cancer, preventative health conditions, accidents, and suicides.

I thought TikTok was a threat because it's used to broadcast pro-China and anti-American propaganda. As far as I know, none of the other US tech giants are doing that.

The price of a house in the middle of nowhere is labor + materials. The closer you get to a population center (where people want to be) it becomes labor + materials + property value, where property value increases non-linearly. At the cente

I have a student in a school district that spends 24k per student. My daughter's class has 14 people in it. And, they have teacher's assistants. You would expect that this is the ideal public school, right? Unfortunately, her clas

I definitely learned a lot. Since I had to cross reference to text books, Wikipedia, and github, I gained a good grasp of the material. It helped that I had a math and stats background, though. But, I imagine learning linear algebra this wa

It never gives me perfect code, but it gets me 90% there. For example, I just read the 2017 Google attention paper a few days ago, and with ChatGPTs help I was able to build a complete implementation using only numpy. It took a full day to

It's really interesting how disconnected these organizations are. And, they're even disconnected within the same organization. You'd be amazed.

The US Supreme Court says that there's no right to privacy. So, I doubt the government is motivated.

When I stopped working (cause I was tired and had saved more than enough money), I pretty much played video games and smoked pot for 2 years. My spouse gave me a hard time, because she was getting social pressure because of it. But, she bas

The problem won't be the cost. It will be access. Someone's going to say it's too powerful and restrict it.

It'd be more interesting to see how it looks based on income and wealth rather than skin color. I don't mind if the most motivated people get to go to the most prestigious schools. I would like poor kids to be represented proporti

There’s no public one. But, data brokers have this info, and share it. Internally, a lot of companies can do this. So, it’s not far-fetched.
