Wow so it's down to the building level? I wonder how he did those and how accurate they are. Dimensions seems right on.

Well then his death proved Stern wrong. Soooo many people in my feeds out of seemingly nowhere talking about much they liked his videos, and that aligns with reports of how much money he made at it.

The same can lead one to making a martyr out of a despicable voice.

Off the top of my head, I do several things: 1) tell stories of how I came to enjoy something I previously had not 2) don't make anything contentious...respect preferences while insisting they can change those preferences if they want

Good taste should be intriguing, so you might be doing it wrong.

Yes! This is underrated and something I work on with my kids, because it really is a pillar of good living. For me it's been everything from many foods, to basketball, to hiking, to art museums, and maybe someday I'll even tolerat

It may become even MORE true when AI’s influence is fully apparent.

You need to be in service of some other(s), and that’s about all there is to it.

This is the difference between knowing things and feeling things.

Thank you; that’s at least as dumb as I expected.

Why is that even a thing people talk about?

This conversation started as general advice, and as such, avoidance of human connection around death is poor advice. You sound like you have good reason for your avoidance, but you shouldn't extrapolate that it's a good general st

Not a popular approach these days, but you’re absolutely right. This is an example where setting healthy boundaries has veered into hiding away from life and avoiding hard, messy human things.

It could be that we do know how they work, we just don’t know how to contextualize their output (as in, we ascribe way too much humanity to it) and that obscures what we think must be happening.

Someone thinks they're really killing it with AI project, and that really bothers me. I'm pretty sure I don't want to see ANY AI unless it is labeled as such.

They’re treading lightly because they know you’re unstable.

This is an important book with kots of parallels to The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, both good and bad. Ultimately, I think Welch-ian thinking is a dramatic abandonment of following first principles.

If you find something solid behind the hand-wavy stuff, I’d really love an email with details.

This story is exactly where it was 20 years ago, I’m afraid.

How did you evaluate it so thoroughly?

Very good book. I read it way back when as well.

Yes, and I believe the hygiene hypothesis is one of the mechanisms at play, for sure. Didn’t mean to imply otherwise. But this other idea I think could ALSO be a factor and it’s not as neat and tidy for people to understand, so it’s importa

The hygiene hypothesis is compelling, as many in this thread demonstrate. But there is sort of an opposite less tidy explanation which needs to be studied further: our immune systems are confused by a barrage of foreign antagonists in the m

His choices were bus or walk (my experiences in the car lines are from days when kids needed to picked up for an occasion) before you jump to too many conclusions.

Well that headline sums it up. After 10 years of dealing with it and wondering "how the f did we get to this point", it's satisfying to hear it called what it is. A small win in our family was in my son's final year of e

Love it. The scoring is a bit tough though; I gained 18k/50k points but yet beat 72% of people.

Not as rude as ignorant indiscriminate knee-jerk criticism of government work.

I would love to read more about this idea.

The lack of handling identity is a showstopper for ActivityPub. I cannot for the life of me figure out why they didn’t go the extra and make identity portable.
