A while back, I read that as you age, you tend to slow down not because of your age itself, but because you incorporate all the experience you’ve accumulated over the years into your thinking process. I wish I still had the link or somethin

The likelihood of me getting you to focus on the effects on climate change are much higher than you convincing some lunatics. So I try not to shut you up, I try to funnel your energy. We both have the same ultimate goal.

If I repeat here a thousand times that you’re wrong and we should focus on the effects of climate change and not the deniers will you believe me then?

You will not convince them by saying things over and over again. It’s not like they haven’t heard the facts. It might have even have the opposite effect, increasing their unwillingness to believe it’s more than just a hoax. Ask yourself: wh

similar with video. No, I don't want to watch the Facebook video, I want the YouTube version!

For me, it is more important to fight for human lives than fighting centrists or deniers tbh. You have to pick your battles.

Interesting. Have you tried back testing your model agains fire data to analyze how well you could predict fire likelihood?

You’re both right. However OPs post is more useful than yours. By now, everyone knows about climate change. But I assume most didn’t know the fact about the pine trees in this area. Nowadays it’s much more about how we deal with climate cha

Every decision is a trade-off even when people don’t realize it. If you avoid making strong decisions that’s usually also a trade-off since you trade let’s say peace of mind / not alienating people with having a sharp spike. I often ur

Someone shared a video on this above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49043797 Another crucial element is land transport. The Gulf countries have developed a fleet of trucks to help offset some of the crude oil passing

You mean like Chat Control 2.0, by which ordinary people are targeted and politicians are exempt?

>How do experts do it? What makes them special? Expertise is not about knowing lots of explicit facts, but instead defined by what we call tacit knowledge; that is knowledge that is hard to articulate because it is so implicit to how we

Oh I see. so it’s my fault now that I didn’t understand what you were describing. And no. I don’t have any friends not even at work.

I think it’s the opposite of messy tbh. It’s clear cut. You might not like it but that’s a separate discussion. Re your colleague: I wouldn’t want to talk about it other than showing empathy for the person. At your workplace… outside of wor

For me personally the line is crossed when you start making judgments. Having an appointment with the embassy is not political. Saying the government shouldn’t force people to go to the embassy is.

I am not sure why, but many people (news / media outlets?) love end of world scenarios. too often pessimists are treated as serious, critical thinkers, while optimists are dismissed as naive or foolish. remember this guy Michael Burry

Sometimes I read a book out loud and think about something completely different. I wonder if reading aloud might be like walking. I can be walking and speaking to a person at the same time.

Education can work if there is a convincing story. What’s the story here other than a gruesome image? I wish their storytelling matched their visual designs in terms of imagination.

I somewhere read about a service that would use AI generated voices to combat these scam calls, basically talking to the forever. Forgot the name though...

Yes I can second that. During that time I was working for a large Telco. I could see how Nokia operated. They did everything the telco asked for, they installed any bloatware just to keep their sales numbers high. Apple in contrast would sa

Whenever I suspect an article is LLM authored I stop reading it immediately and instead give it to my LLM tool of choice to summarize/ paraphrase. This way I can at least somewhat control the style of the output.
