It should have desires but it's not clear where does a desire come from. One might think that it's a product of evolution and is therefore simply required for survival but looking at humans, many have plenty of desires not linked

The remarkable thing is that language can combine intelligence of multiple beings and at some point that collective intelligence becomes a thing of it own, it can capture minds, spread and grow. Now we have all of our collective intelligenc

If it wasn't the case, tv/media wouldn't have been so effective in shaping people's thoughts and opinions. It's not rare to hear people rephrasing what they read on social media as their own thoughts. Because it tru

Pretty much everyone who studied a second language went through the process of the so called "impression", that is, when you try to consume (sometimes almost mindlessly) as much content in this language as possible — just learning

Often unnoticed but very important part of the traditional education is having the peer group to compare yourself too. The desire to copy and compare each other kicks in and now it's no longer just about getting grades but rather how d

Its ability to correct itself is very impressive when given the feedback. I imagine with the proper feedback loop it can advance very fast. E.g., when asked to write a piece of html markup, if it could "see" how the rendered layou

For solo dev this is such a game changer. I found it difficult to work on solo projects in the past because there is no one to talk to who understands what I am doing. Now whenever I feel "stuck" I just write my thoughts to ChatGP

I think it’s the same reason people rarely choose frugal FIRE approach, that is, live spending as little as possible to optimise for early retirement. People generally have way too many desires for it too be enough. The pecking order dynam

Remembering when I was wrong about something I felt strongly about in the past can be a good reminder to suspend harsh judgment.

Good analogy. It feels as if AI is in its child-like stage, trying to make sense of the world on its own, mixing together concepts it has just discovered but not fully understood in an amusing way.

Avoiding eating too much. It was easy for me to get used to frequent snacks and meals but this ultimately kills productivity and make me lazy and sluggish, not to mention other downsides. Moderate hunger on the other hand helps to stay focu

Bad actors would probably start using it against competitors just like the fake 5 star review attacks. It's really interesting how seller competition evolves, anything that can be used to punish a bad seller ends up being used as a way

There are also people who are good employees but aren’t good at marketing and selling themselves, lack negotiation skills, or suffer from the imposter syndrome. I would guess that the lack of transparency allows to take advantage of that.

Not sure how reliable it is but according to SA, 78% is owned by institutions https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/GME , the part owned by retail should be truly small. How this narrative of retail being in control is being

I learned to like it over time. YouTube recommendations helped me find incredibly valuable content which I don't think I would be able to find without the algorithm being new to the topic and not quite knowing where to look. These days

A possible direction would be smaller apartments in tall buildings. Quicker to build than a house and more affordable. You don’t have a lot of space in them, but when it’s located in a big city, you can spend the time outside enjoying hobbi

I am not sure it’s right to say that one way or another is dysfunctional. Each family is unique, people have different goals and preferences. There is no approach that would be right for everyone. But if the reasons for staying are mostly e

Based on my limited experience, you enter during the bull market, make some easy wins, and start wanting to bet more and more because winning feels so easy. I could totally feel this process when I bought a few option calls that over a few

Neediness is always perceived as weakness. Same with negotiations, the less you need something, the stronger position you have, the better deal you get.

Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s small, might be just undervalued and it’s probably cheaper to run a startup there due to lower cost of living and salaries.

Everyone has their own learning style. I found that coding books are quite boring for me too, but working on a practical project can be enjoyable and educational at the same time as you learn things along the way as a part of the journey.

Not sure how C is related to A and B. Learning tech and doing is not the same. Plenty of actually useful things are made with old boring tech that was around for decades.
