Surprised that such a poorly written article as this gets so much attention on HN. Trite thoughts, misspelled words, poorly defined concepts and pessimism that can't back itself up.

If you believe that hand-written notes improve your memory and comprehension, as I do, then the real value of this kind of tool is simply to make conversations searchable, and easily shareable. https://journals.sagepub.com/d

Had a similar experience with some Malaysian crooks. They wanted my US trademark, and somehow seized it on several US social media.

Can all the people who claimed SBF would never be arrested because of the corruption of media, establishment and Democrats please ask themselves how many other false things they believe because of their tribe's ideology?

One thing that surprised me when I first learned about Borges was the weight he gave to his English lineage, intellectually and culturally. Argentina has a fraught relationship with the UK, especially since the Falklands, but there are many

GOFAI was never more than a rules engine. If-then statements. Agree with you about probabilistic AI being useful in low-stakes situations, at least at first.

Really interesting. For me, this solves some of the data ingest and manual update problem of creating a "second mind".

I suspect that many, many remote, international workers will find themselves in this situation. And many many remote-first companies will pursue these tactics. This is the downside of the coming globalization of white-collar jobs due to rem

"Just say no" ignores a lot of power dynamics. And they will get mad if "no" means "I think someone or something else is more important than you." Skill at Excel doesn't always translate well to navigati

Phone calls barely merit the name "virtual interactions." But in any case, when people are working remotely, the vast majority are using audio while they look at a screen , which underscores my point.

Virtual interactions are tied to screens. That's their weak point, because screens affect our vision, how we move and focus our eyes. Our eyes are the only part of our brain exposed to light and air. It turns out that how we move and f

Sunsama did a really great job of helping me adopt new habits that brought more structure to my work day. https://www.sunsama.com/ But you need to enforce your own bedtime and waking time to make it effective.

Wow, Gary Marcus just Schmidhubered Yann LeCun. The ironic thing of course is that Yann has not been at the forefront of AI for many many years (and Gary, of course, never has). Facebook's research has failed to rival Google Brain, Dee

Dumb article with a dumb headline, which shows no understanding of what central planners are or the authoritarian systems from which they arise. They're using Wework as a whipping boy, and pointing at Softbank as a typical VC, although

ERP lockin is enormous. Most companies stick with a single ERP provider for 20-30 years. And 80% of attempts to swap in one ERP for another fail. Usually after customers waste millions of dollars and years of engineering work. The underlyin

Key idea is the "data maturity" of the topic under discussion. Where there is data, you should use it and be smart about it. For a lot of big decisions, especially in companies doing something new, there is no good data at first.

I met Masa personally a couple times, and used to know several people in his inner circle. The reason why Softbank buys at the top is because they do not have good internal filters to judge technology. "Masa invests in cr*p," one

This is not very substantial work. They used the API, gave it more challenging questions on 14 prompts, and judged whether it met expectations. I would have expected something much more intelligent from Aaronson, although this kind of light
