It depends on whether or not you like that style of writing. It has always been consistent with Galloway; I like it, but I prefer listening to it over reading it. Whereas I definitely prefer reading PG’s writing over listening to it, inte

I agree. My argument isn’t that every event can and should build an intelligence apparatus. That would be impossible, though it would actually provide security. I agree. My argument is that banning flipper zeros does not do anything to impr

What’s more likely? That they were banned due to misunderstandings of what these devices are, or that they were banned they are “causing a disturbance”? Can you find an example of such a case? I’m not sure why this feels so important to def

With respect (I mean that in earnest), I think you may be the one missing the forest for the trees. Nobody is arguing we should ban phones. The argument is that banning flipper zeros doesn’t accomplish anything meaningful toward security.

This is the point. It is solving for the wrong problem. An idiot with a Pi or Flipper Zero isn’t the actual threat any more than Star Simpson was. And if you don’t agree the stupidity that Star was put through was absurd, then we simply won

Idiots runnings script kiddie exploits on their Android phone is also a threat. And?

I don’t disagree with you in general, but: > Presumably, the cops are aware of previous disruption with these specific devices, or threats thereof. And it's not like they're going to say exactly what, nor should they, lest it g

Crazy idea but: what if we built an AI pair programmer that actually pair programmed? That is, sometimes it was the driver and you navigated, pretty much as it is today, but sometimes you drive and it navigates. I surmise that would help

Indeed! Thank you!

I agree with you. My point was simply that most physicians only prescribe if the potential benefits are obvious and outweigh the potential risks / side effects. Doing nothing is something better than doing something without an obvious

All of which is more theory. Of course nobody can predict the future. Your argument is essentially “they have enough money and enough ability to attract more that they’ll figure it out,” just like Amazon did, who were also famously unprofit

This is absolutely correct. I couldn’t have said it better myself. (Except I’ll note that’s true for more than one hormone, as tirzepatide is both a GLP1 and GIP agonist, and I believe retatrutide is also Glucagon?)

> Keep in mind that a lot of the benefits go away once patients come off GLP-1 and we have not seen any studies yet on what happens to people who come off it for long term effects. Not if they increase muscle mass and change their lifest

It seems weird because we hate finding “bugs” in our bodies, but it happens all the time. Another example: low dose metformin is largely considered beneficial for most people, at least in a small way. But very few people who aren’t diabetic

All of which is great theory without any kind of evidence? Whereas the evidence pretty clearly shows OpenAI is losing tons of money and the revenue is not on track to recover it?

It is, but dupes are allowed in some cases: “Are reposts ok? If a story has not had significant attention in the last year or so, a small number of reposts is ok. Otherwise we bury reposts as duplicates.” https://news.ycombinator

In 3rd grade, my mother went in for a parent-teacher conference, and my teacher (who was a complete asshole) gave me terrible marks on behavior, but then said I was great at math. She literally said “whenever I have a math problem or someth

Oh, I agree that at some age most kids can learn most things. What we’re talking about is learning some things much earlier than peers, and not all kids can do that; there are some kids who are simply accelerated in terms of learning, and

It was a lifesaver. I went through it. I remember, distinctly, going from 'why am I here with all these other kids who just want to stare at the wall or play with G.I. Joes or stack rings' to an immense sense of relief when there

Not every student could absorb it at that level. And that’s okay.
