That’s an idea that’s been around since 1883. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Right_to_Be_Lazy But that has never stuck enough for masses to fight for it. It’s a shame. Personally, the way I cracked it is by freelanc

I assume also that LLMs are not very good at chronology. Since law evolves, I wouldn’t be suprised that LLMs would spit out arguments that are out of date.

Good article. People don’t realize the breadth of the impact of the low rates and quantitative easing policies. This stuff clearly helped navigate the 2008 crisis. But the cost is huge: bubbles everywhere, inequalities through the roof, spi

I am pretty sure you’re talking about the time when the doctor asks you to lift your dick to check that you don’t have an STD or something . Best moment of the process.

People need to realize that the Internet in the 90s was not very good in itself. It felt awesome because what we had before were books and TV. We can’t recreate the feeling we had back then, because it was caused by a drastically new experi

Where we are, it is still a matter of belief. I do believe what the author claîms, but it’s not something that’s proven so far, so it can’t be imposed as fact. The main consequence to the “soul” being physical is that free will is an illusi

I always counted 50 minutes from midtown to JFK, taking the E train to Jamaica station and the air train. But I think GP's point is that it could be done in 20 minutes. The A train is a subway, it's nowhere near the speed of th

This looks like a feature. Not sure why somebody thought it was a good idea. There probably was a use case at some point where it seemed smart to allow for things like this. Maybe it’s for CI, but I really can’t think of why. But I really d

The original point is to use crowd wisdom. Crowds seem better than single individuals to predict outcomes of certain types of events. I think this is visible in sports betting markets. Unless all games are rigged, games outcomes are fairly

I think there is a market for cars as well. 15 years ago, Dacia used to make stripped sedans that sold for as cheap as 7.5k euros. It was a wild success. Now, they've pivoted to making modern cars, still on the cheap side, but the chea

To me it's obvious that acetaminophen and ibuprofen do not target the same kind of problems. I am not a woman, but my wife says acetaminophen does not work on menstrual pain for instance. I take acetaminophen for fever, and those kind

It had never been opened. It fell in a pool. It stayed there about 30 seconds (1m deep). When I fished it out, screen was off and it never turned back on.
