I don't know what water's purpose is in God's eyes, but I think from humans' point of view, we should try and make sure all humans have comfortable amounts of fresh water, and if that will become impossible, that's

Good comment. From Apple's point of view, AI could be a disruptive innovation: they've spent billions making extremely user-friendly interfaces, but that could become irrelevant if I can just ask my device questions. But I think t

Have you spoken to any single parents? Money does not easily substitute for e.g. the ability to cook food while somebody else changes the nappy, or to leave the house on your own for five minutes.

My version added "and yes, to our listeners... hi mom!" Very cute and kind of impressive.

"One fifth of world's steel" makes sense, was it something else before?

This seems like Anthropic showing people how to build a thin layer around Claude. Can building a thin layer around Claude be a valuable business model? If there are good profitable UIs for Claude, wouldn't Anthropic implement them itse

I never mentioned coercion - my point was just that the existing way we date doesn't work. As for feeling unable to support kids, a key part of that is having somebody to share the parenting with. Few policies or economic subsidies wou

Look, this is a totally cool and fun approach to projects , always, and it's a totally cool life philosophy in your twenties. I wouldn't recommend it as a life philosophy for your thirties and beyond, and I suspect most people

>SOFA works great for marriage, if you tweak the params a little. Most secular people arrive at this by default: You marry your 3rd serious partner sometime in your late 20’s. This doesn't really work great: * Some people get really

This is interesting to me. I'm developing a similar idea across the Atlantic. If the organizers are on here, do reach out.

I read this as "Kenya hospital" and thought, wow, that's bad even for a developing country. But no.

Maybe the key phrase here is "If you can pick up goods directly from a customer on one side and deliver them directly to a customer on the other". So he's imagining that big enough companies will have their own airship port,

No, the article is saying "actually I was wrong about being longer and slotting in between airplane and cargo ship; we can be as fast as planes, but cheaper, and take a big slice of that whole huge market". Which is why they need

I agree and have had similar experiences. But note that the fact hotels have got cheaper/better is also part of AirBnB's influence. Competition makes incumbents up their game.

I like Airbnb, because it's made staying abroad much cheaper and nicer. I also like being able to rent a taxi on an app in a new town.

Clearly Taiwan does not want to be "defended" by China, but is rather desperately asking for defence against China. Also, the international court ruled against China's claim to control everything behind the 9-dash line. It&#x

China has become more and more authoritarian under Xi, its GDP growth stats may be dodgy, and recently its housing bubble has popped big-style. It could go the way of Japan. I agree with your last sentence, all the same.

Has anyone here tried the Haidt recommendation of "no smartphones till high school, no social media till 16" with their children? Is it better than just banning them in school?

That's interesting - what kind of maths do you use in quant trading?
656.
by dash2 2y ago
The kind of maths they do on Mathoverflow is PhD level and above... they probably get paid more if they leave academia, but then they are hired to do the kind of maths on math.stackexchange.

This ought to be on the front page. It's huge, and a practical proof of the risks of giving the quote-unquote good guys the keys to our encryption.

Romer's examples aren't quite the same as what this page talks about. He describes papers where the maths is valid - the conclusions follow from the premises - but it's not tightly tied to the real world via words.
