Did you mean to write "non-legible" ?

Thank you for sharing, and thank you for your candor! If there was one strategy that had the best bang/buck impact on your own productivity during that intense time, what would that be (if you're willing to share)? Thanks in adv

You are actually right. I'm fairly gregarious, and find it fairly easy to approach strangers (if I have to). Yes, a lot of human contact can be had for fairly cheap. However, I'm also aware that this is far from "normal"

Human contact is indeed a luxury good now. They used to say: "buy cheap, buy twice" Now it'll be something like: "interact cheap, interact with AI"

Lots of future unicorn CEOs on here? I mean "temporarily embarrassed billionaires".

I think this is a continuum: I let candidates use X during coding interviews. I've personally seen this evolve over the past 20 years Whiteboard --> Text editor --> IDE --> ...? Maybe "AI Coding Assistant" is next.

I'm rooting for this to happen at scale. It'll be an object lesson in short-termism. (and provide some job security, perhaps)

Well, the tax rate for people making (say) more than 2 million / year could just be 50%, and then increase by 10% for every 0 added. $20 million -> 60% $200 million -> 70% $2 billion -> 80% I think that would bring things unde

Sanguine means "optimistic or positive, especially in an apparently bad or difficult situation". Did you mean to write a different word, or are you saying "if a family member dying of cancer had their treatment delayed, I&#x2

I've been there, and it's definitely worth it -- if anyone is in the Seattle area, go check it out asap!

If you haven't already, you should check out Daniel Dennett's "From Bacteria to Bach and Back". I think you'll be susceptible to "catching" a lot of the ideas in there :)

Wow! This really captures several key facets of what's going on. Thank you for making time to write all of that. P.S. Your JPB quote from 1992 reminded me of Stuart Brand in 1985: > "Computers suppress our animal presence. When

I didn't see Andy Farnell's "Digital Self-Defense" mentioned, but I think it's relevant here -- analogous to how one should be cognizant of personal safety when navigating a city (or even while crossing a busy inter

I think you're both right, though in different ways. GP is correct that life today "beats" that from the 90s -- as far as convenience/friction is concerned. OTOH, just like how "sitting is the new smoking", a 1

Indeed, and after that shit turns cold, it'll be the "heat death" of the Information Universe that we called the Internet.

Transposed to a very different time and place, the "bravado" here really reminded me of the "repeated dives in a carbon-fiber sub to crushing depths" -- with such setups, it's just a matter of when, not if.

I'm not so sure about that. It looks like they were copying out the contents of an online test/exam, and the "listen" could've been a recording that's played back (to make the test accessible to deaf/HoH f

You're right! IME, LinkedIn suffers from a different problem: on there, "everything is awesome", and the toxic positivity embedded in its DNA always snuffs out any authentic rancor. So yes, it's free of bad behavior -- b

Is that also the "F*** Around" phase? IMO, the "Find Out" is at least 1-2 years away.

I'm a paying customer of Kagi. Kagi itself runs on top of Google. It's certainly worth paying for (IMO), but let's not kid ourselves -- it is *not* a competitor (as in, can replace Google). Without Google, there is no Kagi.

In TFA, "EdTech" refers to things like grade-school subjects: e.g. learning to do fractions. In this respect, replacing human teachers with software/apps is what's being debated. The consequence of this replacement is a
