Oh, good comment. After reading the article, I walked away with "well, they were vague about the terms, but the real terms sound fine to me." But your comment changed my mind somewhat: it definitely isn't a co-op, and the &qu

I agree – the investigation is thorough, but I think the conclusions are a little jumpy.

I did this: I studied pure math in uni because “it could be used for anything.” I hugely regret this. 1. I didn’t find it that interesting, and so I don’t feel like I got much out of it. 2. I found later that I learn math much better when I

Aha, so I’m not the only one. For both Claude 3 Opus and 3.5 Sonnet, anecdotally its language is far more natural. So much so that I prefer it over 4o.

The one thing I remember from this is dimensional analysis. An awesome tool. You can use the units of the inputs to make sure that the output makes sense (e.g. if there's seconds in the numerator, and seconds*2 in the denominator, the

Of all the books mentioned here, I can’t recommend it highly enough. (And seeing a therapist!)

This specific issue of Lapham (focused on philanthropy) that this article came from fundamentally changed how I think about philanthropy. Can anyone recommend books that critically examine philanthropy (and articles/books with counter

This could be a cultural loss. Aren’t some floors essentially museums, with much older equipment intact?

I was nodding along until I read that they deflate XC90s. To me, that is a completely reasonable car if you have 3 children. I know people who buy Range Rovers just to drive to work, but not XC90s.

I love Chiang’s work. I also enjoy all the nonfiction essays he has written lately on AI. Regarding this story itself. I have a guilty love of stories about genius. Can anyone recommend similar stories/books/movies?

I just made the mistake of reading a few recent DHH blog posts, and I really appreciate the difference between these two people. Both have a large following, but one sits down and does his work, while the other owns a company and seems phys
