Why would a/the state wanted babies? The most rational thing to want is educated proffessionals from lower cost countries (so you can lowball them more easily) who pay their taxes and stay until retirement, and then they can be sent wh

It's not the luck that makes me sad. I think those people had extraordinary insight into how world works. Things that I consider difficult or problems that would take me months to solve (or I wouldn't be able to do that at all) wo

Actually, I think for me it's quite useful. Many people here shared their experience being in the zone when doing sports, gaming, etc. So my interpretation is that I want to train my unconscious mind so that it makes good decisions. I

Thanks for sharing, really curious to watch the video now. What I’m wondering before I do, though, is whether this isn’t that just an instance of survivorship bias? If there was another winner in the GPU space, you could be sharing video of

Would the situation change once someone can store all these texts? What if they can compress them efficiently? You could say this is just a sophisticated decompression algorithm of the original body of text.

Let's not forget also about Library of Babel ( https://libraryofbabel.info/ ) which includes all texts ever written and that will ever be written up to 3200 characters. I truly wonder how that website is allowed to exist

When I had a 5.1 setup, I had the center channel volume set higher than the side/rear channels and it made speech understandable while explosions weren't overpowering. Maybe the receiver you have allows the same?

Curious, why do you think all those great guests come to his podcasts? Wouldn't they politely decline if they thought he's not a very smart guy and a terrible host? I really think John Carmack, Mark Zuckerberg or Kevin Systrom don
