My first thought is that this would be a great place to find new topics of interest at the "overlap" regions.

Do you mean the International Atomic Energy Agency?

Well, obviously there's an upper limit to that game, but I would bet Princeton's issue wasn't that they were failing to fill classrooms at the higher price point.

That's true, but if that was what was stopping him he could have got a no fees account and just used his casino budget to speculate on penny stocks instead. It would be like going to a casino that has better odds and that he can access

Custom clothing is used to signal wealth, so past a certain point, more expensive actually becomes more desirable. It happens when something is supply constrained and a costly signal. Universities are the classic example, Harvard would neve

The genteel class turning on jk Rowling was definitely a Waterloo moment in British cultural strength.

I wonder how incentives could be better aligned. Had an interesting case study where a coworker liked to gamble - he was fairly responsible, kept to his budget and treated it like an expensive hobby he enjoyed- but at the same time, he had

My wife studied costume design with a focus on historical European garments a few years back. Fascinating field! And yes, when you can't mass produce clothing it goes up in price massively. Most mass produced clothing costs slightly mo

Great case in point. I think the whole "forgotten/banned garden plant" genre appeared post ai. Probably too difficult to get together enough visuals for a full length video on an obscure plant before.

Given how likely they are to hallucinate, it might be more realistic to have ais write code for Bollywood physics first.

Victimless crimes definitely. For example, street vendors without permits are asked to leave, but not fined. Car accidents are investigated but there seems to be no 'ticket quotas' like in the west, etc. I don't know much abo

I don't think any constitution has ever guaranteed a right to privacy in public spaces. I can't imagine how that would ever work even if we were willing to make serious tradeoffs for it.

Not sure if it's what you're talking about but I had a coworker trying to break into eSports and he talked a lot about the micro vs macro skills a game requires. Sounds like we all have an aimbot for programming so the competition

Brevity mostly. I'm sure they are partially ai generated, just not in a way that detracts from my enjoyment.

John ag and that survivalist raccoon were the two I had in mind.

Not familiar with that conversation, but is the concern that it will be used to raise ticket revenue from victimless crimes without doing much to prevent the other kind?

Hehe, speak for yourself- as a 1x coder on a good day, having a nonjudgmental partner who can explain stuff to me is one of the best parts of writing with an llm :)

Gotta disagree. I've found several great new YouTube channels that clearly use ai for everything but the script writing. I assume it's an enthusiastic and smart niche expert who lacks the charisma to make videos in addition to doi

In my case, it's because it doesn't address my ask, which is why I didn't ask an ai in the first place. The only person I know who does sloppypasta is my brother in law. I know he means well, but when I ask his opinion I want

I've been in mainland China for the past year and I wish western politicians would get it through their skulls that most of the ccp model's upsides come from CCTVs in public areas and a police force that prioritizes stopping str

I don't think most people would consider them pre modern either.

Precisely by being protected from this kind of rigorous practical analysis!

I'd agree- I think the analysis I was referring to believed that analyzing a taboo makes it no longer useful as a shortcut. Guess that didn't come across enough for anyone to offer a refutation.

Would you also say that no Overton window could ever exist in a group of people capable of any sort of rational discussion?

But they're not risking rape, murder, or sti s and their pimps options for keeping them in the game are much more limited.

Most of the risks if traditional prostitution are absent in an online interaction so it's not that surprising to me.

I bet a lot of people would get into escorting if they expected their customers to look like Chris Hemsworth. Who's Hollywood got playing the next normalized John, Emma Watson?
