You aren't comparing your experience to the average American, let alone the average person in the world. You are comparing a rich tech job to a different rich tech job.

Contrary to this, I think we do see FOSS authors post every now and then that when their packages explode in popularity, they can't provide meaningful support, and end up closing down their FOSS project instead. I think it's entit

The problem of course is that not every issue needs a "both sides" treatment. Sometimes there are questions of objective facts that reading lies from alternative sources do not actually help you in understanding the truth of the w

I did something similar between school and a job, but it wasn't so much intentional as acute burnout. In tech, we luckily have the luxury to take time off and recover when we need to. I worked on some closed source personal projects an

Agree with the "miserable" comment. Dissatisfaction will cause people to move around in the market. I don't know how much I buy the argument that people are looking for WFH, more than that they are looking to not work in a se

Pretty sure there was recent research which says the opposite: people always have more appetite for money, just that the amount of money required is nonlinear with respect to wealth. Rich people still get happy when they make money, and s

I agree. Most criminals are not very bright, and in the case of large organized crime, you still need to be able to communicate with employees that aren't very bright. Custom stenography comes at a cost to your organization in terms of

So when deciding on the policies of a nation of 350 million people, you look at the top 10? That's a completely arbitrary cut off. Why not look at the top 1, and then tell me that I should extrapolate that out to say that every billion

I've seen those arguments against free college (what if people get a useless degree in literature!). I think it's bogus. I want to live in a society of thoughtful intelligent people. I pretty much don't care what you study. I

Is this supposed to be reassuring? From a societal standpoint, we should design a system that rewards the behavior we want to see. No one has given me any evidence that "being born to someone rich" is actually the thing we want to

STEM make more money, and more money is associated with happiness. But you probably wanted something more conclusive.

The human brain does have a simulator. It's well known. How do you know where to move your hand to catch a ball? Or what is happening when you blink? Your brain is constantly simulating a few milliseconds ahead.

Problem: you don't understand it therefore you think RL isn't sufficient. There is no evidence that the thing you don't understand isn't based on RL too.

Wrong: Some Bozo does have a stake. The existence of human crafted general AI forces him to struggle with the possibility that there is no such thing as a soul. I know a lot of people don't fall in that camp, but I heard enough "s

On the one hand; award winning ai specialists. On the other: an anonymous internet commenter. I'm not going to take bets on who is right, but simply saying "nuh uh" is not exactly breaking ground.

This is just a nationalist policy. Even the French don't think it's actually practical. It's just "see, France can push other countries around too".

This subject was written about as well by the esteemed Jon Ronson, in "So you've been publicly shamed". Reading it today may sound quaint, but it's also interesting to know that he also wrote about Alex Jones several yea

The article says "1", because human language is different than bird language. So therefore all human language is the same. Yes it's stupid. You'd only follow that reasoning if you were looking to sell a book.

That doesn't hold up, because an ISP can ban you for any reason they want. It has nothing to do with interacting with other people.

Great point. I can't imagine paying for water, and then having the pipe company ban me, and having no recourse.

But what do you think about him borrowing money using his "worthless" stock as collateral? Clearly the increase in stock price is valuable to banks. So why not the IRS?

This is only partially correct. The brain encodes a lot of information in the actual hardware connections. So it's not obvious that you can't get at least a partial boot of the brain from flatline.

TLDR: 6909, or 230, or 2197, or 832, or 2508. It depends how you measure. Or maybe 1 if you want to sell a book about how humans are, like, all the same on the inside bruh.

Yeah, there are two things going on here: 1) Some queries are blocked. This results in "Nothing found", even when there obviously are images... 2) Some images are blocked. If you use a query that bypasses the word-filter, some ima

It's because the search query is blocked. I think the more surprising thing is that it only effects the Image search results, and not the web search results. I checked the Video results, and Videos also appear blocked. It's possib
