Agreed - they’re playing house. It’s tragic, but also a little amusing how people copy the outside looks without understanding the inside value.

I thought the idea behind lambda was good I was a lot more surprised by PG's strong support for Mighty which seemed a lot more bizarre. Though his recent tweets wrt Israel have been the most disappointing for me.

This is pretty messed up - I liked the idea of incentive aligned ISAs (and actually teaching a skill that universities mostly don't), but it still requires someone of good character making decisions ultimately.

I mostly feel bad for them. I generally hate pile ons on principle and HN tends to be nasty about anything new even when it is wildly successful so nastiness here is no signal (and hardware is hard, it's good for people to try new thin

Another happy fastmail user here. If you use a custom domain you also make it easier to switch going forward (though not as true for me because I use an email alias for each account). The most tedious bit of the switch is updating all accou

Perhaps, but it isn’t helped that spending effort to understand is often in direct conflict with the work required to get a good grade. You’re not tested on understanding how stuff is derived or how it’s used, you’re tested on grinding prob

imo this is largely because of the incentives around the game of school and testing. If you must wait 20yrs before you can do interesting stuff and you’re evaluated primarily on your ability to maximize your grade then anything that gets in

I’m pretty sure Yudkowsky read true names and it’s what caused him to focus his life on the alignment problem. That novella is basically an illustrated warning of misaligned super intelligence (it’s also really good!)

I had vitamin d deficiency and they prescribed a 50,000 IU pill to take once a week for 3 months, then said 5000 IU daily after that would be fine. What qualified as deficient also changed during this time too. The recommendation doesn’t su

Yeah it's wildly, embarrassingly bad - to such a point it feels like Zuck must not be using it. Maybe most of his attention is on the AI stuff and the Ray Bans? There's a ton of half-baked old ideas in the UI, it's extremely

Not everybody develops PTSD, I think that’s the core point.

I think a lot of this psych science is bullshit - I’m generally skeptical of it given the problems in the replication crisis (and that a lot of modern psychotherapy seems to be making things worse for kids).

Even (maybe especially) extreme suffering can create resilience - I suspect it’s not optimal for happiness, but that’s not what this is about. This is about resilience. A less resilient person may have a perfectly happy and content life doi

It's more about resilience and what sets the stage for it. He argues resilience is created through suffering (which plays into the idea that if you want to know who will be a good founder, ask about their childhood). It makes me curiou

It’s not astroturf and I’m not ashamed. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn’t mean their position isn’t genuinely held.

Progressives love to quote that one letter, but it's an outlier from the more universalist principles he repeatedly said in everything else he wrote and spoke (though people are complicated and can simultaneously hold conflicting views

I happen to believe it’s true that a best effort is made to minimize civilian death (you can read about the lengths Israel goes to in order to avoid civilian casualties, more than any other country, and to such an extent that Hamas takes ad

This is a longer conversation not fit for HN. The very quick response is 10/7 was a brutal massacre of civilians - the goal being to torture, rape, and kill regular people including and especially women and children (of which many are

That’s a fair critique and I don’t think I disagree.

The other more effective, more liberal option is persuasion. This is something MLK understood.

This employee is an idiot and they deserved to be fired. Shouting down others is not speech - it’s censorship, even a company with broad internal speech protections/policy is likely to enforce discourse standards. Google would be bette

Other vision issues can be relevant too. I have a very slight lazy eye - I can still see 3D video but my stereo vision is worse than average. I suspect it affects the eye tracking because for me it feels a little tedious and imperfect, but

I think signal/OTR has e2ee support for pretty large groups. The kid was using airport wifi for this right? I'd guess public airport wifi installs some backdoored SSL cert and is generally monitored ( and you probably agree to th

Yeah, though I think Bay Area is similar - LA is huge and more equivalent to compare to Bay Area (SF + Oakland + Peninsula + San Jose), than just SF itself. Also more comparable populations that way too.

I explored Brickell and Miami Beach, comparing to LA is unfair imo, that’s like comparing to “Bay Area” instead of SF.

Miami? I was impressed with Miami when I visited. Lots of high rise residential housing, sane political governance, nice downtown, and pretty walkable.

I watched a for all mankind episode in it today in the cinema environment and that was really good. I’ve similarly watched other videos and it’s good at that, the four immersive video examples are cool. Window nav is meh, the eye tracking i
