   4) it can be trained on by LLMs? 2) is not true though. This looks like it is the fourth edition because the introduction is written by Peter D. Kaufman, who also released the 3rd edition of Poor Charlie’s Almanack in 2005.

   The statistic from Paul Graham reminds me of a time when I tried to bring my grade in a mathematical computer science course up during exam inspection. I explained to the very formal (mathematical formal; he was also friendly) that I should

   Yes and having to manually toggle the plugins and hope that your requests end up in the right one wasn’t great either. Especially with the 1 action per response limit. The new GPTs look and feel much more, for lack of a better word, natural

   I find it sad that almost nobody is willing to take a nuanced view on Elon. I can highly recommend people to read Isaacson‘s biography of him. You don’t have to like him (you won’t), but it’s good to have a well formed opinion.

    You‘re points are fair. What I respect about Buffett and Munger is that they seem to do the best they can with the money they have made. They could have bought multiple yaughts, but instead spend their time reading and trying to make the wo

    I find it a large leap to go from "broken housing, inflation, too much environmentalism, and declining healthcare" to "the EU is the problem". All these "problems", as far as they exist, exist in the whole EU a

    Also related to the ending, I‘ve come to realise more and more that most people reason out of belief first and arguments second on a lot of things (maybe most things?) Climate change deniers are an obvious example. But also more nuanced vie

    I‘ve read a lot of books about Buffett‘s strategy and the goal is to find as many investment opportunities as possible and then invest in the one which most likely has the best returns. For this strategy, it doesn’t matter so much whether t

    I have worked in a "Windows-shop" once and found it very painful. But it depends I guess. If you have to stay inside some company approved IDE all day and only touch code then it could work, but if it requires setting up the build

    In my experience, the more programming languages and frameworks you know, the easier it is to learn a new one. So it depends on how much you know already and how much you want to learn.
