I honestly don't care if the stuff I consume for entertainment comes from a an AI, a dude in his 40s or a combination of both. I just want it to be good. I think it' silly to demand some minimum quotas just to "save" job

If everything is in your closet, how do you want to provide reliable auto-scale, redundancy, backups etc? I have friends in Ukraine, where shit literally blows up on a daily basis. And if this example is too extreme for you, I also have fri

I am a cloud solution architect in Germany and since April I switched to a 4 days work week (Fridays off) for a 20% pay cut (actually less than that since now I pay a bit fewer taxes). The way I think about it is it’s 50% more free time eac

I highly recommend the book "Other Minds" by Godfrey-Smith, it has changed my view on this topic. I understood that consciousness is a scale. Humans have "a lot" of it, chimpanzees a bit less, dogs even fewer, but we all

It's great to look back to the beginnings of people and to see the progress they have made. I remember checking out some of the first Nerdwriter videos. He's come a long way! Maybe there's hope for me too ;)

Quite an interesting read! "consciousness arise when brain's predictions fail" - so would placing ourselves in an environment of absolute uncertainty result in absolute consciousness? How about a consciousness training invol

It's absurd that some rich guy is micromanaging such cases and deciding the outcomes willy-nilly.

Infinite Jest, 1984 and Moveable Feast return Catcher in the Rye, Sun Also Rises, Gravity's Rainbow and Slaughterhause-Five. These are very basic recommendations. Not great

I own a LAMY ST Steel Fountain Pen and I love it. I really like its steel, simple bauhaus-like design. Feels like something Dieter Rams would've designed.

What a bunch of puritan bullshit. It’s not for any court to decide what is pretty and what is ugly. There should not be any sanctums, especially not in the legal system

What's the minimum effective dose here? What should I be optimizing for? Somthing like "get your heart rate to above 130 for 20 minutes, 3 times a week" would be a helpful guidance

Anectodal, but for me it was great working 25 hours a week. I had plenty of time for myself, learned a lot, went biking and running a lot, and eventually even completely changed my life by using the time to pivot into a different career pat
