The problem is that it's very hard to convey subtlety & uncertainty. Sometimes the truth is "we may go in one of these 3 ways so we have to cover our bases to be able to go in either once we do know" but people (especiall

There was a tremendous amount of conflict in the new world, just mostly not between countries (the conquest of the Americas had a death toll of 70-100m people).

I think a lot of it is also that you just don't care as much about the politics of other countries. I moved from Israel, initially to Austria and then to Germany. I also feel the same thing about not being absorbed/bombarded by th

I wasn’t seriously expecting investment to change, just kinda funny/sad that in this case the thing getting automated is something humans enjoy doing (illustrating) rather than many things they both don’t enjoy and need more (street cl

I’m not from Munich (or any place richer/cleaner than Berlin). It was just an example off the top of my head, I don’t think litter in parks and streets is what makes Berlin’s charm/flair.

But the people at OpenAI aren’t doing it as a hobby, they’ve got a lot of money to conduct this research (from Wikipedia: “The organization was founded in San Francisco in late 2015 by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and others, who collectively ple

I don’t want it “whatabout” this, but…Is art really the thing we need to automate right now? There’s so much labor that we more directly need more of and that we could all benefit a lot more from automating it. To give a mundane example off

I don't know where in the middle east you lived or if you miscalculated how hot 120F is (it's almost 50c). I'm sure it gets that hot in the middle of the desert but most people in the middle east don't live in the middle

I think these are exceptionally interesting questions, and may suggest the solutions would include redistribution of the benefits of increased productivity from the capitalist class to society as a whole (a reversal of the trend we'v

In a lot of suburbs of Atlanta* (and even within Atlanta itself!) you will find residential neighborhoods with no sidewalks. And these are definitely not rural. * The choice of city is due to personal experience, but I doubt it's unusu

As a resident of Berlin (that likes living there) I feel it's important to also mention NYC has almost 2.5 times as many people and unlike Berlin is part of a large urban agglomeration (the northeast megalopolis - total population ~50m

Is it possible you didn't actually have that much insight into what they do day to day? I'm currently running a small company (<10 people) and I was working as a developer (including lead) for about 15 years before that & t

Even aside from all of that, I was just reacting to the overly simplified “well by definition they’re worth what the market says they are so there’s nothing to discuss beyond it”. The stock market is routinely “mistaken” and stocks get over

The less literal reading of OPs statements is that Tesla is overvalued & will at some point in the future face correction down to a value more in line with their sales/profit potential. I have no horse in the game (no Tesla nor any

Ideally yes, but it’s also not that easy to find senior developers and a lot of them don’t like having to hand-hold juniors.

The problem is that a lot of developers (especially junior ones) make shitty decisions and/or just work slowly without the accountability of having to say what they worked on (and having to explain why what they said they will “finish

I agree about your assessments of north-Germans, but I haven't found south-Germans (or at least Austrians, which everyone tell me are ± the same as Bavarians) any better - in fact in my 8 years in Vienna I found the natives a lot less

If the OP is correct in their assessment, they work 13.5 hours per day - that sound way too much to me, especially as they previously used to work 8.5 hours minus breaks... I'm personally happy to put in a productive 9-5 and don't

I think you’re arguing past each other. Nobody (I hope at least) disputed European settlers treated the native Americans horribly. The argument was that in many places in Europe it’s literally unremarkable that people live in houses signifi
