I wish I could wake up one day and, too, simply discover a couple of $B in assets. As if I forgot where I put them and then my memory miraculously came back. <sips coffee>

I really liked The Theoretical Minimum lectures on classical and quantum mechanics by Leonard Susskind (suggestion: google up the guy, he’s cool) at Stanford. You can buy books, but the lectures are all free on YouTube. Classical mechanics

These are two separate questions. > How much of a premium are you, as a customer, willing to pay for the beauty? Depends on the category of goods, but if I can afford it then I will probably choose something aesthetically pleasing to m

I wish more businesses would treat beauty as a function of a product just like all other “actual” functions of it, a valid part of the whole package. I know it won’t probably happen anytime soon, because “ROI when???”, just been thinking ab

But isn’t that a problem as old as at least internet? Some people tend to project their biases, insecurities and vitriol only as far as they won’t get hit in a face by a brick. What I find weird (and I agree with you) is that some people fe

Generally eat more proteins and fats and less stuff with outright sugar, including fructose. Get your carbs from pasta and such, and don’t overdo fruit juices. Eventually your body learns that you’d better grab some tuna and avocado instead

For me it’s also that at some point I stopped wanting snacks in the evening because with the right diet eventually the cravings went away. I also got used to falling asleep on an almost empty stomach, and trying to sleep right after a meal

On a bit of a trolling side, but: those who don’t have expectations can’t experience frustration. Therefore, use Inoreader. /s

Not liking the direction Apple took with OS X user interfaces and stuff in the later years, I generally stuck with Mojave on my macs. I wish I could try this without upgrading to ah, what was it, Monterey? but alas, alas.

Question from a foreigner: if this bank is so important for your ecosystem, why don’t y’all interested parties chip into some fund or something and buy it out yourself?

Dunno about that, I feel like this dichotomy is too often repeated to cover the original malice in the first place. I strongly doubt that those people got to where they were by being that incompetent.

Admittedly I don’t follow this rationalist thing on the internet at all, so I don’t know what’s going on with them. But that was hell of a read. I am no stranger to people being dicks, but still, that all is just sick.

Disagree. As far as I understand, in this article he argues that in the, say, ChatGPT output, compression happens. But does it really? To make a similarly low resolution metaphor, a “bayesian kaleidoscope” of a language model doesn’t necess

I haven’t noticed, but I usually hang around King Arthur’s website for bread recipes and they use mass and bakers’ percentages, so do other baker blogs that I may find. Maybe it’s different for things other than bread, but I can’t say. Hail
