The expansions are great, but I don't find base limiting at all! I don't know any game that simple as versatile as Carcassone: you can play friendly or cutthroat, tactical or strategic, conservative or risky, focus on or ignore fa

All copyrighted material, I don't have links to the actual works, but some books that come to mind that I would have enjoyed much more if their were 20% of pages: - The courage to be disliked (Ichiro Kishimi) - The simple path to wealt

Yes there are a number of services, and I would happily pay for them. But either they have a very small catalog, or their summaries are too short, or both.

If it works well, it could be actually very useful for longer pieces. I have read so many books with some actually good ideas hammered for +200 pages, (just to justify the cost of printing, satisfy the industry standards, or whatever) A hal

The "long periods of time" part got my attention... Usually the most difficult part is to get started, but just questions seems to suggest that is not hard for you to get started, rather than keep going. Do you like the thing you

It is impressive what it can do, yes. I couldn't tell that output from an average human work. But the copy is poor - much in line with a typical by-the-numbers release note. It is a verbose enumeration of capabilities with the cheap ad

Interesting! I am not an Apple fan boy, but I switched from Android a few years ago precisely because Apple products tend to last longer, and they release software updates for +7 years. My last non Apple phone was a Fairphone 2, and as muc

Peak: Secrets from New Science of Expertise The book is not actually about problem solving, but about deliberate practice. It is a bit tangential, but in seen problem solving as a skill, you can see how the principles in that book apply. A

Listen and honestly care about others. Show them that there is no other place or people you'd rather be with in that moment. Acknowledge that you can learn something from literally everyone. I'm trying to improve on this as well

As someone who struggled with this in the past, my recommendation is to have less meetings, and communicate more with text (chat / documents). Meetings in a foreign language drain your energy very quickly, writing gives you the room to

Mundane writing jobs might be automated soon, perhaps. But truly creative jobs? Do you honestly, really would want to read a 1000 novel written by an AI even if I assure you that is as good as what an average human could do? Now we are all

Exactly, farming is a good example. It was the dominant economy sector 100 years ago, and still is in many countries. Right now less than 2% of world population works on farming, if I am not mistaken. But all the massive improvements, all

I disagree. By definition, AI can generate average-ish work, but not new, disrupting, expressive work. It would have never come up with cubism, magic realism, or any innovation that makes art, art. They will improve at requiring less trai

Right? I don't think, however, that any competent writer or artist feel threatened by AI outputs at all. The threat comes for others abusing AI to misuse their name and steal their work. That is a legitimate concern.

Perhaps contrary to popular believe, I think the jobs that have survived thousands of years will likely survive another 50, even when all automatization included: - teachers - writers & artists - doctors - farmers - builders - scientist
