A friend of mine's 9 y old used Scratch to build games. He asked me "do you build games?" "No, I wish, I don't really have an idea for a game" "Well how about one where you chase zombies?" "Haha

I think it's fine to invest in say battery technology. In Europe IIRC, for example, doctors are not allowed to advertise. Not considered ethical. In this article, the for profit medical system has placed ethics so far behind money. It&

It shocks me to see the end game of a culture where the ONLY incentive is financial gain. Doctors performing unnecessary surgery making 90k per week. Shameless. And everyone is making money, laser makers etc, everyone else doesn't dism

That's not much relative difference. How much does 1% difference make? I am tempted to call it equivalent.

They are broken down at the incineration temperature of around 700C. Cement plants are also interesting because of the even higher temperatures of 1200C I believe.

Discovered Joscha Bach on a Lex Friedman podcast earlier this year, and found him a clear and coherent philosopher. I wanted to share this latest interview which discusses among other topics the AI doomerism narrative.

It's irritatingly cautious. Batman, James Bond, papa smurf... If you say a man in a Batman suit it'll draw Batman though... With their reasoning it seems that any kid drawing a Batman logo on their notebook is breaking some IP law

U7 was amazing! My heart still belongs to Ultima V though! Meditating at the Shrines, developing virtue, learning how to talk to people ("NAME", "JOB"), truly formative experience for me. Got lost without the current day

Actually, computers were banned because humans were enslaved to thinking machines for several millennia. The butlerian jihad is when mankind rose up and physically destroyed every "thinking machine". Then they developed mentat sc

Nice to see you name them as a pair. Very often, people seem to focus on Metta only, maybe due to the focus on this Sutta. To my understanding, Compassion / Lovingkindness are linked and often arise together, and it's a bit odd to

Two very nice meditation teachers, very skilled. They practice and teach for many years, long time based in Thailand. I like their approach of Compassionate Understanding, compared with some of the more achievement minded approaches we find

Yeah I'd also recommend this (and Last of Men) by Olaf Stapledon. Written in the 30s, it shows an incredible breadth of vision in space and time.

I understand that layoffs suck. But it's not different at any other company. Just because it is Twitter, tech, and Elon, we can make a big deal out of it and public outcry, insult the CEO etc. But when it's any other large company

Here is a critical take on representing this as a hierarchy or a pyramid. Interesting to see that even learning institutions use a pyramid, or as shown in another comment a 3D pyramid. https://donaldclarkplanb.blogspot.com/2

Indeed, in Theravadin Buddhism the Buddha is said to have taught monks and laypeople skillfully, to their appropriate level. The Anapanasati Sutta, which is about Englightement through mindfulness of the breath, is cited by many teachers as

I am very happy to read this. Most people in the west understand Mindfulness in isolation, and often only mindfulness of the breath as meditation. And the intention is to "feel calm" or "not think", or want the Headspace

God emperor is amazing. The vision! I can't remember if it's Heretics or Chapterhouse when Miles Teg gets accelerated... I like the first three for the continuity of the Atreides story. But I love the latter three for the depth. I
