Emotion seems to be a form of super-intelligence or pre-intelligence. Every time I worry about the rate at which we are supposedly approaching "artificial intelligence", I ask myself how close we are to being able to synthesize ar

One particular thing I learned from playing chess, which turned out to be applicable in business/office-environment, is the idea of creating "space" for yourself. It's a little hard to convey without making it seem trivi

I'm not a fan of gambling for money conceptually, but I was surprised by how much I learned playing Texas Hold'em for small cash stakes with a group of friends. I think the most generally applicable thing I learned is the idea of

This was posted a few months back but comments had closed. Just got my copy today and am super excited to read. His claim to have rediscovered a sort of lost approach to Newton's calculus is super intriguing.

His daughter’s question “Why do we use functions?” is something I found myself asking during my math undergrad, and no one could give me a straight answer. To answer it to my own satisfaction, I eventually arrived at a form of predicate log

As someone who is currently considering IL-17 inhibitors for psoriasis, this kind of comment fills me with dread. The claims for products like skyrizi make it seem like they have a very good idea of why it works and what the potential risks

Did anyone else think this was going to be about algebraic roots? The complex numbers are famously the algebraic closure of the reals, but I find myself wondering lately if there is a related thought which doesn’t privilege them over the hy

I’d love it if some of the people downvoting your comment would explain why. For me, it really resonates. I think a major driver of anti-single-family-home advocacy is simply that the kind of people who become urban planners are the kind of

I’d like to go on the record as being a GPT-3 skeptic. Yes, it’s a massive improvement over markov models, and yes, it will be used for propaganda. But the AI effect is very strong, and in a year or two people will be used to it and you’ll
