For those interested in brain evolution and practical neuroscience/human behavior: Carl Sagan's books "Broca's Brain" and "The Dragons of Eden" from the 70's-80's are good initial reads on brain

So here is an excellent example and interesting race condition that is developing in AI applications and venture-backed startups: what is truly AI-resilient enough to invest millions of dollars in a "land grab"--when the land is l

Look, folks. I'm an old man and pretty much out of the workforce at this point in my life. But what I see in these comments day, after day is rather pitiful. As your Uncle John, I'm going to give you a lecture: From the article

Not much discussion here, but this is a good observation about not just incorporating something like creativity into your life, but how much emphasis we all put on incorporating pleasure into our work lives. That transition happened someti

I volunteer mentor at the Rady School Sullivan Center at UCSD. It's a very good program that offers no-credit "learn by doing" programs that pairs entrepreneurial-minded students with technology startups. Everybody wins. Th

Lesson: competition applies to spiritual pursuits as much as any other aspect of human existence.

Wow, this is important. This experiment needs to be duplicated (by many different people) and then we will know more. Right now I'm wary of buying SanDisk cards...

Learning is accelerated by writing down notes, etc. Research has shown this brain loop is important.

The problem can be fixed: adjust or realign the business model and incentives around the needs of the stakeholders. - Students want a credential because business and society demands a credential - Universities want income to support their m

Hmmm, that's currently the 46th best post on HN right now?

I read the post. The title is correct, but the article itself doesn't follow, because the major theme is about caring. Caring about something enough to build it out is important. But "caring" does not equal "customer

Fear is normal. Jump in. Learn how to learn. Get really good at that. That is the essence of your college experience. Perhaps consider a minor in a life science, hard technology, or other field that has good employment prospects. Everythi

Serious question: can we define the top 5 parameters that distinguish human-generated non-fiction writing from AI "slop" writing (I don't like the term "slop" because it carries a built-in bias)? Since AI output is

Geez, growing up in the 60's and 70's I watched a lot of TV: Little Rascals, Three Stooges, Bugs Bunny--the good stuff. I guess without that time spent watching my brain now would be the size of a large watermelon.
