I would argue that individualism is the root, more than the work ethic. I’m someone with a 50th percentile work ethic but a 99th percentile focus on community. I only have so much energy, but I make sure I reserve a good portion of it (say,

Who are we to say the mechanisms of biology are “overfit”? Maybe it would be nice if our personal machinery was more robust, but that robustness comes at an evolutionary cost. The greater force that is life on earth as a system for regulati

I’ve heard exactly the same advice re: focus groups. A focus group can give excellent feedback but terrible advice. Probably applies to comment sections in the modern day too. So if they didn’t like your movie the movie probably is bad. But

“You can’t have good taste without bad taste” If everything you like is acclaimed/in vogue/politically correct then in my estimation you have no taste at all and you just wait for others to tell you what’s good

You say this as if the LLM isn’t committing things it doesn’t even recognize as bugs if you don’t babysit it. I’d rather have a codebase with a few very well marked evil zones, rather than a codebase no one has read. All code contains demon

I’m reminded of the Carl Rogers therapy app that was developed in the 80s. People would type in their problems and how they were feeling. The application had very very simple logic that would follow up with a set series of statements or que

Where did the above commenter say “genius?” Evil is boring because it is so usual. With the small power I’m given I choose not to recycle, I jaywalk, I say the “R” word in private conversation. If I were a line manager I would play favorite

Every time I got better at dancing I got better at juggling too. In my folk psychology, juggling is a partially-attached extension of your hands, so it’s just weird dancing. If you think of it like 3 jobs you have to do simultaneously every

It also assumes a myopic version of wealth. Rich people haaate when poor people do work for each other for free, because there is no opportunity to add a middleman.

That’s a dour outlook. I don’t cook to be the best at it, I cook to feed my friends. I don’t sing to be the best at it, I do it so I can have fun at karaoke. I don’t boulder to climb mountains, I do it because it makes me feel healthy. I do

If you’re picking apart sentences looking for signs of AI then you’re already rotted. Address how it makes you feel and the argument being made. Determining if something’s AI generated just gives us another reason not to engage. Like solvin

It’s called fiction for a reason. Glad you’ve risen above that nonsense! I personally hate that it implies there are faster ways to travel than light speed. We know this to be a hard limit in the physics of our universe and it rubs me the w

Yes and no. Even though the use of USD as reserve has been falling globally over time, there are a lot of news articles showing up on this site lately about divestment in USD. So on the surface level this is politics in the sense that it ma

As a dancer it’s funny to me that programming and dancing both seem to be better with a disco soundtrack. Or house, or funk. Anything with a strong backbeat.

I’m an adamant single-screen alt-tabber. I hardly ever even have two windows open side-by-side. I’ve always felt that I can alt-tab 2-3 times per second and that it’s faster to not move my eyes. Why look at docs next to code when I can only

This app sparked a kind of existential change for me, also during the pandemic. I realized taking these long walks around Seattle that I didn’t know almost any of the plants. The “ah ha” moment was that I realized at any point almost 50% of
