Depending on one private company for space travel is bad too. It's important the US always have space launch capability for national security reasons. Even if it's really inefficient and bad.

I find having the camera on distracting and/or stressful to me in a way that I don't find in person interactions. I'm not sure why. Always on camera just seems stressful and I hate the idea. I don't have any data or even

I guess we're reading that differently. Eliminating 80% of programmers does mean that on paper "output per worker per hour" has increased, but it doesn't necessarily follow that you can deliver faster i.e. the output&#x2

Average person spends 3-5 hours in front of a screen, so this task taking less than 3 hours is reasonable to do. Something about that rubs me the wrong way. Doesn't it matter that the task is menial and doesn't seem all that effec

I totally agree with you, I was just correcting their phrasing, which didn't really make sense as a statement at all.

As with anything, professional licensure can make things better or worse. What tends to happen with professional licensing is that barriers to entry are erected, reducing the supply of labour and artificially increasing the price of labour

My experience in the UK was as follows: (1) In the final two years of secondary school (16/17 to 18) you choose a set of 3 or 4 subjects to study for A levels. This is usually done with a specific course at university in mind. For exam

The UK and US have very different systems. In the UK, all students have already specialised into A levels (only studying four subjects) before applying to university. In the US, I think it works differently: some students may have done so

You've never remembered any dreams, never one bit? I find that interesting. I occasionally remember dreams. Once, for a few months, I kept a dream diary and started to remember more and more of my dreams. From a few flashes to pages

What? So many people are using AI to solve real problems right now. GitHub Copilot is a good example. It may just be a glorified autocomplete, but it's really good and sometimes predicts 20 line functions exactly as I'd have writt

Especially considering people from the 1950s are alive today. Some of them (e.g. my parents) understand technology just fine. If they had experienced the transition suddenly instead of gradually, I still think they'd be fine relatively

You said OpenAI is eating FAANG's lunch, which is only technically true because Microsoft isn't in that acronym. OpenAI is part of the battle between big tech companies.

I think people just kind of don't expect you to have a card reader and be willing to take payment right there if it seems like you're just explaining your startup idea. They're just being nice to you. It's all really dum
