Yeah, people say that, but Tractatus clearly contains those ideas, though he talks about them mostly in the high-level, abstract, general form. "2.12: The picture is a model of reality", "3: The logical picture of the facts i

Interesting way to put it: "Gödel for transcendentals" - probably only able to put it that way with the benefit of time. The relationship between the Russell/Gödel camp and Wittgenstein is complicated - In some ways at odds (

My rule of thumb summary of Wittgenstein: If you can spend an entire book on the meaning of a concept (IE Truth-with-a-capital-T, The meaning of life) then you may be confusing an artifact of grammar and language with something that exists

I think it’s about being the dominant player or not, as a long time employee of a very very well known and large company once complained to me “We care about the user experience, but only when we’re not doing well”. Gitlab will continue to

On the video - "almost hitting" is a VERY misleading way to phrase it, I see worse driving on a daily basis from human beings. However, I'm glad for the high visibility and scrutiny because we should hold FSD to a higher stan

I was going to reply but exactly this - I'll add that the proof work in the article is really interesting and I love to see practical work in formal proofs happening as a result of eth in particular. However 100% proven code on eth I j

The formal proof stuff is very cool, but I'm getting some unsinkable titanic vibes from how they present this.

This is like how people conflate psychosomatic effects as somehow ‘fake’, which they certainly aren’t. Your brain controls a lot and can cause a lot of very real not fake damage.

One of my favorite examples is Elliott Smiths From a Basement on the Hill. It undoubtfully has Rob Schnapf's signature on it, but you can tell he tried to keep the incompleteness in the work - you get a sense that Elliott Smith was in

I'm surprised this article made it this high up on hacker news - it seems really superficial and behind on latest research, I'm always skeptical when everything is blamed on dopamine withdrawal - isn't gut bacteria meant to p

Wait.... These are only EXTERIOR cameras? What a click baity title - he seems to imply that you need to "hide stuffed toys" or check the light bulbs for cameras, but sounds like there were no cameras inside. So what's the pro

This hit me so hard - and I appreciate the honesty in this chapter. Life is choices, and I certainly wouldn't have made the choice he made, but I'm glad he doesn't gloss over the impact of the choices he made. Very well writt

There was a group of expats in Shanghai who were commonly riding classic motorcycles, often with gorgeous restored sidecars - never looked into it but I assumed they were probably cheap, given the cosmopolitan history of the city and the cu

The same is true for any VC blog, it’s marketing - to both investors and founders. But you can be both biased and insightful! I found this essay very inspirational, we truly are living during exceptional times If you don’t take into account

I'm reading more than ever - I just never got into ebooks - in fact I think the internet and long form blog posts (from pre-Twitter days, not the Medium-led long form revival) kicked me off on reading books proper. Nothing better than

The Bund is like that but not all of Shanghai is so garish. French district for example - though I agree the city Shanghai feels most like is NYC (just not all copies of Times Square). There's very little overarching design in the new

One of my major issues with Stallman is his tendency to see things in black and white, and it's ironic he's now being sorted into the "bad person" bucket. In truth, he's said some stupid things, some of the worst of

If you're a foreigner it's much harder to get sponsored by a smaller company. I know a bunch of people are essentially "locked in" to FAANG until they get their green card and are chomping at the bit to work on more exci

As an art form, video games may have been a victim of their own success. It took film 50 years to develop its own language and style (first film recorded in 1888, first successful long form narrative in film 1915, citizen Kane, arguably the
