I don't get this productivity hacking mindset. You're suffering some sort of burnout, and you want to try some hack to be _more_ productive? Looking at a wall so I can crank out _more_ work? No, screw that. If I'm ever feelin

Only up to a certain point, no? I remember it was something around 100k USD, maybe 10ish years ago. This is pretty intuitive. Its nice not to have to worry about money, but what is the difference between having 1M NW and 100M? If you'r

Good article with a weird title. Why assume wealth and happiness are correlated?

I was looking into split ergos a while ago but was bummed by the audiophile-ness of the userbase when doing research. I don't have time or interest to learn new layouts or keymaps or whatever. Any suggestions of simple split mechanical

This is great news. It's bizarre that it is buried and not on the front page. If it were not about China, I bet it would be.

>Outside the happy path Uh, no. The happy path is the easy part with little to no thinking required. Edge cases and error handling is where we have to think hardest and learn the most.

Now imagine if all those billions in taxes had been used to build real transit infrastructure instead of subsidizing Tesla.

I kind of think of that as just increasing the standard deviation. Its been a while since I experimented with this, but I remember trying a temp of 1 and the output was gibberish, like base64 gibberish. So something like 0.5 doesn't ne

They're between not caring and welcoming that outcome. A 50% reduction in non-billionaire population is highly desirable for effective altruists.

Preach. That's always been the case though, AI just makes it slightly worse.

The black plague's capital-concentration aftermath supposedly fueled the renaissance and the city-state ascensions, and ultimately the great land discoveries of the 14th and 15th centuries. Not sure if there's an analogy to make s

Then why isn't it? Just offload it to the clankers and go enjoy a margarita at the beach or something.

Truly bizarre. Thanks for sharing. As a general rule I always do these talks with camera on; more reason to start doing it now if you're not. But I'm sure even that will eventually (sooner rather than later) be spoofed by AI as we

Great scifi material right there: in the future people will pray not for miracles but for a miraculous `rm -rf /` from their overlords.

Yes but there are a lot more "idiom personalities" in humans (you just mentioned several) than there is in AI. Basically every English-language interaction with AI anywhere in the world produces more or less the same argot and sty

You're absolutely right! I have a friend that has used ems all his professional life and is livid that they're now a telltale for AI. So yeah, false positives.

Fun read but I stopped after detecting AI: "The young blood doesn’t add youth. It removes age." "Feeding isn’t nutrition. It’s dialysis." Etc. Why is LLM so enamored with the "Its not x, its Y" idiom? Its so ri
