I had the “fortune” to experience what happens to a budding physical relationship when your nose suddenly stops working, thanks to covid. What happened was that a previously powerful physical chemistry would fizzle a few minutes into the ac

Many sex workers know that half their job is sympathetic and selfless companionship. When someone takes a hint from irl and merges sex and companionship into one ai bot, today’s screen-addicted kids will look just fine in comparison.

I’m sure it will, in much the same way opiates relieve the suffering of those with chronic pain.

I used to say just this. And I did native Android dev for many years, but I gave it up around 2019. When I finally checked out, native Android was a teetering mess of compatibility libraries, half-baked never-finished “new ways of doing thi

I grew up in NYC, when big parts of it were still affordable. That was a time when people migrated there without assuming an impoverished lifestyle and locals didn’t get priced out. It breaks my heart that we now accept that big cities are

A large number of people living for many years with sharply reduced physical and mental capacity, retaining theoretical "autonomy", and mostly cared for by the medical-care-industrial-complex as opposed to family and community - a

I support UBI but it’s not in the cards any time soon, fine. Then, we should aim for one overarching economic policy target: most people should be able to land a job that would enable them to generously house, feed and equip one adult and s

Me too. Just don’t do what I did: up your speed and distance in response to the magnitude of your stress, as opposed to what your body’s ready for. Then you can add “not running” and “healing an injury” to your list of stressors.

That’s probably the best Black Mirror episode of them all. Absolutely haunting, and I’m shocked that it’s suddenly also relevant. What a world.

I could have written this word for word. Maybe we should do a cranky-HNers-of-Berlin meetup. Some uneasy food for thought: we're not that far off from the brave lucky weirdos who moved to NYC in the 1970s and bought decrepit flats for

When I moved to Berlin 15 years ago, this was not the case. Many bars and cafes were staffed by German-speaking people in their 30s - underpaid artistic or intellectual types or professional partiers making an extra buck. This had a particu

I think this is the “uncanny”. Cormac McCarthy is a writer I’ve always appreciated for revealing this terror under the thin veneer of civilization.

Fascinating. I experienced something very similar as a kid, with huge grey spheres in a black void. They felt implacable, indifferent, yet malicious. And I had a sense of futility and utter insufficiency. I also experienced these feelings l

Russia has become totalitarian, not just authoritarian. That’s an important distinction, totalitarian societies have much less capacity for independent action.

The way your question is phrased implies that you think that sufferers of complex and poorly understood diseases should be assumed guilty (of fraud or insanity) until proven innocent. If that is what you're trying to say, then I would

I grant all of your points. But I think there would be some very clear upsides as well, assuming that longevity is available to more than just a few billionaires. Years spent observing a field or topic with a well-trained eye is incredibly
