Because voluntary association isn't really allowed in the United States. You are forced to associate with people you don't want to, for a variety of reasons.

It's a distinct possibility. What's more likely is that this person is an example of someone robbed of their own agency, either intentionally or not. It leads to becoming dependent on others, a true Last Man in the original sense.

I'm not making a normative judgement here, it's just my observation as the child of immigrants myself. There are of course exceptions to the rule. I'm making an argument in the context of political economy, please don't

2-3 years max in a federal country club prison, minimum security. Then it's off to Switzerland or Dubai with his ill gotten gains. It is rather sad to see people having a personal stake in this. It's a big club, and you ain't

HN has been a kaleidoscope of the human psyche. idlewords dissing pg, Michael o' church's rants, Terry's slow break into insanity, etc. I'm thankful above all that this place still exists.

This is unsurprising. Maxis won't care, because in theory they don't care about the price. The only people complaining about this are those who bought at the top and made unsound financial decisions. If you couldn't tell the

The reason for this is that leverage is extremely expensive and punished in the current macro regime. OpenAI will lose money faster if they scale up. That's because the Fed can capitulate all it wants, but real interest rates and real

> TRT is no longer limited to men with clinical hypogonadism. Men’s health clinics that advertise on social media, TV, and radio will prescribe to anyone who contacts them (and pays cash for the prescription and gear). In some surveys of

By what mechanism? That's not how it works. LH and FSH are suppressed when you're on TRT, but they stabilize after cessation. The question is, why would someone with clinical hypogonadism cease TRT?

Expectations and reality will differ. Ultimately we will have soft eugenics. This is a good thing in the long run, especially with how crowded the global south is. Nature always finds a way, and it's telling you not to pass your geneti

At the end of the day it's about integrity. One of my relatives is an MtF transwoman now. Her wife was the first person she told about it, and they are still together, with a daughter. It was a little weird for me when I found out, but

On the contrary, it is the creation of synthetic life that reaffirms humanity and what it means to be human. Don't blame the mirror for what you see (or don't see).

by mise_en_place 11mo ago
The counterpoint is that we must formalize the rights of sentient synthetic beings. The Emergency Medical Hologram gained sentience and was horrified to find his next version was relegated to cleaning ships as a glorified janitor. Whereas h

Correct, oAI is short rates vol.

It doesn't freak me out and it's actually completely rational. If both OpenAI and AMZN expect real rates to keep rising while inflation spirals out of control, this deal makes a lot of sense for both of them. They're just dur

The average person in 2025 has been so thoroughly stripped of their humanity, that even a simulacrum of a human is enough.

For actual SERDES, JSON becomes very brittle. It's better to use something like protobuf or cap'n'proto for such cases.

Every Sun alum that I had the pleasure of working with was brilliant. Truly learned a lot from them, especially when pair programming. Must have been a special place to work at.

They're still around, they just happen to be on X/Telegram. Roughly speaking they're in two camps: Groypers and BAP-adjacent Yarvinites. I suppose both are "Nazi" in the sense they are anti-intellectual and anti-ega

Do you volunteer for such a massive undertaking? Sarcasm aside, I'm seeing a lot of wackiness on both sides of the political spectrum lately. The Constitution is fine and provides provisions for changing it via amendments. You guys are

I think he took issue with your framing that democracy is interpreted. Judges don't interpret "democracy", that would be silly. Judges interpret the law. I do agree with the general gist of the point you are making however. T

I'm more of a wordcel than a shape rotator myself. It's not that I can't, it's more so that I get terribly bored when doing it. The last time I can remember being excited about it was in elementary school, where I was te

The license change is a necessary evil, otherwise BigCo will continue EEE and extract value from the project without giving anything back. It's time to hit them where it hurts. The world will be a better place if Google collapsed tomor
