Thank you. The best thing I've read this year, easily. However, halfway the post instead of going all metaphysical and try to create a garden, isn't the logical conclusion that individual gains in the rat race trump any grand plan

Thank you. I admit I was reading this thread a bit nonplussed.

"libraries wouldn’t exist if they were to be proposed today" This is so sad. I spend so much time growing up in libraries. Been locked up there accidentally more than once.

Thanks, I've read it, don't remember the lathe in it. Awesome book. So much better than shogun or any of his other works from his "trader series". I recommend King Rat to people who need to get back in to reading books.

I'm only part into the story, but I already love it. The prisoners-of-war were tired hiding their lathe every time they might be searched, that they hung up a sign "workshop" above one of their huts, and timed it so that the

On one hand I totally agree with the Luddite. On the other hand, why do we need Google for recipes. Everyone eats multiple times per day. You only need to host text, really. How come the world hasn't come together to create this. How c

"Loosening the constraints always makes a problem easier to solve." Due to job deformation, I cannot agree. Tight constraints make for easy solving. However, loose constraints allow more change. And ultimately, change is what peo

This is a book ad. Also, all the tips are: if you don't have a nose for adventure, plan ahead.

I used team viewer in the past, for trouble shooting. I had it all setup so I could join in one click. But then they updated team viewer and everyone need accounts etc, so the solution became part of the problem and I ditched it. Nowadays,

Pearl is my favorite too. I didn't understand the rules described, so I started with figuring out the rules by checking move viability. It still has the strangest ruleset in my opinion: "Black dots go in corners that are attached

Ironically this is what people said when they were focusing on cleaning the ocean: "they should focus on rivers, that's how most trash gets into the ocean".

It's risk times consequences. The risk assessment might not be up to scientific standards, but the consequences are big. Also, it's not just about statistics, in this case we have a pretty intuitive grasp on the mechanics at play,

Doesn't this study have a giant selection bias? Recruited people from a cannabis forum? What type of cannabis user actively posts on a forum dedicated to cannabis?

The abstract of that article concludes: "The results suggested that 7 hours/day of sleep duration should be recommended to prevent premature death among adults."

Timbre is what makes the violin sound different from the bassoon, what makes the strings in general gives them their sound, and brass theirs. Timbre is what makes a singers voice unique. Classical composers had a set of fixed timbres to pla

On second thought, of course there is plenty of trauma you can give a two yr old, my brain happily didn't go there during my earlier reply. I meant by actions of a parent with good intentions.

It's because up until the very last word the sentence can be passed very differently: "How many bathrooms have Neanderthals in the average household?"

pretty sure that getting born trumps any trauma you can give a 2 yr old.

Blizzard wanted "Warcraft in Space". Designers came up with gameplay, which would be hard to implement in the existing warcraft engine. Engineering told the designers; we can do everything you want, but then we need extra time to

A nice watch. Luxury fabric. Quality objects: cutlery, handles on your doors and cars, your pots and pans. These make the entirety feel cheap or expensive.

Oh wow, that worked pretty well: https://suno.com/song/a82f064a-54e3-4317-b331-f0993726d702 The melody of the instrumental pre-chorus is repeated consistently, and it's even used as the hook in the chorus; the pre

Sorry I'm not in your domain at all, but shouldn't that be a library function? Properties of polygons seem pretty universal to me. Will AI replace carefully curated libraries with repeated boilerplate? Thus reducing reusabilty of

These songs don't have any hooks. Melodies don't get repeated. They all just meander along. I think as they get better at making these great middle of the road songs, edgy music will reemerge. Whatever AI will be good at, will imm
