Lightning Bolt is like my hyperfocus button.

I can point to several false accusations I suffered as an elementary school student that made me deeply skeptical and wary of authority. "Even if I color in the lines, or intentionally dabble in creative thinking, some adult might yell

Very cool. Thanks for the response. I may be reaching but maybe genius is a combination of curiosity, processing speed, mental RAM and focus. Maybe each of those can be improved in regular people...

That does make sense. I think the reality is somewhere in the middle. I personally plan on hiring professional tutors for my children when I have them. Hopefully they're born with a lot of moldable clay, but either way, there are addit

I'm not sure why people feel so allergic to the idea of a genetic intelligence boost. Our genes encode the layout of physical race tracks on which marbles of matter and information travel. Some people's bodies have a bunch of musc

If I asked the people close to you what you do/think differently than others, what would they say?

I've struggled to visually conceptualize this sort of occurrence. This helps a lot. Thank you! Now, to torture the metaphor, how do I flip on the rest of my switches...

Brains run on heuristics and shortcuts. A group of brains will develop shared signals to aid in that energy-conservation. They will then refine their signalling, ie contextual, implicit, misleading, covert, etc. Some signals are loud and dr

If I wasn't so busy yak shaving this Observable time-tracking notebook I'm building I would have written exactly what you wrote.

I agree! I think management processes need more open experimentation, though. Documenting and creating decision trees makes those decisions more transparent overall. It also aids in transfer learning, something which, from first hand experi

Actions was my first experience with YAML and it made me want to bark at my monitor. No, I'm not a dog.

Awesome thanks for the tip! I'll check that out. The scattered API docs took some wrangling. I screencapped my work on this and that's what I spent the most time on.

Management is made of leaky abstractions. I think of course that humans should still be the accountable party, but AI can guide baser decisions so that more time can be spent on the hard problems. Imagine how many thousands of hours manager

More money. More impressive title. Wanting to relocate. Downsizing. Learn new tech stacks/skills not available at your current job. Scoping out a new industry to prepare for launching a business.

AI-aided management decisions can't come soon enough. Decision Model and Notation made big headway on this, but I don't see it discussed. They're fancy decision trees but can handle complex factors and are designed to be intu

The height was messed up on this, so it got downvoted. It should be ok now lol

I didn't assert whether sentiment was changing or not, just sharing the pattern in case someone reading hadn't thought of it. Sentiment is easy enough to check. I'm not doing crypto homework though.

My mistake for the lack of clarity. That's what I mean to imply.

Sentiment in online chatter correlates with price movement. It becomes a feedback loop. Maybe the criticism is finally overwhelming people's risk functions.

I made a clone in Observable in almost exactly 2 hours. Feel free to fork it and play around! You'll need to spin up a CORS proxy if you fork it, but it's otherwise straightforward from there. Feel free to leave comments here or o

A year ago I made a Chrome extension that took the top 10k links on HN and randomly sent the user there upon pressing the UI button. It was heavily influenced by the original StumbleUpon. I got stuck because of CORS issues with iframes, as

Easily the most straightforward recommendation possible. Thank you. HN outrage at Kafkaesque account lock-outs makes me imagine bureaucrats complaining about an approval requirement they themselves created. It is frustrating and I know data

Great breakdown. I think your view, whether it is exclusively a load-shedding/"I'm the man now", is definitely an incentive for this to go down. Regarding your reflection on the way you communicated your ideas on this: I

Wow. It sounds like you're better and hope you're better! That's an incredible story. Good on you for not giving up. You just lit a fire under my butt.

The harder you make it to engage a behavior, the more likely it is to become extinguished or reduce. These are nusges. It's basically how you influence people incrementally toward a desired outcome. I too, am bothered by some of the hi

In the general sense of media and art consumption, I'm not sure where I stand. Some people refuse to listen to R. Kelly's music. Do his actions as a human change the quality of his output? It's not as if anything can be judge

Yeah! It's crazy when everything becomes totally still. For me it felt like I was in a bubble being swallowed by outer space. It was really hard to calm myself down and trust that I wouldn't drown.

I think some people can actually achieve continual improvement if they can master reflective/deliberate practice. I've been wracking my brain trying to think of what the discrete components of my coding are. Do I judge my function
