Yeah I hear ya. I think it’s generally a lot of notions. The general zeitgeist and a bunch of other of Heidegger’s ideas and those he influenced. I do think there are real distinctions though. You see it profoundly in literature. Modernist

You pretty much delineated the “modernism” era and the era we are currently stuck in, “post modernism”. From the construction of the Eiffel Tower to WW2, you get rough markers indicating that era. A great book regarding art in particular is

Possibly. I took it as he was so caught up in his own things that he was mismanaging everything else he needed to be paying attention to at a critical moment. Arrogance. The classic Nero playing his fiddle while Rome burned.

A lot of that is turned into engineered wood like OSB, LVL, etc.

Using math I’d say probably western liberal culture is more likely to survive. Amish culture requires western liberal culture since they can’t defend themselves. If western liberal culture has a successor there’s a lower probability that th

Possibly. We need to be careful of selection bias when comparing old construction to new. There was a lot of crap built long ago that wasn’t detailed, etc and it’s gone by now. This happens with houses a lot. And I’m a person that lives old

The Amish, sure. But no serious culture has abandon technology.

Why would we continue to create the same thing? We had access to steel and glass in a way we never did before. He’ll you couldn't create a decent larger sheet of glass until the 1940s. Nails cost more than wood when blacksmiths made th

Materials from the postwar period are completely different. Within a decade we had 100 years of tech develop. Also - compare a building from the 19th cent. To earlier 20th. Those same building you say are intricate are not nearly as much as

The old techniques didn’t fall out because building stopped. New materials and tools are why. The techniques used for some intricate carving were sure to be lost when electric tools and computer aided machine tech came into existence. The a

Suggesting even more it has little to nothing to do with man made climate change. There was a multi-sigma gain in ice shortly before after decades of steady but slow growth. Certainly man made climate change would have impacted that. A sing

Data isn’t denialism. I literally posted factual observatory data. Here’s a better chart: https://www.climate.gov/media/15124 Certainly recent correction but an upwards trend since 1979 (when satellite data started) an

It’s a duplicate story. And this one raised to #1. So yeah I’m going to post this interesting information again. Nothing in response to it challenged it well. I did change the last sentence to clarify the data a bit.

Antarctic sea ice extent had been rising from 1979 (when satellite data started) to 2015. It regressed for a few years and then expanded again in 2020 and 2021 and then regressed again. There's a lot of causes of this and there are stu

They have a suite of software you can use to power your own software. These are tools and no different than what database vendors, etc in terms of being software you use to build software. In addition there’s support and services. I imagine

There was a huge burst recently and then a crash. It’s a regression to the mean.

You're making a huge leap there. We do know that cancer is a sickness and we actually do know your chances of survival 6 months out, 1 year out, 5 years out, etc. We don't know the day you will die from it but we are certain you w

Indeed, lots of tooling out there. Which makes sense as it's very early days. I imagine that LLM AI will be integrated into so many things down the road though that it will be an expected feature of most any product.

They are selling picks and shovels. There will be a few huge winners in the AI space, a good amount of modest winners, and a lot of losers. They don't care who wins or loses but are happy to sell the supplies needed for anyone that wan

It’s the problem with righteous stances. They don’t actually consider the consequences of their demands. As if it hadn’t been considered by many before and they are the first people to see the light. Not only will the homes become dilapidat

It’s so weird how much we rent in courts to make up laws based on their opinions of laws and precedence. It’s fine in a lunch but it’s really an indication congress needs to make laws. And courts determine if they are constitutional. This h

Well, there’s lots of land making land ownership very attainable. During the 1930s and 1940s very little was built. And what was built was seldomly maintained. So after the war there were a lot of people living in old, outdated, cramped, an

Yes, that's exactly right. A town needs to be designed in a way that encourages walking. Shops to walk to, trains for commuting, a certain density, etc. Walking create so many opportunities to see people regularly without planning and

by nemo44x 3y ago
I'm not sure race or affluence has anything to do with it so much as how the place you're living is designed. There needs to be a reason for people to walk - like going to some shops, the train, nice parks, etc. When you have that

No that’s not ought - it’s how it is. It’s reality. Not how reality ought to be. It’s not dystopian to say you need practical skills that are useful. Once you’ve established that then go learn whatever you want.

It’s sort of ironic though since the Times is “news” where as GPT is built on historic texts. Of course that gap will tighten until we have near real-time models. But that’s not the reality today.
