Mistake or not, life is all about leverage. And the balance of power has swung back from employee to employer now that we're done with the covid bubble. Managers must tame their unruly cattle and punish them for their past transgressio

To all the ANCAPs that thought they could stick it to the man using crypto. This guy is your best proof that its never going to be easy, never touch the systems ability to tax you otherwise you get the rod. You can steal a few billion like

Without a doubt, most people I know in this business optimize for networking and communication. The actual coding is done by eastern europeans and indians. Technical knowledge is more commodifiable than relations.

This response is totally unrelated to my post however it does bring up a good point. There is this narrative where we are all victims of the elites and everything bad is because of the elites and so on and so forth. This is just a means to

Maybe, but demand can trivially be bounded through violence. Which will happen as we get further into the collapse

Its not even about the elites, its about human nature and incentives. And nobody is going to take my hamburger out of my hand just because some people in a third world country are starting to suffer from climate change. This mindset is gene

In my opinion the only solution is a drastic drop in number of human beings. Thankfully we wont have to do much since nature will do it for us when the droughts begin and the crops start failing. Its fun to think of how we will science ours

To be honest I've seen more than one man fall down the onlyfans rabbit hole. There's a lot of lonely men out there that are being taken advantage of and if AI can help them stop getting emotionally swindled then all the more power

Yup there has been junk science in the past due to bad incentives. Thats why its a very good idea to double down on these counterproductive incentives and also push everyone with a pulse into university so that he does cargo cult science ba

Also quite hilarious that your example exemplifies my point that a scientific discipline like computer science has its peak when its still in the domain of a few elite contributors. Which for computer science was at its very start, compare

You might need to take another humanities major before understanding why I put the good old days in quotes, dont forget to publish a few papers on it to get that citation count up though!

Yes yes, more people means more progress which means line goes up which means we will all live in a utopia or something like that. That's why everyone is trying to escape their country and conduct a huge trek to reach countries like uh

I am by no means a china fanboy but there is a replication crisis across all countries and all disciplines, one example here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39098780 This is a generalized problem because back in the &

So they started a war for a city they already controlled prior to the war? Thats very interesting

If this is the reason, why didnt they invade Finland before it got into NATO?

I still dont understand why Russia started all of this, why drag Europe into another world war scenario for a few villages? They could have played as kingmaker in the china/USA fight and become as rich as Norway if they had decent lead

Who knows maybe they even lobbied for the result, its a big problem in nutrition science and how the "science" seems more like one fad after the other depending on which lobby sends more money

Yeah its very true, the incentives are screwed. I think you're touching on the key difference here. Someone like Euler would have had to been forced not to do math, it was his passion. But you have all these "scientists" goin

Yeah the quantity and complexity of what you need to know now is daunting. But even so I dont think Einstein for example had to know the entirety of physics and math in order to produce a groundbreaking revolution in physics.

I wonder what percentage of academic work is based on cargo culting and practices like these. There are more "scientists" than ever and yet we dont really have a quantitative increase of people that are as productive as Euler, Ein

Alright I guess I really have to make that child now in order to satisfy my ego and show that I am actually capable of difficult things! That will help surely

If your children have helped you then continue making them, I dont mind

I have satisfied all the desires that you speak of, hobbies, travelling and so on. But in the end only an absence of desire actually helped me, realizing the arbitrary nature of my goals and desires and how they all only provide momentary s

You might imply that I am unhappy because I say theres nothing worth it. However unhappiness only exists if you want something to be worth it and are disappointed by its nonexistence, you can be at peace with meaninglessness as long as you

Of course there are many ways. But as a consequence of this it doesnt matter how you play your game, I have won mine. If by example you think winning your game requires X children then do it. But the feeling that you need X children is as s

To be honest I live in one of the most pampered eras doing the cushiest job from home. But even so I dont understand how people motivate themselves to make children, especially if they have a 1-2 hour commute and are forced by debt to take
