You can still sell your house or car. The first potentially for more money. The restaurants and broadway shows are gone. I’m all for spending on experiences btw. But you have it backwards financially.

Freedom to speak without being overheard. Should all hard drives be monitored by the government because of what they could contain. Also accusing someone of supporting CP in any way for supporting free speech is just a terrible, and really

I think its a cool exploration between art and engineering, with the end effect looking lifelike and emergent. It reminds me of the game of life. But yeah the peanut gallery with 30k in hn karma probably have something snarky to say about i

I find these types of articles (and perhaps especially in the obsidian/2nd brain space) a bit funny. It reads almost like they are trying to convince themselves how great their "new" workflow is. Which ofc they will completel

That's a great point I'd never considered as a guitarist myself who uses both tabs and sheet music. I think it also explains why in my last 2 years of playing flamenco I never found tabs, the rhythm is almost as hard to play by ea

I think it’s funny you frame this as an information density problem. The vast majority of people consuming YouTube need moving pictures to keep their attention engaged and sadly enough a voice to offer the illusion of social contact.

A mentor sounds great, but part of growing up is - realising no one really has it all figured out, there are generally no "perfect" answers to how to tackle life - realising you don't need permission, a masters degree is nice

Meh, these snarky rebuttals basically add up to, 'Other businesses already exist, and you're small, so good luck.' It's true, but that could be used against any new idea or action in business

Well I mean technically almost anything "could" happen. But a guy promoting his book, and a lazy journalist at the Guardian mixing in some images from the zombie tv show "the last of us" does not an article make.

thanks for being honest, do you use apps for that, or just more immersive in such a big screen?

Reasonable assumption would be from now moving forward. Last release was gpt-4o. But there is little to engage with in your comment, I'd be most curious to explore on what u believe it's capacities might be, and societal impact.

I predict - a steady increment of GPT-n+1 every 6 months for marketing purposes. - each will improve on the last by smaller and smaller margins. - hallucinations won't be fixed anytime soon. - We will hit a bit of a winter, as the hype

given your long experience with psychedelics and profession, I am curious. Do you feel a "hero's" dose is necessary, or do you see benefit in micro dosing psychedelics. Or any dose in between for that matter.

Microsoft famously sold the xbox at a loss to gain marketshare. At the time there were plenty of articles about that, and indirectly "what a bargain" the xbox therefore really is. This is thinly veiled advertising, with a hint of

Look at wired.com gleefully sharing his identity. I don’t know the cartoonist, and he is likely a real piece of ** who should be thrown off the platform. But doxxing is opening the door to actual violence.
