1. Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Remarkable book that gave me a coherent framework to think about life. The title simply does not do it enough justice, it's not just about the "flow" state, it's about his mental frame

You know, the older I get, the more the world seems upside down to me and I'm not even that fucking old.

That doesn't say anything about how ignorant you are. Read my comment again.

The top talent part is largely Untrue. That goes to USA. Canada mostly gets a lot of students and the universities they go to for the most part don't have a great reputation. I mean, it's not Canada's fault or lack of trying.

This is the usual American lack of any historical knowledge concerning their own actions on display. US took Pakistan's side first, we only made the Indo-Soviet friendship deal in 71 because we had no other choice, or just accept being

Natural allies really. But it's not all good though, there's been a hard and strangely growing anti-western sentiment for a while now. It's big enough to become a problem in the near future. Also, western governments pay very

Is this a serious comment? You've bombed and killed several terrorists without any trial?

For someone so uninformed about the geopolitical history of India, you speak far too confidently. This is a common tendency for many Americans, read 10 uni-dimensional articles in your favorite newspaper on some topic, do not bother to read

Felt the same reading this post. These people are unable to see the bigger picture of what their work has been used to do to the world.

Did you really have to say "some engineer in India"? What exactly are you trying to imply there?

AI Safety is real and very important... AI Safety financed and practiced by corps looking to make money off of AI is mostly bullshit. I think it's important to make a distinction between the two.

Very good point. Especially true when there's no corrective pressure from the market to do something about the accumulation of the prestige-money employees. Search revenue gives them a nearly infinite rope to keep accumulating the &#x2

It has no way of judging the quality of it's own answer, I see this trait as it's biggest hurdle to most practical uses.

Unfortunately know a couple of guys who have an eerily similar bio, it's is such a big red flag imo.

I know kids can be brutally insensitive sometimes, but this is extreme behavior even for a child no?

My 2c, I call Java a phalanx language. Spears seems unsexy and rather limited compared to swords at an individual level, even a skilled soldier fighting with a long spear would probably lose 1v1 with a soldier who primarily fights with a sw

I call bullshit, every McD always served chicken in the southern and western India. I know a few people who work on the corporate side of things. You can find beef too in many parts of southern India, but it will most likely to be buffalo m

I'm guessing the journalist made the wrong simplifying assumption. A lot of people from the brahmin caste don't eat meat, so maybe the anecdote is about a brahmin and not-a-brahmin interaction. There's plenty of people who&#x

Marginal benefit of manual memory management for the extra effort to write rust code is not worth it for a lot of use cases. Who wants to think about lifetimes and not business logic when writing a web service. Vast majority of programmers

Things were already pretty screwed up atleast a decade ago when I was there for a short while, this was around the time Google+ was being "dogfooded", so it wasn't even quarter the size it is now. I was only an intern but the

Don't forget Slang and how it's so superior to every other scripting language ever.
