Yeah, I see this helpless, "leave it to the experts" attitude in a few places, and absolutely hate it.

Incredible! And like he said, AI has big potential to decode or interop.

Wish I had friends who talked mild shit like this! All my friends are nerds who take everything seriously. On the project, did you do anything about the time dimension? ChatGPT is strictly input -> output, but something like this needs t

The $ is distributed sovereignty - there's a constant tension between value per dollar, and money as denoting hierarchy. Did Louis XIV provide value equivalent to all those diamonds? And AI is delivering on a lot of different planes ri

Tooth and Tail really did it for me. The granularity of eco vs army, and the targeting micro, added up to a perfect mini-RTS imo.

#2 is the truest statement ever stated. Other examples of the form are "people say things about themselves that are really about you", or "things about someone else that are really about themselves". Indirection (and pro

This is why I try not to think anything, for any reason, to anyone, for any reason at all, ever.

You'll have to pry left- and right- brain specialization out of my cold, dead hands, irregardless of the evidence. Reading Mcgilchrist next to the san diego face statue was a formative experience.

Ridiculous! If this is useful, people will be using it for years. Making it work is 20%, the other 80% is keeping it alive.

I am (and esp have been) pretty lonely, and this is it, there's no sanity tests for thoughts. In good situations, other people provide a grounding, stabilizing influence. Without them, the mind has to do this by itself, leading to some

Really fantastic article, love it. If revolutionary stuff wasn't coming by every other week, this would deserve a lot of attention. Very clearly stated, doesn't overreach, amazing work. Don't mean to overcomplicate the main p

I believe that flooding rice fields has a substantial positive impact on yields, and not just by combating weeds. Controlled flooding creates the perfect moisture + nutrient environment.

I like how much media ends up being about itself being made, if you squint hard enough. It has to be one of the most robust meta-feedback loops, because the "vision" for the scene is apparent to everyone in real life.

What do you want, credit for your wisdom? That's not so special, lots of people predict the future. For example, I smelled cinnamon buns in the air last week, then yesterday, bought some cinnamon buns. How'als that for foresight?

(As a non-cheater), cheating is an honest signal to some extent. Someone who sets up a second setup, disables their mic, has an accomplice, etc, is going above and beyond to get to the goal. It's the lazy cheating that's really di

So true. Thinking about my city, it's gross how much space is used up by parking. Half the street space, plus lots for every store + destination. Self-driving cars will fix this, no? A combo of taxis, automatic parking garages, and jus

Gotta look at which way the cookie crumbles or the beam shears - how stress is distributed in a system. If you take for granted that there is a large amount of emotional strain floating around, where are the outlets? Men bottle it up and re

Most esports is marketing by the game developer, produced at a loss to retain player interest and sell the dream. Having pros to watch makes the game more fun and feel legitimate. There's a reason casters hype player skill non-stop. Ex

Yeah, those concepts agree with each other, so there's still some value to the simplification once you know the complex explanation. This is more of a sabotage mission, where the examples are meant to convince of their own inadequacy (

I don't like this explanation. It's putting him in a box that doesn't fit. Wittgenstein tested the boundaries of logic, and certainly didn't cheerlead for it. His thoughts on group classification are the most crisp refut

Closest to koans, but more practical, less of a blind leap. The intermediate work is required to reach the goal, but not useful once there. Like releasing a sex tape to get famous.

Read the intro and first page. The introduction + acknowledgements are pitch perfect. There's nothing technically wrong with the writing, but the pacing is crap. No setting the scene, no ambiguity. It reads more like a screenplay than
