Agree in theory, my read on that particular situation is that the human was shading arrogant/taunting, and the male was a bit jealous verging towards pissed. My dog has played a few times with a rescue mutt (bit of rottie in there?) wh

Writing code is "easier" than most other things, especially driving, because you get unlimited do-overs (up to practical limits). If the code doesn't compile, tweak it and try again. If the car doesn't stop for a pedestr

I'm 100% on board with the first paragraph. There has to be some mid- or late- century philosopher who described the phenomenon, how pop music creates a dependency or need out of thin air, and then half-fills it. Like how junk food is

I can't see anything wrong w this far-sighted analysis. After WW2 was fantastic for growth - a lot of competitive male pressure was gone to war deaths, society had been "hardened" by the comparative difficulty, and no infrast

The authenticity cycle, as I understand it, goes: - honest signal (good-looking profile pics!) - the signal starts becoming cheaper to create (AI filters) - users of the signal look for subtler signs of authenticity (technical cues like blu

It turns into a "noob trap", where people (at first) see a bunch of perfect profiles and get discouraged, only finding the cracks in the facade if they stick around.

Not affiliated, but I would bet on the opposite being the case, that this device (if it works) would teach you a pattern of sleep that persists after ceasing use. In the same way brain kindling works for seizures, my guess is sleep is a lea

The woman's face is much less flattering in the original, would say the touchup from getty was pretty dang good.

Haven't seen it, but I absolutely love colin farrell in everything. In Bruges, 7 Psychopaths, The Other Guys (?) He has that hangdog, depressed and confused thing going on that's so charming.

Where does the risk / exposure to interest rates come from in this example? Intuitively the loan already exists, this would just be a bridge.

Huh, had no idea that existed. Looks a lot like this project. But no, that's not it at all. The sentiment analysis buried at the bottom there is generic. It's advertised for aggregate customer mood bc that's the only thing it

Had this idea about 5 years ago, seems like it might be viable now, would love to see a video analyzer that creates relationship graphs using sentiment analysis. Ex. who responds to whom, what their tone is, how often. Hopefully with modern

My guess is it would conserve entropy/processing on Earth to match the increased cost. But there's a difference between "screaming into the void", like broadcasting radio waves, that presumably have 0 effects, and other

The idea is that the universe "cheats" by replacing a computationally expensive process (a tree falling, breaking into pieces, being eaten by insects, moss growing) with a series of cheaper, "good-enough" replacements, b

You kidding me? They're arguing for a long term trend reversing, and use an example contemporaneous with the trend beginning! There's literally no better source to use. The trend tracks with my experience. I (with influence from

Huh, sounds a little like how Overwatch unfolded! Strong start, a lot of enthusiasm, now everybody's pretty much over it and the competitive scene is dying (?)

Love this, couldn't be happier. Hear so much about potential risks. Take our jobs blah blah end of life on earth blah skynet etc.. What about the singularity and/or giving birth to a new form of life?

On-chain data is better than NFTs for the same reason why its bad for regular BTC users - there's a cost to create it.

Was coming to say something like this. Gets to some fun conclusions - ex. paleontologists invent dinosaurs by looking for them. Another angle on it would be showing that the universe has multiple possible levels of detail - that objects beh

1000 foot view: East is old culture + institutions, west is new. Think new york + boston vs LA and SF. The east coast was settled long before cities on the west. In broad strokes, men look to make something new / upend the existing ord
