Depends on how much you trust the GPs. I can see it being a win win - a little shock to the system helps the child build robustness + learn that change isn't bad. It takes a village!

That's not true, symbols emerge out of the statistics. Just look at the imagenet analysis that identified distinct concepts in different layers, or the experiments with ablation in LLMs. They may not be doing strict formal logic, but t

Hot dogs are 3x as calorie-dense as deli turkey? Are they really that fatty?

Beautiful! People's zero points can be at very different places on these scales, and it takes a lot of effort to shift them.

Primer follows the classic story structure pretty well, even though the literal timeline is jumbled up. The main characters start in a familiar place, are thrust into a new world, and learn about themselves as they are tested by circumstanc

I think Tom Hanks in Big is the ideal male body. He works out, but it's not the center of his personality.

Copilot has every incumbent advantage, so if Cursor is doing halfway decent in the market (which it is), it's winning by default

The elite described here lines up with Rao's Sociopath - someone who understands that, 9 times out of 10, social cohesion is more important than the truth, and is polished enough to represent and enforce it.

How does it require a critical mass? If the car ahead of you is sharing visibility and braking data, you can drive on their bumper and stop when they stop. If the car next to you is receiving route data, they can open a spot for you to get

It might be the only 1700 year old egg in the world. Surely the prudent thing to do is wait some fraction of its age (200 years?) and reevaluate. What are the chances that, out of all of history, now is the best time to open it?

Very eloquent description of the tyranny of competence. That's what makes great art sometimes, sharing an obvious truth that everyone overlooks. (Proof of work kinda - difficult to find but easy to prove)

You put the content first, they put angry reactionary politics first. Fighting fire with fire just fuels the flame.

"Make America Great Again" - the geopolitics are literally right there on the label!

Yeah this is arguably the tail wagging the dog - Trump is a reaction to the end of US hegemony, not the cause

It shows a shallow understanding of state of mind. Any reasonable person understands that you can't just tell people how to feel about you, you have to earn it through action.

He's saying that you can substitute any activity that combines danger, skill, and willpower for the mountain. It's literally not about the mountain, it's about how far you push yourself to reach a goal.

It kinda was the death of music - reasonably-skilled musicians used to make money performing live, and now they can't. The market got eaten up by recordings of really good artists, who, ironically, treat music more as industry than art

Booms and busts emerge naturally from market dynamics, even when everyone is acting fairly and reasonably. You don't need to add sneaky, greedy people pulling the strings from behind a curtain.

My beard isn't long enough to understand any of this. Is Sonic a reference to crass commercialism, the diminished attention span of young people, or the iteration speed of the platform?

The social plane is built upon the physical. What an out of touch, privileged, insulated attitude, having them the other way around.

I think you hit the nail on the head with the "normal things have 'ADHD' translations" bit. It reads the same as trans to me - a counterculture subculture where you get to feel good about things you feel bad about.

The point I'm trying to make is that "each word following the last" is a limitation of the medium, not the speaker. Language expects/requires words in order. Both people and LLMs produce that. If you want to get into the
