At the risk of caricature, it seems like there are two camps: 1. WFH is amazing and just as good for productivity and back-to-office is just a flex by evil managers. 2. WFH is bad for global productivity and so we need back-to-office. Seems

Yes. The fact that literally no one does this makes me continue to wonder wtf people are actually doing w/ LLMs, since I feel this need so acutely and the solution is so obvious.

These are good points. The devil is in the details for how to implement stuff like this, and there are a host of other tradeoffs, e.g., seemingly optimal regimens that people despise and that are de-motivating are, in practice, far worse t

Seconded (or thirded) -- a way to navigate tree conversations is desperately needed. Perhaps something like what Gingko [1] does. [1] https://gingkowriter.com/

Looks interesting. I'd be interested in hearing how it shaped your thinking, or what parts of your thinking.

Where can I go or what can I read written by credible people (not autodidacts and conspiracy theorists from the internet) that makes the case against anthro-caused climate change, and puts the arguments in context with the pro-ACCC people?

What was the purpose of using the rotary engine in the first place, for ICE cars? From the comments it seems it's maybe lighter for a given power output. Is that it, other than just the novelty of it?

That sounds awesome and very creative. Do you have a link to an old class site, or a syllabus, or anything that would give a flavor?

I'm all for not kicking people while they're down. But if you build your brand in part on throwing haymakers every which way, people are going to have bad feelings about you that will come out in passing discussion, as here.

I understand your point, but my take is that when we talk about AI and its impact, we're talking about the entire system: the model, and what is buildable with the model. To me, the gains available from doing innovative stuff w/

These are great points. I wonder sometimes at how much my whole line of reasoning should matter at all. In other words: if it as you describe (and I agree with your representation of the issue) then KS can be as dickish as he wants, he&#x2

1000 upvotes for you. My brain can't compute why someone hasn't made this, along with embeddings-based search that doesn't suck.

Is there something that approximates org-mode outlining? I don't need all the other stuff org-mode does, but just the simple outliner functionality combined with all the other Emacs stuff is my golden handcuffs.

These arguments are exhausting. Do you understand how neurons work under the hood? And yet, hook billions of them together in interesting ways, and look what happens.

It starts earlier than the 60s. Mises wrote it about it in the 40s [1] but his criticisms are all bound up w/ the rest of the package that comes w/ the Austrian school. I lack the expertise to say anything about it, sadly. [1]

Curious -- people love those Little Schemer books. I've read SICP back in the day and loved that. I'd be interested in more of your impressions about LS/SS, if you care to share.

MindMac is the first example I've seen where the UI for working w/ LLMs is not complete and utter horseshit and starts to support workflows that are sensible. I will buy this with so much enthusiasm if it holds up. Argh, this has

This is interesting and inspiring! However, if you don't know anything about music, would it be fun to play around with it, or tedious? Trying to allocate my down-the-rabbit-hole cycles a bit...

No joy with the one you linked (can't see what problem that one is actually solving), but I'll look through browser extensions -- I hadn't considered that.

That would be one very obvious way and a big improvement over the current state of affairs.

This is kind of the wrong place for this, but given the burst of attention from LLM-loving people: is there any open source chat scaffolding that actually provides a good UI for organizing chat streams and doing stuff with them? A trivial e

Having made the attempt at Being and Time in English, I find the assertion unironically plausible, even likely.

This is the most staggering kind of serendipity to discover that such a thing exists. Thank you :)
