I liked this quote: "The Turk remains emblematic of the only real ghost in the machine: human agency." Most, if not all of us, are offended by direct or indirect manipulation. So it stands to reason, that our agency is the greates

An intriguing idea is what if we don't need to directly solve general artificial intelligence, but instead use standard AI to design and create biological life that is generally intelligent for some domain.

Regarding inflation, I think what you're saying might be completely right if we're living in a 100% capacity/productive/efficient economy. But often times there is un-employment or under-employment, so printing money in

I'm reading a book, Money from Nothing, and I'm curious if anyone can point out if this is a flaw in my understanding: Taxes are not really a means of a federal government raising funds to pay for things, since they can after all

This is wonderful. There's just something evocative about fish--with their flat side portrait look, and wide open eyes that make them a perpetually interesting subject for art.

I'm so curious what the navigation department for a place like NASA/JPL consists of. Each probe/satellites mission is so custom, do they have a software suite that they've refined over the last 50 years, is it a couple p

A couple years ago during a period of existential levity, I thought to myself: what's the most ambitious thing I could do with my life? The idea of creating a city for some reason popped into my head. Perhaps it was born out of my frus

I wanted to only comment that I admire the bravery of the author being so open about such personal fears like this. Many times it's safer to not open up because there maybe little to gain and potentially a lot to lose.

Cool to see this space get some more activity. Wasn't this the general idea of Color Labs [1] way back like 10 years ago? It was a neat social experiment that suffered from over-hype and geographical limitations of networking effects.

I'm totally ignorant in this area, what would you recommend for general use speakers for a living room that can be sync'd to an iPhone or TV for <=$2k? Thank you.

Doesn't this break the terms of service for most ISPs? I remember during the last crypto-craze, there were attempts to monetize this resharing with tokens of some sort and the ISP's put an end to that real quick with legal threats

I'm curious if any AI/vision researchers without a dog in the fight can share their thoughts if Tesla has any chance of a pure vision system where every other company I'm aware of is decking out their cars with LIDAR? My pers

Do a lot of companies sit on their S-1's until the market swings up? Like how quickly is the turnaround on an S1 filing and actual listing to take advantage of short term market moves?

That's a valid strategy, akin to geo-politicial arbitrage. But with trends as they are arbitrages don't last forever.

I wish humanity didn't need a military but saying the world's largest military doesn't give anything back is a bit misleading. Some would argue the world's largest military enable the post WW2 order and with it the free

Twenty years ago I interned in a small robotics company, and one of scientists there was a Phd from Berkeley. He had done his thesis on dynamic controls for autonomous vehicles. I was asking him a bunch of questions, and at the end he just

I can't put my finger on its validity, but it all resonates the same to me: - Listening to billionaires arguing with each other about what society should be for the benefit of all since this recession started & - Trillions and bill

Thanks for the interesting reference. The drive to reduce uncertainty could certainly be a hypothesis in explaining animal curiosity and its persistence through natural selection for a population. I guess I'm more intrigued by the indi
