I have a nearly identical take, and every time I try to explain to someone that there are much simpler and higher impact changes they could make to their life, they can't seem to comprehend it. It's always met with something that

If Huberman mentioned it in a podcast, it must be true and groundbreaking way to hack your brain to a better life! I can't wait to stare at this thing !!!!

This is a really interesting use case for me. I've been envisioning a specially trained LLM that can give useful advice or insights that your average PCP might gloss over or not have the time to investigate. Did you do anything special

"Doesn't matter as much as people think" Doesn't matter for WHAT? You start out talking about energy density, and then cite some numbers regarding efficiency. What does one have to do with the other? You've done not

This isn't an argument about control, it's about safety. Control is completely irrelevant to the absolute probability of dying when taking one form of transportation vs another. You may be 100% in control of a scenario where you a

I don't understand this. This is a GitHub repository of someone's largely unverified opinions? Since when is talking about static typing considered hype? Saying static typing is "hype" is like saying "adding a handl

I can imagine working with this guy is a total joy. First he starts writing some bespoke Python package that he wants to force the entire team to use. He describes it as something "that __makes__ users naturally write code that adheres

Why would anyone go up to an electrician and say that? Paying them money, at the very least, conveys "I don't want to learn how to do this or spend time doing this." What point are you trying to make exactly? Paying someone f

He is describing a person I would immediately avoid at all costs. This strategy only works on either people you will only see once, or people who are so kind that they will never get fed up with doing your tasks for you. It's incredibl

You realize this data is often available for purchase or eventually publicly leaked, right? You don't have to be "smart enough" to do the hacking to benefit from it.

Maybe if your business model includes putting things in an inconvenient format that could best be replaced by a bulleted list, you should rethink your business model.

Sometimes, you really are just holding it wrong. Should the OP have written a manuscript to make you feel better? In your mind, should a long, drawn out article only be refuted by something of similar length?

If you found a bike tire this amazing, I can't wait for you to discover _anything even slightly more complicated than an inflated tube inside a rubber/cloth shell_. This reads like someone just came back from outer space and was s

How does a low effort post like this make to the front page of HN? You have been programming for 15 years in Ruby, and you are confused about how to learn a another language? Here's your answer: start programming a project that interes

You poor soul. Moved to such a terrible nation full of those awful people you described and now you seem to be completely powerless to leave. And I'm 100% sure this is everyone elses fault. At what point do you look inward for someone

This makes a lot of assumptions about how far into the wilderness they were, time of day, accessibility of the roads, cell phone signal, and so on. To just hand wave and call it "common sense" is silly without the rest of the cont
