Huh, this was an absolutely fascinating read. Kind of feel like the Vatican nailed it with this one lol. Did not have that statement on my 2026 bingo card. Wise words and perspective.

Hahahaha, ohh man. Love it... Hrm, this seems to be slop. Claude, gonna leave my phone in the pew, listen and give me a summary when it's over, I'll be in the car.

laptops are to cognitive capabilities as syringes are to heroin overdoses. It's just one of the many delivery mechanisms for brainrot in the 21st century.

Welp, would have been a more useful post if he provided some context as to why he feels contempt for Karpathy rather than a post that is likely to come across as the parent interpreted.

Beautiful man, love it. Enjoy :) Yeah, I have a pet theory that I give about a 0.01% chance of coming to fruition... Next couple decades, AI, etc is going to force humanity to confront it's sense of self and priorities and wake up. A m

It definitely surprised me just how lazy humans are on average. The amount of effort people are willing to exert on sign ups, etc... The drop off with each additional field blew my mind.

I assume your circle is mostly tech people? Outside that bubble, it's pretty obvious. People just want easy, don't understand security in many cases, it's the simplest path. Even absent the above. Imagine a signup flow. I can

This is the way. Like good meals, but I don't really understand the allure of owning a bunch of things. The ego, when left to it's own devices, is a hell of a drug.

There's a difference in intention between ex-pat and immigrant. Ex-pat's tend to think of themselves as being wherever they are temporarily, but intending to return to their home country. Immigrants desire is to make wherever they

It's not like the newly built homes are typically the most affordable. It causes a ripple effect as those that can afford it upgrade their housing. https://research.upjohn.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1314...

Na, your argument makes sense. Loving this discussion. Ok, so I don't agree that it implies language cannot expand. I believe it's a bit more nuanced than that, I believe what he's trying to say is that it cannot expand suffi

This is fascinating... I am curious, are any concerns with the algorithm being raised? Or are people blindly accepting their ranking?

hot or not is back. I think the algorithm is janky based on the list. But, history has shown that people love to see how they rank up. Historically, these sort of sites allowed users to rank each other. Given yours is algorithm based, it&#x

Agreed, we can and will always come up with new words that attempt to approximate the experience, but, imo, they will always come up short. The abstracting inevitably leaves fidelity on the floor. It's necessary based on the way we

Thank you! Likewise. Appreciate you being patient with me. As I get older I've lost the desire to be correct. More interested in understanding other's POV. I'd argue with you anytime lelanthran.

How can you know that we have language to describe everything in the finest detail? That suggests that we are omnipotent. There's lots out there we don't know. And it seems to me that the further afield we go from the known, the m

I think about this often. I've really come to appreciate over the past year the ways language can limit and warp our perception of reality. I think we under appreciate preverbal thought, as it seems to me that verbal thought by it'

Thanks brother. I flew half way around the world yesterday and am jetlagged as fuck from a 12 hour time change. I'm sorry, my brain apparently shut off, but I follow now. Was out to lunch.

I don't see a flaw, I think you're just gatekeeping software creation. Anyone can pick up some CAD software and design a house if they so desire. Is the town going to let you build it without a certified engineer/architect si
