Per project or per time is one question, and yes - it depends on many things. My point is that, from my experience, "per day" is strictly better than "per hour". In principle, you can say "just build it into your ho

Personally, I think "charge by hour" is not a good piece of advice. If you are a low-tier freelancer, there may be no other way to go, and you must accept that. For most things, mid-tier to high-tier, from my experience, it works

I am dead aware of the connotations. Though, I expect people on HN to focus more on definitions than connotations; the latter is a very approximate tool to grasp ideas, and only the simplest ones). So, I don't use the word eugenics on

A false dichotomy. It is like saying that if I one is in favor of medicine, they are in favor of the human vivisection and lobotomy. We can (and often - need to be) selective. I don’t argue for every kind if eugenics. Yes, a lot of it were

There is an alt-med based on a connection with nature, herbs, rituals, and spirituality. Most people here will be skeptical about these - both rightfully and excessively. At the same time, when there is a science- or tech-based promise of a

It is his interpretation presented as if it were an objective truth. As far as I read the essay, Jo Freeman advocates both equality and transparency. In particular, she makes strong points that equality is impossible without transparency.

Yes, forgetting gives space to focus on new ideas. But the author paints it as if the fear of losing information was irrational. It isn't. Exactly with the same arguments, the author could persuade us that: - HDD is unnecessary - just

On the contrary, I like it. This style immediately made me move from "looking for the most important pieces of advice" (if I had to right now, I would go for GPT4 anyway) to reading it for its aesthetic value.

Fighting against environmental destruction (including global warming) is longtermism. We need to pay some price now, but IMHO, it is worth it. The opposite is myopia - like setting a house on fire in the winter, so it will keep us warm. Wha

You look at the problem from principles, while I look for the outcomes. When to the third point - well, it is up to the author, and I respect that (regardless if I would do the same thing). People have the right to not share it at all, or s

I understand the sentiment, but I think it is misguided and therefore - counterproductive. First, LLMs learn patterns, not just copy and paste. If they generate verbatim copies of any non-trivial-enough part that would be the subject of a c

It reminds me a science from the Matrix, when a guard asks "Would you please remove any metallic items you are carrying: keys, loose change..." just instead of weapons - shrooms.

Why would anyone answer 12? Unless... most human thinking is this lower-end language model, which looks at word patterns without giving much thought to them. "12" is not intuition. It is repetition.

All quantum fields have their vacuum energy fluctuations. When we change the parameters of the space (e.g. stretch or compress it), the current state is no longer the ground state but becomes a so-called squeezed vacuum state. This effect
