The moralizing is from people using shame as a strategy to affect public policy and/or gain power, I don’t think it’s much deeper than that. Shame can be very effective as most people are hard wired to respond to shame. The issue is th

What convinces you violence is the only possible solution? You’ve ruled out technological solutions?

This. I don’t believe the environmentalists actually care about the environment. They love the power it gives them. It’s why they are against technological solutions that will make the problem go away. My litmus test is nuclear. If an envir

The intuition is that low information investment returns are compensation for putting capital at risk. The capital must be at risk to collect the risk premium. You’re an insurance provider as much as an investor. When you are timing the mar

Lego inspires kids to be engineers and that can contribute to solving environmental problems.

The insight that we are all Marl at some point is really important. People who think they are never Mark are the most vulnerable.

Back then children were viewed as a source of cheap labor that could contribute to the household. Developed countries have changed their expectations as you have noted. You can't produce a farm hand that can contribute cheap labor dire

Using headcount seems like the wrong thing to measure. But, it seems like maybe there’s a method to the madness? If you reward growing the pie then you avoid nastier politics like Wall Street firms might have. It’s a luxury that big tech ha

bitcoin and crypto have long since parted ways, they are different things now. even from a regulatory perspective bitcoin is the only one that has clarity being defined as a commodity and not a security, everything else is in a grey area

I met an incredible texture artist in a game modding community years back, when a typical texture size was 256x256 or maybe 512x522, he did everything in mspaint and it was beautiful.

It’s technical rent seeking and premature abstraction.

Totally agree with this. I was tasked with getting some insights from hiring data once and everyone was disappointed we just couldn’t get anything meaningful. There were echos of something. But no signal could rise above the noise into the

The internet has been creaking under the load of hyper scale SEO content. Content that makes you ask how anyone could let this happen. It’s embarrassing. The internet has had a horrible experience for years now. ChatGPT arrived to finally s

Acting will become remote work soon the way voice acting is. This’ll be a big deal for small creators and create a lot of acting opportunities.

As long as someone seeing only my AI headshot can still recognize me for a first time coffee meeting, then the photo passes the reality test for me.

The brilliant take will come from a lab that rips the model open, pokes the weights and figures out what is actually going on.

Not even experts in the domain could see themselves being replaced and pivot in time. What hope does an ordinary person have in preparing for what’s coming? Telling people to retrain will not be an acceptable answer because no one can predi

This is the biggest thing holding gpt back. Everyone with meaningful data has their hands tied behind their back. So many ideas and the answer is “we can’t put that data in gpt” very frustrating.

Be careful with this line of thinking. This reads like overcorrection. Like when a nerd realizes they need to learn to network and become obsessed with all aspects of socialization. You can damage your technical excellence through neglect

Sounds like clean code used to mean things that were measurable.

This happens because software engineering doesn’t yet know the difference between principles and morals.

I wish software engineering cared a lot more that we have no way of measuring how clean code is. Much less any study that measures the tradeoffs of clean code and other concerns, like a real engineering discipline.

It won’t be long until a non trivial part of the economy revolves around people filtering or producing data for the models with known provenance. The idea of being able to train on the raw internet will be a quaint idea.

Yes, it really is the time more than the money. When you realize how much time was spent trying to decide if it’s worth paying an extra $200 for a feature… ouch

As a millennial that developed a shopping obsession for a few months last year, it made me miserable. Every time I bought something I’d be thinking about what I needed to buy next to solve the (very minor) problems the new thing created. En
