Second thing that's felt like a genuine, useful, innovation coming out of the last wave of AI hype. (The first being deep-fakes.)

Devil's advocate: Some argue (not necessarily me) that Google isn't necessarily purely optimizing for quality using that 20 year click-and-search log, that they're accepting some inefficiency by biasing for political (left-le

In what sense is geo-arbitrage associated to Tim Ferriss for you? Genuinely curious. I've listened to a lot of his podcasts but can't recall that ever really coming up.

What's wrong with internally putting an asterisk on their success and moving forward with your life, maintaining diluted self confidence?

Could you expand on that please?

Sounds like it's just a problem of identifying arbitrage opportunities then. I.e. the problem isn't actually that there isn't enough places to put money. The problem is identifying systemic biases in the investor landscape

But there's clearly a lot of people who still seek funding but can't find it, so how does that mesh with the idea that "there's too much money and not enough places to put it"?

This was likely posted because Michael Nielsen linked to it on his twitter, just for the historical record.

It's insane to me that Sapiens seems to make up the entirety of many engineers' humanitarian education. And not only that, that you're basically shamed if you haven't read it, but on the other hand seen as overambitious

Sometimes it's hard to disentangle if a conversation is having an upward trending trajectory, or if you just happen to pay attention more to the links that mention some subject you happened to have caught an interest in.

History is filled with re-discovery and explanation of things that were blindingly obvious to the generation that came before.

In that thread someone says that Tao created his own lecture notes for a linear algebra course he was doing[1]. But that page is marked as coming from "2002", which would make him 27. But surely Tao didn't first take linear a

Could you give a few hints on how to find the information though? I'd also love to hear more on the specifics of the incentives. I've been thinking recently about just building businesses on reducing information asymmetry. Feels l

Please please could someone recommend two or three books to get a more in-depth understanding of the history of mortgages, similar to what this (awesome!) video only briefly touched on.

Guys, just start reading fiction. It's like having a conversation with someone super smart and super relatable. You'll get hooked once you find something that fits your subconscious, but don't settle until you do. (I've

Ugh, I don't understand why people keep recommend the Pinker book about writing well. Pinker has the most formal god awful style I could imagine. There are so many better writers to learn from. Don't fall for mimetics guys.

Ok but how do you know which perspective/interpretation of things is the 'correct' one? Or are all correct and you just have to hold them all in your mind at the same time? (This is a question I'm struggling with for rea

Philosophical thinking has its own kind of structure which is very lovely but quite distinct from the rigorous logical way you learn by studying mathematics. I learned the latter in school and the former after. (The former is a lot about &#

Alan Edelman has done a lot of talks, so if I had to guess, he mentions it somewhere in one of those. But I have no actual clue.

Quality schmality. Many books I read do little more than just enumerate facts (e.g. history books, especially the dry ones). The reason I remember the facts I read in books and don't remember a lot of the random bits of knowledge I&#x2

Try only learning things with books for 4 months and then tell me it doesn't work. I tend to notice that learning from books get a lot harder if I allow my brain to be flooded with whatever chemicals are released when I watch youtube
