Feels low to me too. I think the distinction between "violent" is completely irrelevant. I think taking money from people does just as much harm as physically injuring them -- many people would rather have several bones broken tha

wow, it looks like "dual process" theory is basically the same thing. I don't know if there's a better text on dual-process theory out there (perhaps by the original authors), but regardless of who originated it, I think

Yeah I wouldn't read too much into any single study. But what I would defend vigorously is System1 / System2 distinction as something so clear/fundamental that you can see it constantly once you understand it.

I'm not one to give an exaggerated eulogy nor rhapsodize about all those "Books with a white cover and a weird picture" -- but I will say I read thinking fast and slow for the first time last year, after decades of resisting,

This is a garbage article, wtf am I reading. Is it saying that irrespective of your current age, your birth year can predict an 8% variation in the mass of your brain (with no effect on skull size)? Or is it saying that older people have le

Well the article is about glassdoor, which is where you write reviews. You better believe that if databrokers will buy information on whether you updated linked in that they'd also buy information on whether you gave the company a 1 st

If anybody doesn't think this is a problem, I overheard managers talking about a 3rd-party tool that finds "at risk employees" which they didn't define but said it included signals such as "they updated their linked

I'd love to hear exactly what this security threat is. The only scenario I can envision is tracking a chinese national in America and trying to abduct them back to china, or perhaps blackmailing a US government official by proving thei

Could you share a source for that if we wanted to learn more?

Right. I saw a flash animation showing that in many ways we live in the most peaceful and stable period in history ( http://www.fallen.io/shadow-peace/1/ ). It was a shock to me because I felt like I had always been

Yeah I'll even go a step further. Sometimes I feel it's actively psychologically harmful for a nonstop treadmill of very remote prescribed drama to piped into every citizen's head (election/israel/ukraine/etc).

It looks like a "wide-event" is just a structured log, you can send any log containing json to sumo/splunk at it'll parse it out as fields for you. So as I'm understanding it you're advocating for structured lo

This person is simply misinformed. I worked at meta and used scuba, and it's like 6/10 (which makes it one of meta's best tools). A tool like splunk can do everything scuba can do and a million things it can't. Sumologic

Well it may be, if the work expectation at meta is say 40% higher than the other company (and likelihood of being laid off is 40% higher too).

It may turn out that it's cheaper and easier to just pull it out of the air than rebuild every single chemical reaction that produces CO2 (such as heating limestone in the creation of concrete).

Seems like a bit of a reductionistic bait/soundbite. Obviously the tech isn't there yet, but when we find a (fast) way turn CO2 back into gasoline that will both allow all existing technologies to go green and also give us a good

One interesting thing about this is that this what investors want you to make for them to invest in, not necessarily what you want to make. Investors are very happy with moonshots (1% chance of you succeeding, but 10,000x return if you do).

I feel like you're espousing advice for how you wish the world was rather than the world we actually live in, which I see as unuseful.

Maybe there's a math behind this. Maybe they enjoy talking about themselves, and don't like talking about you, so are happy to talk as long as its on their terms, but don't really have an interest in a balanced quid-pro-quo.

For some reason all of these types of books/posts/theories frustrate me. I feel like a lot of them are willfully ignorant feel-good advice. There are just so many more facets to this than they are acknowledging. Like in a real con

I feel like it's incredibly likely that we find an algorithm 100x as performant for less than 10 trillion dollars. I say that mostly because we built an algorithm playing around with math and plugging in different functions and it seem

I don't see it as something to be angry about. Probably what happened is it was trained on some crappy stock images where every "doctor" was a white model and they are trying to negate that propensity to repeat the stereotype
