For whatever reason this keeps getting thrown around as though it's true, possibly because it's a bit scary to see a radically different system that is by some measurements surpassing our own. It's true some are empty, at lea

I don't share that faith, but I appreciate you sharing your experience. I imagine you've found your faith an overall very positive force in your life (like most people do with most faiths), no? One thing I'm curious about - w

It addresses it as such "Visual perceptual effects (assessed following resolution of acute drug effects) were reported by 22/50 (44%) psilocybin participants on the day of dosing and by 3/50 (6%) after the dosing day, all res

Great point, and the study even admits that point "Limitations: First, the success of allocation blinding was not assessed, and it is likely that the acute psychoactive effects of psilocybin produced some degree of functional unblindin

My take on these studies -- either read the whole study or don't take it as evidence of anything. If you aren't motivated enough to read 20-30 pages, then you probably shouldn't be willing to risk your health around it. For e

On the one hand it's easy to see this as a "screw the rich billionaires upsetting these poor locals" However, another part of me thinks that if a city was built from the ground up in a thoughtful way it could be so much bette

A friend of mine worked at meta and said they already had a fullscale set of systems to mass export data to governments based on certain indicators (eg keywords) in response to subpoenas. Perhaps that’s obvious, but the mechanism for proper

I think the genie is out of the bottle on all content (be it fictional writing, fake photos, interactive conversation) for all forms of stimulation (entertainment, artistic, propaganda, pornographic, etc). If not available to everyone readi

> And that you do agree, that scaling from 1 to 10 is not the same animal as scaling from 10 to 100? So why, then, call both animals "plain and simple scaling"? So you think we need 4 different words for scaling 1-10, 10-100, 1

I'm just quoting the wikipedia definiton of hyperscale. Nowhere in there does it say anything about 1000x, probably because that is an ill-defined concept. 1000x what? Today's computers are a 1000x the ones from the 90s, should we

Seems like a weird way to push yourself. Like what if it turns out you join a team that ranks you more based on politics/caste/luck than any sort of talent or motivation and you just feel trapped in a weird game?

Meh, I don't think terminology is the root of any of these problems.

Maybe they need well ventilated hospital rooms and disposable (e.g. paper towel) scrubs that are burnt after each use. Probably time to start questioning some of the fundamentals of our modern healthcare setup.

I am not sure why people keep pushing this narrative. It's not obviously false, but there doesn't seem to be much evidence of it. From where I sit Satya possibly messed up big. He clearly wanted Sam and the Open AI team to join mi

They should define it, sure. Here's what I'd expect this means: - Not limiting access to a universally profitable technology by making it only accessible to highest bidder (e.g. hire our virtual assistants for 30k a year). - Makin

Ask hr during the interview what unlimited translates to in practice. If they are concerned by the question asked politely then that’s a red flag to you. If they don’t give an answer just say “my prior employer was unlimited and 4 weeks a y

So to clarify, do you agree or disagree with the statement that if Hitler only made politically correct statements (including his book), that he wouldn't have been able to motivate the war? The most fundamental part of my position is t

I don't know if I agree with your take. I do agree that regulating language perfectly isn't sufficient means to eradicate all tribalism, but I bet it helps. Consider Hitler. Everybody puts sole blame on him for the Holocaust, and

Overall - fair enough, I'm sure it is a minor inconvenience to you that language and symbols can change out from under you. That said, don't expect much sympathy, feels like saying "The war out there is hurting my ears."

I just don't see any evidence for the idea that studios are intentionally placing message before financial success. I see bad movies and progressive movies as two unrelated categories that sometimes overlap, but just as often don'

Eh, I mean it's hard to say if there's any correlation between bad movies and progressive movies. Some of the best movies recently are progressive (everything everywhere all at once, barbie). Some recent shows from Disney are terr

What are you talking about? There are millions of "impenetrable locks" in our society -- things you can do that might give the government less than 100% control over you. You could put your money in crypto where it can never be se

That seems nuts to me. It's just a generic venue for people meeting people, like a cafe that happens to be online. To me that makes as much sense as suing a cafe because you met somebody there who talked you into illegal activities.
