Personally yes I think Gwern is the best, but Scott influenced me more earlier on.

What a missed opportunity, shoulda deleted them all!

Intriguingly, while google.com isn't working for me, google.ca is.

Interestingly, while google.com isn't working for me, google.ca did return results. I wonder what's up!

All of that is pretty fucking impressive? Why do you feel like the appropriate comparison point is lifelong dedicated yogis rather than normals

Much of Hitchens' critique of Mother Theresa is cherrypicked and distorted: https://www.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/gcxpr5/saint_mo...

Bankruptcy is substantially better than death so yeah this seems like a win?

I feel like it'd be out of character / off-brand for Musk to care about the ADL

Deadlines / other people waiting on me.

Changing settings (can be as small as switching from couch to table).

If it's something boring, putting on YouTube at the same time so my whole "attention space" is filled despite the tediousness of the task.

I was up until I got pregnant! (Intermittent fasting pairs extraordinarily poorly with morning sickness. And then once that wears off you're ravenous all the time.)

> weekend comes and it becomes 10X harder, especially if others are eating around me. And then a sunny day comes and you "have" go have some barbecue and beer, an hamburguer at night, etc.

It's okay to take days off! Especially if that makes the diet/lifestyle more sustainable for you overall.

There are infinite people telling you to do any given dumb thing. Most of us manage alright regardless.

People still fall for Nigerian prince scams, it just isn't novel anymore.

Not having kids also produces this dynamic. A childless person is less likely to have strong connections amongst the still-vigorous once they're very old.

Great comment. You're a good son. One small note:

> the most frustrating thing is how many of these people we delete that just keep re-adding themselves. Facebook really should not re-suggest a friend if you delete them.

Try blocking them? That might prevent re-recommendation.

Most likely it's a feedback loop that goes both ways. Generally healthy —> activity is easier and more pleasurable —> exercise makes you healthier —> being healthy makes exercise more viscerally rewarding, and so on.

Go to church anyway. You don't have to believe to attend services.

What a heartwarming success story :) Username checks out!

If it goes through, they'll just use Instagram Stories and Reels instead. Possibly also Snapchat.

Descriptive =/= prescriptive.

Who says it has to be someone else's voice?

Similar to Google Docs but with GPT4 (previously 3 and 3.5) built in.

I'm a writer (copy, social, all-purpose) at a startup. I've been using GPT4 via Lex.page to generate crappy first drafts which I then improve and expand. It can speed up the process quite a bit, but needs handholding and someone to add in personality.

You can fire someone who is pregnant, just not because they're pregnant.

> In person work, though a logistical headache and social annoyance, drives team cohesion.

This is probably true, but the thing is, I don't care. Team cohesion is not worth commuting. So any company that wants people who feel the same as I do to work for them is going to have to bite the bullet on the tradeoff.

It's a pure hypothetical because the people who do reproduce under conditions of modernity will become the future population.

I like https://hckrnews.com/ as an alternative front page

Not due to lack of practical capacity but lack of the political will to commit large-scale massacre. (Not saying we should have.)

The ranking is the point of the initialism. Black and indigenous people were already included in the blanket term "people of color," so why introduce BIPOC if not to highlight those groups specifically?

May or may not be true in general, but there's an obvious selection effect on who your pharmacist friend is exposed to.
