I meant it earnestly! If I misunderstood, I have one other guy in here who made the same mistake. Your original comment reads like you’re against the concept of considering unpleasant counterfactuals in general.

Maybe I misunderstand your comment. Do you run into the street instead of stopping to look both ways, in case of a hypothetical car?
legalizemoney··on Ask HN: Does it feel like AI progress is slowing down, or being hidden?
I wonder if there's something like the Doppler effect going on here. The field continues to advance at a constant rate, but it takes time for news to reach us, proportional to the distance between us and the frontier.

To a stationary observer, it would appear as if the time between developments is increasing, and that the field is slowing.

I hope I'm wrong to use this analogy, though. I'd like to continue thinking of myself as relatively informed about technology.

It's a coherent statement, I just don't understand how that might explain the conjecture that trans women far outnumber cis women on HN.

legalizemoney··on Ask HN: How to find the energy for side projects after day job?
Maybe I'm overthinking this, but do you think it's worth worrying about the timing of coffee/breakfast/exercise? Do you find you're more focused when fasted, or after you've had something to eat? I'd love to try this routine, but I really don't know what it feels like to be "stocked up on willpower" in the mornings.
