richardanaya··on Indifference is a power (2015)
Happiness only comes from the achievement of values. The greatest bamboozlement of stoicism is teaching people to be indifferent to achieving their values. It lobotomizes upside gains in a world that's full of opportunity to a mind of reason.

Isn't it limited because TSMC is just so good at their job? I thought I read places that their error rates are lowest in the industry.

As someone who has read most of her non-fiction. I thoroughly disagree.

When you understand the immorality of taxes, there’s nothing immoral about getting your money back from a government that took it while repudiating the taxes.

Your understanding of objectivism is deeply flawed if you think the philosophy sees no possible value in the trade between two people. Radical independence in objectivism as a virtue is independence of judgment, not some caricature you present of being an irrational loner.

What's hard for you to understand about the word "voluntary?"
richardanaya··on The necessity of Nussbaum
America was founded on respecting individual pursuit of life and protection of property. It's also not a democracy, it's a republic.

> Every claim to property over any parcel of land is fundamentally a coercive taking in that it tries to forbid everyone else,

Something can't be "taken" if it's not owned.

Property rights systems exist because people use property to achieve their life's values, and having billions of people argue over how to use land is not enactable (I hope that's obvious).

People's lives are not served by telling billions of people who want to use a plot of land to "fight it out", and thus governments have reasonably enacted systems that gives gives people both physical and intellectual property based off their. efforts.

This isn't to be said that property systems can't be improved, our intellectual rights property system obvious has many ways it could be improved (and it changes as we discover new knowledge). The end goal of these political policies though is to create social systems that allow individuals to maximally pursue their life.

Property systems goals are NOT to give everyone a certain quality of life.

Take a look at even the most communist/anarchist society you can imagine (the kind with people who hate those who own property), and you will see systems of an authority being grasped for that help coordinate use of material means in order to avoid violence. Reality cannot be escaped.

I do appreciate property and property rights (which I fund to be defended by my taxes). They are my only material means (aside from my bare hands) for achieving my values for myself and people I love.

If you have "collective efforts" you want funded or built, you're free to ask people voluntarily to put their lives, children, families etc. on hold for whatever cause you think is important that I don't see that you have insight into.

There's nothing stopping you.

> taken as an endorsement of it.

definitely

> if you have a moral claim over someone else

This is exactly what I think the danger of bad philosophy leads to, people confusedly believing they have a claim to control people just for existing. The right to pursue life do not require an automatic claim to control the life of others merely for existing. The "right" to a certain quality of life does, however imply a belief that it must be provided by some means.

I'm wrong that Nussbaum wants people to involuntarily serve the needs of others?

richardanaya··on LuckyShot: a Rust CLI that uses BM25 and RAG for smarter code context retrieval
Hey all, I thought i'd share my weekend experiment! Selecting the right files to put into AIs seems to be an increasingly interesting problem. Thought some folks would enjoy seeing a CLI simple enough to kind of understand one way to do it.

richardanaya··on Cardio fitness is a strong, consistent predictor of morbidity and mortality
There's famous studies about people testing VO2 max with one leg trained exercises,then looking at VO2 max with non-trained leg.

richardanaya··on Cardio fitness is a strong, consistent predictor of morbidity and mortality
Non-intense aerobic exercise exercises a narrower metabolic aspect of your cells than intense anaerobic exercise. You have to be be very careful what you consider is beneficial "cardio".
richardanaya··on Cardio fitness is a strong, consistent predictor of morbidity and mortality
VO2 max is also exercise dependent. If you trained riding bike for 3 months, then went to run down the street, your VO2 max would not transfer over.
