Seems like a no brainer for hetero/homozygous APOE4 folks.

Consolidation != memorization.

Memorising some examples is a prerequisite to deep understanding. Anki and pen+ paper reasoning are complementary.

I remember the Saturn V being caught by chopsticks in mid air too.

Starship is fantastic value for money compared to Artemis!

Some of the talent at Cursor is second to none. E.g Less Wright, Sasha Rush, Stuart Sul.

Google paid 2.5B to bring Noam back into the fold in 2024 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The guy who uncovered this, Sholto David, is basically just awesome?

Watch him cycle from Wales -> China in 90 days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdgHZPfivVA

This isn't his first fraud rodeo either. For his discovery of serious fraud by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in 2024, he received $2.6 million.

Be more like Sholto, exercise your free will!

Anyone have recommendations on books that can rival the first part of Accelerando in number of prescient ideas about how the near future, pre singularity might look?

My own list is:

  Starmaker by Olaf Stapledon
  Counting Heads by David Marusek
  Nexus by Ramez Naam
  Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge

But I'm always on the look out for more! The more predictive the better!

Why ruin good work by letting Claude write it all? Full of em dashes, riddled with Claudisms.

Unreadable Claude slop

This was mostly down to enormous pressure from his father, causing him to have a breakdown in his early twenties.

Not to say the results weren't incredible, but certainly required sacrifice.

Completely false: https://x.com/i/status/2019213765506670738

Listen to the statement.

The operators help when the Waymo is in a "difficult situation".

Car drives itself 99% of the time, long tail of issues not yet fixed have a human intervene.

Everyone is making out like it's an RC car, completely false.

How many of these are due to going outside the normal envelope of what birds do?
