As a speaker of Romanian, loving the name

Financial advice? :D

Not a particularly new thing in history, but the underclass have a certain habit of rising up and guillotining the ultra rich

I guess they're not irrational in their aspirations! Would you want to have to hide from angry crowds with torches and pitchforks?

My logic is that once it's cheap enough to provide for the needs of the many, it's a sensible investment.

Ah, great to read I made the cut! :D

I have to disagree that post-labor necessarily means post-capital. Production requires multiple other scarce inputs, which is why I also make the explicit assumption in the post of significantly accelerated scientific progress that will also reduce the cost of energy, externalities, etc

The website is great!

Many of my friends have gone through IVF and still I was surprised by some weird parts of the story.

For example: "I was stabbed with 932 needles" and when you tap you find out "because I wanted to improve my odds, I went to 31 acupuncture appointments, where 687 needles pierced my underbelly, legs and head".

It is clearly established that acupuncture is placebo, but beyond whether this placebo might actually improve the odds (highly disputed), it is an elective alternative procedure with unclear benefit, not part of a standard IVF journey.

I understand the story is a very personal one, but it would be good to remember it isn't necessarily representative of most people's experience.

How good are the top frontier LLMs at finding bugs? I ran a small experiment to find out — and yes, the results surprised me!

No single model is perfect. The combination of these 3 gets close.

But... how?
