If we can get on the same page about relevant priors + the purpose of life, productive disagreements should be easy, right?

Also a recurring motif with Nick Cammarata from even before the LLM wave.

Love him and hope he's right! But still.

I always find it weird when people declare things “are” rights, as rights are things societies create. “Should be a right” seems like a more appropriate framing

I crave an industrial megaproject to solve this. Specifically: A pipeline from the ocean. But alas, only China has a social structure capable of getting projects of this scale done anymore. So I guess I'll keep tracking the AQI and keeping my kids indoors when it's bad.

I'd love to see statistics as well.

My wife self-reports as very happy and talks a lot about how proud she is of the decision. I'll acknowledge that we are privileged in terms of support -- 3 relative families within 30 minutes and most people in a 100 meter radius attend the same church. Even in our setup, however, we really wish we could swing a multi-generational setup and have grandparents around all the time.

Maybe the Amish are on to something!

Something freeing to me that my wife said:

"If you get rid of clutter, there will be cases where you'll have gotten rid of something useful at that moment. It's not about avoiding that -- it's about accepting the right tradeoff between cleanliness and functionality."

The lack of broad benchmark reports in this makes me curious: Has OpenAI reverted to benchmaxxing? Looking forward to hearing opinions once we all try both of these out

You could have to your chat give them direction
