This is extremely well done design (at least on full desktop browsers). Amazing content as well.

Enterprise subs not allowed to use Fable if they have setup zero data retention :(

Amazon remains totally complacent of these issues which are now professionally hacked by China based providers day in and out. Tons of vitamins are now fake and downright harmful. A lot of books, even small scale ones, are also fake and very low quality.

I tried to move my purchases to Walmart and surprisingly, even after 25 years, they haven’t got act together. Walmart even haven’t recognized that they should jump on this problem by prominently showing authentic brand logo or something.

I also tried to move all my books purchasing to B&N and again, surprisingly, they haven’t learned any real lesson in past 25 years. Their website is clunky, they charge $7 delivery fee, they can’t even deliver to my nearest their own shop for free!

Amazon is definitely riding on this utterly deficient competitors and that’s why they get to be so complacent.

This is great article but it is ruined because author chose to use substack. I don't know why people keep following herd and endup publishing on substack. If you already don't know, Substack has disallowed ChatGPT to crawl anything so you cannot take AI assistance to work on the content. They got this content for free but they want to gatekeep it for profiting from it. Additionally, substack is intentionally horrible at letting allow nicely formatted pdf or readable versions downloaded to lock out the content even further. No one in their right mind should be using substack.

Folks, really, using GitHub pages with static website generator is all you need. Your content will be nice and truly freely accessible to everyone.

At different points he has claimed (1) current models are not intelligent at all and can never be intelligent like us, (2) also we need to ban current models because they will outsmart us and take over the world.

Depending on how he can get interview or get seat at the table, he may chose exact opposite of positions.

The doge.gov website is just amazing. You can browse through the entire org chart of a typical government, average age of employees, avg salary in that department and so on. I hope they upload this data on GitHub and open sources for the future keeping. I am becoming fairly certain that all these will be removed when ruling party changes. Doge guys truly rock for doing this.

And now, keep in mind that US govt is likely still way more "efficient" than most others on the planet.

I lost faith in Marcus after just a few interactions. He is indeed what one would refer to as "crackpot" in academia. The most glaring thing was that he is technically extremely shallow and don't have a clue about most of the details. I also got impression that is enormously enamored with having attention and recognition at any cost. Depending on weather, he will change directions and views, basically just do anything it took to get that attention no matter how ridiculous he looks doing that.

While writing this, it occured to me that he would get even goose bumps at reading this comment because it, after all, I am giving him attention.

Amazing writing. When you become parent, the person you were at that point goes away. Growing as parent is part of letting that person go.

All these articles proposing "intuition" as secret magic dust is quite funny. This is culturally amplified by movies and media ("May the force be with you", "follow your feelings").

In reality, intuition is simply a pattern recognition mechanism that sometimes work. Entire science is basically testimony of how our intuition lead us astray and why we need to be disciplined about looking at data, evidence and crafting experiments. Our intuition has always said Earth is flat, Sun rotates around us, time is constant... Virtually every single thing in science is how our intuition (aka the primitive pattern recognition) was so magnificently wrong.

PowerShell should be taught in university as example of how poorly designed system devoid of taste and aesthetic looks like. It's an ugly monstrosity that makes me puke every time I try to use it. The only reason some people might like it is because they have been tortured by Windows defaults for many years and finally they got used to this utter mediocracy.

Why on earth you want 10X longer video with same information content as the shorter video?
