lowdose··on Scientists say a mind-bending rhythm in the brain can act like ketamine
This was a GPT3 response.
lowdose··on Tor 0day: Finding IP Addresses
I even remember you wrote that. I come here too often.
lowdose··on Oculus Quest 2
It's Facebook version of doublespeak.
lowdose··on Military police considered using controversial heat ray against D.C. protesters
Just a hose of horse shit mixed up cow dung.
lowdose··on The majority of 18- to 29-year-olds in the US are now living with their parents
They did that to their parents, and on top of that advantage they systematically didn't build enough houses for the projected population growth.

I think it is reasonable to ask if you set up a whole generation for failure yourself. Millennial choices are severely handicapt considering how we inherit the world versus how the boomer in the 90ties got it.

lowdose··on The majority of 18- to 29-year-olds in the US are now living with their parents
Housing in the Netherlands is really awful, in the '90 the boomers have build smaller apartments for their parents to move in and actually profit in an illicit way 2x of their real estate gains of sometimes 6x. No boomer is living smaller to make room for the next generation. I think the best way to combat current shortage in housing is putting up a limit on m2 that an individual could claim. 300m2 for a single person in a metro area while being on a pension is not sustainable in current conditions.
lowdose··on Jamstack Handbook – All things Jamstack with 3 step-by-step tutorials
I second this. Players like Netlify and Digital Ocean have a ridiculous amount of mindshare for solving a certain problem faster without the complexity that the big cloud providers bring.

I think the market is larger for simplified services without the IAM and S3 cruft, especially when you have to educate the client on the solution.

lowdose··on How UFO culture took over America
I agree but that is not in everybody's interest.
lowdose··on How Much Time Is Spent at Traffic Signals?
Telco's sell aggregate data on this.
lowdose··on Former NSA chief Keith Alexander has joined Amazon’s board of directors
Is this the first fruit Jeff is eating from his personal stay in Washington?
lowdose··on Vue.js Creator Evan You Interview
I had that too until I ramped up my own noise signal. With twitter I hooked up a couple of RSS feeds via IFTTT. I do tweet more but send out 20 RSS tweets also. Perfectionist is a creativity killer. Nobody fact checks and remembers what you tweeted a month ago.

I do keep my hn profile low profile because it is also nice to have an outlet for fresh idea's and opinions that need refinement. I actually change my mind the most about things I comment in on HN. On my work everything is within the Overton window.

lowdose··on Why Jeff Bezos Is the Richest Politician in the World
If every politician was as efficient as Jeff Bezos we wouldn't have any problem. We would already have solved cancer, flying cars and all that.
lowdose··on Low-code, no-model recommendation system with GPT3
Yes right, but just hope the signal to noise ratio in the trainings remains stable. Garbage in ...
lowdose··on The 10,000 Year Clock
I wish they publish more of the recent material from the foundation.

This video is still much appreciated. https://youtu.be/l-visVMXc6s

lowdose··on Is Spotify Killing the Top 40?
Isn't soundcloud better for house?
lowdose··on Interview with Paul Graham
I'm going to find one for the first. It is in this https://youtu.be/_b4qKv1Ctv8?t=8071

The second one is pretty obvious, Three former PayPal employees—Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim—created the service in February 2005.

With what we know of Peter Thiel I think the burden of proof is on you that he doesn't make use of the knowledge he has on specific network work effects of youtube.

Just like he installed Donald Trump with Facebook in the White House.

lowdose··on Interview with Paul Graham
But Eric Weinstein asks of his guests to practice difficult words listeners have to find in a dictionary. He practices difficult words with an ANKI spaced repetition system himself.

What I find intriguing is that Peter Thiel has yet to appear on the Joe Rogan podcast while he clearly bankrolled that operation.

lowdose··on List of YouTube channels for improving web development and programming skills
This but it is in general better to pay for a course at Udemy. You get your money back when you haven't learned anything and those teachers are paid by people like you. They have skin in the game. Youtubers get paid by the minute so they are maximizing your eyeball time.
lowdose··on Merkel demands answers from Putin over Navalny's attempted murder
Yes, it's posture for the populace. The moment the West invaded Iraq and Afghanistan we lost all moral high ground to make a judgement about what people are allowed to do beyond the geographic area they control. Especially since that murder execution style on Osama Bin Laden.

The Whole West World is compromised because none of our institutions prevented this nor were the guilty war criminals prosecuted.

lowdose··on Ask HN: Older friends being targeted by Google ads for funerals and cemeteries?
> I'm not sure what would be most effective to get the trackers to assign a younger cohort.

Start searching for contraceptives and within no time you are not only 15 but also female.

lowdose··on Neurophilosopher argues morality is rooted in brain science, not reason
> Do you have an actual counter-argument or are we just using reddit memes as dismissals now?

Your first comment under a throwaway account framing the argument at the level of reddit, are you kidding me?

lowdose··on Ex-Neuralink employees describe rushed timelines clashing with science’s pace
What feels rushed about a custom ML chip an order of magnitude better than NVIDIA?
lowdose··on Neurophilosopher argues morality is rooted in brain science, not reason
To kick off a morality discussion on HN with a Godwin shows you have good amount of confidence. I have changed my mind a lot on this stance when I read that in Protestants churches for 400 years was preached that the Jews killed Jesus. Antisemitism was baked in such that even the King of England is seen on pictures with Hitler himself.

lowdose··on Great Courses, Great Profits – A Curriculum in Human Thought
The irony in that customer trying to advance his knowledge and at the same time complaining about Noam Chomsky. I would order a ridiculous spicy pizza on his home address if I was that professor.

lowdose··on Facebook Quietly Ends Racial Ad Profiling – Revue
> Because race is not a biological trait.

Is that only in humans?

lowdose··on She’s Got Game
The average age of women at their first marriage in Europe is 33 years almost 3x older than the parts we are comparing against. None of them are traded in a transaction for a goat. These girls set them selves on fire because of the conditions they live in. Take a look at the photo on this page.

I cannot reply directly but I'm fairly certain you do not have daughters if you say the experiences are equal in those marriages we are comparing.

Let's agree to disagree.

lowdose··on She’s Got Game
Maybe I should have asked for a single example in the West where sexual and mental child molesting is legal and/or is not actively criminally prosecuted.

But at least it is very clear that we could only find a rare example against systematic rape of under aged girls in other societies.

15 million girls a year marry before the age of 18.

lowdose··on Sendgrid under siege from hacked accounts
What I would like to know from a Twilion:

Is Twilio used by commercial parties in the past to participate in voting in the European Song Festival?

lowdose··on She’s Got Game
Could you point out a single example in the Western world where a twelve year old girl is married to a 30 year old man because she had her first period?

720 million women living today married as children, many of them have had several children themselves with an immature body before they became adults. None of these women live in Western societies!
