I don't see a flaw, I think you're just gatekeeping software creation.

Anyone can pick up some CAD software and design a house if they so desire. Is the town going to let you build it without a certified engineer/architect signing off? Fuck no. But we don't lock down CAD software.

And presumably, mission critical software is still going to be stamped off on by a certified engineer of some sort.

I would say it depends, from your examples:

1) borderline. Potentially provides some benefit to the thread for readers who also don't have time or expertise to read an 83 page paper. Although it would require someone to acknowledge and agree that the summary is sound.

2) Acceptable. Dude got grok to make some cool visuals that otherwise wouldn't exist. I don't see what the issue is with something like this.

3) borderline. Same as 1 mostly.

The more I think about this, the less bothered I am by it. If the problem were someone jumping into a conversation they know nothing about, and giving an opinion that is actually just the output of an LLM, I'd agree. But all the examples you provided are transformative in some way. Either summarizing and simplifying a long article or paper, or creating art.

Brother, what problem are you trying to solve with this and your prior dating app question earlier today? There are already plenty of ways to signal intelligence on a dating app.

No one wants some convoluted mechanism that removes their ability to control their profile and replaces it with some visual representation of one narrow dimension of the human experience.

The smarter you are, the more disappointed your date will be when they meet you in person!

Yeah, I think this is a non starter for a multitude of reasons lol.

It seems your belief structure has been corrupted by social media and god knows what else. Might I suggest questioning your priors. Carrying this much rage towards Boogeymen can't possibly serve you.

The Louvre is a public institution. as stated by their endowment fund: The Louvre is heir to a universal cultural legacy. Its duty is to bring that legacy to the widest possible audience, and pass it down enriched to future generations.

People should be entitled to visit the Louvre for cheap because that is literally their mission.

I don't really think that is a similar experience, there's something about seeing paintings in the flesh that simply can't be recreated digitally. The texture, the scale, the colours...

Maybe one day if VR becomes commoditized and freely available.

Interesting, I think you have to consider the system as a whole and the impacted stakeholders when considering pricing.

In your example, if we consider the environment a stakeholder, and the fact that increased safari impact has a negative impact on the ecosystem, there's a stronger argument for higher price.

In the case of the Louvre, the paintings and sculptures aren't going to be harmed by having more eyeballs on them, so, there's a stronger case to maximize access.

Lol, I mean, if we ignore the experience of all the people who are priced out, then sure? Appreciation of culture shouldn't be reserved for the rich.

People have already given you practical reasons why you're better off keeping it public. To answer your question as to how to get over your fear, you need to ask yourself what you're afraid of. You've mentioned you're worried about someone ripping off your hard work and claiming it as their own. If you can understand the root of why the idea of that pisses you off, you will probably find it's an artificial construct of ego. Understand the root and the fear will loosen it's grip.

If it were that easy, the norm wouldn't be blowing the wealth on gambling or pet sharks lol.

If he has successfully assembled a team of bankers that has been as successful as his portfolio suggests, while allowing him to be completely hands off, the man clearly has talents beyond the basketball court.

That's a wonderful place to be.

I'm not suggesting that the joy of coding is tied to illusions for everyone, just appears to be more to the story in the case of the author based on his framing.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm not suggesting there's no value in the act of creation.

I think the author has been telling himself that he derived joy from the act of creating, but his comments suggest otherwise, he was deriving joy from a false belief of what being a coder meant, about what it would provide him. There's a mismatch between what he believes he's getting out of coding, vs what he's actually getting.

Put another way, reality is reality, there is no right reality, or wrong reality. Perceiving it as right or wrong is just our ego trying to bend reality to match our beliefs.

Having gone through a bit of a crisis of meaning personally lately, this article resonates deeply. I would encourage the author to look inward and question the beliefs that got them here.

I'd argue you didn't lose the joy of coding, you lost the illusion that coding made you real, that it made you you.

4 guesses today. First time it hasn't taken 6 lol

He was willing to put some percentage of the 650SOL into the risky project, we don't know how much he intended to invest/gamble, but it seems doubtful to me that he intended to spend his whole wallet on it.

Please reflect on the circumstances in your life that lead you to this belief. In my experience this is a very toxic viewpoint and couldn't be further from the truth.

If anything I'd argue that more than ever both women and men are searching for authenticity in a partner. Something increasingly difficult to come by in our social media fueled world.

Sure, there is a subset on both sides that has been completely sucked in by this culture and measures each others worth by the number of followers on their instagram, but I'd actually view this as a positive. It's really convenient to be able to identify and filter out these vain individuals early on in the dating process.

Keep your head up nodejs_rulez_1, there are still plenty of good women and men out there.

Oh got it. I guess the bull run is even more aggressive since the 15th, but it's been on a run for a lot longer than that imo.

Thanks for the references, I get what you're saying now!

a few violent individuals? A few? From the videos I've seen it was far more than a few individuals with ill intentions.

I 100% agree, but I was curious so I went through a few pages of hacker news posts, looking for some other scientific studies to see the general sentiment in the comments.

Here's one I found on an antidepressants impact on covid hospitalizations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25701446

Far from scientific, but there seems to be a general acceptance of the study in the comments of that article. I cannot say the same of this one. Now obviously the sample size and statistics of the studies are not identical, but it seems to me we're seeing significantly more 'critical thinking' in this thread than that one. I would love to drill into this further and see if this trend holds in further comment threads, but I'm late for a hike.

Right? While I think it's important to have open dialogue and discussion in society, the comments here are making me sad. Based on everything we know about American society, the claims this study makes don't seem terribly outlandish, but lord some people really want to refute it.

This is true, like anything, you need to build up to it. I lived an entirely sedentary lifestyle for the first 30 years of my life, hated all sport and physical activity. Dated a girl who taught me the joys of exercise and movement and I've been hooked on running for the past 4 years.

Takes some time to build up a base, and of course you need to be careful if you are quite heavy initially like I was. If you just listen to your body and don't overdo it, it all comes together pretty naturally. While bad form is a risk, a lot of what I've read seems to indicate that your body will naturally find a running gait that is optimal for your body and minimizes impact. Running without headphones also helps, just listen to your footfalls and adjust your stride to minimize impact. (I can't find any studies on this, but I can't help but feel that a lighter footfall is likely minimizing impact on joints somehow)

Can you provide a reference for this? (I believe you, I would just love to read more about it)

Not an American, so perhaps I'm missing some nuance, but as an outsider looking in I find this comment perplexing.

Am I correct in assuming the rioting looters and mostly peaceful protests comment refers to the BLM protests earlier this year?

If so, am I understanding correctly that you feel these two protests were similar in their nature? It feels to me that protesting decades of racial injustice is vastly different than protesting because you didn't agree with the outcome of an election?

Again, I am Canadian so I am likely missing some local understanding, but I just don't understand this comparison.

Now that I've thought about this further, another thing to add. If memory serves from the BLM protests, while there was rioting and looting, that was denounced by the majority of the protestors and not the core intent. From what I saw on Wednesday, the rioting and destruction seemed more central to the protest, and I haven't seen anything about the majority of the protestors denouncing the violence and destruction of the capital. It's possible I did miss this, and if it has been denounced by the majority I do apologize.

this holier than thou attitude really isn't helpful. And based on the fact that they estimate their runway runs out in August, they did have at or near 6 months of emergency funds saved up. Have some empathy please.

Can confirm, none of those people know how to cook rice in my world.

Hey Dan, no questions in particular, but this was a fascinating and hilarious look into the infancy of the internet. Kudos, my parents, and 13 year old me didn't get the internet til 1999, but this site certainly seemed to be ahead of its time. To this day it's my go to cooking site, although Kenji and the team at serious eats bring a perspective I enjoy.

Perhaps the reason a large portion of the traffic is direct, social etc. is you're far better optimized in these areas.

Based on your other comments it seems like you really know what you're doing in these spaces. I'm no expert, but based on all the positive feedback, capturing organic search traffic could help you kill it. Show them and they'll stick.

The metric analysis freelancer idea really spoke to me. Anyone with experience in this field have any suggestions for how one might break into this type of work? I'm always drawn to blog posts and the like that deal with metrics analysis but lack much real world experience. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
