Interesting fact about Gillette from Peter Drucker.

Gillette sold their razors at 1/4 of the manufacturer's cost but they had a patent on the razor itself which will only take Gillette's razor blades.

Those razor blades are markup 400% - 1 cent sold for 4 cents.

The "innovation" was people are willing to pay per shave instead of paying upfront for a razor which was seen as an investment at the time.
This is the main reason I stopped using it. I don't know if they pushed an update to transaction tagging, but it got really bad all of a sudden making the product much less useful to me.

I think it's clearly relevant to consider the full range of allegations against Krauss, not just one picked at random that's no more relevant than any of the others. The Esptein connection is relevant because it highlights his ethical bankruptcy in this area.

The BuzzFeed article I linked to contains the full ASU report. It's helpful to have a direct link, but I wasn't linking to the wrong page.

My paraphrase is accurate. It's clear from her statement that Krauss touched her inappropriately and that she didn't like it. It's for Krauss's employer to decide whether that's a firing offense, not her. It baffles me that anyone would cite this in defense of Krauss. I mean, look at the title of the video!

Obviously, there is little connection between Krauss sexually harassing women and whatever he is saying in this article. I was responding to correct people who aren't aware that he has an indisputable record of sexual harassment.
My best guess is "Additionally it sometimes talks about things that aren’t really True - like the back pain in Example 1, and if you play with the different parameters (top_k/top_p and temperature mainly) you can force it to go on long tirades which eventually become nonsensical."

True shouldn't be capitalized like that (influence from sample Python code or another language that uses "True"?), and Example 1 doesn't discuss back pain. I don't know enough about GPT or whatever other possible models may be getting discussed to know whether "top_k/top_p" make sense, though temperature would seem to.
Even if we keep following my analogy then my behavior is not abusing the content creator in any way, so no, not really. Meanwhile the negative sides of advertising and ad tech are well-documented.

Not to mention the fact that I am not the person responsible for giving advertisers access to someone's website. If anything I'm going easy on the content creator by holding the fact that they do so against them.

Meta: do you view a product through the customer's eyes or through the eyes of the person making it?

That's been an important insight for me to understand. Describing something in terms of its features/how it works, you might say "photo sharing app". But this core feature could be wrapped, packaged, marketed, and described so many different ways: flickr, Instagram, Getty Images (!!), a scientific collaboration tool, etc.

"Task management" feels similar.
Why? I'm genuinely curious. I've never used their product, but their Wikipedia page says they are a San Francisco based company with end-to-end encrypted messaging and video conference calls[1]. And their home page[2] says "Fully encrypted. Enterprise-ready. Private."

At first glance it seems like a reasonable choice. US based and end-to-end encrypted seems to be what the military wants in this case.

Actually, I think it's your tone. There are other people who are expressing similar ideas in this thread and are being upvoted. I'll also correct you, since your last statement is wrong.

I procrastinate a lot. I am also extremely successful by most measures. I have a lot of education and an advanced degree. I have started companies and sold them. I have worked for VCs. I consult. I make a lot more money than almost anyone else in the world by percentage.

I did ALL of those things while fighting with and tackling procrastination. And sometimes, I lose. I lose really hard. I procrastinate for weeks on important things that could take minutes.

I am glad you don't have these social anxieties and disorders. But they are quite real and take real work to get past. Successful people are not those who don't procrastinate. Successful people are those who take challenges and find ways to work around them.
Right, but if they didn’t focus on hyper growth because of VC pressure and focused on sustainability instead, then it wouldn’t be a problem.
I haven't been able to minimize the shock too much, but I've seen a little success fully entering and exiting the water repeatedly, staying in a little longer each time. Eg. 5 secs, 15 secs, then 30 secs. After 3 or 4 in and outs, I just stay in and get on with the swim.

This gives me a chance to gauge what I'm dealing with (water temp + how willful and resilient I'm feeling that day). Plus it makes the initial entry less of a mental hurdle because I know I'm coming out shortly after entering.
>I am entirely, exhaustively aware of the subjectivity of intelligence. What are words such as “intelligence” other than imperfect summaries with some degree of private meaning to the speaker that is never 100% conveyed into the listener’s brain? I can further break intelligence into a series of abstraction hurdles that humans meet but not animals, but that increases entropy beyond what I believe is necessary here.

You're creating a straw man.

You said previously you wanted "...intelligence being defined as it is common understood, and calling that definition arbitrary or saying that it’s not commonly understood would further illustrate the point in my OP)."

And I gave you the commonly accepted definition of intelligence, just as you requested. Do you refute the definition I give.

And then you go and claim its subjective and you can give it whatever definition you want....

I'm done here.
Fair Point. It is orthogonal, but it is often correlated in practice. Quite often permission systems to prevent modification are also used to prevent visibility.

I'd also say it's not completely unrelated. Let's consider a hidden build machine process. Once you've hidden that, preventing modifications to the build process by people "not in the know" makes it much less likely that said process can be discovered (either on purpose or accident) If everyone can and does have full access to those build machines it increases the likelihood that someone making a modification could run into said process.

That's only the case if you make nonsensical comparisons.

I wasn't born to an upper middle class family and I didn't get a ten million dollar trust fund. I don't have the correct muscle fibers to be an Olympian, etc. That's happened, it's done. That comparison is completely pointless and irrelevant for me.

From the perspective of decision making, what matters is the difference in expected value of different decisions that I make now, from T=0, not some time in the past that I can't affect.

(FWIW, 'skill/talent/intelligence/effort' are also part of that initial distribution).

The idea that success is primarily random makes no sense at all, because there are certainly paths that an individual can take that will not under any circumstances result in outsized success.

There are paths that an individual can take that will by definition result in failure, like if I went out and drove my car into a wall at 100mph.
It wasn't just the word "grooming" - the source(s) leaked that she compared journalists to sexual predators and used the word "grooming". How much more detailed could a source be without a quote if the quote was something like "journalists are like sexual predators - they groom their sources etc. etc."?

Totally fair not to believe the article. I do, because if it didn't happen then Quibi would have said so in their response (they didn't - it's a classic denial-non-denial). But even if you don't, credible journalism doesn't use exact quotes all the time.
Put it in context, is it ever acceptable to have all your activity publicly logged? Keybase isn’t forward secure, so so disclosure of your keys later leads to complete availability of your cleartext.

> In my mind self-reliance, is growing and having strength unto one's self but giving freely of that strength to others to build relationships.

I think that the point is that "strength unto one's self" exists within a myriad of external supports. That strength exists because of the the physical and mental tools built and maintained by a multitude of other individuals.

This is not saying that there isn't variance in levels of dependence external, but that true independence is not possible. To acknowledge only the gifts you give, and not the gifts you receive and have received is to miss out on some of the beauty of life.

For anyone in SF, I'd recommend checking out the Dolphin Club if you're into swimming in cold water – it's right on Aquatic Park in Fisherman's Wharf and has saunas that you can jump into right after your swim. It's probably my favorite place in the city and is open to the public every other day.

"That's why the same size house costs more in a city." This idea is actually debunked in the report; Singapore and Tokyo do not have a similar kind of problem in American cities because there's more construction of housing. In America, there are more restrictions around building and less tenant rights (compared to Germany/Switzerland) which causes American housing to be an asset for both wealthier/older US citizens and foreigners.

Yes, because of SNI [0].

This is why an increasing number of consumers go with the more is less when shopping for appliances. I don't need my fridge or washing machine to have all these bells and whistles. I just need it to do its main job, and do it well with a minimum of components that can fail, and make sure it's running reliably.
One of the features I think these types of products need going forward is end-to-end encryption. There's simply too much data being exchanged between Plaid, this service and any third parties used. Someone's every transaction, investment, and budget will be too lucrative not to sell. I would pay for a service that could keep all this data private.
About getting treatment: it's extremely irritating that some people judge using Ritalin is somehow morally wrong. Yes, I get that "lifestyle changes" could help, but I don't want to change my lifestyle.

Can you imagine the uproar if cardiologists denied prescribing the pill, instead forcing people to spend 30m a day running?

I don't really use YNAB to strictly budget either, but more for tracking as well. Essentially, I budget the fixed categories (mortgage, property taxes, insurance, etc.), move some fixed amount to a savings category, and then leave the rest as "To Be Budgeted".

Then, as the month goes on and some of the categories that didn't have a fixed budget are "over budget", I just move the required money to the individual category to zero it out. Anything that caries over to the next month goes to the savings category.

You are dealing with two separate feedback mechanisms. One allows the creation of revenue via consumer purchases. That is the quantity companies hope to increase, and limiting a consumer to authorized components allows for higher margins by artificially limiting competition and increasing the revenue. Albeit inflationary, that works until a competitor figures out an effective forging method. The other is brand reputation, whereby future purchases are dependent on how a consumer feels about the brand. You state that such tactics cannot look good for the brand, but remember that there is a delay between the large bulk of appliance purchases and the time when consumers would be writing bad reviews, affecting future purchases. By the time this cause and effect chain concludes, most of the benefit for the first feedback mechanism has already realized, and the vendors can move on to the next deal. Keep in mind that consumers do not necessarily look at filter compatibility when making a purchase, and companies can capitalize on that. Both mechanisms contribute to stock value, but your surprise might stem from the fact that their contribution is uneven. In other words, short term monetary gains trump long term brand gains, because consumers have short memories.
