You're just looking for the study of rhetoric. LLMs have clustered on certain rhetorical patterns/gestures, probably because of a combination of frequency in input and bias in training. But rhetoric also concerns the…
Could you explain what you think veganism is or means?
How many working class people would be happier and less stressed if they had high-quality transit to replace their car bills?
Cars are enclosed sofas that move around. Could car dominance be contributing to obesity?
HN has a disproportionate quantity of 23yo founders trying to vibe-code the "Stripe for pickleball gyms" or whatever. Don't fret about it
Bizarre perspective. Imagine if you were hiring a chef and you found out they mostly do not go in the kitchen?
Claude has been a big boost to my sense of competency. I get to point out so many poor solutions in slop PRs now
Electric cars are the savior of the auto industry, not of the climate. It needs to become viable for most people to get around without cars at all. The intensity of their resource consumption, both for manufacture and…
I'm often so flustered to be interrupted by yet-another-marketing-modal that I will just close the tab and abandon whatever task, or purchase, I was undertaking. They are actively harmful to my holistic state-of-mind…
What about a future where carbon emissions follow the same trend as carbon emissions for the last 50 years
I once tasked an LLM with correcting a badly-OCR'd text, and it went beast mode on that. Like setting an animal finally free in its habitat. But that kind of work won't propel a stock valuation :(
Best I ever feel is when I'm walking 4+ miles daily. The phenotypic human body (not to dismiss any individual's disabilities or idiosyncracies) is top-to-bottom built to walk long distances, and bipedalism is an older…
None of the best or most famous poets of the last two centuries ever made a living off of their poetry. That's not why anyone does it.
What happens in society when every city is filled with the retired rich and zero actual workers?
Hundreds of thousands of people use public transit daily in America. Long headways, poor coverage, and lackluster maintenance budgets are a much more important problem than what you're describing.
This flagged for me right away too. I would be badly surprised if a Map-style chained method mutated the memory of the receiver.
Instant cmd-w from me as well. Our civilization must stop doing this
Vachel Lindsay himself took a couple of long-distance walking tours where he eschewed carrying money and would knock on strangers' doors each night to offer his poetry in exchange for food and shelter. His book about…
I love Ulysses because of what it says about growing into middle age, facing irresolvable insecurities about yourself, and the solace against these that you can find in friendship—the way you can feel your soul sing…
Many paid ebooks are in a low-quality format too. I've bought Kindle books from real, well-known publishing houses that had obviously not had a single proofreader go through after their OCR. A motivated volunteer…
Sorry, got nothin on me
“Nature” and “natural” are normative terms that commonly distinguish the world altered and created by humans from the world that isn’t altered or created by humans. It’s clear in context that Sakamoto is using the term…
I dunno. It's worth asking, but we're not spoilt for people writing songs like "There's A Place" right out of secondary school. They had the juice.
Raising livestock means using cropland to grow feed. It's hugely less efficient than growing plants for human consumption using the same resources. If you eat meat, have you ever asked yourself why?
Circular reasoning. What kind of evidence can you have for some being "not smart enough" for any arbitrary experience? Nice essay though
