Most of the people watching an interview with Elon Musk will be Elon Musk fans. When an interviewer challenges Musk's position, they are also challenging the audience. If the interviewer succeeds in making Musk look stupid, then it's embarrassing and uncomfortable for the people. So the...

Unless you're a socially-ambitious high-schooler I don't see why you would care. Also I think Android works better with iMessage now so you can avoid the crushing social stigma of the green text.

I've been looking out for this, and for the most part bog brother has been really good around the twins: he wants to cuddle them, give them their bottle, comfort them when they are crying etc. and we've been trying hard to make sure that he gets plenty of quality time with his parents, although...

Just read that section of the book. The twins are different sexes, so there's a chance they will develop at different rates and compare themselves differently to their older brother and to each other.

A fun analysis of the storytelling in DBZ. If you grew up watching the Namek (Frieza) saga then this is nice and nostalgic. Dragon Ball: Super Saiyan (A Prophecy Done Right) - Detail Diatribe

AI generated code still has to be reviewed and tested to prove that it is correct. You absolutely cannot and should not trust the code generated by an LLM. You might be able to skip that step and take ypur chances if you're making some low-risk throwaway app but in serious applications no AI...

It is mostly based around an idea that children can engage in reflection to moderate their emotional responses. But yes, for my toddler the main takeaway was that his tantrums could be opportunities for development. The strategies often don't seem to work, but it feels much more constructive to...

Thanks, I'll check it out. Just finishing Whole Brain Child at the moment and putting those ideas into practice with a small amount of success. Advice books make things seem easier than they actually are.

I guess the difference between a brass coin and a silver coin is how much value you lose by melting it down?

Gold also loses value upon being melted down from coins, right? What's the difference between diamonds and gold, though? Both: Are commodities. Are mostly used for ornament. Are expensive because their supply is artificially constrained. Are valuable for no good reason other than people want...

Also: What's the difference between "intrinsic worth" and "purchasing power" here? "Intrinsic worth" here seems to refer to the price I could get for the gold if it were melted into a lump of metal. But "purchasing power" seems to the price I could get for the intact coin.

= coins made of a commodity that's still tradeable even if you melt the coins down.

None of those things have intrinsic worth.

Not just safely, but extremely safely. On the other hand, we allow coal and gas power plants to pollute the environment, releasing greenhouse gases and radioactive fly ash. The operational costs of a nuclear power plant include the cost of ensuring that the plant does minimal damage to the...

Maybe this will become part of a theoretical model of a society's decline. "Decline is marked by...return to preindustrial literacy rates...preventable spread of previously eradicated diseases..."

I might need an extra pair of hands, but worth a try.

Gold doesn't do anything while it's kept in a safe. Its sole function is to be moved from one safe to another. Looks like money.

Why did the price of gold shoot up? Seems to be that it's still just being used as money. I mean, people are mostly buying gold just to have gold that they can sell later.

Here's an interesting idea for why gold has intrinsic value as money: basically, it's a stable material that can be made into regular pieces, and it is rare but not too rare. https://www.livescience.com/32863-gold-best-element-money.html
