Aside from improvements in the air conditioning, ductwork, insulation, windows, GFCI plugs, appliance improvements, entire new categories of kitchen appliances, new flooring materials, medications in the cabinet, and cosmetic products, what have the Romans ever done for us?

>what do you mean we've technologically stagnated since the 1970s? Walk into any room and mentally take away the computer screen and the phone (both info technology). Has anything about that room changed from any room you'd find in 1971?

In 2018 I'd never touched any metal tool beyond a wrench. I'd only done hammer-and-nail framing and shingle roofing. Today I finished this sawmill shelter and track extensions. I made some of the tools. All self-taught. If you want to learn it, you can. kickstarter.com/projects/awp…

When the SR-71 feels threatened, it will perform a “deimatic display” in which it spreads out its frill, making it appear larger to its natural predators, such as the Air Force Budgetary Committee.

It’s called Lego Batman 2 and it’s the best game ever to play with 4 year old boys. I’ve done it with two and the third one is coming up on 4 now.

Plato: A mech is just a tank that can trip. Diogenes: Behold, a mech! Kant: You cannot will that every tank should trip & become a mech, for then the concept of a stable fighting vehicle would contradict itself. Hegel: Thesis: tank. Anthithesis: gravity. Synthesis: a mech!

One thing I share with my friend Dan is that I’m predominantly self taught in almost everything useful I know or do. So is Dan. I’ve read some of his other works and I have very high expectations for this book.

I find that the best way to think of LLMs is as an "employee simulator." On the one hand, this model really helps you get more useful work out of them. On the other, it implies that if you can't get useful work out of one then you'd also be a terrible manager.
