This is pretty wild, I had no idea any school was like this. What grade and area was this in? Public school?

Wow, that's pretty wild. Updating your post with pictures would be cool.

I understand the purported vulnerability. What I am saying is that I would be surprised if the URL were rendered, let alone made it to the victim.

Why doesn't the article contain proof of either attack in action?

I would be surprised if the second attack worked after what must be at least a couple layers of markdown/html conversion and spam filtering.

The two largest projects are still under construction, so it might be too early to make any conclusions.

Nice, doubt anything will come of this though.

talks of nationalizing companies

What is this referring to?

$10M is a pretty high amount. FIRE numbers top out around $4M and can be as low as $1M.

There are plenty of highly effective charities.

Yessir, it's slop.

It's a well-written essay, imo. Good pacing, interesting turns of phrase, and it conveys an anxiety that they're clearly feeling.

It's ok if you didn't like it, but you don't have to be mean about it.

Nice tip, but I use YouTube Music. I just downloaded my listening history, looks like they don't include listening duration, alas.

shows your listening rankings by hours, minutes instead of just scrobble count

I've wanted to build something like this for a long time, cool (and unsurprising, really) to see it's already done!

Swans is my number 30 by scrobbles but 4 by playtime, which makes total sense.

Be sure to explicitly ask for critiques or alternatives. In my experience the machine is really susceptible to a sort of anchoring effect.

Wow this is a great set. I haven't listened to much Underworld, but I will now. Thanks again!

Sick, I'll check it. Thanks for delivering!

Did you never have to write a research paper?

ITT: an allegory is read literally

Consumer goods have dropped in price, which is good for offsetting inequality. I think the allegory still holds in some other areas (off the top of my head: healthcare spending and renting versus owning your primary residence).

That said, income inequality is probably the much bigger source of unfairness these days.

Great story, but how are you going to say all that but not link to the recording?

precise alignment with me personally, or even with my own business

Seems like a strawman, I don't think anyone means this when talking about alignment.

More general goals, like avoiding paperclip maximization, are broadly applicable to humanity.

Nice piece.

Right now the skills you describe are definitely relevant. At work I'm regularly reviewing smelly changes, both from my own agents and others'. I'm wonder if this smell will always be present or if it will go away entirely, leaving the smell detector skills irrelevant.

Reading comments like this really shines a light on why Youtube is as bad as it is

I have about as much say in YouTube as you do. In the org tree, the lowest common ancestor between me and YouTube is Sundar.

My original comment was a joke about the fact that someone felt as if they were "forced" to watch something. It was more of a comment on consumer attitude than YouTube itself. I'm sorry YT isn't working well for y'all. That said, expecting some grunt employee like me to feel personally responsible (or even "ashamed"??) is ridiculous.

Good thing I work on internal infrastructure and not pointing a gun to this guy's head to prevent him from scrolling down past the first three results or refining his query.

you are forced to watch the 3 top videos, some 3 ads and then it forces you to watch some other random unrelated crap, it's so annoying and frustrating

Brother, you are the one choosing the videos.

Yeah that was pretty much my thought throughout the piece.

It felt like the author was punching down, too. This Cluely founder seems largely unsuccessful and, as the boat guy says at the end, just a kid. A chud of a kid, but a kid nonetheless.

Vengeance needn't be productive. The super-intelligence may punish simply because they want to.

There is not percentage limit, it's a flat number that increases annually https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/401k-limit-increases-to-24500-f...

I max my 401k because not taking advantage of tax-advantaged income is leaving money on the table.

Cool, thanks for the rec!

Interesting comment. I haven't heard this problem phrased this way nor have I heard of these schools, do you have a recommendation for learning more about this?

I wonder if, in the libertarian worldview, privacy legislation is viewed as a force for good preserving liberty or evil stifling free enterprise.
