If this was left at the state level some elected official would say the devil is in the code and we need to ban it.

You are working against LLM attention. A LLM looks at a conversation and focuses on its attention points. Usually the start and end. Your previous work falls into the out of attention space and gets nuked.

If your asking how to have everything attention we currently can't.

You can get all the day dreaming benefits through meditation as well. 30 minutes of a small background noise like rain or something and just sit with your thoughts. Does pretty much the same thing and you can still use a device during the day.

I'm just hoping it brings out an explosion of new thought and not less thought. Will likely be both.

LLM interactions are more a reflection on the user than a objective technology. I'm starting to believe that people that think that LLM's are terrible are sub optimal communicators. Because their input is bad the output is.

Pain is relative to experience and tolerance. Using patient input is inherently flawed.

I'm not sure why they are calling out a specific conflict. People don't have objective violence barometers. Every act of new worst violence you ever experience is the worst ever until something worse happens.

Isn't this just saying apply more master hours faster? Its hours at the task not x time passing.

I'm going to risk a political statement and say that this is why I'm mostly hopeful about DOGE, even if parts of it are a shit show.

Building civilization comes with a hefty dose of institutional entropy, which keeps accumulating, despite (or often because) good intentions and competence. Everybody is improving their piece of the map, but this means you get stuck in a lot of spots of local maxima. Some can be fixed from a level above, but some need a round of creative destruction every 10 years or so.

I've read this yesterday: https://unchartedterritories.tomaspueyo.com/p/why-japan-succ...

It's a good read and a good blog for many reasons, but the relevant part to this conversation: Japan managed to keep a very high level of living even through decades of economic stagnation and aging population in large part by having a sane zoning system. Yes, that simple. They have 12, nation-wide, mostly inclusive zoning types. This means the permitted building types carry over as you move up the categories, allowing mixed-use development by default.

And indeed, you can actually go to Japan and buy a house for about the price of a decent car - which coincidently used to be the case in most of the world, before the double pressure of zoning/coding on one hand, and migration towards urban centers on the other squeezed the housing pricing way above what actual costs would have it be.

I'm with you in that hope. There has been wild growth for a very long time. Realignments are painful but necessary.

Just view a topic on Reddit then on X. You can't be outraged both ways and it should cancel out.
