> I want to spend my life pursuing mastery of a craft, not lazily delegating.

And yet, the Renaissance "grand masters" became known as masters through systematizing delegation:

I like how you compare people to renaissance painters to inflate their egos

The article mentions that in the very next sentence

I’m talking about the frameset and frame tags, not iframes.

? It’s not like the machine would be custom built for him.

Are you saying it’s fine to drive a huge truck if you’re single and just need to get around the block to buy a pack of eggs, just because the emissions are nothing compared to those required for making that smaller, more efficient car that you could buy instead?

alehlopeh · 21 days ago
It’s actually fine to do that because people are allowed to make their own choices no matter how much you disagree with them.

The JS ecosystem in particular, it really seems like it was built by people hell-bent on reinventing the wheel and making all the mistakes / paying all the costs along the way. It's a pretty octagonal wheel so far, but maybe they'll get there eventually.

Ecosystems aren’t built by any homogeneous group of people. They’re a sum of their parts. It’s not like there was a committee and that committee decided how things should work wrt wheel reinvention. People publish packages, and the result is something we call an ecosystem.

As someone who continues to mask in public shared-air settings for my own health, I am entirely unsurprised by that response and get it all the time.

Recently heard from a friend that also continues to mask when sharing air, they had arranged car pooling for one of their children. And just this morning the other parent texted saying "your child wearing a mask makes me uncomfortable so we can no longer car pool".

So … yeah. Entirely unsurprised by that attitude. "Every person for themselves but also not if it's something I personally dislike."

Isn’t all air shared?

I almost saw this movie last night

https://thefilmstage.com/john-lilly-and-the-earth-coincidenc...

but we had a visitor at home and enough to deal with. I read Lilly's books like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Center_of_the_Cyclone

and they were a bit of a hoot as he nearly killed himself multiple times injecting LSD and then testified that LSD was perfectly safe. I've known a few people, all male, who took LSD and developed a sort of "messiah complex" where they felt not a general spiritual "sacrament" experience but rather the opposite and some kind of hypertrophy of narcissism like the 'False Self' that Kohut warns about.

The article mentions 2-C-T-2 which I got in Europe which I understand was the closest people got to a commercially viable psychedelic in that it has a nice stimulant effect (easy walk from the German border to Děčín) and very nice visuals but seems to have little cosmic element so you are sitting on the toilet and feeling like a constipated sinner and that's about it.

Myself I don't have a lot of interest in LSD and company these days because for a while every time I take it it makes me aware of how I have many more nerve endings in my gut than I have on my skin so I feel turned inside out which isn't quite a "bad trip" but isn't very good either. Best thing that happened the last time was I laid down in the leaf litter and watched a pair of snakes having sex but I later picked four ticks off myself.

Why would anyone inject LSD? Skin contact with a few micrograms is enough to trip.

It's interesting how different people's perception of what is ancient or not.

From the title I was assuming something around about 0 BCE, but it turns out to be a 17th century factory.

alehlopeh · a month ago
Wikipedia lists the cutoff for ancient at 500AD so I don’t think this comes down to perception. Insofar as words have meaning, TFA is using “ancient” incorrectly. Then again, language always seems to slouch towards the extremes. If literally dead can mean slightly amused, maybe ancient can mean a couple hundred years old.

I’m amazed no one has mentioned AI in this thread. The nice thing about LLMs is that, in a way, the framing of the question serves to “seed” the LLM with the context about who is asking. Ask something specific, and it will assume you already know what you’re talking about and give you only what you need.
