Thiel is not an idiot.

Competition is for losers, is a way to say to go and compete in a super crowded market where it is impossible to differentiate yourself is not going to make you a winner.

But usually people are called idiots because they don’t swallow the progressive propaganda wholesale.

mostertoaster commented on What monotheism means is surprisingly hard to pin down   newyorker.com/magazine/20... · Posted by u/diodorus

The word monotheism didn’t even exist until the 17th century.

I’m doubtful of some of the article’s claims, that seem to project our modern ideas onto the ancient world.

But I think ancient israel saw there were many “gods”, but they viewed Yahweh as “God most high” or even “creator God”.

It’s like saying “Hinduism” is this singular religion, that is actually full of different gods and different practices, but we just lump it all together as one thing.

We just really like taxonomies.

As an experienced software engineer, I’m incredibly excited about what AI is going to be able to do, like on a scale of 1-10, I’m an 8.

As a citizen, who doesn’t trust the government, or the media, or giant corporations, I’m also an 8/10 concerned.

That means I’m equally concerned about AI as I am excited, I might be more concerned than someone who isn’t excited at all about AI 1/10, but who is mildly concerned with a 5/10.

No, not the AI. Just the owner of means of production like AI.

The fact that capital owners successfully avoid contributing to the financing of our states and social systems is, in my view, one of the fundamental problems of our time.

The fact that people think, capital owners who actually provide employment and produce useful things and do better the better they serve the consumer even when their motives aren’t altruistic (and when they are altruistic it is even better) should be taxed more so the giant government corporation can make bureaucrats pockets fatter and waste a bunch of money doing inefficient things is more of a fundamental problem.

New Lantern | https://newlantern.ai | Software engineers (frontend and backend product engineers) | Full time in San Francisco, CA (ONSITE)

New Lantern is building an AI radiology resident—think Cursor for radiologists. Our application integrates the three software tools radiologists use all day [1], together with AI, to create a platform that saves radiologists toil and lets them focus on reading images and finding disease.

We are a series A startup with ~15 engineers (~25 total staff), have live customers generating revenue, several years of runway, and are backed by Benchmark, Anthropic, and other great investors.

We're hiring for several engineering roles. You'll work directly with our founder/CEO, our staff radiologists, and our end users to build a product that radiologists rely on daily. You'll have real ownership and autonomy, and ship meaningful work frequently. Learn more and apply at https://careers.newlantern.ai

I'm Steve, New Lantern's Head of Engineering. If you're interested or want to learn more, shoot me a note at (my HN username)@newlantern.ai.

[1] a radiology image archive & viewer, a medical report dictation system, and work management system

I love that you have to find the cancer on the CT scan to see the jobs page. That’s creative. Now I’m craving some gamified version of that to see how terrible of a radiologist I would be.

For me, it immediately made me think of Psycho-Pass.

It’s a cyberpunk anime where society uses a system called the Sibyl System to constantly scan people’s mental states and “crime potential” (their Psycho-Pass).

People can be arrested before they’ve done anything - just because the system picked up certain signals from them.

Very, very interesting idea

Oh that sounds cool. Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely going to check it out.

and what does “covering 2 years of math and reading in 6 months” do for you? getting ready to send your kids to 9-5 grind when they are 12?
mostertoaster · 4 months ago
Or just because math is awesome and knowing more is just great knowledge to obtain.

For some reason people think having an education is only valuable if it is traded for money. For example I think an educated wife and a mom who never earns a single dollar from an employer is incredibly value to her family.

I hope my daughters get a robust liberal arts education and then just get married young and have kids and be homemakers.

Be curious how they got their numbers. Because I had to fill out intent to homeschool forms for my 4 kids that are over 10, but they’re all at a classical Christian school, but there is one home day a week so it technically is considered homeschool by the state. So if they pull from those types of forms it could be there are a lot of kids who are at schools but look like they’re homeschooling from the numbers.
