I was wondering why the Central Park horse carriages haven't been banned yet and jokingly said "is there some all powerful horse and buggy lobby 😅" and every New Yorker just looked at me like this

I'm Chinese but I don't have the fundamental Chinese strength of willingness to grind. My strengths are more Western: doing the minimum at work, playing videogames, shitposting, blogging

Half of all families live in child care deserts.

How did we get here?

It’s Econ 101: Prices are high because lots of families need care, but there’s nowhere near enough child care providers. And there aren’t enough providers, because we’re not paying them enough.

i am a fan of ted chiang's fiction work but his recent essays on ai consciousness aren't convincing to me. i don't even think models in their current iteration are necessarily conscious, just that being open to the possibility that they are is important. some notes:

You really have to read Ted Chiang on consciousness and AI—just published in The Atlantic:

can you only understand experiences that have happened directly to yourself? i have never had a dog; would it be lying for me to say that "i understand?". maybe some people do think that is a lie, but i think it's just empathy.

What are public sector unions for, exactly? What problem are they trying to solve? And what does the evidence show about whether they solve it?

People on TikTok are like “If someone you don’t know says hi to you as you pass them on a sidewalk, they’re engaging in a manipulation tactic called ‘boundary-bombing’—here’s 5 signs to look out for” and then their next post is “The Village Theory” about how people need community

I do not mix on “monitors.” I DO NOT “car test” my masters. I make music in my HEADPHONES. And if I find out later that my song’s mix does not sound good when listening on speakers, then I REGRET IT FOREVER.
