Said mind is not only created by the genes.

It would be nice if Kagi Small Web would have an ActivityPub interface so that the most appreciated sites of a day could be added to a timeline on mastodon or lemmy.

China has a huge trade surplus and they are starting to trade in the BRICS currency. Why shouldn't there be billions? Once the investments pay off, why shouldn't there be even billions more?

Today, there are expats and mobile internet. Doesn't the world change? With automated production processes, workers won't be needed locally. Like many pensioners today, society could change and the majority could travel depending on seasons.

In other words, isn't the sedentary population missing out on receiving advice from hundreds of years of traveling? If the traveling children lack opportunities, shouldn't we find a way to offer those opportunities because sooner or later, many children will be traveling?

Technically, hypotheses cannot be proven because it's possible that all measurements were outliers.

E.g. if there were a global registry of credit dependencies and ownership, at least for system relevant companies, we should know what is going to happen.

But what is the worst that could happen? If companies fold, ownership will be transferred. As long as the companies are profitable, their business will continue.

Why should the government and the non-investors pay for government agencies that enforce regulations? If investors cannot handle due diligence, let them pay private agencies to secure their investments.

It can already happen on Twitter that people complete each other's thoughts but the Twitter timeline is not the medium to publish half-finished thoughts that could tarnish one's reputation.

Still, there is some joined thinking. HN shows that it's fun to pool notes on poplar topics. The difficulty lies in managing the attention on notes. Popularity voting doesn't work to navigate note collections.

The headline is about our smartness, but it doesn't mean us as a group. There is no joined thinking in his note-taking apps.

He is right when he talks about his isolated thinking:

>But the original promise of Roam — that it would improve my thinking by helping me to build a knowledge base and discover new ideas — fizzled completely

Where should new ideas arise in old notes when nobody sees them? Old notes just remind us that something is important. Revisiting them later, with new connections from new memories, it's possible to have new insights.

There is an easier way to access new memories: When notes are published, other brains, with many more, and different memories, can find solutions or advancements.

Historically, scientists only publish polished results, apart from exceptions like Hilbert's problems. Even those were remarkable problems. Who would dare to publish their minor nuisances or shallow observations (unless they come with a nice picture)?

The author hopes that AI can find answers. Why should we wait for AI when there are already intelligent humans? The problem lies in managing access to our thoughts. We don't want to allow everybody to see each of our notes.

>One interpretation of these events is that the software failed: that journaling and souped-up links simply don’t have the power some of us once hoped they did.

>In short: it is probably a mistake, in the end, to ask software to improve our thinking.

Software could improve our joined thinking. We need an acceptable format to publish our notes.

> On much of the free-to-play music, the audience can listen to the album twice before the content locks and BandCamp asks you pay to continue listening to it.

easterneuropeanmovies.com[1] comes close. Obviously, watching movies twice before paying doesn't work. Instead, easterneuropeanmovies.com allows you to watch the beginning of the movies for free.

If artists want a platform like BandCamp, they should create a pool of available movies that platform creators could instantly use.

Now, it's difficult to establish a new platform because it's not enough to program the software. The movies have to be licensed and an audience has to be acquired. If artists already take care of the license side, and if they help with acquiring an audience, they could lay the foundation for their favorite distribution channel.

How can there be a surplus of educated people who are unable to organize something profitable?

Once GPU production is fully ramped up, I would expect AI to become energy bound. Can we install enough renewable energy and nuclear power plants to fulfill the demand to the point that energy will be ridiculously cheap?

*edit: The downvotes are fair for the level of snark. Still, as I cannot judge the validity of the approach, shouldn't I be skeptical when there is an inclination to change more than necessary?

At least for me, the page keeps scrolling for a short moment, unlike other pages like HN. It's tasteful, but unnecessary.

Otherwise, I like to believe that rising dept ratios only reflect that the people who know how to invest profitably are not the people who currently have money.

With AI at the horizon, is a value of 2 high for the Buffet indicator? If only big companies have the resources to train NN, who but those traded companies is going to capture the entire GDP?

On that other side, the positive side, is there a self?

>Another feature about this guy is his low threshold of boredom. He'll pick up on a task and work frantically at it, accomplishing wonders in a short time and then get bored and drop it before its properly finished.

Working frantically at a task doesn't sound like self-realization.
