Why is lookism supposed to be bad/stigma, but favoring intelligent people is good/meritocracy? Both are "unjust" in the sense that they are a result of genetic lottery. If anything, it's the intelligence you are born with that you can't do anything about.

Society is better off with more intelligence, but also with more beauty! As we automate intelligence, the selection pressure on good looks will only increase.

Your question elides what “favoring” is in this context.

Outside of a few particular jobs, intelligence better predicts work performance, especially for knowledge work. The point of calling out the stigma of obesity is that it unfairly maligns people who are otherwise capable of contributing to a company.

This discussion is like the discourse about work from home/return to office.

Can you elaborate?

Don't ban it, just require that next to the current price merchant displays low/high/median price for the same good/service in the last 30 days.

Exactly. Most of the icky stuff is based on a lack of consumer knowledge.

NautiKron seems to show the current hour in the top row. Why not project it on the tide curve?

Putting the marker inside the tide curve would give it a cleaner look.

I considered it, and figured it was more legible to have the hour marker directly under the numbers. People looking at the NautiKron from across the room or who have low vision might like it better this way.

Good idea to revisit -- I'm always tweaking the designs and responding to owner feedback.

Thanks for the comment!

Bingo. That was not obvious to me before your one-word reply, and now, in retrospect, it is.

And I say this as a person who usually just rolls his eyes seeing the typical cynical HN hot takes. I believe Altman voices his deepest convictions here. The smarter thing to be cynical about is, what is his goal with voicing them now, and in this very format? As others have observed, this is the first time he is not even paying lip service to the question of existential risk.

All nine Justices agreed on the merit, including Justice Thomas who was in majority on Quill which he now voted to overturn. The decedent argued that the precedent, while wrongly decided, should be upheld on stare decisis grounds, and it should be left to Congress to correct the mistake.

Quantum computer would enable systematic approach in areas like material sciences and molecular biology, which today are essentially trial and error.

Thumbs up for QC in general. Thumbs down for hype.
