I can't wait for the infomercial by Dr Oz

What's the opposite of imposter syndrome? Some people like Holmes, SBF and Trump are so convinced of their superior knowledge that they can't see that they are really bad at what they do

Edit: megalomania

delusion about one's own power or importance (typically as a symptom of manic or paranoid disorder).

Musk Warns Twitter Bankruptcy Possible as Senior Executives Exit

I'm going to be mad if California spends any of my tax dollars because a few derelicts who moved to the shore might get some unhealthy dust in their lungs. Most of them are smoking meth anyway. Move them and let it dry up. It's not an ancient lake with a robust ecosystem.

The Metaverse is a sexless, joyless world, much like Mark Zuckerberg himself. Sure, there's happy fun time, similar to the forced fun of office birthday parties if you're into that.

This is cringe. So much wrong with this. Doesn't he have grownups around him that could figure out how to fund this system in a fair way without him throwing a tantrum on Twitter? Elon, delete this.

One could quietly strike the appropriate deals to keep funding this or one could go on Twitter and act like a spoiled brat. Now I understand why his daughter refuses to have anything to do with him.

I was around in that time frame but don't remember McKuen, but I do wonder what happened to Zamfir Master of the Pan Flute

It's not an urban myth. It's a rural myth.

I'm joking but I expected to get [dead] so it's nice to see HN has a sense of humor sometimes!

This was predicted in Horx Myxln's groundbreaking book "Crabitalism"

Seems like this case would involve some sex along the way somewhere

I've lived long enough and been around children enough to know that the curiosity of most children only goes so far. The existence of the phrase "curiosity killed the cat" implies to me that we feel there should be limits to curiosity because sometimes it's good to leave well enough alone.

Some kids won't listen and continue to ask questions until they achieve some understanding they seek. These kids usually remain curious through out life. I am not convinced this percentage is declining. I'd expect it to increase, but now even moderately curious children have access to a wealth of information and ideas over the internet that will spark more curiosity in them.

I don't want to be limited by the hardware in the glasses because in most cases I am sitting doing work or watching entertainment. Give me a couple of high pixel density screens in front of my eyes while I'm tethered to a high powered desktop machine.

The $1499 pro only has 37% more pixels. That's not enough. This focus on making it all fit in the glasses is hurting the advancement of truly break through VR. It's the lack of graphics capability is the reason for the cheesy 90's graphics.

If I want to get up and move around, exercise and play beat saber I can use a second pair of much cheaper glasses.

California either needs to grow less water intensive crops or build desalinization plants. Recovering water from tomatoes and grapes won't put a dent in the problem.

I like the prose poetry of this article. It flows in a nice way. Well done.

Musk is an amazing polymath. I'm not sure there has ever been a person in history who is an expert on so many things. I'm sure it only took him a weekend to become a nuclear weapons expert. I feel lucky to be alive at the same time as him.

I watch movies to relax
