In Texas Hold ‘Em, the most popular form of poker, there is no drawing or discarding, just betting and folding.
This seems like strong evidence that those parts are where the skill lies — somebody came up with a version that removed the other parts, and everyone switched to it.
Not sure how that affects the metaphor. For me I think it weakened the punch, since I had to stop and remember that there exist forms of poker with drawing and discarding.
Right, I understand it now, thanks. I missed the labels on the x axis.
I found your bar chart more confusing than illuminating. Does it make sense to mark the bottom 20% of people, and those people’s 43% probability of staying in the bottom 20%, as two different fractions of the same bar? The 43% is 43% of the 20%, not of the original 100%.
If many more people are extremely happy all the time than extremely depressed all the time, the bunch of people you describe would be managing their beliefs rationally. And indeed I think that’s probably the case.
Can anybody confirm whether Paul is likely systematically silenced re OpenAI?

Thanks. Do you use this system for reading list(s) too?
When you say you use a kanban-style system, does that just refer to the fact that there are columns that you drag items between, or does it specifically mean that you also make use of an 'in progress' column?
If so, do you have one for each 'todo' column, or what?
And do you have a column for the 'capture' aspect of GTD, or do you do something else for that?
Are you interested in these debates in order to help form your own views, or convince others?
I feel like debates are inferior to reading people's writings for the former purpose, and for the latter they deal collateral damage by making the public conversation more adversarial.
I learned maths mostly by teachers at school writing on a whiteboard, university lecturers writing on a blackboard or projector, and to a lesser extent friends writing on pieces of paper.
There was a tiny supplement of textbook-reading at school and large supplement of printed-notes-reading at university.
I would guess only a tiny fraction learn exclusively via typed materials. If you have any kind of teacher, how could you? Nobody shows you how to rearrange an equation by live-typing latex.
