It's not a very American mindset because the unions have been stomped on and it's hard to find a decent job now.

Used to be that a (white cis male) person could go get a union job out of high school and they were set until a comfortable retirement with pension. Good luck finding that sort of security now.
Until I have something resembling Iron Man's Jarvis with at least a subvocal interface, I think there's still a long way to go for "continuous" computing. I currently still have to pull out a discrete device and remove myself from other interactions to deal with it. If I'm not on that device all the time, then I don't have continuous computing. Maybe continuously available computing is more accurate?

If a union can't form an exclusivity agreement with a company, then all exclusivity agreements between any type of organization should be banned. That would be true freedom of association.

software skills can't be developed easily either, yet programmers have powered through, persevered, and figured it out. where would programmers be if they shied away from skills they couldn't develop easily?

also, if you have underdeveloped social skills, you are not 'basically your best self'. i believe in the tech men! i believe that they can put their cleverness & perseverance to work developing their social skills! you can do it!
You can probably also use an analogue to:

How much does this matter? (Really asking, I know nothing of this industry, nor film.)

What I mean is, beyond enjoying seeing your name, does it make a big difference in landing subsequent jobs to have your name publicly listed at this size / under this heading / etc. on past work? Do companies hiring you go and check what you say against the credits, or how does this work?

I find myself looking things up on the internet a lot, and it occurs to me as a surprise to realize a lot of articles on "how to X" or "what causes Y" contain no real content at all.

Why? Because all of those articles are written by people paid a small amount of money to do quick research and write something in less than half a day. Most of them probably even haven't even read a single book on the subject.

It's so much better to read about something and get that broadband information, to encounter an obscure fact that sheds new light on something or makes the whole thing click.
> Syncing carbs is an art.

I fail to see how it's an art at all.

This is perfectly and trivially measurable, it's rudimentary science.

You can construct a manometer from a U of clear vinyl tubing with some water inside, affix one per throttle. If there isn't an existing vacuum port per throttle provided for this purpose, you improvise extensions on the inlets for your hose barbs to tap into.

At that point you just adjust things until the water levels are even.

FTFY: The lobbyist for bible printing companies says that they could not compete on price if we stopped printing bibles in China, so they requested a tariff exemption.

In the end, the lobbyist is trying to continue to keep a cheap source of production so profit margins from sales are higher. If printed in the US, their costs would be higher so they would not make as much per bible, and any price increases to the consumer would be slower than their cost rise so they kept demand relatively high. (Speculating, but typically consumers don’t like rapid price spikes)

Really gets down to cheap labour competitive(or anti-competitive perhaps) advantage that make production of some products cheaper and any local offering unable to compete.

If you had a product and both identical, one made in America, other in China, the later one costs half the price, both same quality. How many would pay the extra for something made locally - is it gets down to exactly that and why many local industry has died or shifted away.

Same thing is playing out with high street's and shopping malls with internet shopping. How many of those internet consumers will be the first to moan that they can't pop into a local shop any more as it has closed down.

Consumer loyalty is and always pretty much been price/quality over country loyalty. Ironically brand loyalty holds more water than country of manufacture. For me personally, the last time country of manufacture was a thing was in the 70's/early 80's for electronic goods with Japan having as a country the same level of brand loyalty that Apple has today.

But things change, robots are advancing and production line automation with robots is always improving. You may well see manufacturing comming home, albeit done by robots as that is the only way your going to see competitive balance against cheap labour. Though, how many then will have that ethical quandary about what happened to all that cheap labour that is no longer needed. But then, price/quality always seem to be the main drivers and I'm not seeing that change anytime soon. But I'd love to be wrong upon that.
I hate being told what words I have to use. No it's not literal harm. But it's unpleasant. And it's not just my personal taste, but clearly the that of others.

So that's the empathy to show: for people who hate being directed how to think and express themselves by complete strangers. For free society in general.

See how it goes both ways? Empathy is only a mode of thinking. You are demanding compliance. You're not even empathizing yourself, since you can't see past your own notion of how you want people to interact. "Inappropriate", "modern", "decent", "understanding" are all just passive-aggressive weasel words for your subjective norms. True understanding doesn't insist on others to perfect themselves to your comfort.

Useful knowledge might include sucking on nipples, being afraid of snakes and spiders, being wary of fire, sexual drives after puberty, and so on.

As far as units, why not bits?

> Here is an analogy: consider movies.

I agree that going from a zygote to an adult animal is a
complicated process. There's the genome, the process of development, and a complex mixture of sensory data and actions. And yes, that doesn't do justice to the complexity.

But the question here is how much innate data. Not how substantial a role that data plays. So as a first approximation, wouldn't that be the script? Or maybe the script plus the video file?

> It's a very similar situation with the nature-vs-nurture question (which is really what this is).

I wasn't seeing it that way. There's no question that the environment plays a crucial role in development. But I don't see how any of that can create knowledge of past events. Which is what "innate knowledge" means to me.
The analogy I often use is houses. Think of all the components used to build a complete house. One can use the same bricks, wood, tile, etc, to build many different houses. But the location of these components in the house is not enough, the order in which they are added is critical.

The genome must encode all the components used to make an organism, as well as the instructions on how and when to use these components.
Intuitively it makes sense to me. I can see how someone who makes 160K might feel a bit better about himself than someone who makes 80K, but that's not really happiness is it? It's some kind of contentment. And how much happier is he? He makes 2x as much so he's 2x happier? Obviously the correlation more money = more happiness isn't strong and declines after a certain amount.

Society is made of achievements we did not perform. This sort of hyper-individualist rejection of our sense of community is incredibly bleak and depressing to me.

What is the logical conclusion? How far do you take it? Should I, say, not be proud of my children's accomplishments? After all, I didn't do them, they did. I'm a musician and play in bands. Should I not be proud of things my band has accomplished? What my band does is stuff that I can't do alone, and they can't do without me.

Obsessively focusing on the individual and rejecting one's role in society is nihilistic and alienating. If you gotta do it, I suppose you do you, but please don't drag me into your sad, lonely world. I'm going to enjoy my place in my family, my town, my country, etc.

> artificial intelligence gets equated with a Jarvis-like general AI that will talk to you like a superhuman servant

to be fair, for a lot of researchers, that is the ultimate end goal, even for those who admit we are not even close to it. I for one first got interested in AI from an 80's movie, can't remember which, with a character who talked to his computer, which talked back. Since those early years, I haven't spent even one second working on actual AGI, seeing the plethora of subgoals needed to get there, but.. thinking about it.. plenty. that dream is a driving force behind more ML/AI researchers than maybe you think. Particularly in the RL community I would guess.

> Governments can take away your freedom and life, corporations can not.

I guess that depends on how you define freedom. If it merely means to exist outside of a prison, then sure. On the other hand, if freedom means the freedom to live, to gain autonomy and mastery over ones' self, etc. then corporations are affecting your freedom and life every day through manipulation, pollution, lobbying, and anti-competitive behavior. The government is the only bulwark we have to effectively check social manipulation.

I am not making the argument against unions, perhaps the example provided above. Not all unions are created equal. Unions can be a good thing to enact change and are proven to work in creative fields as Hollywood could attest. That being said, Hollywood seems to take dump on many post production services and VFX which traditionally don't have unions. The nature of the work also allows for the work to be farmed out to companies all over the world.
That's saying that being in a union is cost-free. I suspect it's not. There's usually dues of some kind, and if you're in a union shop the rules may be less flexible - not just for the company, but for you. And the rules being less flexible for the company may have consequences for you.

That said, insurance costs, too, but most of us have it...

You do realize AMD has surpassed intel right? Their chips are cheaper, a much better value, and in this case, 4xxx mobile is looking to beat the pants off of intel.

Intel sat around for too long because they weren't forced to compete. Now they are stuck at 14nm with no end in sight. Meanwhile amd is on 7nm and looking at 5nm.

With amd you get a better deal, more cores, higher clock speed, better power consumption, and a better gpu with the 4xxx mobile line.

Can you explain to me why a union leader should earn many times more than the median union worker? Enforcing that they don't earn more than median workers would increase solidarity and be more fair, but as far as I know no unions have such a policy. Why do you think they don't do it?
> why not bits?

Because bits are a unit of information, not knowledge. Not the same thing.

But even if you're really interested in information and not knowledge that's still a problem. You can easily measure the information content of the human genome because we know how it's encoded. It's much harder to measure the information content of the human brain because we don't yet have a complete grip on how it works.

> I don't see how any of that can create knowledge of past events.

That depends on what you mean by "past events". If you really mean individual one-off events, there is no known mechanism for that kind of information to get encoded in a genome. If you mean general information about the world acquired through "experience" (where having natural selection act on your population counts as "experience"), that could be encoded in a combination of information that resides in the genome and information that resides in the environment, where the structure of the brain is part of the environment (of the genome). We just don't know.
> I am saying that running your own show or a show with other people

If you're running your own thing then you aren't a worker. You aren't part of the union. Your input on union activities is not valuable, because you are the opposition.
