From a technical perspective, yeah, I'd say it's a bit more complicated.

But establishing agreement with another human means I have to establish a common language with them, then work out what we're agreeing to, then establish some set of mutual trust between us (usually involving some form of identity verification, even if it's a "who are you on twitter?" level of thing). And then we perpetually have to track that the other person's incentives haven't changed outside of the contract in such a way that violating it would be more profitable. The effort involved in all of that scales very poorly, especially from the service provider's perspective.

On the other hand, if someone wishes to operate in good faith, their incentive is to make the smart contract as simple as possible, and as amenable to independent verification from outside parties (as well as theorem provers).

And no one has to worry about establishing mutual trust with the other person, or that they'll just change their mind in the future. Even if a contract is upgradable, if you only choose to work with ones that are either immutable, or require a timelock / voting period before changes take effect, you (collectively all the consumers of the contract) know your margin of safety.

And that margin of safety is provided because you can trust the base layer is itself immutable and secured. Whereas with risk mitigation through bonds etc, who is the trusted third party we mutually agree to hold our deposits? how do each of us trust that third party isn't in league with one of us? (I trust the "Certified Bank of Nigeria In England", but do you?).

That's the core bit that a smart contract platform like Ethereum provides -- a base layer for establishing mutual trust in objective terms. You can build whatever manner of agreements on top of such a base layer, but if the base layer isn't there, each separate agreement (expensively) requires the two parties find some common ground.

Looks like Amazon are now outsourcing the writing of emails to the same people in Bangalore who operate their live chat help.

PayPal used to send out emails with warnings about account security / phishing etc. with from addresses like <impossibly long sting of random characters>.service@paypal.com

ie. exactly the kind of addresses scammers use to disguise the true origins of an email, by making the address so wide the real sender's domain falls outside the bounds of the text box.
Buy new hardware and just do the IT yourself - it is seriously not hard. That's the other side of cloud propaganda: running an maintaining servers is easy peasy..
It's already been beta tested. That's the point of Phase 3 trials.
Despite the rather explicitly explanation I still have absolutely no idea how people go about deciding how and wear to start on such insane exploits.
> which is pretty straightforward

The problem is that trucks are one of the things that needs to be right essentially every time. If a truck is right 99.9% of the time it is doing considerably worse from a financial liability standpoint than a truck driver.

One truck accident of any severity will incur liability expenses in the millions and often tens of millions of dollars. And with automated trucks there are no owner operators to externalize that liability to.

Outsourcing truck driving via tele-driving on the other hand, seems incredibly likely if regulatory questions can be answered.
And therein lies the problem. That context switching comes with a cost. It's like trying to identify the eggs, chocolate chips, and flour once you've started mixing. You can do it (up to a point of course--recognizing this is where the analogy fails) but it's so much easier to do when they're not mixed together.

This is so wrong in so many ways. Google shouldn't restate anything I type in (this is my opinion, but it's based on solid ethics and a decent understanding of good software engineering practices).

Also, everything about Google's "answer" is wrong, from the date, to the people, to the singleton response to a question that should have multiple answers.

Let's all move to DuckDuckGo and Yandex.
Ultimately, automation is good because it means more goods and/or services to more people. More goods and services means that society as a whole can support more people.

A lot of American life is tied down to your job however. That seems to be the problem: health care is tied to your job, retirement benefits are often tied to your job (401k or pension), etc. etc. One can argue that its the overemphasis of your job that's the problem... not the grossly improved productivity due to inventions.
Remember that the chain moves very slowly—-7 feet per minute.
This isn't my area of expertise, but I've spoken to computer vision researchers who apparently use generated data for training models for self-driving vehicle autonomy. Maybe they only use generated data for the train set and then do cross-validation on real data? I'd like to hear them chime in on this thread if any are reading here.

Theoretically speaking if the generated data has the same distribution and parameters as the real data [1], and encodes similar nonparametric features like seasonality and user activity, I think generated data might be fine. [2]

_________

1. Admittedly tricky if you have limited data and no insight into the underlying population distribution/features, just those of the sample. But then you have a worse problem for modeling diagnostics anyway.

2. In the sense that anything is "fine", which is a spectrum that requires some critical skepticism in statistics. There are always caveats but it may still be robust and useful.
How could numbers in a "controlled" trial be valid if they are arrived at by accident?
Guess I'm using the wrong words. To the left of my user name, next to the minimize/maximize buttons, I can switch (in my mind)... something. I guess tenant is the word, but in my mind that is the team.

I see now that what I've always thought of as "channels" is called Teams, no idea how I've overlooked that for over two years but there you go.

My point is in Discord I can be on a dozen different servers with different administrators and seamlessly go between them. Not so in Teams. I'm stuck to one tenant (team) at a time. Which sucks if you need to switch between them.
Yeah, you just feel you actually got it right.

> without considering that the more we automate away jobs, the less society will be able to pay for the goods and services that aren't automated.

That may not matter to those making these automation decisions. Ultimately, ownership is about power and control, not about actually satisfying the needs of the masses. As long as the owners at the top maintain their power and have their personal wants met, they may find the situation acceptable where the market ignores an expanding pool of penniless masses and focuses on a shrinking pool of other elites who still have money (see North Korea for a similar stable result from a different economic system).
They are leaving the power plant for last (cutting nose to stern) so the remaining part will always be the heaviest.

Same thing with transportation: a significant portion (if not the majority) of people would prefer to be serviced/employed by a serious company yet many drivers prefer to freelance and many customers prefer real people over corporations.

In fact I myself mostly use classic taxis and hotels but I understand the value of being able to choose the other model.
Very audacious. Looks like their approach was to illustrate the financial difficulties of the Canadian hosts and ask the government of Canada to help those people out. Classic situation where the lion's share of the financial risk is held by thousands of individuals instead of the central company, and this is probably what also let them avoid certain taxes in the first place.

Unfortunately, the first moon landing happened in 1969, which is an objective fact, so no, Google can't even verify basic facts.
Indeed. Provide robust safety nets and universal healthcare and we can proceed with Automating All The Things with wild abandon. Until then, based on the automation you’re building and deploying into the marketplace, you’re relegating subsets of workers to possible long term or permanent unemployment, despair, and possibly death (people die without health insurance, which many can’t get without an employer or holding on until they’re eligible for Medicare at 65, in the US).

At some point, we have to move past the concept of jobs as the measure.
Ask HN: What exponential technology growth is driving your 2021 strategy?
From KPIs, OKRs to personal goals.. its that time again to set out a strategy for 2021.
Although we still had the Covid thing this year, I've personally feel we're at the start of exponential development/growth in tech; e.g. for software like AI, ML its GPT-3 and for hardware its AMD outpacing intel or Apples' M1.
So that made me wonder;
What exponential technology growth is driving your strategy for 2021?
The article's point is that fewer managers are required as organizations become more automated, not that managers are being directly automated. However, I'm not sure I agree with the study author's statement "Because managers, by definition, supervise other human beings, so we really cannot replace their functions until the singularity occurs with artificial general intelligence."

This came up on HN a while ago: https://apenwarr.ca/log/20190926 . The thesis was: "To paraphrase the book, the job of an executive is: to define and enforce culture and values for their whole organization, and to ratify good decisions. That's all. Not to decide. Not to break ties. Not to set strategy. Not to be the expert on every, or any topic. Just to sit in the room while the right people make good decisions in alignment with their values. And if they do, to endorse it. And if they don't, to send them back to try again. There's even an algorithm for this." All of that sounds automatable to me using current or near-future technology.

Managers, especially middle managers, also do many other things; but they universally end up spending a whole lot of time in meetings. I'm not a manager, but my own role in many meetings feels automatable. In a handful of meetings I have to be there because I have detailed knowledge about the subject to share. In the other meetings I think it would honestly be fine for an AI that had learned to emulate my writing and speech to represent me in the conversation and write a summary for me afterward.

I'm not arguing that managers _will_ be automated anytime soon, just that AI probably _could_ automate some of the things that take up a big chunk of managers' time.

Hi Hackbraten, maintainer here.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry you didn't find the password! We're considering to add a uhs-hints.com-style guide in the future.

> I would love to see your source on that, most cities with any kind of taxi system have some permitting or medallion system that limits the number of taxis

It's an assumption because the medallion system is very US-centric. Permits/taxi drivers license, if that's what you mean, isn't much more than a minimum qualification requirement and not a hard limit.

> Do you view this as a negative? because I do not

Yes? Because that's a ~100 year regression in most developed nations and I empathize with the people on the receiving end of that kind of hat-in-hand relationship. To not see this as a negative suggests to me a worryingly low empathy with the less fortunate and perhaps even nostalgia to a strict class-society, because that's the end result of a race-to-the-bottom unfettered capitalism.
outside of the major east coast (and maybe some west coast?) cities, US interstates tend to be pretty straightforward and well-marked. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw trucks driving themselves most of the length of I-70 in the near future. they would have to stop in some conditions where a human driver could keep going, but in ideal conditions, they could also keep driving when a human would be required to sleep.
Wonderful take. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t find this information and there are way too many policies to sift through. It doesn’t seem unlikely or abnormal, though. Do you think many wearable manufacturers aren’t sharing or selling data like this?

Is it perhaps so the fabbed chips can have hundreds of different user projects in, and then activate/switch on only one?

There must be some benefit to this frame, or they wouldn't force its use...
Yes. The article mentions sections 3 to 6 aren't strong enough, so a drydock will be used instead of the chainsaw cutting.

Agreed. It is as much a management challenge as an engineering one. Consolidating disparate data silos, iterating on the right algorithm architectures, setting up APIs in the right places, finding the right balance/split between AI and human efforts... You have to bring the right pieces together rather than just injecting the latest DL innovation into your enterprise (it won't work).

> No young person had any issues.

This isn't true. In my country we've had 25-35 deaths in people under 45 from Covid-19. So the death rate is very very small, but its not zero.

Including deaths of people under 25. These people may have had existing co-morbidities of course, but not all of them might have known they had those co-morbidities.

A lot of hospitalizations of people under 45 too.

I'm sure many, including myself, have experienced this issue very personally and tragically. Both parties were correct in your example. In my case I was the patient advocate and would argue very strongly on the side of the doctor. Your partners case has merit as well, however, as malpractice insurance and lawsuits are impacting healthcare costs and risk management decisions considerably.

Well, looking at the other comments, it seems I was right. Many comments are about how shallow the article is from a technical point of view.
This isn't "fast" we just have low expectations of our government. The FDA in the US is taking 3 weeks to reviews, about 5-10% of the entire time to develop this is just to schedule this (3rd to last) meeting. All while over a thousand people die per day (so during this waiting period something like 10x the lives of 9/11).

We just spent 9 months trying to lift the ban on this vaccine. We have the technology to beat pandemics, we only lack the regulatory structure.

Vaccines are typically so safe and effective that for high risk populations taking a completely untested vaccine would be expected to (a) be effective and (b) safer than covid. So approving this was maybe the easiest call in medical history, and from first principles could have taken 1 day to approve for high risk groups.

We need a regulatory framework for fast approval anyway, if we ever want to have personalized medicine. With mRNA vaccines now in play, we can beat so many things if the regulatory environment lets us.

As far as I understand it, that's not the sort of thing Ethereum contracts would cover. The contract is just an computer agreement between trustless systems to run code. Vitalik Buterin has said he regrets the term "smart contracts" because of the usual meaning of the word contracts:
