That is quite untrue, especially for Germany. Germany does not only siphon off unskilled (mostly seasonal) laborers from eastern Europe. We also draw in a lot of their educated workforce, which is especially apparent and problematic in fields like medicine, where doctors and nurses wander westward and are the missing in their countries of origin.
Why is that, exactly?

Potatoes, Carrots, Corn, Mushrooms... All grow fine in buckets. All grow fine hydroponically.

The confounding factor here, I suspect, is the explosive growth in the sheer number of blogspam websites. Passive income coaches have been pumping out courses on affiliate link blogs for years now, so lots of people have dozens or hundreds of them, and that noise likely drowns out the signal of people putting more thought into choosing a framework for a site they actually care about.

My problem is that I don’t know of a good way to determine what improvement. I think it’s hard to design a study and measure.

And I think there’s a deontological vs. utilitarian aspect as I think if applicants learned I was randomly picking 1 of 30 pretty goods it would discourage high quality applicants.

For me, I think the additional 100 hours interviewing helps and is worth it.

I’d be interested in hearing of hiring managers and orgs who just hire randomly from minimally qualified applicants. I hear from lots of applicants who claim they are minimally qualified that this is a successful strategy. But, naturally, they are a bit biased and not very useful for deciding how to hire people.
The fact that you could have a more highly paid job elsewhere does not excuse you from the responsibility to do your current job.
Jevon’s Paradox [0] suggests that it won’t; the freed up resources will just be used for other things.

Tooling for 3D modeling/texturing/rigging/etc is significantly more complex and powerful than it was 20 years ago, yet Pixar doesn’t need fewer artists for a movie today compared to Toy Story - in fact quite the opposite.

AI techniques useful to artists will get folded in the tooling and enable artists to make even more detailed/complex games & movies, but that doesn’t mean the AAA games of 2030 will require fewer artists.

However, talented small teams will likely be able to leverage them to create things that would have been inconceivable from a small team a decade ago.

Terrior is marketing gobbledygook on top of the genuine flavor differences which actually make the product taste like something interesting and worth drinking. (Even outside of wine — my New Zealand oolong tea was grown somewhere rocky, and tastes nothing like what's grown in Taiwan.) I'm sure in principle you can find some way to wedge that flavor in artificially, but it's a massive hurdle to add on the path to a respectable product.

During the indie dev renaissance in the 2010's, procedurally generated content received a lot of investment and attention. (Today's marketers would call this AI generated content.)

The idea was that your small indie team could keep up with the big content demand since you had algorithms generating seemingly evergreen content for your players.

What happens in practice is that the players begin playing your game at a meta level, learning how the generative process itself works; effectively removing the benefit of procgen content. As an example, consider Spelunky which claims it can generate millions of unique caverns to explore. If you assess that claim visually, it's true. But watch the streamers play and you will see that they 'speak' the algorithm. By observing the shape of a cavern in one area of a map, they know the algorithm had to make a specific concession elsewhere in the map. So this content isn't really procedural for them anymore.

Even if the "AI" content generators get more intelligent, it won't free up resources. Mechanically interesting content, as demonstrated by the indie games of the last decade, is just a different form of handmade content. A designer hand made the procgen algorithms. Players ultimately bond with the designer(s), no matter what meta level they build the content at. In a hand-built game you might start to get a sense for where the designers hide treasure chests. In a procgen game you learn the algorithms themselves and how to predict and abuse them.

There's another form of game content, story content, which remains an edge for humans. Algorithms, or "AI" if you must, can't compete here. It would be the same as waiting for AI that can write award winning movie scripts.

The marriage of story content and mechanical content is a superior game-making formula to the procgen approach. So the _some point_ you refer to is probaby far away still.
I absolutley agree regarding the development of EV tech. The main reason I have my doubts about tesla fulfilling all the visions people seem to have about them is manufacturing. This is a well solved problem for existing car makers, so tesla's real value would be as a brand. I dont see batteries being the USP, same as I don't see engines right now, no matter what certain engine fanboys say. Also, Panasonic is usually not getting the credit it deserves when people talk about Tesla's battery tech. As long as Elon is at the helm and manages to sell the vision peopl what to hear, tesla should be fine so. the last two years taught me as much.

Not just a sediment filter, you need activated charcoal.

I live (and grew up) drinking groundwater downstream of a plume of PFOAs. Wolverine Worldwide (of Cat/HD/Hush Puppies/Merrell footwear brands) made waterproof leather goods in my hometown of Rockford, MI. In the 60s and 70s, they dumped barrels of leather scraps and excess 3M Scotchgard in woods and swamps in the area. They knew it was dangerous (they used PPE when handling it), but when it was phased out in the 90s they forgot about all the old dump sites until someone sued them in the last few years. Now they've been forced to install thousands of carbon filters in homes across the area, and most of us who have been on well water will eventually be moved to city water. Fortunately, the testing has proven that the carbon canisters are highly effective - my well went from 80ppt to non-detectable - but they're expensive to maintain, and I spent 30 years drinking the stuff...

Because poor land use, like monoculture tree plantations, is likely equally as bad as atmospheric CO2 increase for the health of the earth.

Additionally, biogas is at best carbon neutral/slightly positive rather than carbon negative. Since you're still producing CO2 burning stuff, but it does get mostly reabsorbed by plants every cycle.

They're also dropping fast, just a little behind the curve but not much different from every one else.
What I have gathered boils down to: the RISC-V core instruction set is simple but there are too many extensions.

The way they intend to speed up RISC-V processors is simply by throwing more hardware at it, hoping that at some point x86 and ARM will hit a complexity roadblock so that throwing even more hardware is simply not possible for them.

For example, the idea of keeping the instruction set simple means you can start off with a non super scalar architecture and get energy efficiency for micro controllers. Once you keep up with the giants you can throw extreme macro op fusion into the pile. Macro op fusing up to 6 instructions is extremely difficult on RISC-V but it's impossible on ARM and x86. So eventually RISC-V will win simply because you can throw more transistors at the problem. Scaling up instruction decoding is viable on ARM and RISC-V but the smaller instruction set means you can have more decoders on RISC-V.

However, doubling or tripling the number of decoded instructions per clock cycle is only relevant because RISC-V programs need more instructions in the first place to encode the same program.

They said in the last image description that it was likely from the spacecraft itself though. Saying “it’s under investigation “ just means they wanted to get the images out ASAP before they had the team investigate the origin.
Yes, I understood the meaning, and stand by my refinement. However the passage you quote is devoid of argument and full of emotion (and to be fair so is much of the article), it is not the type of information for which I am suggesting a penalty is inappropriate.

When presented with a true argument, information that can be reasoned about or verified, this is where penalization is not appropriate - healthy skepticism ensures you are critical of it, but an attitude of penalization adds a handicap to every argument produced by a committed person regardless of any truth it could hold.

When the argument is almost entirely emotional however I'm inclined to agree - a negative weighting is reasonable.
No, because it breaks down into CO2.

It will take such a long time to get realistic VR, that we will have direct neural interfaces that are much simpler because they can skip the encoding/decoding.

Another way to look at it would be a low risk way to desensitize you to it. Hang up on the first few. Say 'hey' to the next few. Make up a name and give it to the next few. Along the way you'll hear someone that's intriguing or engaging in a way that suits you and the conversation will flow a bit.

I think it's a technology we should continue to develop, because at the moment we have a relatively freely flowing global economy that allows for the exotic fruit and vegetable availability that we are used to. That is unlikely to always be the case, and not every country has vast acres to spare on food production should they lose the ability to compete or participate in the global market.

Indonedia, Turkey and Egypt are next for you if you want your mind blown; the monolithic structures there are way older and far more intricate than a cup and are going back +10,000 years: Gunung Padang, Gobekli Tepe and possibly some of the older Egyptian Pyramids if you follow modern archeological studies on time periods that depict water erosion from rain in the Nile.

Graham Hancock's work is what confirmed my innate intuition that Agriculture has to be older than the claimed ~10,000 years as it is just to complex of a technology and a Scientific discipline to not be: these monoliths are a testament of Human ingenuity as that complex level of division of labour and highly specialized engineering, infrastructure and planning are only possible because of surpluses of food and water in civilization. Everyone I know that's been there dismisses the propaganda that the pyramids were 'built by slaves' as it falls flat on its face when they see the level of intricacy and precision required to build a symmetrical pyramid with no variation its construction, its baffling to me that for all of our amazing technology we struggle to come close to this day using modern tools and equipment and probably can't make something similar from those materials. And yet there it is a monolith that stood the test of time and is only a dull glimmer of what it was in it's peak when Egypt served as the beacon for Human knowledge but also serves as a reminder of what we're capable of when we collectively apply ourselves to an endeavor that defies all possible expectations of what is/was thought to be possible. And we still haven't excavated most of what is at Gunung Padang as it goes down very deep and is only visualized through radar.

I've never been myself, but I hope to go to all 3.
