Cellular automata have a built in speed limit, so it could be something like that. If one cell's state depends on only its immediate neighbors state, then logically no object can move faster than one cell diameter per frame. And if you had shared state between two non-adjacent cells in certain limited cases, that could create "faster than light" behavior.
Automation doesn’t solve every problem. Sometimes you want human interaction and there’s no reason that can’t be a part of the cost.

>I think this comes close to space pollution if they aren’t able to provide a tangible benefit to people on earth.

But they are providing a tangible benefit to people on Earth. Maybe it doesn't benefit you personally or you think the costs outweigh those benefits so it is a net negative, but let's not pretend that there is zero benefit.
I wouldn't be a good cook, but I get what you're saying. I miss the jobs I had when I was young that were just repetitive tasks, once muscle memory was established, you could work a shift and have a fresh mind with no stress as soon as the shift ended. I suppose it would be nice if I had my current income with that type of job but alas it was also very unsatisfying to do for a long period of time and I think I'd feel a bit unaccomplished for doing that job for a career.
Thank you for this. I stopped meditating for a while after I stopped judging things like my own happiness or lack of happiness. I find greater meaning in life by striving for happiness and solving problems rather than accepting things as they are without judgement.

I do appreciate meditating though to observe the background thoughts that are consuming energy as you mentioned. But I like my conviction and plan to keep it :)
It used to be. When ordering food in a restaurant was a special thing for special occasions. It was expensive to eat out and the workers were compensated for it. Then we got to a place where food was supposed fast, cheap and accessible to everyone at any time. And suddenly you couldn't charge a lot for your food and worker wages stagnated. Sure more people work in the restaurant industry than they ever did before, but that's what happens. Quantity over quality in almost any service industry always means abundance of the service at the expense of the workers. Take a look at the rideshare business.

Every industry is full of charlatans and poor advice. Unfortunately, some cost you more than just lost money or lost time.

In this case, however, the participants may more likely be vulnerable. They are seeking some solution to their problems, and mindfulness is promoted as one. As the author makes the case, it really was a solution to his problems. But it seems he took it too far.
I fully agree with respect to global high speed internet. However, I'd point out that if being able to contact someone in an emergency even in remote locations is someone's concern, that technology already exists in the form of personal locator beacons (which can also send and receive texts) using existing satellites.

In theory I agree, although in practice the experience is a lot different due to 1. less security theater (even in China, HSR security isn't as bad as American flights), 2. The vehicle itself is generally pleasant to ride on, as opposed to the turbulence, the takeoff/landing, and the air pressure that a passenger on a flight experiences, 3. It generally feels more scenic / touristy in the train because you can see the mountains and villages go by.

I really hate that ideas are worthless. It's really gatekeeping as in "pull up a chair son and let me tell you about how I executed on my ideas and made a lot of money, while you sit there doing nothing with yours." It's like comparing painters by the amount of money their paintings fetch. People like to paint. Sometimes they make a good painting that doesn't sell for anything. Then along comes Thomas "master of light" Kinkade who tells a young painter, "you aren't making any money with your paintings, so they're worthless, while I make millions with mine"
This of course only applies to visible light, they will be visible in infrared no matter what.
I think the Texas high speed rail is running into issues with eminent domain along its proposed route and they're trying to use some 1800's era law to get around the lawsuits from the landowners looking to cash in.

I have spent thousands of hours honing my software craft outside of work/school hours. I guarantee you most folks working those minimum wage jobs are not doing the same in their field. If they were passionate about it (whether front of house or in the kitchen) they would also hone their craft and work their way out of minimum wage.

The problem is that the turnover rate in restaurants is ALREADY very high. Most employees see it as a “stepping stone” while they get their careers on track.
Maglev or other high speed rail (by highspeed I mean 300km-400km/h, not this 1960s stuff California is talking about) is fine for dense cities between 200 and 1000km apart where there's enough traffic to justify the line (i.e. 200,000 passengers a day in each direction over the bulk of the line -- 1000 seats at 20 trains per hour in each direction)

For much under 200km there's starts to be little benefit to high speed (10 minutes - station design and frequency far more important)

For more than 1000km then you'll struggle to compete with planes -- although a 600kph maglev probably works at most scales -- certainly upto 3000km.

> Which raises the question of why anyone would work, if doing whatever you want and still living a comfortable life was an option.

People with literally billions of dollars of wealth still devote time and energy to earning more. I don't think its a stretch to think that people who merely have enough for tolerable food, clothing, shelter will continue to do so.
Strongly disagree with this. If Earth based infrastructure was better there wouldn't be as much need for satellite based services at this scale. Depriving people of the opportunity to look at the natural sky, without it being besmirched by human objects, is a terrible downside.

It's bad enough that many people in light polluted cities can barely see major stars, never mind Andromeda or subtler constellations.
Folks raise that spectre when a living wage is mentioned. "So many service jobs lost!" I shake my head at that - folks who imagine themselves Free Market advocates, and here they are agreeing with Karl Marx that a capitalist system can't survive without a slave-wage class to prop it up.

Paying everybody a living wage should be the minimum bar for any economy. If ours can't do it, we need a different one.

You seem to be under the impression that rich people tip more. From what I have seen, and from many friends in the service industry, this is simply false. You’re far more likely to get no tip from someone driving a Mercedes than someone driving a junker, at least around where I am.
You seem to be operating under the assumption that an integrated product will necessarily be cheaper, as opposed to simply more convenient.

That's definitely not a necessary result of a combined product offering, but it's interesting to think about.
Cutting the time by nearly 60% is definitely more than nice. You could actually have people commute daily on the 40 minute ride, the 97 minute ride not so much.
T440p checking in - picked mine up for $80 with a dead screen and got it up to snuff for < $50 due to a good find on ebay for a new panel. I also consider the cost of a SSD as part of the base cost for my Thinkpad fleet - so easily +$20-30 on the cheap-end.

Even with the above SSD upgrade, $250 is a bit much for a bog-standard T440 - recycling centers have them here working for approx $150 USD, usually the i5 variants.

Here's my story from the industry I was a part of for a better part of a decade: One time while I was a line cook, I was cleaning a meat slicer and sliced 3/4ths of the way through the tip of my thumb (just the meaty part at the end, not bone or anything). I realized I had 2 options: Leave work, go to the ER, miss my shift/pay, and incur a bunch of medical debt I could barely afford OR; leave work, go to the CVS around the corner, buy a bottle of superglue, and patch myself back up. My boss even told me if I just needed to run to CVS, I wouldn't need to clock out, what a great guy! This was at an upscale Italian place on the Asbury Park boardwalk that was doing millions of dollars in sales every year.

When I left the industry to go into tech, I never looked back. I will always have a love/hate relationship with the industry. I love the creativity, the people, the experience of dining. I hate everything about the exploitative labor practices. I wish everyone leaving the industry good luck on their new, hopefully better paths. I wish every manager crying poor and bemoaning that nobody wants their poverty wages in a physically crushing industry a very fuck you.
I bought a house three years ago. It burned down one year ago. I am buying another house this month that is 40% more expensive, and will be paying less on a monthly basis. This is due to (1) rolling over money invested into the first house, and (2) stupidly low interest rates.

If you can realistically afford a house, I don't see how renting could ever make sense, at least not when the prices are close. Basically, consider a mortgage payment as a rental payment where they match 50% of your rent into a nice investment fund you can cash out anytime you like.

I tend to filter my searches to my criteria do I dont see many interesting jobs that I would be unqualified for (my location, my level or one up, etc)
I see. Thank you for the explanation. Indeed, we mean slightly different things.

Have you ever (I would be surprised if you never ever had, but perhaps this doesn't happen to you often) went outdoors and then suddenly started wondering if you have turnt off the stove/iron, locked the door and taken the key with you? This happens to me every day because I always exit "unconsciously" in the meaning of the word I intended. When we go together with my wife she would ask me "have you taken the key"? I respond "yes" automatically (here I am speaking but "unconsciously") because such is the habit and I am "daydreaming" ("unconscious" as I label it) at the moment, we lock the door (it locks itself when closed) and then I always feel a boost of adrenaline (in such a degree I have even started taking beta-blockers as this caused heart ache) and think "have I? bloody hell! I probably haven't, we will have to call a locksmith, wait an hour and pay $100 to get back in" (and occasionally this turns out to be the case). Then I become "conscious" and tell myself it's not a big deal, whatever, check the pockets calmly (usually finding the key) and go on. The very phenomenon of such strong anxiety at the moment itself takes place because I still am not really "conscious" at it (if I were I wold understand it's not a big deal). This wouldn't occur if I were leaving the home "consciously". I could put a huge red "wake up" sign on the inside of my door but I know I will get used to it soon and it will stop working.

The "doorway effect" has even gotten some scientific recognition recently[1].

Another example of unconscious speaking is when I am reading or writing something and somebody talks to me - I get less than 30% of what they say and "consciously" answer "yes" to everything then have no idea what did I agree with (and often can't even remember I said anything). And this is not intentional behaviour - they started when I was reading and I was not "conscious" enough to make a "conscious decision" (I tend to believe this phrase is pretty standard English) and switching to just listening them.

This is what I meant.

I bought one but retuned it immediately. The software is just a dumpster fire. Slow, laggy, no sensible options to crop pdfs or research papers. Even the ebook reader is terrible compared with my kobo. I bought a remarkable because, even though the default reader is also pretty terrible (incredibly slow is the main issue) I figured there might be more of a community push to develop a good solution. I’m still waiting though, and basically haven’t switched to e ink for anything except reading novels yet.
Not what the paper discusses, but the title gives me a thought: can you train a neural net with a specific, predictable behavior that would generally go undetected but which you could use to your advantage? I suspect you could.

Imagine building an apparently useful trained model for finance which you have a special way to predict the behavior of and profit from. (This could also be likened to formal human finance education, which certain elite groups take advantage of, but I don't mean to go into conspiracy theory territory...)
> This seems a bit pessimistic, as I know plenty of people with 3 kids and pretty typical jobs…

"Living wage" may include having enough margin to save such that one may retire at something resembling a typical retirement age. If so, it's very easy to under-cut it and still be apparently doing fine, until age 70 when you have to keep working, through illness and pain, as a Wal-Mart greeter.

This also means responsible savers have to compete with borrowing-against-their-future types with no retirement savings, for things like housing or (relatedly) various scarce benefits for their kids. IMO it's a pretty strong argument against "freer" personal retirement account systems being the main mechanism of retirement savings, and for mandatory, strong public pension schemes.
> I'll mention that everyone (absolutely everyone) thinks nobody older than 14 should use that word.

Now you get it! It's kinda awesome I got to teach you a rhetorical device and you picked up on it so quickly.

How would it be a revolution? I used to fly between some of those cities easily when necessary, and the drive is pretty doable too. A train would be an interesting alternative to flying, depending on route and total times and stop locations, but I just don't see it enabling much truly "new."
Shuttleworth and Tito underwent a year of training, including 7 months at Star City. They also conducted scientific experiments while on the station. They are formally considered Spaceflight Participants by Roscosmos, the FAA and NASA. They weren't considered Cosmonauts or Astronauts, but that seems to be solely due to their non-professional status rather than their training or operational duties.
The best part is that while these two billionaires do their 'space hop', Elon is laughing the whole time and probably texted Jeff Bezos asking 'Hey have you seen my car? NVM, sorry, you probably were not close enough to see it.'

Edit: To be clear, I'm referring to the obvious feud with Jeff Bezos, I know he is friends with Richard.

Owner owns the building, he’s the HOA.

And biggest of all, he locked in his mortgage payment while rents went up 4x. And rents were still lower than cost of owning as housing prices priced in appreciation.
I wonder how fault tolerant maglev systems are. The tracks must have to be incredible straight and precise to have a train hovering over it at 600km/hr over those kinds of distances.

With traditional rail it's relatively simple to fix up parts of a track or have areas where trains need to slow down to accommodate tricky sections of track. Must be a lot more difficult to repair a maglev track section?

Also notable is the Broad Museum in Los Angeles. Their guards are also docents, so you are encouraged to talk to them about the art and ask them questions. After experiencing this more human interaction, it was a bit of a shock for me to go down the street to the Museum of Contemporary Art, where I asked a guard a question and they flat out rejected my asking, haha!

Arts workers need to be paid well and also have enriching roles in the museums. And I don't think this sort of thing necessarily requires a 4-year degree or whatnot. I believe people are naturally curious, and we need to lean into that.
And conversely there are clocks with smooth movement of the second hand, something I prefer because then there's no annoying ticking noise.
Wouldn't that end up costing $300k+ per house when you get to the really remote areas? I know some people that had to pay that amount to get a few houses connected up, and they weren't that far from civilization. Hard to imagine there is political will to spend that much taxpayer money on such a small portion of the population when it looks like Starlink will provide decent internet for a tiny fraction of the cost.
>There is nothing inherently evil about this stuff so why is it terrible that it is becoming more accepted/common?

I disagree, I think it's perverse that creators try to create artificial one-way relationships with their viewers, especially for kids, but also for people at large which aren't adapted to deal with these kinds of relationships (which imo is abusive).
I mean for websites to get paid at all this has to be the case. It could by your browser, os, whatever.
One could see how meditating could lead to a break like that. When you do something that connects your mind to the real and physical present inside your senses, which can suppress the reflections and noise from the way we interpret the representations of the world around us, coming back is jarring and panic inducing.

This bad meditation effect sounds like the same effects of hyper-paranoia from cannabis, or a "bad trip," on hallucinogens, which can have dramatic short term and pervasive long term effects.
> These launches are marketing events for their space tourism businesses!

Okay, so these launches aren't amusement rides for billionaires, they are marketing stunts to advertise amusement rides for other billionaires? Hard to see the difference tbh
If a marketing website/blog is not the thing you are selling, it very often does not make sense to host it yourself. Your time and energy is better spent focussing on other things, and paying a separate hosting/marketing company to manage that.

I can't say for certain that this is what happened here, and the irony is definitely there, but overall it's not valid to judge a company's reliability on a piece that is not what they are selling, and are likely to not even be managing themselves.

children used to just go to the workplace with adults and/or spending time nearby playing with other kids. it's the separation of children from adults that creates a problem, not the accounting of it (e.g., childcare cost figures), an extension of a victorian sterility to public life, trying to cast perfect images of idyllic lives for others to admire rather than living carefree.
