AI tends to accentuate many of the types that Foster describes, and the trends in Merton's rubric above.

AI millenarians (Musk, EA, MIRI) combine certainty that superintelligence will come about with concern that it will be bad. They are in Foster's "shouldn't" class.

AI boosters, which are most of the people working on AI in big tech and startups, are in the "could" bucket. They still see the rainbows, short term and long term.

AI pragmatists (Hinton, LeCun, Ng) minimize what AI can do, focus on near term gains, and on the difficulties in achieving them. These people are also mostly in big tech and startups, but usually closer to the code and the data. They are the "shoulds" and sometimes the "mights".

But there are a couple other dimensions to AI that I'm not sure I have the right words for.

There's a certain kind of person who is more of an adventurer. They just want to be close to the action, almost regardless of the outcome. They are building AI, sometimes very powerful AI, but the ultimate consequences of that work are less important than the fact that they, as individuals, are at the fulcrum of this historical moment.

And there is a large faith-based element to AI, which I suspect applies to other futurist topics to a lesser extent. And that faith-based framework creates tribal arguments about unfalsifiable claims, like the advent of superintelligence. Instead of "should" or "should", they fit into the "will" class, and they provoke skepticism that is just as strong and irrational. Pragmatists sometimes tip over into this group.

It may not matter to you, but it definitely matters to me and to my point about professionals acting professionally. Uber is not a good example of responsible self-regulation; it's instead about them getting reined in by other circumstances.

Some quotes from his "Notes on Group Work":

> I am convinced by the experience of others: It is good for students to work in small groups. There are so many reports about the success of this idea that it has to be accepted as valuable. It will be implemented in different ways, and the comments from Ithaca about group projects are representative:

> "The approach changed the students' attitudes toward mathematics. The projects engage the curiosity of the good students and challenge them, but this does not come at the expense of average and weaker students. In fact, cooperative work with good, motivated students bolsters the others.'

> "A common fear about groups is that one student may do nothing but still get the same grade as the members who did all the work. This has not been a great problem . . . (others say the same). Students experience cooperative learning. They talk to each other about mathematical ideas and they form friendships with other mathematics students."

> I personally believe that we too often lose sight of the human part of learning mathematics.

Basically the LaMal basic insurance is not allowed to make a profit, so you get them aggressively trying to upsell you on complementary insurance.
"Tool" is still a class, with perhaps very generic polymorphic methods (e.g. do_default_action() ). The problem is not polymorphism per se, but rather about having a deep class hierarchy aka lasagna code.

My policy: OOP is like salt. Use little and that's great. I only allow a single inheritance layer, and ideally no inheritance at all.

Or any other is the point. I mean even locally I depend on commits as save points to just allow me to go crazy and experiment with the code. I mean you can just copy the codebase elsewhere as backup but using git or mercurial is easier than that.
What would you propose to those who don't want to belong to tribe or act on faith?

I stand on the ground where people who chose not to take the risk, no matter how "the tribe" will see it, should not be forced to follow the tribe's ways. If we don't start treating each others with respect our future looks very dark, we have seen it almost century ago where certain group of people was accused of spreading plague. End everyone was waving scientific proofs. Those people ended up in camps and gas chambers, I hope this is not what's going to happen again.
Actually extremely easy. Git add -a, git commit, git push.

The broad trends have been

1. the rise of regulations, reflected in the rise in the number of regulatory agencies, the number of people employed by regulatory agencies, the budget of regulatory agencies, the percentage of occupations requiring an occupational license (5 to 29% between 1950 and today) and the size of the federal code of regulations. Here is just one horror story that comes out of this trend: https://youtu.be/6M3P8sT4IFg

Why Bob why! I kid you not, just 2 days ago I typed your name in the Amazon search box to see if this book would show up even if for pre-orders, but it didn't show. I had some $work money to spend on educational resources and I wanted to buy this book! I ended up buying other books.

But seriously congratulations! I'll happily spend my own money to support all the effort you put into this!

Yes! Another thing I love about FP is the simplicity of terms. So like how you mention a return value can flow through different modules, if you wanted to do something like that in OO, you’d have to come up with a concept for what the new object is (ie, Service or what have you) which in turn has to take an object, breaking the whole “data and behaviour combined” idea. In FP, you just have modules. You don’t have think much past that a module is a group of functions that work on a certain data structure and other modules might also work on that data structure and that is fine (though of course you’ll want to hide those behind another module and delegate if you are dealing with a complex model, but that is a whole other problem that also exists in OO).
I find that the Rust ecosystem is shaping nicely for audio-related stuff, and found this forum, so sharing it here.
I really recommend interlinear editions for Latin. And also again want to mention Lingua Latina Per Se. If you are ever in NYC there's East Village bookstore that has a lot of interlinear editions in Latin at affordable price. Other than that, you can also get Winnie the pooh in latin on amazon and another edition in english and read them in parallel.

There's also wizard of oz in latin which is a lot longer than Winnie the pooh (and more interesting), but it's hard to find and expensive, alas.
It’s much cheaper to do a pilot project this way.
Well, if you deeply understand the code and reasons behind it (or it's superbly documented esp. with tests), the tool does not bring much beyond being a convenient backup or checkpoint system.

And especially if you don't have to work with a team.
I am excited to see where these questions lead.
I don't think "Other companies have made fraudulent claims too" is a valid defense. The federal government choosing to go after a company that has delivered on less of its claims seems reasonable given limited resources to prosecute this sort of thing.

Especially as Tesla has done a great job of going right up to the border on misleading claims, and even stepped its toes over the line a bit, but not in a way that would be as easy to prosecute as the more blatant Nikola.
Agreed as well. Naomi seems to have a lot of drama follow her around.

This is a really great movie - I know it’s popular in Europe, but many Americans don’t know about it.

It’s worth watching and pretty relevant to issues today with surveillance and political risk.
I thought Elon was the Electric car maker most likely to get caught perpetuating a fraud?
Nikola is probably at the same stage - if not ahead - of Tesla when it comes to trucks.

How much would a Tesla with only prototype Semis and a factory under construction be valued at? About $5 BB actually sounds quite right, maybe even undervalued depending on cultist zealotry and SEC enforcement levels.
I mean using SCM became the norm in maybe last 10-15 years ? When this was started I don't think using SCM was as ubiquitous as it is today, not to mention on a solo project. If you've been hammering away since then I can see how you might have missed it.

Ruby is still very popular, and Crystal's syntax is heavily inspired (i.e. very familiar) by Ruby. This is similar to Julia's approach of making the language syntactically familiar with MATLAB.

If a bunch of startups continue to love Ruby's initial expressiveness and productivity (early code write & read cycles), then unless Ruby improves on similar dimensions then Crystal adoption may pick up.

Of course, Crystal's adoption could be stopped if Ruby (and Rails) improves on the dimensions that Bruce Perens mentioned in his video; namely correctness, reliability and efficiency. Supposedly, Crystal is supposed to be faster, more reliable and just-as-efficient-to-write given the syntactic similarities that many developers love about Ruby.
Mr. Rogers and other PBS childrens' shows are meant to be educational. Ren and Stimpy, Spongebob, etc - aside from being intended for an older demographic - are meant to be entertaining.

Of course part of the education that good childrens' programs instill is self-esteem and empathy - to find value in yourself and others.

Values the sociopathic, nihilistic world of adulthood will then try to twist and mock and beat out of them for the rest of their lives.
You seem confused.

You bought a plot of land, presumably with a house on it.

You didn't buy a lifestyle. You don't have a deed to a lifestyle, you have a deed to land and a house.

You very much did not buy your neighbor's land. So if your neighbor wants to build some dense housing, what on Earth makes you think you have the right to stop her?

Now you may have the power to say "yep, not in my back yard! I'm going to file a bunch of stop orders and vote for politicians who are hostile to upzoning (and who happen to own some property whose sticker price they're afraid of disturbing)!"

The reason I consider this desire invalid is because it isn't your land. What you're doing is abusing zoning, which is supposed to keep factories away from human habitation, to prevent other property owners from building the kind of housing they want on their own property.

I've decided that I'm glad you consider NIMBY an insult, you NIMBY. Your kind deserve to be insulted, and those of us who think it's disgusting to tell a productive citizen of our cities "move away if you can't afford an apartment" plan to defeat you and get back to building.

> The attitude of feeling like you are owed great housing in a great location at a great price feels like entitlement to me.

Have a look in the mirror, NIMBY.
There is also the fact that Lucas had licensed the game rights to Star Wars to Kenner along with the toys, in a deal that was very much in Kenner's favor. As long as Kenner paid them either 5% of their yearly profits on Star Wars toys and games or 100k, the deal would continue. They finally stopped paying in 1991.

"Just change jobs" isn't always feasible just like "just break up with them" isn't always feasible in relationships. Kids, health situations, money issues, professional enjoyment, location, and needed benefits (particularly remote work) can all play factors into why one might need to stay at a particular job.

And further, we should always be encouraged to first try to solve our issues before running from them. Yes, solutions may not always be possible but learning to solve difficult issues is an important skill.
I've taken a bit of a middle ground approach, partly out of laziness and partly because it just doesn't seem all that necessary.

I have to wash my hair daily otherwise I feel absolutely gross, and I'll also wash the private and smelly bits daily with soap, but otherwise I only use soap head to tow twice a week.

My partners have never seemed to notice or complain about any off smells although I realize being around someone for long periods of time can desensitize you so I've taken a few opportunities to ask my parents who would certainly be the first to tell me if I smell like crap and they've never had any complaints.

Anecdotally, every partner I've had has told me I have great skin. Hair stylists have also told me I have incredibly healthy hair - I've been using cheap Suave Essentials (the clear baby blue bottle) shampoo with no conditioner since I was a kid.

Americans are puritans, don't expect SV companies to be any different. They do what the advertising industry wants or they don't make money. I mean television channels censor a peeing dogs genitals and people get all out raged when you have a dog that is not fixed.
You said:

> Totally, counterculture nowadays does not belong to the far left anymore and after oppress popular culture with its ideas (else you are cancelled) now they are making a major effort trying to cancell oppositors from the institutions.

Why do you think the European Union cares about counterculture belonging or not to the extreme left, given that the EU has, at least now, a conservative government and a conservative parliament? If they were cancelling anything, shouldn’t they be cancelling the extreme left?

On universities, I’m not sure I understand how this is related to the topic at hand nor why I should care, but I wouldn’t assume that what may be true for a few American colleges applies to all universities all over the world.

It's fun to read about a wild, unexpected success. It's fun to read about a hype train that crashes and burns. I learned a while ago that I have absolutely no idea what the masses actually like. Twitter still makes no sense to me. I've never opened TikTok. So something like Clubhouse I've decided not to judge and just see what happens.
My pet peeve is nagging to leave a review as soon as possible after the purchase. I mean, what can I write at that point? I received the product. It is blue. The seller shipped the product quickly. That's all.

Personally, I'm exclusively interested in reviews by people who have used the product for at least a couple of months, preferably years. But I guess the review score would be much lower and the impulse to buy would be weaker. And its a shame as there are products that deserve excellent reviews.

I understand your concerns but I do think you are also missing very important pieces.
Just like some software engineers are almost useless and others are extremely bright, so are doctors.
If the Hospital attempts to recruit better doctors - it will be a lot more expensive. Just like some developers make $100k and others $600 - so do doctors. Most Hospitals are non-profit and do you know if any private hospital company in the top of fortune 100 companies? No, because they don’t make that much profit, it all goes to salaries and equipment.
You’re ER case is very valid up to a point - you usually can’t make any decisions at the time. But if you are in a situation where you’re unconscious in the ER - you don’t need to! You are 100% hitting your max out of pocket and that’s it for the year. Same if you have a severe condition.
The only time you care about the cost is if you have a mild condition with optional treatment, in which case you can shop for prices, just like most do with a dentist.
Have any recommendations? I bought a bunch of shares of VOTE recently (the Engine No. 1 ETF), but I’m curious about others.

That's fair.

For gene therapy, I was referring to Zolgensma, which was delayed substantially in Europe and forced many to seek treatment in America. The delay was mainly due to cost savings, and the delay was clinically meaningful (since treatment is time sensitive).

It's all about –.Sax Not a Typo
I'm not the original poster, but I agree with the sentiment and can explain how it's not easier:

Take any number of "fundamentals" of management: having regular 1-1s, regular reviews, having planning meetings with the team, long term goal setting, operations reviews, etc, etc (yes, management is a lot of meetings).

If an office setting, you can feel like you're doing these on an ad hoc basis, and maybe you or others can do successfully this in an ad hoc way (although if this is the general way of doing things, and your org is large enough, I would guarantee there is a manager that isn't doing this well). But this way of managing completely falls on its face when people start going remote. If you aren't regularly scheduling this stuff then it's just not happening, or people are getting left out.

So I would say that remote management isn't easier, but it makes it very apparent who is doing the management basics, and who is not.

If Apple were doing their own leading I'd be more interested in entertaining this biased, conservative view. To me, it should be obvious that we should have MIDI support on the web, that we should have robust sensor support, that we should have serial port and bluetooth support. Trying to belittle & insult Google for making a good web platform, saying that Google is a problem, is farcically doublespeak to me. I personally find it revolting that there's this modern hip attitude that it's cool & awesome that someone is blocking features, is preventing growth.

But the thing is, I'm fine with Apple being Apple. If you want to stay on Safari, if you think lacking a bunch of features is cool, if you are like, yeah, I want webworker support to take 2 years longer than everyone else, I'm happy for you, go for it. If you want a browser that doesn't participate in call to implements, go you I guess.

What I'm not cool with is a platform that refuses to allow anyone else on that platform to browse the modern internet. Apple definitely for sure 100% is leveraging colossal & vast market power to hold back & prevent a better web from emerging, is preventing their consumers from having access to a capable web platform. I'm ok with Safari being, imo, a deliberately defective product, but I'm not ok with amazing devices being locked to this radically deliberately maimed version of the web, that is full of bugs, that is perpetually multiple years behind.

Thx everyone for the feedback, I really didn't know about the distinction between profit sharing versus revenue sharing, very helpful.
Tesla is also an SI unit associated with electricity. Then again, are there any companies called "Ohm" or "Ampere"?
