What you say seems undeniably true, however reifying fundamental concepts lies at or near the core of human natural intelligence. Perhaps more so than logic itself.

Work on AI is basically as old as computing itself (i.e. the pioneers of computing explored from early on connectionist models of computing, neural networks, cellular automata, reinforcement learning, LISP, etc). AI has been evolving for eight decades, vast resources have been channeled into it; and frankly, the successes are striking.

It would be almost impossible for us not to conceive of AI as a “thing.”
Those people are already running arbitrary binary code without the possibility to check what's inside, it's just that it was loaded before purchase. If you don't trust Intel's updates, then you also can't trust their CPUs in the first place.
That might matter in a niche case where the ownership of my moon share database entry is in dispute. (And each system has positives and negatives, blockchains aren't a strict upgrade.)

But the potential authority over the actual moon is the same under both systems.
The same as every NFT: nothing beyond what everyone agrees to, which right now (and likely forever) is nothing.

Well, I suppose separating speculators from their money is another answer.
Outside of the blockchain, a token on the blockchain means nothing. Outside of the Moon company, a piece of the moon is still a real thing that means something. You can only "own" a physical object if you either have sufficient physical force to assert your ownership of it or the government recognizes your ownership and will exert force on your behalf to assert it.

Neither of those are necessary for the blockchain because nobody can assert ownership of the blockchain tokens without the private keys to your wallet.

No, you're copying a piece of media that NFT links to. What you're not copying is a verifiable claim of spending unreasonable amount of ETH to have a record in blockchain pointing to that piece of media.

Wasn't claimed either. Why do people keep inventing claims to then criticize them? (I'm not even into NFTs, don't own any and don't plan to, but a lot of the reaction is just bizarre. No, they don't magically enforce copyright. No, they also aren't supposed to.)

You don't need to stop them. You don't own an image, you own a token. People can copy the image all they want, that doesn't give them ownership of the token.

I'm struggling to see your point? If someone wants to exercise their freedom of association during a pandemic they should be able to do so. I feel very strongly about this and don't like the alternative of restricting people's rights unnecessarily.
This is why you want to go to ConvenientMD or similar urgent care centers for anything not acutely life-threatening. It's usually faster than being seen at an ER, and costs an order of magnitude or more less - my insurance has a baseline fee of only $50 vs $600 for the ER.
Sum types =/= union types. Sum types are also called 'tagged' or 'discriminable' unions because they have some way to discriminate between them. That is, if you have an element a of type A, a is not part of the sum type A + B because it's missing a tag.

[5,"hello",3] has the type list (int ∪ string), not list (int + string). You can emulate the latter by manually adding a tag, but native support is much preferable.
I’m fine with “application” and “app” having different meanings.

You're completely correct that over-exuberance, gambles and scams are playing a large role in the amount of money flowing. It is unclear whether the current level of openness compared to the usually highly elitist gate kept artworld will persist.

There is nonetheless a clear mapping to physical art world collections in terms of owning a rare work by a skilled artist and having it connected to some trusted proof representing a unique transaction with that artist.
In the 90s in the UK we couldn't watch DS9 at the same time as the US. The Season 7 finale was June 1999 for example, but the earliest we could watch in the UK was November, by buying the episodes on tape. After that they came out on Sky ("cable tv"), and eventually reached normal TV about 4 years later.

I bought the entire of season 7 and most of season 6, at the (inflation adjusted) price of $16 per episode, or about $400 per season.

I have no problem with paying, but Paramount don't want my money. As such I watched Discovery Season 4 Episode 1 thanks to piratebay, which meant having to work out how to watch that on my TV. That minor hurdle has now been surpassed, lowering the barrier to acquiring any episode or film without cost.
Can someone make a coherent case for public healthcare to be a for-profit endeavour?
Regulatory factors exists in all mentioned countries. Medical services being restricted is not some kind of exception.
The ER is quite expensive to run, they’re designed to handle the riskiest kinds of situations.

Imagine how expensive a software dev team would be with 24/7 work, and full cycle scrum sprints every 72 hours to allow for constant pivoting, with injects from one to a bus load of product owners.
The problem is, the vaccinated are still dying and going to hospital in increasing numbers while also (if the lancet etc are correct) carrying higher viral load and spreading the virus faster. It's not clear the vaccine end goal is a net benefit if the virus is not stopped, while also risking for evolution of hotter virus variants.
The shame is that the unvaccinated are treated as some lower class almost criminals, when the whole point of the vaccine drive was supposed to be about protecting the vulnerable. Most people now seem to think the unvaccinated are walking around with covid holding hands all the time, with the vaccinated still fearful of them. It's irrational.

What is the point of the passport if you can do effective pre-testing and the vaccine does not prevent covid in itself?
It doesn't prove that you own part of the moon at all. The moon is a physical object. To own it, you need to be able to prevent other people from using it, or have an authority that can do so recognize your ownership and do that on your behalf. The Moon shares don't do that. The NFT on the blockchain does prevent other people from using that NFT without your authorization.
They don't, the cars come with (RFID?) key cards that work without a server. These people had left their key cards at home and relied on their phones probably just so they could have thinner wallets. Which is pretty stupid, it means you can't even unlock your car in a basement parking garage with no signal to the car...

Would be much less in Taiwan for example. I don’t know exactly but I’d have to guess $50 USD? I’ve been to clinics that charged about $15-30 for a doctor visit (cash price as a foreigner—Taiwan has national healthcare but they can’t charge to that for me). ER would probably be double that.

It’s not like you’re taking up a hospital bed. It’s a sew up and show you the door operation.
What question would you most like to be asked? heh :sweat-smile:
> Second issue, perhaps I'm a poor typist, but my fingertips frequently got stuck between the keys, causing mistakes by triggering adjacent keys.

To me this is one of benefits of harder to press keys: Accidentally touching a key is not enough to trigger them but intentional keypresses go through. It's the same difference as between piano and light synth keyboard. The thing about long travel is part avoiding accidental keypresses but also that you don't have to press the key to bottom and can avoid the jolt.
Doesn't mean you can't do the same by using the purse instead of the scourge.

If two parties can't find an agreement, and they are told they both lose financing (or position) if they don't, they would suddenly discover it.

No one is lying. The system is filled with massive inefficiencies.

1) Insurance companies don’t pay sticker prices. They pay negotiated rates. At the same time, hospitals have to pick up a lot of ER costs that are never covered. They might be making money but reasonable amounts at best (also that’s probably not true either considering how many hospitals are shutting down in the US).

2) The negotiated rates insurance companies pay are still very high. They are probably making a good profit, but their margin is still probably a fraction of the margin of many other industries, and it’s not like they have no competition, so they do have market pressure to reduce prices.

3) Doctors pay a ton in education and liability insurance and delayed earnings due to the extensive education required. They can spend over a decade, and be into their 40s before their net worth turns positive.

So where is all the money going is an excellent question. No one is benefitting from this current system.

1 obvious destination for the money is the education system in the US. Higher Ed in the US is an increasingly growing money pit. Tuitions are exploding. Loans are exploding (and educational loans are unique in the US in that they cannot be canceled in a bankruptcy). Administrative salaries are blowing up. Ever fancier buildings are being built. Yet money for teachers, researchers and remasters/phds is plummeting. It’s a complete scam with the entire system paying ever more money to build fancy buildings, the vast majority of the cost of which is captured by corrupt contractors with connections to university presidents, etc.

Then you have the pharma industry, which unlike any other civilized society, needs to advertise to consumers in the US. This means they have pressure to constantly grow their sales and once popular enough they have parents, and once generic, brand value, to force hospitals and patients to buy overpriced drugs.

But the US can’t outlaw pharma ads like nearly every other civilized country has, because that will then destroy your Media and Tech industries, and where ads, and therefore pharma ads, make up a massive source of income.

And I’m sure the same dynamic probably applies to medical tech as we’ll.

So in honesty, the money is likely going to the places that are showing that they are receiving money. Not in the healthcare system, but rather to tech, media, and construction and real estate.
I think it is more that prices are not transparent. Instead they are impredictable.

And you can't shop around for cheaper treatment. Partly because you are not in position to do so and partly because no one will tell you full price in advance.
... yes, licenses still rely on copyright law, well spotted. Is that supposed to be surprising or a novel insight?
Why internal tech documentation doesn’t work – my thoughts
> Hospitals are for profit corporations. Doctors are reviewed on how much revenue they generate per patient - usually by asking for more diagnosis and treatments - which is what patients want too.

FWIW lots of hospitals are non-profit (though I expect that changes are investors are moving more and more into the space).

That doesn't mean they don't focus on doctor's revenue, it only means there are no owners skimming off the top, but there are still execs being paid (a lot), as well as suppliers, etc... I'm not saying NFP hostpitals are worse (or even as bad as) FP, but they're hardly good.

I did some video work for a Dutch company selling such tech into Australia. Quite amazing to see it upfront. One dairy family talked about how it took them from scraping by to rekindling their enthusiasm for their farm.

Ditto, I have a Realforce R2 PFU Limited Edition and it's the best keyboard I've ever used. I don't think it's that loud and I could see myself using it in an office setting.

Before getting the Realforce I got two Filco Majestouch with brown switches. I used one of them in the office for quite some time and in retro respect I feel a bit sorry for my colleagues at the time. I still have and use those keyboards and the Realforce is much quieter.

Thinking about getting another Realforce and retire my Filcos. It's the "end game" keyboard for me.
I have no idea on the reasons or specifics but I needed pretty serious dental work here (AU), dental quotes were around $7-8k (“maybe more” they said), went to my GP and he wrote the referrals etc and it cost me $200 out of pocket, mostly for the prescriptions.

Sure you wait a while for our public health stuff if it’s not life threatening, and if you’ve got the cash available then private is faster/fancier,
but the public system does work.

> See the problem is, NordVPN is linked closely with a Lithuanian data mining company called Tesonet. NordVPN is said to be one of Tesonet’s projects, Oxylabs.io is another one.

Oxylabs.io advertises on its website “32M+ residential proxies…100% anonymous proxies from all over the globe with zero IP blocking.” Think of “residential proxies” this way: 1.) Oxylabs installs some malware on to a user’s device, unknown to the user, by bundling it with other software that the user downloads. 2.)This malware enables Oxylabs to sell off your bandwidth, your computing power, and your IP address to third parties, who will route their internet traffic through your device.
I agree that those are problems with American healthcare. I'm describing why ER prices are specifically so much higher than care in other areas of the hospital.

How long have COVID-19 vaccine passports existed?
My expression fell under the vibes of the more generic "paperclip maximizer argument" because I wanted to remain faithful to the "weather" idea, but could not get a better image.

Nonetheless, the details of the "paperclip maximizer argument" are valid, though not primary, for the real point: AI applied to strategy, tactics, defence and weapon management can suffer from the "Orthogonality thesis" (the decision may be out of a process unaware of human values) and "Instrumental convergence" (the decision may be out of a process unaware of its legitimate boundaries).

The primary point remains "You do not put an "enfant prodige" in charge of systems with overextensive consequences".
I 100% support limiting as much as possible access to a normal life to people who don't want to get the vaccine. Yes, you're free to put the rest of us at risk because you're too afraid to get vaccinated (because fear and an inability to manage one's emotions is absolutely at the root of the antivax sentiment), but we will in response ostracize you from public life until you fulfill your civic duty.

So I hope that these dangerous protests get crushed by the respective governments.

Not all DACs are equal.

Even average soundcards sport a 24bit DAC. However they're designed for a dynamic output so tend to have quite crap DC precision. What matters to a soundcard is producing a precise waveform, not a precise DC voltage.

This part is designed for DC level setting, ie a programmable reference voltage. Typically it won't change that often (compared to a soundcard), but it needs to be precise.

For example, compare the AD5791[1], a 20-bit DAC with 1LSB DC accuracy costing $40 in 1000 qty, to a 24bit audio DAC like the AD1955[2] costing about $7. The datasheet for the audio DAC doesn't even specify the DC precision, only a 6% gain error from the output buffer.

Really? “Free world”. You have a lot to learn, sparky.
Ownership only ever matters when there's a dispute. If you go build a house on a piece of land, and nobody ever comes along and disputes whether you own that land, does it matter whether you do or not? I mean, we even built into our laws that if you do that and nobody disputes it for long enough, then you get to officially own the land.

There was massive underreporting of COVID cases related to job safety in Czechia. Might be similar in the UK.

I'd wager a guess that vaccinated people reported COVID to authorities more often than non-vaccinated people, because they apparently tended to comply with the recommended policy.

Unvaccinated people might have tended to treat mild COVID cases as simple colds and unless more severe symptoms developed not test or report.

But then you don't have the same ability to add flavors and mess around like you do when making ice cream.

If you want an iPhone mini sized Android phone, you'll probably have to make some serious trade-offs.

According to Wikipedia, the iPhone mini is 131.5 mm tall and 64.2 mm wide. Using the "Phone Finder" on GSMArena, the closest phone dimension-wise, released in 2021, is the Alcatel 1 (137.6 x 65.7). Of course, it runs Android 11 Go because it only has 1GB of RAM. There are also a couple of Samsungs (A01 and M01 Core) at 141.7 x 67.5, but they only go up to 2GB and run Android 10 Go.

So it doesn't look like there are any "premium" Android phones that are close in size to the iPhone mini. Which is a shame.

Just my 2 cents. I live and work in Germany and am insured in one of the many public insurances.

My monthly contribution is 350 Euro, my employer has to pay 350 Euro per month, too. Hence, I am paying approx. 7500 Euro for my insurance per year. Assuming I work 35 years plus some inflation, then I will pay over 300.000 Euro for my insurance. This excludes contribution before 25 (where my parents paid for me) and my contribution after I retire.

What I want to say: public insurance is NOT free, but also comes with high cost.
It’s not so hard. Just a few years ago, say 2012, it was really unusual for academics in the field of AI to refer to any system as “AI” or “having AI” or “being an AI state.” Why? Because it was disingenuous. But then when IBM Watson was released, the dump trucks of money started showing up, and the self-policing stopped.

Look, I’m not critiquing the field of AI or funding it. Referring to AI research is no problem. My problem comes from naming the outputs of the field “AI.” Because we all know it is a moving target, it doesn’t really mean anything and it confuses non-experts to the point that they make poor decisions.
The London Underground is the world's oldest underground railway. The very first line to be built was the Metropolitan Railway (now called the Metropolitan line), which opened in 1863.

So in a sense, you could say London was the first city to name their underground railway after the term "metropolitan".
