Yea this is just wrong.

If we had a true healthcare free market starting from scratch right now the money would go into blood panel sampling and building massive data sets to use machine learning algorithms for classification.

If I had a full quarterly blood panel sample that went into a database in 5-10 years the most trivial random forest would crush my doctor as far as classification.

Pushing 50 my visits to the doctor are not going to look that much different than when I was a kid in 1980 for my entire life.

Instead, with this bullshit system my doctor doesn't even want to do a full panel once a year. The government is not going to pay for that.

Even better, imagine a $200 dollar home device to do a full blood sample once a month with a $20 subscription fee for analysis. 2-3 years from now would be incredible.

Just impossible to have happen with this wonderful healthcare system the collectivist love so much.

You can't change the past. You can do something about what's happening right now. A lot of rational people want to cancel "cancel culture" right now because of the harm it inflicts on society.

Neural Noise Shows the Uncertainty of Our Memories
I have been practicing leet code on and off for a bit. I understand all data structures and algorithms that these interviews supposed to cover. I can explain and teach these concepts to others.

But leet code questions are still riddles to me. I have also been watching videos of some famous programmers solving leet codes on YouTube and even they get stumbled and take almost an hour to solve some of these questions.

But once I have seen a solution and memorized general approach, I can solve it under 20 minutes. To me, leet code is more about memorization than actual problem solving skills.
I agree that the economy is probably forefront in voters' minds, but there's nothing to "undo" in this area. I guess a Republican administration could cancel the infrastructure bill? It's not like Biden passed a series of radical policies that changed how the economy works.

To me the main reason quantum effects does not affect the free will argument is because one can - and probably should given that otherwise it makes QM keep coming up -, reframe it to not worry about absolute determinism and instead apply just probabilistic models.

The real question becomes one of probabilities: Unless some entity is able to introduce measurable biases that deviates from predictable probabilistic distributions relative to what could be predicted based on its complete state (including its internal physical structure) and complete inputs, it makes little sense to suggest the entity has agency.

But that leaves us with the problem of explaining how something could effectively break the laws of physics in a way that doesn't just lead to infinite regress.

The day I see someone give a definition of free will that overcomes that, I'll be in awe. Not holding my breath.

yep, the author is describing gradient descent over state-space - which is the driving force behind basically all adaptive systems*, though varying in both state-space complexity and descent algorithm.

This should be expected though, as neural net ML practices are a direct descendant of cybernetics, and are essentially an attempt to digitise natural adaptive control systems.

* you can reasonably analogise a single sensor/effector control loop as gradient descent against a 1d state.

If an industry dies out/becomes more expensive due to UBI, then the first people to lose access to the goods/services provided by that industry are the most economically constrained people.

> guaranteed to continue to be able to pay their bills

This all depends on how well your UBI keeps up with inflation. If you trigger runaway inflation, then you won't be able to buy bread with a wheelbarrow full of cash. Fundamentally, it's not about how much money people have, but about how much work they do. If UBI reduces the amount of work done overall in the economy, it will contract said economy and make everyone poorer as a result.

You seem to be upset with my arguments for some reason. However, if you read some other comments here and multitude of previous UBI-related discussions, you will see that there are a lot of people who (naively) assume that UBI will be somehow financed by taxes on corporations (from one of the comments: "Really, you'd just want to tax corporations over a certain size that are both highly automated (i.e. high revenue per employee), and have lopsided compensation structures (which could be measured by CEO to median worker pay)."). However, if you want to get a good approximation how modern politicians structure similar programs, then just look at California health care tax proposal (aka "Let's make healthcare free for ourselves and get tech-bros pay for it!").

Can be, doesn't have to be. I've had the same clients for over a decade. I've seen people come and go as employees and know more about the businesses than many employees themselves and help bring new executives/employees up to speed.

Well yes, they do get something in return for their taxes, don't they?

As far as gig workers, they do get something in return for the instability, which is (in theory) higher hourly pay and more flexible achedules. If they aren't getting this, they aren't really gig workers and should be labelled as employees, but if they are, they get a benefit for the risk they take.

Personally I think that many gig workers should be simply classified as normal employees.

Another issue is that gig workers and consultants don't pay for unemployment insurance at all, so they're actually not paying the same contributions as others.

Your points are well stated and succinctly out. They’ve made me think about this issue more than I ever have. It’s not a question I’ve ever been interested in but I like the reasoning you are giving.

The first sentence above though helps to illustrate a problem when thinking about this stuff. You wrote, You are free to…. From your perspective no one has that freedom but our everyday experience is such that it’s hard to really follow through with this belief. Perhaps consciousness and self awareness comes at a cost of not being able to fully embrace the notion that we don’t have free will. It certainly feels like I have exercised free will but that is likely just an illusion.

This is not measured data but expected total antineutrino emissions according to the model that they created ((anti)neutrinos come in three different flavors and can oscillate between them). It looks like they modeled different sources like Earth's crust, mantle and artificial sources (nuclear reactors) separately, e.g. by using known distributions and ratios of radioactive elements or locations and power of nuclear reactors and in one case actual measurements by detectors in Italy and Japan. They then ran simulations on this and summed up the total flux in different energy ranges ("bins").

Agreed with many points. So Java is then somewhat in the middle.

OTOH lets consider Rust. It is in my book a low-level lang, close to the metal (hence Rust?). It has a muuuuuuch better feature set compared to Java (IMHO). But it is geared at low-level, so no VM and certainly no GC out-of-the-box... In your def Rust'd be a high level lang: which is cool. I like your def :) But I still def'd high level slightly different: more in terms of the ability program close to the machine, or more in abstractions.

> Sum types and pattern matching are not OO.

Traditionally not often found in OO, but otherwise verrry much compatible with OO.

> In "true" OOP, you wouldn't have a sum type, because you'd have an object that would exhibit different behavior depending on the implementation.

I think this is more about tradition than "trueness". I cannot return an Either<Error, Result> from Java. That sucks. Many have used Exceptions to fix it, but that suck even more. I'd say OO is compatible with sum types.

> But, I'd argue that the "problem" isn't Java's lack of sum types and pattern matching, but rather that we're trying to make Java into something it isn't.

This always happens. And some langs are better suited for that than others. I work on a Java codebase currently and welcome those features, and actively consider moving the whole show over to Kotlin. Kotlin to me is like a typed Ruby. And in Ruby many libs are in C (in Kotlin then many libs'd be in Java).

I think OO and FP bite eachother. You cannot have both. See Scala. It becomes way too big as a language, and lack idiomatic ways of doing things. But one can have a lot of FP in an otherwise OO lang (see Kotlin for instance).
