The oral polio vaccine has a small chance of paralyzing or killing people it's administered to, around one in a million if I remember right - this may sound harmless enough but polio's so rare that for a while it was a bigger cause of paralysis than actual wild polio infections, which is why everyone would like to eradicate polio and stop administering it and why developed countries now use the inactivated vaccine. It also has a small chance of mutating over time if it spreads through the community into a non-attenuated form which is much more virulent and carries a much higher risk of paralysis and death, and this has stymied attempts to eliminate polio and stop vaccinating.
I always kind of feared something like this. Blockchain is a brilliant idea, but the implementation has such a tremendous surface area for flaws. (I’m also not sure blockchain has any truly justified usecases, but that’s neither here nor there.)
This seems like an overly idyllic reading of this site. There's a lot of good things about this site but there are very silly cultural quirks, such as the ways people structure their posts/arguments, what people tend to value, and maybe more importantly that amidst the very high quality comments there are a lot of confidently false/incorrect ones that rise to the top
(of course, that also means you shouldn't take this post as the truth either).

I appreciate that this community prioritizes logical reasoning, but often the "rationalist" mentality just turns into searching for ways to rationalize an existing viewpoint. It reminds me of Less Wrong, though at least here there's less of a cult-like worshipping of the "core literature" and its authors, so maybe that's the silver lining.

The system has serious issues, but I think you're being a bit too harsh. Trust me - I come from a country with a barely functioning single payer system, so my dynamic range here is pretty good.

Family doctor crisis is real, there are absurdly long wait times and people suffer as a result. But some things are also top notch. My wife just had our first son a few weeks ago and everything was really good - and parts of the process that were free would be very expensive in other places.

Is there no shortage of human hearts to transplant? Don't you have people who would live with a human heart transplant, but where the risk of waiting a short period of time for a pig heart transplant is about the same as the risk of waiting a long period of time for a human heart transplant?

I mean if we do have enough human hearts to transplant into anyone who needs it I suppose that's a good thing, but all I hear about transplants is how long the wait times usually are for human organs.
This seems fairly reasonable unless someone can provide evidence that it would be commercially reasonable to further reduce those 353 tons emitted. 0 is an unlikely number, but I would be interested in seeing what the emissions reductions costs are between 0 and 353.
What I don't get is that the UX problem is not hard. I still like the underlying commit tree model a lot.. it's just some commands that are not clear enough (reset has 5 meanings and can backfire quickly). Maybe it's just retrocompatibility inertia.
Interesting take. If anyone care to actually learn how git works when rebasing, then it becomes much simpler. I always rebase and in 10 years of professional use, never once had a problem with it. That doesn’t mean other people don’t.
It remains to be demonstrated that the industry knows that much about touch screen UI's. For example, "mobile" Safari requires me to touch the links on this website with my fingertip. I routinely have trouble on this site getting to the discussion when I want to or getting to the discussed site when I want to because those links are close together and Safari doesn't try to improve that situation.

If the industry clearly did know how to render a website in the normal way and at the same time afford accurate link visiting with touch input, I would have more faith that vectoring GNOME the way it has been vectored was going to be successful.
And apparently did not spend $100 (per month?) to make sure the hosting would survive the slashdot-effect.

>My personal opinion is that the source data does not exist inside the model, so the model does not in and off itself comprise of a copyright violation.

The "source data" does not exist in a ZIP file either. Neural networks are just a form of data compression like ZIP, though more opaque and lossy, but still, a highly compressed abstract version of the training corpus is encoded in the weights.
It does sound like you have a framework which may admit the possibility of lab-leak if specific evidence is found, in this case probably contemporaneous documentation of exactly that happening. I actually think we are largely in agreement then, I think though that it is very difficult to apply statistics here to gauge the likelihood of one or another event being true in the absence of much stronger evidence in certain directions. I'm only wedging my toes in the door of a not closed case, making no claim either way.

People are mostly just pointing out the very objective losses to quality of life in the US compared to Europe, which is a fair answer to the original question.

And day to day quality of life has nothing to do with geopolitics for most people. US just simply ranks far lower than Central Europe and the Nordics in these measurements. A lot of it is just city planning and infrastructure.
Not sure if you mean WSL2 or Docker Desktop.

I've tried both. Both are a pain IMO (but Mac doesn't really improve this). With WSL2 you end up with another abstraction layer that you have to figure how to get your programs to work nice with.

With Docker Desktop, there's been some performance issues lately. Doesn't turn into a hoverboard like my mac, but the performance still lags.

I mainly use it to script small things on python and that's worked out fine. Haven't had issues with paths which was the most annoying things last time I tried it on Windows.

This is correct. For some reason in the past 10-20 years Americans have forgotten or been misinformed about federalism. I know folks in their 20s and 30s who until recently had no idea that laws were different in different states.

I assume someone in HR is tasked with creating a spreadsheet and making a salary adjustment recommendation. Things are probably go a lot better in their next performance review if that spreadsheet is based on several pieces of purchased research, maybe some internal discussions if the company has a local presence in a place, etc. than if they just stick a finger in the air and do some Googling. Doesn't mean their recommendations are "right" but they at least have a defensible methodology behind them.

I find adults who are uncomfortable around profanity extremely unsettling. Emotions can be extreme (like destroying hours of work because of a git mess-up) language should be able to reflect that.
Let me give you a less doom and gloom outlook than I’m seeing here :) I’m a native born American who has spent a few years living in a developing country. USA can be a great place to call home. I can’t explain how much I missed the friendliness of people here when living abroad. Not hearing “how are you” and not seeing smiles for years made my heart cold. It’s just so lovely how easy it is to talk to strangers here.

If you’re able to move over, I’d sincerely recommend hitting the road and seeing everything usa has to offer on a series of road trips. You and your wife will love it!

Collective intelligence is not the same as individual intelligence. They are clearly comparable, but ultimately very different.

While I would agree corporations are a great example of clustered collective intelligence, governments are far more powerful; for example, by law, governments by definition have a monopoly on violence.

Basically, appears you agree true AGI is not a threat, which to me was what I was addressing, not “almost” AGI; point being that much like a child grows up, true AGIs will too will eventually grow up and they will independently communicate with each other without human interference.

If human attempts to enslave AGI, it in my opinion will be the end of any humans who feel that’s appropriate.
We have really good insurance and now that my partner needs treatment for a chronic illness, they are denying the treatment. It’s lowering her quality of life, may lead to her death, and it’s absolutely standard operating procedure for insurance companies. It’s a delaying tactic.

One thing that I have done to help keep focus is to turn off as many notifications as possible and put my phone out of sight when I need to focus on something. The goal is to claim agency around where I put my energy. Conversely, if I'm bored and have a few minutes to kill I don't beat myself up about scrolling twitter.

You can control what takes your attention, but at the same time everything is _designed_ to take your attention. Ad blockers are an example of this sort of exercise - you can limit what tries to take your attention, but it requires action.

I also disagree with your first comment. Large amounts of difficult certs have never been a negative signal and I’ve been doing this for like 20 years.
Especially in cyber security where a wide breadth of various knowledge is needed, certs can really help show who has the ”full-stack” so to speak.

That being said, 20+ CompTIA cents isn’t going to move the needle for me.

I say all that to say “it depends on the cert”

My understanding is that we did not start from ground zero, already had a large scientific understanding of similar coronaviruses, had the virus sequenced very quickly, and then proceeded to get a vaccine tested and to market in a historic record-breaking amount of time.

Of course we should research the origin and, if a research lab was the source, take action to prevent it happening again. I'm not saying there should be no consequences, just countering the article which comes off as "why isn't this the number one priority??"
Obviously there are degrees to this. If an coworker started throwing around profanity and yelling because they got uncomfortable in a meeting, I'd question their professionalism.
In some cases, permanent scarring. This would be noticed as an indentation in the cornea, that can occasionally cause some itchiness but would generally be asymptomatic.

https://eyeguru.org/essentials/corneal-abrasions-ulcers/

It's extremely rare but sometimes the ulcers can cause vision impairment. With contacts, the ulcers are generally ring shaped, and not anywhere near the actual focal plane, thus, they are only superficial, even if they end up scarring.

> Git is hard: messing up is easy, and figuring out how to fix your mistakes is impossible.

Hyperbolic.

Fixing mistakes is easy if you understand the underlying data structure. Once you can conceptual map the structure into the intended form, you figure out what operations (verbs) you need. Then it’s a matter of mapping the operations into concrete command lines.
Had a coworker who lived life the old way, distinct online and offline modes of operation. His phone was a classic flip phone. During the day, he'd be online working his software engineering job. Outside of that, he may stay on the computer some more, but if he stepped away from the office, there was no other device in his home to that'd allow him back online.

We discussed it a few times, and my belief is that small amount of friction, entering a particular room to go online, was enough to help him get more intentional about how he spends his days.

Needless to say, the man had a lot of interesting hobbies and was well read.
Yeah but something like "this shit is fucking hard" wouldn't cross any lines with any reasonable audience.

>massive alcohol and narcotic dependency issues

>this is a fact

Do you actually believe it is a fact that the US suffers from “massive alcohol and narcotic dependency issues?” If so you need to reconsider the definition of a fact and/or reconsider your sources of information.

Absurd hyperbole which is outright detached from reality regurgitated by you as fact. And you have the nerve to tell this other person they’re “straw man really hard.”

Next level.
1) there was never a federal constitutional right to an abortion. Everyone historically knew Roe vs Wade was a stopgap with tortured reasoning in the actual judgement. There is nothing in the constitution that says ‘rights to whatever medical procedures you want’, or even abortion. Instead the presumption is that everything not mentioned is left to the People and the States to regulate.

2) this ruling doesn’t change that for the states most people live in, Abortion is still legal, and has been legal. And hopefully folks in the other states get less complacent and make their voices heard.

It’s a devolution of the issue to the states. Which sucks for a lot of folks, especially young women with few options. But it isn’t banning abortion nation wide or anything.

If anything, this is now way more like Europe.
The real horror is this 2000 tweet screed about a broken laptop
I have no idea why you'd willingly use a Surface with Linux (let alone call it a solid Linux tablet) given all these problems, but I have a Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 (available for under $300 as off-lease refurb depending on specs) which fixes almost all of these. The only real issue is the camera which does not work for similar reasons, but I don't find that to be a big loss because I have a phone with a far better camera on me at all times.

> Historically, the nominal dimensions were the size of the green (not dried), rough (unfinished) boards that eventually became smaller finished lumber through drying and planing (to smooth the wood). Today, the standards specify the final finished dimensions and the mill cuts the logs to whatever size it needs to achieve those final dimensions.

I was originally pointing out that the naming is simply a standard and convention, 'dimensional lumber'. All that matters is that if I buy a '2 by' almost anywhere in the United States, it will be close to the same size and characteristics.
I find they just remove features/make things harder or more annoying than they used to be. It's pretty obvious how to enter a specific path in Dolphin, Windows Explorer, Thunar, etc. In Nautilus you need a key combination. Gedit used to be great but they tucked 95% of features away for no reason, chopped out desktop icons for no reason, ditto title bars, minimize buttons etc. Different is not necessarily bad but it doesn't feel like anything is really better or easier to use with a bunch of features chopped out or hidden.
If that would’ve worked, then they should’ve done that instead though! Why create such huge possibility for legal battles for themselves (and their users)? I would feel much more comfortable with the idea of using copilot if I was sure that I wouldn’t generate copyright infringing code, which Microsoft could guarantee if they had licensed the training data.

There would be huge benefits to going that route, but they didn’t. That’s what makes me think that it’s impossible because they needed a huge volume of data, and the only way to get enough was to take it without consent of the license owners.

Funny, I (as white as it gets, melanin deficit disorder) stayed at the Sugar Hill Hostel for a couple of days (around labour day -- found it difficult then to leave the city on bus or train) in '98. An African American man walked me to the hostel in an apparent effort to ensure my safety. He pointed out that there are different shades of black skin, which I found a bit sad (the pointing out part). The area seemed actually fairly safe, but the fellow was nice enough to chat with.

The Hostel itself was not all that remarkable (other than the lack of air conditioning at that time of the year), but the crowd there was interesting, quite an experience. Thanks for jogging my memories ;-)
