etc.

Extrinsic incentives are correlated only very slightly with performance, job satisfaction and self-reported measures of motivation. The correlations that exist are confounded because causation is likely reversed (people with higher satisfaction, performance, and motivation are paid more). When we study, in isolation, extrinsic incentives on tasks that are intrinsically rewarding, they appear demotivating.

Anecdotally, I see the effect in the classroom itself: rewarding students for things that they otherwise would do for the challenge and their own reward sucks the fun out of it really fast. The absolute last thing in the world you want to do is pivot someone from evaluating a task based on its intrinsic rewards to thinking about it in terms of extrinsic factors.

I'm actually taking over a competitive math program next year that has had a pretty big "candy bribe" component of it that I need to figure out how to unwind. It's one thing to unexpectedly give out stickers, candy, etc, and let students know you're celebrating awesome performance... it's another still to condition students to think that doing math is only worthwhile because Jolly Ranchers will be dispensed.

> The point being made here, AFAICT, is that paying more would increase the available pool of candidates.

I think in the very long run that's true: there are people who would like to teach that are steered away from it during college because they figure out they just can't make the numbers work.

But given that a teaching credential is a pretty substantial structural bar, I don't think it changes things much in the medium run.
Well, the question doesn’t give an option to pick “created by God exactly as we are today more than 10000 years ago”. Creationists are forced to pick the ‘less than 10000 years ago’ option.
Can anyone recommend a good terminal-based RSS reader? Preferably one that plays nice with small screens.
You're not dreaming all of the time, so that doesn't work. Dreams only occur during REM sleep phases, which tend to cluster closer to the end of the sleep cycle.
There's no point now, I suppose.

The history was that "podcasting" was an open medium, "open" being the point. A "podcast" was a show (e.g. "Smartless"). "Episodes" were audio or video files combined with metadata that lived in the podcast's RSS. Anybody could play in that ecosystem.

Now "podcasting" means anything/nothing. "Podcasts" are shows. "Podcasts" are episodes. "Podcasts" are things that increasingly need a proprietary app to play.
Are AIs capable of creating something really unique, or is it just a washing machine spinning on old ideas?
It's also from 2019. For reference, the exact question Gallup polled:

> Which of the following statements comes closest to your views on the origin and development of human beings:

> 1) Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process;

> 2) Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God had no part in this process;

> 3) God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so.
Surely it will use all of the magic grid storage in place that renewable promoters always talk about.
This is the question with available responses, definitely not editorialized:

Which of the following statements comes closest to your views on the origin and development of human beings -- [ROTATE 1-3/3-1: 1) Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process, 2) Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God had no part in this process, 3) God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so]?
Our team complained about frequent meetings, and managers reduced meetings to one daily meeting (our managers are competent though).
I'm still waiting for some definition of "god" to inform these conversations. What is this thing we are talking about?

This is hard to believe - as I remark above, the accessibility issues with the number input type are extreme. It's much, much worse than any alternative, including a plain text input type.

`<input type="number">` is something that might be recommended blindly on the basis of a checklist, but not something that might be recommended by anyone familiar with relevant concepts.
Reminds me of the science fiction podcast Biotopia (Spanish). At some point there is a debate in the community on whether to allow a woman to marry a robot. There is a vote and it's very tight. But then one of the scientist of the community inadvertently duplicate himself 30 times or so and all the clones come vote at the last minute and tip the balance to allow the marriage to proceed.
Do you seriously believe this or intentionally gaslighting?
Exactly. Any content writer AI, developer AI, graphic designer AI just has to be good enough to cause an economic labor shift. There are plenty of non big tech companies that want affordable labor that can just get the job done. It doesn't need to be insanely good, although imo it will be in short order anyway.

Ok, one of the things that totally bugged me about the Viking tv show's visit to Iceland is that it only showed the harshest of environments, not the forests that used to exist there when the vikings colonized the island.
Sorry, but many of your claims are simply bunk. Transphobia--should a thing even exist (which I debate)--is hardly a backlash against transcendence, which nearly everyone isn't even going to be able to describe. Additionally, I'd love to have access to the crystal ball you're gazing into to make predictions about eighty years in the future with such certainty. We as a species can't even predict uninteresting events happening next month, let alone anything you're talking about.
Of course they should. But they should also consider alternatives.

IMO $150 a year for something you simply should just learn (it's a basic skill). A library card ~$20 a year and you get so many more benefits.

It depends on how the betting markets were organized. People have spent a great deal more money on sillier social signaling with smaller stakes, so if your bets were public, yes, I think people would continue to make bets that are in accordance with what they think their tribe wants, and would count on the bet-adjudicators to side with their tribe's pressure should they stand to lose.

Can I ask, was there an underlying reason that people deciding to pursue this image generation task, or is this literally just the result of throwing lots of tasks at different types of AI until you finally find one it seems to do well?

I don't mean to denigrate this, the results are clearly interesting, but I just don't understand what problem this solves, it just seems to raise the noise floor on reality.
> Would it be OK at that point if they just killed you? No one can tell the difference, right?

No, because copying has created two individuals, so you're still killing an individual for no reason.
Maybe true, but without explanation it'll get flagged anytime it gets popular.

Pretty much any religious-related posts on HN typically get flag-murdered, regardless. Too controversial of a topic and unlikely any headway will be made discussing these matters here, so it's not interesting.

Every individual has their own view and theory on the matter, and tends to be pretty sure "the other side" is wrong; such close-mindedness predictably leads to boring flame wars and nothing interesting emerges or changes.
A lot of these businesses are fine with that transaction. It's not bad engineering for sure. Business is weird when you're goal is to grow instead of make money.
It's not about if/when people take these blogs seriously. It's a race between the creators of AGI and when it becomes mainstream enough for a popular politician to make it the cause de jour and rally the populist base against an existential threat.

> On the same poll, 13% of Americans claimed to believe Barack Obama was the Anti-Christ. […] Some pollsters are starting to consider these sorts of things symptomatic of what they term symbolic belief, which seems to be kind of what the Less Wrong sequences call Professing and Cheering or Belief As Attire. Basically, people are being emotivists rather than realists about belief. “Obama is the Anti-Christ” is another way of just saying “Boo Obama!”, rather than expressing some sort of proposition about the world.

During the 50s the USSR had yet to spend lots of resources to restore the country after the war. USSR also knew very well that even before the WWII ended, US already had plans to destroy it with nuclear weapons.

So we had to invest all the available resources into developing a technology that would protect us from US nuclear strike.

Although I agree that in many (but not all) cases USSR tried to copy western technology and goods, Tu-144 is a bad example as it had flown 2 months before the Concord, so it clearly couldn't be a copy of Concord.

Is the term 'Creationism' something a non-expert in religion is supposed to know about? According to the survey it seems 40% of Americans willing to answer a survey happen to know this, but I'm not so sure the other 60% + error margin happen to know this definition, which the 'editorialization' might be clarifying to common language.

I had an OFAC compliance department hold up a wire from US->IRE because the bank it was going to (Permanent TSB) shared the suffix TSB with some Russian bank. There are 6 chartered banks in Ireland, but I had to dig out all sorts of info about the bank to prove that the Irish bank wasn't in Russia.

I think it was 3 weeks or so to sort it out, when usually this is a nextish business day thing.

It isn’t, though. There is no “god created us in our current form more than 10000 years ago” option on the poll. It was either ‘humans evolved and god exists’, ‘humans evolved and god doesn’t exist’, or ‘humans didn’t evolve and were created by god within the last 10000 years’

No option for creationists who believe humans were created more than 10000 years ago.
Montaigne – Create a personal blog with Apple Notes
It's a literal example of "trying to be holier than the Pope" saying, as (at least outside of USA) the official position of all the major, conservative churches is that God created stuff and mankind, but the Big Bang (answering "what was before that?" question) and evolution (divinely inspired) is part of how He did it, not a literal 7 days 10k years ago, so there's no conflict with science.

At least from Wikipedia, it seems that the only churches supporting Young Earth Creationism as theology are from USA - e.g. Seventh-day Adventist church, which have branches around the world but are (anecdotally, from my experience) seen like a weird fringe denomination; and the local Lutheran churches also see their USA counterparts as more towards radical/"extremist" side and it's not uncommon to see policy conflict between USA Lutheran churches and the rest of the world.

Tell HN: Internet Archive is facing a Big 4 Publishers lawsuit
Not sure why this isn't more prominently highlighted, but this is a very culturally significant project and a custodian of a tremendous amount of Internet and WWW-oriented history. I would imagine HN would put this at the forefront of the discussions happening here.

> In June 2020, four major publishers—John Wiley & Sons and three of the big five US publishers, Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins and Penguin Random House—filed a lawsuit against the Internet Archive, claiming the non-profit organization, “is engaged in willful mass copyright infringement.”

> The lawsuit stems from the corporate publishers response to an innovative temporary initiative launched by the Internet Archive during the first months of the coronavirus pandemic called the National Emergency Library. Given the impact of the public health emergency, the Internet Archive decided to ease its book lending restrictions and allow multiple people to check out the same digital copy of a book at once.

> Up to that point, the Internet Archive had established a practice of purchasing copies of printed books, digitizing them and lending them to borrowers one at a time. When it kicked-off the emergency lending program, the Internet Archive made it clear that this policy would be in effect until the end of the pandemic. Furthermore, the archive’s publishers said that this program was in response to library doors being closed to the public during the pandemic. Under conditions where the Internet Archive was the only means of access to titles for many people, the policy was justified and a creative response to COVID-19.

I don't see them mentioning the Amazon or hinting that the USA's imports are contributing there, but maybe I'm misreading their comment then (also when re-reading it now I don't see what you're referring to). Oh, or are you referring to the link they posted rather than their comment itself?
Fair enough, although that's also trivially easy to account for.

Full AGI is likely uneconomic anyway. I think the sweet spot is going to be right below wherever we ultimately draw the "gets to have rights" line.

There would still be good reasons to do AGI, and free artificial minds would be able to contribute greatly to society. But sufficient AI alignment to make existing systems comfortable with this is fundamentally counter to AI rights.

Laws change as society and technology advances. If your argument is that every permissionless NFT sale is illegal and criminal because it cannot be KYC’d, my argument is that this law is dumb and needs to be rewritten given that many people and companies are now exploring NFTs as legal and taxed income, and most celebrities and companies selling NFTs in the last two years are not going through the same hardships as the OP.

Many technical innovations went into Amazon warehouses. They pioneered random placement of items to load balance the aisles and workers, and rely more heavily on robotics than previous warehouses did. These things weren't feasible in the mid 90s.

I suspect the reason it is so terrible to work at one is that designing a fulfillment scheduling algorthm that can handle 10% variance in human throughput is really hard. (The main complaints the workers have involve bathroom breaks!)

They realize they are running out of people they have not burned out yet, and are looking into fixing it before exhausting the entire US labor pool, so clearly they've created a massive quality of life issue for the workers.

Only 4% of the US population hunts for themselves anymore. There are only 800,000 sworn LEO in the US (including Feds). Only 13% of adults have an advanced degree while the population response to polls is 30% or more possess such a degree.

Even today our daily beliefs of our society are off from “truth”. But direct collaboration is easy to see. It calls into question the value of social story and theories, imo.

Coffee culture has existed in the US since the 1700s at least when Americans started drinking coffee instead of tea to spite the British, it's just a different coffee culture than the modern cafe espresso culture and it's not "better" or "worse".
Any mutation could be "dangerous." We're just used to a system that produces mutations randomly so we estimate the danger to be in the background. Targeted changes also can produce unknown side effects, which to my understand are what non-GMO folks fear. Toxicity, missing nutrients, etc. could certainly be issues with adjustments, but I don't think the right approach is to fear so much as to attack things two fold: test the biological systems outputs, and learn the biological systems outputs sufficiently to simulate impacts.
As someone working on some of this stuff:

(1) Open source models for image generation that are comparable to what DALLE2 or Imagen can spit out will be available by the end of next year. There will be nothing for OpenAI or Google to monetize.

(2) These models aren't magic. Often to get the content generation you want you need to finetune the models. 21st century graphic designers are well aware of AI image generation are looking forward to streamlining animation, etc. Half of the people I know doing ML pipelines right now are actually graphic designers. In a few years what formerly took whole studios will be able to be done by a single person. Want to make your own animated movie? With enough effort, fine tuning, and going through the generation of millions of images, it will soon be possible.

(3) By finetuning with your own unreleased images, you will always get an image model better at making your style of art than whatever is available to the public. You can use your proprietary fine tuned model to create art you enjoy or sell.

(4) Everyone should keep in mind that 50 years ago, to make a high definition film required a studio and millions of dollars to pay production crew. We're getting to the point where a single person can do that on their phone. I don't think the future is as dark as what everyone thinks it will be, and shaking out the tedium of jobs, even art, is going to help redirect our collective brain effort to more important tasks or more beautiful works.
