If your compensation agreement is based on x-hours of work and you deliberately put in less to “choose life” then you are slacking. You agreed to exchange a fixed amount of time for a fixed amount of money and are not delivering on your promise because you are slacking. I wouldn’t call it theft, but it’s definitely slacking.
it's fine to dream of ways to replace work with automation, for massive productivity increases to lead not only to bigger investor returns but also a higher standard of living, and to talk about how it can be realized without waiting around for it to happen or making everyone's lives worse. aren't we mostly dev types here, where this is what we think of already all the time - how to reach your goals with less action and time. why choose to owe all that time saved to your boss where the primary reward is more work to spend that newly-gained spare time on (I know the reasons people give)
Are workers getting more productive, or are tools and technology getting more productive?

It used to take a room full of highly trained engineers using slide-rules, protractors, and graphing paper to design the newest car or plane. Now it's done in AutoCAD. But it's not obvious to me why the employee should collect the difference for the capital investment poured into technology.

In other words, it's not as if humans have evolved since the 1970s to be more productive. Any gains are entirely the consequence of investments in tech and tools and modern managerial techniques.

Hi HN! I'm Nick, CTO of SideGuide, happy to answer your questions as well :)
>The question is "why are we raising children this way when we weren't raised this way ourselves?"

I feel like the investment into individual children is much much higher than it used to be (time/resources/emotions). When you have 5 kids it's not that you don't care, but you literally can't be as protective about them as you can when you're only raising one or two. And then as people have less children the norms gradually change.

You think that if a thousand cartel guys showed up at a nuke plant with the intention of melting it down that armor and airstrikes would help matters? I think that would just help them actually.
I've recently been heading into the office pretty often due to noisy home renovation works and can relate - I love my mostly-bike-path commute. But for embarrassing reasons I chose to take a car during peak hour yesterday and it was truly a horrible experience. I don't mind moving "slowly" (and note that in most cases within 15km of home my average travel speed on a bike is better than in a car) but being stuck behind unmoving traffic for what seems like interminable periods of time is just incredibly stressful and frustrating.
I think we are all tiptoeing around the issue to be honest. What is the actual problem here and what can be a possible solution?. The problem is obviously that these cartels from MEXICO are taking away high paying jobs away from AMERICAN drug dealers. One of the possible solutions is to intervene so that those jobs come back to America.

Let's be more specific about WHICH gallon we're talking about.

> They could form their own company. doing whatever it is they are striking from doing. They have exactly the skills and roughly enough people. If the industry that they're in requires real up-front investment then they could jump industries.

I've got a friend who is a railway engineer. His company is slashing their workers' pay and making redundancies that he says will compromise safety. Meanwhile, executive bonuses have increased massively and they have increased dividend payments.

What would your suggestion be? Start their own railway company? How much capital would that take? You say "jump industries" but not everyone can jump industries. It's really not that easy. He's highly skilled. If you just "jump industries", how do you avoid starting again as a junior? What if you are providing for a family?

> start pooling their resources looking for some economies of scale

What are you thinking of? Could you give some examples? I might be interested in investing. I don't know of any investment opportunities that benefit from economies of scale. If there were some, wouldn't they be dominated by the bigger investors already?

> find some excess cash and start investing that.

You need cash first to invest it. What do you if your company is reducing your pay?

> Or they could put their energy into political activism rather than fighting the only person on the planet who is currently willing to give them money.

I'm all for political activism. But that's very long term, and doesn't necessarily benefit you directly. If you need to pay your mortgage now and put food on your table and buy Christmas presents it's not a helpful suggestion. Assuming you don't mean union activism, which can be immediately beneficial.

Honest question: Although food choices are affecting health & lifespan of the average American, is it affecting the HIG as well?. Is the health & longevity impacted by generally available food options (not weighing in the effects of better health insurance & lifestyle comforts)?

It would be extremely valuable to understand if there is still reasonable impact from the quality of food produce (as a byproduct of intensive cultivation & other agriculture practices in N America). Health issues and obesity issues are significantly worse in US as compared to other developed countries - and how much food is responsible in middle- and high-income group is worthwhile to understand
In NYC in the 70s housing was literally free - Harlem brownstones sold for a dollar. It hasn't always been this way.
And the practicalities of a war would necessitate an effort to stop that, to prevent the spread of enemy combatants behind the front line. Even if you search everybody passing through the border for weapons.. ...it's America. They can get weapons here.

Is this really true? In life I noticed that many things are counter intuitive. I have seen people who work hard to finish something don't get good opportunities as they are always busy and the opportunities goes to someone who is free currently.

Closer to the opposite - lack of universal healthcare in the USA is a huge downside for most employers here. And I suspect that any decent study would find that just not offering real healthcare (to employees) is 2+ orders of magnitude more common than "or else you won't get healthcare" blackmail.
He advocates to be intolerant of those who refuse engage in rational argument and those who opt for violence.

The nuance is in the limit. If a person, in their intolerance, is resorting to violence towards those that are not doing likewise, then they are in the wrong. Even if they believe that they are abiding by the limit when doing so. Rational argument should always be the preferred course of action, and intolerance and violence only as a bitter last resort.

> Capitalists are taking a larger and larger share every year. Is that ethical?

How is this possible? Wouldn't capitalists willing to take a smaller share (higher wages, better product for lower price) out-compete those that don't? It seems to me that the major advantage of capitalism is protection from this type of situation?
Yep, I was just thinking the same thing. M1/M2 appears to be a huge untapped resource for ML stuff as this proves. I maxed out my MBP Max and this is probably the first time I'm actually fully using the GPU cores and it's pretty freaking cool. Creating landscapes or fictional characters (think D&D) is already super fun, I look forward to playing with img2img some more as well.
This is widely believed, at least the first part, but not true.

People (trade unionists) made eight-hour workdays happen, but Henry Ford made a five-day workday happen[0]. As I stated, most labor rights came about because of blood, sweat, and tears. Just... not that particular one, oddly enough.

The fact that Ford's five-day work weeks were made up of eight-hour days, for that you can think unions and the hard work of many people! But the shift from six days to five, not so much.

P.S. OP was probably not working age in 1926, as they would need to be to have made the shift happen originally.

Unreasonableness will have an impact as to whether costs are awarded and/or how much will be awarded but the general principle is still that the losing side pays. Obviously, that will vary depending on the circumstances of the case but most cases don't encounter costs objections on reasonableness grounds.

I particularly don't like the Geoguessr metas that are specific to Google Street View. In particular, expert Geoguessr players know about (1) which generation of imagery Google captured in which places (the quality gets higher over time), (2) which imaging artifacts are present from panorama stitching problems in which places (like "rifts" in the sky), (3) which kinds of cars were used where and what parts of the car you can see when you look down, and (4) which countries had a specific vehicle escort the Street View car.

I think the usefulness of these things is kind of sad because they are specifically about Google Street View rather than about the outside world. I would contrast that with something like utility poles, because while that's not exactly core cultural knowledge about a society, it's actually something that you would see for yourself if you were there. And it could potentially be interesting and useful in its own right. (For example, one might consider why particular countries adopted particular utility pole styles. Maybe they were faced with local insects or weather that damaged poles of a certain style, so they had to switch to a different kind?)
Because the international class that sets policy - and is heavily represented on this site - would lose money if they did so. Better to focus on idpol like ingroup/outgroup blame.

Please allow me to answer your question in the form of some more questions.

Why are all the bosses trying so hard to get everyone back in the office?

Why are people working from home being subjected to all kinds of "productivity tracking" that results in things like special cradles to put your mouse in to keep it moving around so you look like you're at the computer when you're actually staring off into space thinking about work stuff, at the bathroom, or slacking off in the many ways nobody would care about if you were doing that slacking at work? [1]

Why doesn't your job have a union that can decide that 3-day weekends is a thing they want to negotiate with your bosses for?

Why is modern life structured so that we spend most of our waking hours at work, with little to no room to make social connections elsewhere?

How much more money does your boss make than you do? Why?

Why has the US minimum wage only barely begun to budge past the $7.25/h it was set to in 2009, despite that being below poverty lines for most of the country?

We agree that on a 600x600png there is a finite number of possibilities given a set number of colors.
It could be possible to « brute force » all the images possible which would be the equivalent of trying all the combinations of letters to write a book. So creating things is not really a problem. Creating relevant things from a purpose is.

The fact is, we know no other intelligence except ours. We are the only known being that appreciate art or books, from our subjective conscience.
Can AI create its own art, understood and appreciated by itself ?
Has intelligence a meaning without « humans » ? It’s part of the same thing. So the AI is modeled after ours. So it’s not its own thing and cannot understand what it creates and if what is created is relevant. AI is just an amazingly powerful tool.
For anyone in this situation and thinking nothing will help, I also had a positive experience with exposure therapy. Around 15 years ago I remember walking to get a pizza and approaching the restaurant getting pins and needles on my back, and drenching myself in sweat from anxiety.

One of my no-gos was going to weight room/area of the gym (I could tolerate cardio area) and one of the first homework activities things my therapist gave me was going to weight room and sitting for 5 mins to do some stretches. It was awful, but within a few months I slowly progressed to the point I was even confident enough to work with a personal trainer.

Slow but consistent incremental exposure to my triggers absolutely made a huge positive impact for me.

It's an interesting problem. If a venue owner rents to anyone, they're obligated to rent to everyone?

I can see this being complicated. One venue owner won't want to host a show because of the race/religion/ethnicity of a comedian. That would be a problem. But what if a band has a reputation for riling up crowds until they riot and tear places apart? Is it a problem for the venue owner to refuse to let them have a show? What if the potential violence isn't as direct, like the venue is threatened with a boycott if a person is allowed to hold a political rally there? Should they be allowed to deny that rally?
But again, I think the idea that the model weights store the source images as if it were a library is fallacious. There. Is no known way to get it to spit back out a copy of a training image.
There was the same major political party doing the same thing in the '90s and the '00s. In fact, some of those rights weren't even rights yet (e.g. gay marriage). The only difference today is the dramatic reaction to it justifying black-and-white thinking.

Even with more polarized political parties today, the world is a lot more complicated than "Republicans Evil." If the teens of today can't grasp that, it's at least a failure of society to develop their emotional resilience (or cynically - it's the fault of an economy that is breeding & preying on their lack of resilience and nuance).

Honest question that came to mind with these numbers:

While some fraction has gone to the corporations/shareholders ("capitalists"), what fraction of the productivity gains has turned into cheaper consumer goods, aka (can't point at the data, just many who comment on it) the populace owns a lot more 'stuff' like electronics than they did 43 years ago, aka QOL gains resulting from productivity.

Or is it just silly of me to not assume that ~100% of gained productivity went straight into corporations'/shareholders' pockets?
Back in the single-room houses of yester-generations, wives and husbands would have sex with their children in the room. There was no stigma to doing so. Queens and kings had sex while people watched to make sure it happened. It really hasn’t been until the last few generations or so where sex and nudity were looked down on. I don’t know what caused it, never cared to look into it. I just find the behavior interesting.
Dim, narrow and low-rez. That characterizes the average appreciation of art.

So when they say it's art. Or it's good or bad art. It really doesn't mean anything at all.

Artists are pretty special in their ability to understand and appreciate (and do) art. They're like a different species.
