Full-time YouTuber here. This is unfortunately true.

YouTube's official position is that the monetization status of a video is not a factor in search and discovery, and that is probably true. But according to YouTube, all of the factors that impact advertiser friendliness (read: monetization) are factors in search and discovery.
Fast forward to today, there are over 1.7 billion websites on the Internet, and we now have millions of YouTubers with a wider reach of information being disseminated easily. Throughout history, from electricity to telephones to automobiles to computers and the Internet, technology has made leaps that have created entirely new industries and economies. Anoth...
You're right about the particulates, but I believe that burning wood can't really cause climate change.

Wood is already in the biosphere. Even if we don't burn it, it will decompose and release all its CO2 that way, or burn in a forest fire. The CO2 of that wood is already circulating.

It doesn't actually increase CO2 levels the way that digging up long-buried fossil fuels does.
> Maybe you don't believe in souls but can you disprove that they exist?

Can you disprove that mouse souls exist?
That’s not the claim in the article.

From the article:

> For example, as shown in Figure 3B, past floor costs used in IAMs have already repeatedly been violated. We know of no empirical evidence supporting floor costs and do not impose them (see Document S1 section “The use of floor costs in endogenous technological learning models”).

So there is no claim that there will not be a floor. Just that the floor costs have been wrong for decades, and imposing them has led to extremely wrong predictions. So including them in an analysis is likely to again mislead rather than help.

Also, there’s a whole bunch of discussion about not using floor costs. So the “critique” is not much of a critique since it does not engage with the actual claims being made and the detailed explanations justifying those choices.

Should interventions be limited to supporting a middle class?
> By some readings of section 230

No, only by a reading of a made up text that some people wish was in section 230. If you're bringing it up I'm sure you've had pointed out before that there is no publisher/platform distinction in it.

> Also, IIRC moderation rules are allowed, and if your rule is "no politics on the forum" and someone talks politics, they can be banned.

The first person you ban is going to argue with you about the definition of "politics". So many people have been through this idea before, and it always leads right back to "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone".
I disagree with the grandparent comment, but upvoted it as a topic of discussion. We might as well have someone say the quiet part out loud so that we can pick it apart. No doubt Uber C-levels sleep soundly telling themselves these kinds of things and their lobbyists use these kinds of arguments.
> Maybe it's just poorly worded, but this seems too subordinate and gives off a parent-child power dynamic.

When you are subordinate to the other party in the conversation and they view the situation through parent-child power dynamic applies, which is common in many business environments, this is good advice.
There’s something more weird about tying healthcare to employment. In fact, it’s largely an accident of history:

> In 1943 the War Labor Board, which had one year earlier introduced wage and price controls, ruled that contributions to insurance and pension funds did not count as wages. In a war economy with labor shortages, employer contributions for employee health benefits became a means of maneuvering around wage controls.

If anyone is curious about the full list of funders:

> This work was supported by funding from Partners for a New Economy (R.W. and J.D.F.); Baillie Gifford (J.D.F.); the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 730427 (COP21 RIPPLES) (R.W.); and the Oxford Martin School , through the Institute of New Economic Thinking and the Post-Carbon Transition programme ( LDR00530 ) (M.C.I. and P.M.). This research was also funded by the Economics of Energy Innovation and System Transition project ( EEIST ), which is jointly funded through UK Aid by the UK Government Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation ( CIFF ) (R.W. and M.C.I.).

It would be truly extraordinary if George Soros was able to use his indirect connection to one of eight funders of this study to influence its findings, but I suppose we'll never know for sure.
On Replicate it takes maybe around 10-15 seconds. My M1 Pro only has 16GB and 8 cores and takes about 1 minute, so maybe the lower specs make quite a difference.
We read Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" in our high school economics class as an aside. Then again, I went to a high school where the government civics class started with reading the Mayflower Compact, The Social Contract, Wealth of Nations, and several excerpts from other sources which inspired the American Founding Fathers before spending the second half of the semester reading and discussing the Constitution line by line.

There's no NN that can outperform a human on accuracy or on number of categories it knows, the best you could hope for is being significantly worse, but faster. Even our best nets know only a tiny fraction of what a human can classify and have noticeably worse accuracy.

You'll want to be running a huge state-of-the-art network trained on large datasets on it to approach human capabilities and I don't think 2.5TFLOPS will cut it.

I had a look around and this thing is probably more in the right ballpark: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/autonomous-machines/embedded-sy...

It uses up to 60W for 270TFLOPS at full power, but its processing power should be in the right ballpark to at least do decently with something trained on the best datasets there are.

There's a chance much smaller hardware would do if only our software was advanced enough, but it's probably not. I'm not sure where we are really at, hence my original question. You'd need to somehow work out Watts/HumanPerformance.
As a not-Texan, almost all of what I hear about Texas is oil, conservatism, failed power systems during winter, anti-abortion-rights, and using immigrants as political theater by sending them to DC/NY.

Sounds like the kind of thing someone would be transparent about. As far as I know, there is no evidence that any of his claims are true. They could be, but he has a huge monetary incentive to lie.

Also, his vague language is a bit of a red flag. I put money back into my community when I spend it. But I call that shopping, not altruism.

Yes, you're choosing to do what "that guy" would do, hopefully only in exceptional circumstances. Like with any apology, people who say "not to be that guy" can be sincere or just making an excuse to make their own lives easier.
> "By your logic above, an indentured servitude would count as a "not being taken advantage of" and by implication, reasonable moral form of employment."

No it wouldn't. Indentured servitude requires someone to be indentured, which is immediately in conflict with OP's correct observation that no one is being forced to work. They directly hinged their question on the premise that the workers are free to make choices.

OP's question regarding the free choices of previously unemployed workers is valid. Questioning why 1099 employment isn't "moral" as you put it is also valid.

> > People are not agents of free will, and any sub-utopic framework they have to participate in is immoral?

> This is a straw man argument to its core. No one is, or has suggested that all labor should be abolished unless it meets a utopian ideal.

Actually your response is the straw man here, because you have introduced and attacked an absolute (all labor) where one did not previously exist.

You're projecting the errors you yourself are making onto OP.

It doesn't feel much different to any other language that people have been burned by (e.g. Javascript). I have some bad C++ experienced, and I know enough programmers I respect who stick to C over C++.

Of course it's difficult to equate that kind of advice/feedback to negative comments on HN. But often, there's some kernel of truth there. So while there's some merit to C++, the criticism can equally be valid. And keeping the underlying complexity of C++ (similar to how Carbon will) might not meaningfully simplify development).
This is a fascinating area. Of we do have "materials" here that came from outside of our solar system because we all contain atoms with higher atomic numbers than helium, like carbon, oxygen etc, that have been through multiple solar "cycles" that gradually make higher atomic number atoms as stars go through the ages. So you and I are both made of matter that came that way, from outside the solar system.

Of course it's different if we have rocks or some such that we could tell came directly out of the solar system, and not assembled directly here.

It's a mistake to think of much of the American right as a legal movement or theory vs something more akin to a moral or religious one. Consistency is not the point. The examples of this in the media are the easiest to see: consider the performative outrage and hurt feelings you'll get on a Monday with the grief of how everyone is such a snowflake today on a Tuesday.

(EDIT: this is in all likelihood true for every political party everywhere - that in practice not every decision comes down to strict application of some theory - but the American right often makes fairly strong claims to some inherent pureness of principle that cannot be backed up by the facts of their behavior.)

All of your examples are incredibly unlikely things for two informed parties to enter into. In fact, the reasons those laws exist is because of the information asymmetry. That seems reasonable to me.

But gig workers are not under the illusion that they are going to receive healthcare or other benefits. It's like if I took a job offer for $X and then demanded I was being exploited because I want $Y. I fully support gig workers in pushing for more, I absolutely do. These are natural market forces. Everyone should act in their own self interest...we know that Uber will.

I just think that in this instance, this qualifies as government overreach.
Classes in society necessitate a qualitative differentiator. If you want to argue that it's fair that some people are rich while some people are poor, there has to be some natural inherent difference between the rich and the poor. Canonically in the western world it's usually "gumption" or "intelligence". You'll rarely find that argument made explicitly, but it's implicit in all discussions that presuppose economical classes.

Once that observation is made, it becomes clear that the argument is actually: This class of people is unfit for better work, and without our poverty wages they would die. In my opinion that's very similar to the idea that the "negro" was inferior to the white man and therefore it was by his grace that the "negro" was allowed to exist.

Show HN: WalletWatch – a social network for Ethereum wallets
Hey HN,

I’m Kamil and one of the two people working on WalletWatch. We recently graduated college and have been getting more into crypto / web3 over the past year.

A few of our friends had been getting into crypto more recently, but we noticed that it was hard to actually see what they were doing or natively engage with the transactions they were committing. Products like blockchain.com and etherscan.com were too technical, and products like Context or Zerion lacked key features that make modern products social, such as descriptions, likes, and comments.

We built WalletWatch as an easier, more social, and more fun way to see and engage with your friends’ Ethereum activity. We don’t ask for your email or password, and instead authenticate by asking users to sign a transaction with their Ethereum wallet; we ask for usernames to give a more familiar and user-friendly experience for people that haven’t purchased ENS or other crypto domain names. At the moment, we’re storing user data in Firebase instead of on-chain because the current decentralized channels are too expensive or slow.

We consider WalletWatch as pre-alpha. The website only renders in a mobile viewport and isn’t totally visually or computationally optimized, because we wanted to see if people liked this thing enough for us to spend more time making it polished.

We’d love any feedback you all have! Please e-mail me at kamil@fwd.exchange or Blockscan Chat me at my address: 0x85eEF00b9a78A993359E94FD3Bcf65e9BDe909FB

> the cynical would say purposefully

Underfund public services, complain that they are bad and move them to more expensive private companies is a well known tactic to increase private profits a the cost of citizens well-being. It is tried over Europe by parties in more or less the same form.

There are many studies that demonstrated how, for example, health care is way more expensive in private hands. If that is incompetence or malice I will go for the quote "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

It is extremely damning that someone that suffers a traumatic experience like is rape is thrown into a for-profit system which goal is maximizing profit.

It only results in those if you keep the regulation levels high, which we have now. We need a multi-faceted approach which lets the market lower prices. Local control, local solutions. More efficiency, human touch, love.

No solution is perfect, but that’s a world that’s more personal for those helping and being helped. It also is more economically efficient. I’m not saying this is the only solution, but one that starts with robbing your neighbor is the moral low route and we should and can do better.

I worry there's going to be a "the perfect is the enemy of the good" problem with self-driving.

There will reach a point, likely soon, where on a damage per million kilometres level, a self-driver is safer than an average human, and eventually a good human driver. But I worry it will take years and years extra to get self-driving legally approved, because people will hang up on the corner cases where the best human drivers under ideal circumstances could avoid an incident the self-driver fails.

I sort of hope the insurance industry will take the vanguard here, because they can see the "claims per million kilometres" number and get less hung up on the "my specific individual experience was bad" anecdata.

I can relate so much… I don’t have any hearing loss and I’m in my mid 40s, but I no longer watch anything I truly need to pay attention to without captions or subtitles. In fact, I like foreign films because picture and caption is enough for my brain - it’s like I have 2 brain channels and voice is simply a distraction / noise.

I think partly it’s because English is not my native language so caption in the early days helped. I also grew up with radio (no electricity / TV) - so I mostly listened and made up my own pictures. That said, I don’t completely tune out the voice now - it’s useful for tone and inflections but I depend on captions to get the the compete picture.
Can we really build batteries at the scale needed for this? I’m a bit skeptical.

It’s really not this complicated at all, and arguments like this just come across like reaching for a rebuttal.

What these people want is very simple: a clear standard uniformly applied and not done so in a partisan fashion. Everyone is onboard with preventing the scenario you brought up: it’s not killing free speech, it’s stopping egregious spam. This is completely orthogonal to that.

This is about not getting banned for disagreeing with one side’s political ideology. We’ve managed to do that before - even just a decade ago, and manage to do it now on other platforms, all without ridiculous hypotheticals like this one every occurring.

One your last paragraph: yes, you’re 100% exaggerating. This scenario is as reasonable as saying “legal self defense is dangerous because just think of all the bad actors that will murder and call it self defense!”. It’s just nonsense and goes against all evidence.
The REAL power comes from the libraries. In the Olden Days, we would call these 'subroutines' -- libraries contain the gussied-up subroutines that make it possible to do amazing things in Python with that "10% of the language" we use.

> Rooftop solar is dangerous because people are putting stuff on roofs and can fall off in the process

This is very misleading. Roofing is dangerous and deaths when installing panels are blamed on solar energy.

Yet, people need to build and rebuild roofs anyways. If solar panels or shingles are installed when a house is built or refurbished accidents should not be blamed on solar energy.

Additionally, some countries (especially US) have poorly enforced work safety regulations and that can be improved. Plus, houses can be built with safe roofs i.e. flat roofs.
