It'll be interesting to see who's right: Matt or Brooks. Matt essentially argues that AI can be trained to take the responsibility of specifying a system, which is the opposite of what Brooks argues in his essay No Silver Bullet.

Of course, I'm assuming that we are writing programs to specify what and how a system should work. It could be that AI (but not AGI) is so advanced that specifying a system can be compressed into training a model.
It was not. UK/EU were large factors since it was an extension of the agreements made during the League of Nation formation. The original UN secretary notes indicate specifically this is true; especially since INTERPOL was created for drug policing in the first place.

The US has been EU/UKs oppression outlet for far too long.
An honor system is great if you want to run a free transit system. Every honor system train I've encountered soon devolves into a case of 90% or more of passengers simply not paying. That's fine if that's the goal but it's no way to run a system where fares are expected to fund it in any meaningful way.
The biggest one is likely housing as a store of value or investment. Countries which don't embrace that view of housing, like Japan, have significantly less problems with housing supply despite having fewer points of concentration to spread the population across.

There, luxury housing (e.g. high rise condos in the heart of the city) are of course still expensive but more affordable housing is broadly available, mostly in residential districts. Houses are seen as a liability and as such property with housing on it deprecates much the way a car would in the US. As a result it's not too difficult to find housing for sale for prices below ~$200k USD in the Tokyo metro area with options opening up considerably if you bump the upper limit to $300k USD. Those prices are unheard of in most US metro areas, with even the most dumpy closet of an apartment you can find fetching prices higher than that. Also note that this is just what's visible to me as a foreigner — there's likely a large number of properties that I can't see.

This is also partially enabled by their extensive public transportation. It's much less of a problem to not be in the heart of the city when getting there costs ¥500 or less and is a ~30 minute ride that you're free to read, catch up on email, etc during.

So in short, 1) housing should be treated as homes, not investments 2) most US cities need more density 3) public transportation needs to be expanded and properly supported.
I see you’ve read the blog post by noted military historian Bret Devereaux and boiled the whole thing down to three sentences for everyone, but you’ve missed some of the nuance that makes him so fascinating to read.

This describes the “enterprise architects” at my company. They read a few white papers, make nice PowerPoints, send the work to some offshoring company. The systems produced either don’t work or have serious problems but in the meantime they have already moved into another project and leave cleaning up the mess to other people.
Some historians believe FDR was aware of the Pearl Harbor ahead of time and allowed it to take place in order to have a pretext to enter the war, essentially starting WW2.

> you do every thing purely on merit, every decision is only technical?

Yeah, honestly. The vast majority of my hard decisions I made were based on schedule and resources: having to kill things or move people around. The only "political" anomaly I witnessed was that it seemed the employees at the Israel Design Center at Intel were getting promoted to principal at a much faster rate, and with much less years and experience, for what didn't seem like actual merit. But that didn't impact me other than some jealousy, because the line for principal promotion in my division(s) were very long with really really smart people. And I've seen many principals get shown the door for poor performance.

One possibility is that I never reached a level where politics mattered, or teams were small enough that it didn't have time to foment. And there certainly people who lived to become managers because they thought it was a status symbol, but I was happy for them to do the job.

Another could be that I'm just... well, daft. Both are possible. :)

I think that's because a good amount of 1x engineers could be 10x engineers if given the right kinds of support. When leadership makes sure they have that support, they become 10x engineers. If you only ever see clusters of 10x engineers, it's more likely to be about the factors around them than the engineers themselves.
I never worked for a software group at Intel. And I started there in 1989. I'm not out to convince a non-believer like yourself. Just sharing my experience.

EDIT: Intel certainly had a lot of dumb projects over the years, from POTS videoconferencing boxes in the 90's to its attempt at an iMac-like modular cloud server box. But that was largely paranoia pushing them to explore every possible corner.

But again, your experience is not my experience, and I'm not the one telling you that you are lying.

Writing a program is still the most efficient way to explain a lot of things, even to another human - I've been in plenty of meetings where hours of explaination and examples only added confusion, whereas 20 minutes of pseudocode or 5 minutes of real code made it very clear what we were talking about.

If you just want to do the same thing you currenty do but faster, AI will handle that. But modelling a business process properly and making it explicit will still bring huge value to those who care to put the effort in.

The defense industry is a mammoth thing. Not everyone is going to see all of it, but "staff engineers" have been a thing in the military for like 150 years now. The staff descriptor just means they're specialists in some technical field like civil engineering or medicine that provide guidance and solve problems. The modern tech definition hasn't drifted very far.

We should rename all the accountants "staff" though.
I am not sure if this is smart technically but from an environmental perspective I prefer cars to have passive sensors. Blasting out ultrasound and Lidar is pollution that can impact animals.

> presidents should be accomplishing these things in the legislature through party discipline and direct appeals to voters to help him rid himself of specific legislators

And how, exactly, do you propose he do that, given the current political landscape in the US?

Congress is gridlocked. Incumbents almost never lose their seats. The people who care enough to vote and support the issues are already voting as hard as they can.

This announcement? This is him doing what he can, both in terms of his legal ability to change things, as the chief executive, and in terms of using the bully pulpit, making clear where his and his administrations' priorities lie.

Basically, it sounds like you're saying "if the President can't force the legislation he wants to materialize and get through a Congress that is historically dysfunctional, that means he doesn't really care about the issue."
One should demonstrate an actual, tangible, serious raison d'etre that is within the bounds of the modern legal system before bothering to find out if it's plausible.

From your link:

“As with all articles of the Convention on Psychotropic Substances, the provisions of Article 22 are only suggestions which do not override the domestic law of the member countries:

4. The provisions of this article shall be subject to the provisions of the domestic law of the Party concerned on questions of jurisdiction.

5. Nothing contained in this article shall affect the principle that the offences to which it refers shall be defined, prosecuted and punished in conformity with the domestic law of a Party.”

Do you have a reference link to the amendment that you are claiming nullifies this?

Or are you claiming that Article 23 was amended such that Party states cannot be selectively stricter than the Convention?
> Independent jobs go beyond what is usually understood as embarrassingly parallel.

Independent = embarrassingly parallel, i.e. CPU bound. You want to apply some f on x to get y ==> y = f(x). You have many cases of x, all with f applied independently to get all the independent y outputs. There is no difference between "independent" and "embarrassingly parallel" in this case.

This is not theory BTW -- I've been doing it for the last month. This is a very real, evidence based observation.

US has attacked numerous sovereign countries, and we did nothing against them and even helped them. Numerous european/nato countries have solders occupying sovereign countries even today (even my shitty small one has soldiers in syria now), and noone cares about those countries, those people and those agressors (well.. us, agressors).

Why are we acting differently now? I mean.. I know.. "it's ok when we do it", but atleast stop with the bullshit about sovereing states and lives, because we didn't care when we did the occupations and we still don't care while we're occupying those countries now.

And again, I'm from a small shitty country, and our soldiers are currently occupying syria... countries like france, have a lot longer lists of occupied countries, and countries like america should be sanctioned to oblivion decades ago.

I presume you’ve not raised kids of your own. If you had, you’d know that constant monitoring of older children is both infeasible and unhealthy. Children don’t magically become responsible at age 16 or 18; they get there by participating in the world in age-appropriate ways. That includes the Internet.

It’s true that the Internet has dark places, but it also has wonderful places that are good for children to socialize and learn. It’s the job of parents to guide children to use the Internet responsibly. This isn’t easy, and tragedies will occur. That’s true for all aspects of life.

The President is not God, or a king. People seem to be confused about the role and powers of the President in our system. What, exactly, do you wish the President had said on his bully pulpit about Enron??

I always find it bizarre that people blame the President for everything that happened on his watch, just as much as I think it bizarre that they give him all the credit. I mean, I generally think Clinton was a good president, but he also had much more than his fair share of luck in presiding during a booming economy (which would have boomed no matter who was president at that time).

Only the most rudimentary linear models predict non-negligible diffuse loss of life from these events. More robust models predict minimal impact, or even a net positive impact on health! E.g. radiation hormesis models.

This can always be an excuse. Things can't be done because they can't be done. The fact is that he's giving speeches about how much he hates China and Russia, and not about legalizing pot.

He's also one of the engineers of the shitty situation that we're in, he's had an abusively and militantly anti-drug pol his entire career, so I'm not ever going to be convinced by this woe is me lark. He's not doing his best, he's being pushed (if he's even being adequately informed.) The best case scenario is that some people in his administration think that drug law reform is important, either morally or politically. There is no scenario in which the actual Biden is sympathetic towards drug users, or regretful of the lives that he personally contributed to ruining over drugs.

> how, exactly, do you propose he do that

The answer is do politics. If he doesn't know how to do politics, it would be better if someone else were doing the job.
