Thanks, I see. The NFT purchase gives ownership of SPV and directly putting the name in the land register burns the NFT, i.e., NFT does not give direct land ownership immediately? Unless, of course, direct ownership in the UK is possible without being named in the land register (interest/tax is different) - don't know the specifics there.

In other countries this could be similar to signing a contract to purchase land which creates interest and tax liability prior to entry in registry, but final source of who owns it in the end is a registry.
As is increasingly speculated, humanity has had sophisticated societies for far longer than a few thousand years. Zero chance we just sprung up out of the dirt one day. Guaranteed the ice age destroyed huge swaths of technically primitive but socially advanced civilizations. Two issues with this hypothesis:

1. Over 10,000 years few artifacts can survive degradation

2. There are political motivations for controlling the narrative around evolution and the birth of civilization
The thing is, this is achievable even at 10M.

Hell, one can support the median household income at a reasonable SWR on ~ 2M.

Underlying all of this seems to be paulg's assertion that billionaire founders 'deserve' their wealth and therefore our inequality and their relatively small contribution to the public purse is justified.

I have no problem with founders being rich, but once you're earning 1%er income? You should be paying a hefty amount of taxes to support social spending. Think ~ 2/3rds, like it used to be before the regans and thatchers of the world gutted the social contract in the 80s.

You seem to be asserting a few contradictory things:

1. Taiwan can only be defended with US troops on the ground

2. Ukraine has no US troops on the ground and is being successfully defended

3. The US would only put troops on the ground to protect valuable things like TSMC fabs

4. (by implication) if China attacks Taiwan and destroys TSMC fabs tomorrow, the US would have no incentive to defend Taiwan because the fabs are gone

I don't see it. Ukraine looks likely to survive as a country without US troops on the ground. Ukraine, as you note, has no fabs or similarly valuable assets. Why can't those exact same conditions play out in Taiwan, which is also much much much harder to invade with ground troops than Ukraine was?
You have to weigh the ends against the means. "Repeating the experiments because of sloppiness" is pretty much the bottom of the barrel when it comes to ends, in my opinion.
I lived in one of those basements as a grad student and yeah... the entire building was not well constructed.

There are tons of "having a kid is great" in this thread. I have been present at many conversations in groups along these lines ... in multiple cases, the same people 1 on 1 tell me afterwards the exact opposite, what they have said in a group setting was an outright lie.

Interesting yet very anti-competitive move by Apple.

There are lots and lots of existing providers of karaoke tracks: these invest (depending on quality) between several dollars and several hundreds of dollars to record "soundalike" tracks

Sales of such tracks do not generate royalties for the original performer, but do pay out to the composer (per track sale and for things like public performance).

Apple is now garroting these middlemen using technology, and most likely using this capability as leverage in negotiating with recording artists ("hey, give us a 14-day exclusive on iMusicOrWhateverWeCallItThisWeek, and we'll kick back an additional point on residuals").

This is bad news for the existing providers, and barely good news for anyone else.
RimWorld raids are actually ridiculously easy to defeat.

The problem is that there are two ways to play RimWorld which will lead to very different results there.

A.) You do what "makes sense" to a normal human being dealing with a real situation.

B.) You know the algorithms and minmax.

If do A.) the game can be incredibly frustrating as you watch the colony you spent hours carefully building go down in flames despite the fact that you seemingly did nothing wrong.

In contrast, if you do B.) the game becomes so dead easy that you can't even impress other players anymore by starting alone, naked, as a tribal, on an ice sheet - with one leg!

Have you ever wondered why RimWorld likes to throw that "Imperial Deserter" quest at you right at the beginning of the game?

A.) people will think "This is silly, how could I possibly defeat an Imperial raid right at the start?"

Meanwhile B.) people are like "Sure, no problem. I can build a wodden trap corridor on day 1 which will kill the entire raid before they can even see a single of my pawns."

Also note that RimWorld raids are scaled according to colony wealth and number of pawns in the colony. Thus if you are an A.) player you are probably accidentally signing your own death sentence by e.g building fancy bed rooms for your pawns. Or givign your craftspeople chairs to sit on while they work..

I think the game needs to be rebalanced somehow to make it a less frutstating experience for A.) players. Cheesey tactics like kill boxes which exploit the stupidity of the AI, and seemingly non-sensical decisions like not letting your colonists have chairs, should only be required at the highest difficulty level IMO.
> either push users to upgrade devices, or push to sign up to paid services. Pushing for both at the same time is greedy.

Pushing users to upgrade devices is unethical and harmful. Apple does it all the time and they should be held accountable for that.

Discarding old devices and creating new ones destroys the environment and increases pollution. The best device is the device you already own!

Their successful business strategy results in environmental destruction and other issues. Wh

But you could also say that "it'd be pretty much impossible to make progress in anything with that sort of attitude" where "that sort of attitude" is one where there's no sense of urgency and people work at a leisurely pace. It only depends on where on the spectrum from "greater good" to "individual animal rights" you stand.

I think to those folks arguing that we eat meat, it makes sense that this isn't a big number given the potential greater good, in comparison to all the meat we uselessly eat out of mere personal dietary preference.

As for me, I don't really have a formed opinion on this. I would err on the side that the greater good is served, but of course would rather if animals weren't needed, or minimize how much harm is done to them. These are are philosophical questions, and it's difficult to untangle which conclusion is pure versus pragmatic, versus convenient.

What does this have to do with the EU and the US? The program just launched in 8 European countries, 7 of which are in the EU, several months after launching in the US. I don't see any clear pattern that has to do with the EU considering the program was launched in a non-EU country first and still isn't available in much of the EU.

I think the budget management could be solved. Just allow setting a schedule. You can be paid weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.

With something like CBDC that would be pretty simple to solve.
This is a really dumb idea. Perhaps the author of the article or idea would not qualify for this "universal" income.

A large problem with the decline in intellectual curiosity relates to the "teach to the test" mentality adopted in so many places where students are not encouraged to think about or reason through problems, only to regurgitate blurbs and numbers.

My kids went through a Montessori education from infancy until they were about 9-12 years old (can't remember). Under that philosophy, they learned whatever interested them at their own pace and they were not only allowed, but they mixed with kids older and younger so that all could play off of and learn from each other. Older kids mentored younger kids. The materials they worked with challenged them to think about the subject matter.

We moved them to a private school later and they were ahead of everyone in their grade level. Both are in college with one graduating with a MS this week and continuing to a PhD next spring and the other finishing up a BS.

I always felt under-utilized as a Dad resource because my kids almost never asked for help with their homework. I wanted to dig in and help them understand the materials they were covering. They didn't need my help because they had the mental tools to think through things on their own.
If you stick a front-end on this (not the vanilla API/UI), then that component can maintain e.g. list of new names, terms, places, etc. And hyperlink those to options like (show wiki, ask GPT, etc.) That is what I am doing manually now.

The product possibilities of this tech are very exciting. Frankly, for the first time in yearrrs am excited about the idea of starting a company; a handful of ideas already. I wonder what terms openAI will be offering for commercial use.

The motivation for this choice is not "convenient parsing" but deeper considerations of language design. As explained at https://github.com/jgm/djot#rationale , this choice follows from two desiderata: (1) "The syntax should compose uniformly, in the following sense: if a sequence of lines has a certain meaning outside a list item or block quote, it should have the same meaning inside it." (2) "The syntax should be friendly to hard-wrapping: hard-wrapping a paragraph should not lead to different interpretations, e.g. when a number followed by a period ends up at the beginning of a line." The document explains the compromise we made in commonmark to avoid the need for blank lines. Djot tries to be more principled.
They didn't lose $3T.
Back in the day, we just took a channel differential (L minus R) with one channel high passed so the difference didn't have all the bass eliminated.

Tons of reasons it sucked: stereo reverb on vocals wouldn't cancel out, other instruments panned dead center (or at least highly correlated) would cancel out along with the vocal, and early MP3 encoders often sounded better in "joint stereo" or "intensity stereo" mode (assuming low/mid bitrates) which very reasonably gave more bits to the center and fewer bits to the sides, so the differential sounded like hot garbage.

Exciting to see that this technique has been replaced with ML.
Electric cars can not possibly exist on a large scale outside of massive investments in energy infrastructure.

I was fooled through a link that was sent to my Facebook account, which ended up costing me, since I was not able to use my Facebook account again. I was not able to log in since my login in details were changed, I tried to retrieve back my login details but it wasn't easy for me since I never succeeded. I worked with Francisco Hacker a very intelligent and great hacker, he was so supportive and helpful. At the end he was able to retrieve back my hacked account. Thanks to Francisco hacker for the genius efforts to help me recover my account.

One of the scariest and most depressing aspects when it comes to ChatGPT (so far) is that people already try to use it in such a way.

Same for people that are already talking about using it for medical diagnoses and such, without ever having seen a single proper independent and peer reviewed study when it comes to chatgpts accuracies in specific fields (and that is ignoring all the other potential short term and long term problems when it comes to even considering something like that).
That headline/title "NASA Awards $57M Contract to Build Roads on the Moon" condenses information so much that is becomes both false and deliberately misleading.

The actual article says:

> to develop construction technologies to build infrastructure on the moon—including landing pads, habitats and roads.

So the contract isn't to build anything but to develop technologies that could be used to build a wide variety of needed infrastructure on the moon.
Exactly! These tools are force multipliers. 1 dev can do the work of 3.

If this is the case, a business should absolutely lay off 2/3 of their eng staff. If they don’t, their competitors will and then will eat their lunch!

No more lazy devs, they should be at their desks working all 8 required hours as they agreed to in their contract. If they’re not: you have too many staff.
Similar story to mine, 7 YOE backend dev, working non-stop since I got into college, Hope that at least you got some rest.
Oil pipelines have already proven the economic viability.

The choice of abandoning trillions of real estate vs a 10s of billions infrastructure project is obvious.

Article cites the cost as $14B which is effectively nothing vs the alternative. Even $100B is nothing. These two TSMC fabs are $40B alone

So much fearmongering from economically illiterate people. Use your brain

You misunderstand. The bank would be giving you a negative interest rate, so your account balance would always be exponentially decaying.

Cash would allow you to escape this, which is why it would be removed as an option.
Trade is built into our human nature. We all want stuff we can’t have, and no one can produce everything. Even if all the raw materials and all the skills and all the knowledge was possessed, there isn’t enough time for a single (person, city, country) to produce enough to fill all desires.

So we trade to get what we want. This has been the case for all of human civilization and I am confident if you could peer into the earliest time periods the rocks sharpened during the Stone Age traveled far and wide as well. Trying to ban or artificially limit trade is like trying to limit the tides - you are battling against a decentralized force of human desire.

This is the same reason you can’t ban drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling - and on the positive side love, children, religion - both categories of which have been attempted by various governments in recent and distant times.

I like history because it shows us how stable we are as humans. The context changes but our desires and motivations do not.

It sounds like you may be getting tired of hearing about ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI. ChatGPT is a powerful tool for generating human-like text, but it's important to remember that it is just a tool and should be used wisely. It's natural to feel overwhelmed by the constant influx of information about new technologies, but it's important to take a step back and evaluate their potential impacts on society and our daily lives.
>almost universally factories of extraordinary animal suffering

I'd love to see some sources that support such a strong claim. Otherwise, it just comes off as bait for argument.
I agree with the idea in general but some of the errors are just bad science that doesn’t discover anything. Putting the wrong sized chip in a brain? Using a mistaken vertebrae? Not euthanizing as soon as it’s apparent the trial is too flawed to continue? These are just sloppy mistakes.
I am very far from being a billionaire, but as soon as I made it to upper-middle-class, I realized that the hedonistic treadmill would never end, even if I was a billionaire.
It's a never ending fantasy world where everyone looks up and wants to be as rich as the next tier, even though that's rarely possible, and just like the scene in WarGames, "the only winning move is not to play".

> The idea that concentrated wealth is great for everyone and will trickle down has been pretty much debunked

Can you point to an example of someone claiming that concentrated wealth is great for everyone and will trickle down?
Not really. They really work to get the most out of each animals sacrifice. So one day it may be used for a cardiac procedure, the next day some kind of skin drug test, the next day some kind of cardiac drug, etc. So it's not like they use one tiny part of an animal then throw it away. They use the whole animal to get clinical benefit.

It's the same with cadavers. They cut them up and use only the part they need to do the work. It's far less wasteful that way.
It would make more sense to put the mega-fabs where electricity is cheapest in the Americas, and that certainly isn't Arizona.

I don't know about porn, but we know pretty conclusively that obesity and related illnesses can cause ED. Considering the high and rising obesity rate in the US, and the related illnesses also on the rise (diabetes), it's unsurprising we're seeing an increase in ED. If you couple this with falling testosterone levels in American men, there are likely several factors which combine to create a higher incidence of ED. Porn does not need to be the explanation, or even have a strong causative factor to explain our issues as a society.
I'm curious why you ended up having two?

My wife and I are done with the one. I think we got lucky - she is a sweet, fun and fairly easy (for now) two year old, but the decrease in life quality is significant. I didn't want to further extend the monotony of our current life by having a second.

Overall my advice to anyone would be if you are not missing anything in your life and are happy, you don't have to have children. Other people might tell you how great it is (after complaining a bunch, and then complaining some more later) but that's their life, not yours.
My favorite Roguelike is ADOM -- similarly had problems getting into the DF UI, and kind of burned out on Rimworld (can only make so many hats...).

It can be helpful to think of the USA as a giant factory that produces billionaires. Dollars and workers go into the factory as inputs, billionaires (and defects, millionaires) come out on the assembly line, and the system's waste product that gets discarded is the lives and livelihoods of working and middle-class people. So the system is working and producing what it is supposed to produce.
