UBI for geniuses might work something like this. Schoolchildren would be given a succession of IQ tests during their schoolyears: IQ tests because they are the best method we have of assessing raw intellectual ability rather than school learning. A succession because everybody can have an off day — the physicist Richard Feynman liked telling people that he had only scored 124 in an IQ test. Children who score 145 or above would then be offered a life-long genius award.

These people have no idea what they are talking about.

IQ tests are tools. In order to properly assess very high IQ children or twice exceptional -- gifted and disabled -- children, they need to be administered by a qualified professional. Most IQ tests only go to 145. Very high IQs can only be meaningfully assessed by about age 7.

If the tests get overused and it becomes common knowledge what is on them, they stop being useful metrics because now they can be gamed, essentially. Last I heard, we were having trouble updating our IQ tests for various reasons and, also, IQ tests are highly culturally biased. An IQ test for Americans won't effectively assess a Brit or Canadian.

IQ tests are extremely controversial. The first test, created by Binet, that became the starting point of modern IQ tests was not intended to assess intelligence. It was intended to assess school readiness in children in France in an era where not all kids had birth certificates, so you couldn't use age as your metric, and rural kids tended to be less ready for public school than city kids for cultural reasons.
1. Accept that you may never lose your stage-fright, but you may be able to turn that fear to your advantage (motivation to prepare, or improve performance style). Winston Churchill is considered one of the great orators of the 20th century, but he had such bad stage-fright that he had to run out onto the stage. Admiral Lord Nelson, the greatest naval captain since Sir Walter Raleigh suffered from chronic sea sickness. Sometimes these are things that we just work through.

2. Do it a lot and the novelty will wear off, making it easier over time. No replacement for hours behind the wheel.

3. It's not related to anxiety, but the best book on public speaking I've ever read is "Ad Herennium", attributed to Cicero, but probably not written by him. I read it as a teenager and it changed me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetorica_ad_Herennium

How does it compare to the rest of Sweden though?

That’s how I justify it here at least. I mean, I make 500.000kr less than I did in the US, but 900k also puts me in the top 5% of all earners in Norway. So I have a very good quality of life.

The middle class is so compressed here that it’s a super cozy income, and I will never have to worry about anything financially or healthcare related for the rest of my life.

I just have moments of «I want more», which is when I get anxiety and look elsewhere. But honestly not sure I need it in any real way.
It's not like a socialist country could invent things like a satellite, and be the society that figures out how to send a man into space, probes to the moon and other planets - oh yaa, a socialist country is the first country to figure out those things.

> Now I’ll just need my own chatbot representative optimized for solving my problems instead of the company I’m calling

More likely, you instruct your chat bot to call their chat bot to figure out the problem. Because they're bots, they can communicate at a much higher speed, thus bringing in a new era of High Frequency Support Calls.

Companies will build data centers close to the call centers, connected to them by line of sight satellite dishes, such that you can host your bot close to the support bot and shave off some ms connecting to them. This gets you closer to the front of the queue. This will be sold as a Good Thing, because it increases call frequency and allows calls to be priced by the market instead of the pesky phone companies.

Oh! I am glad I'm not the only one who has a problem with its search. I wish it would just make it easy to send a search to the remote server instead of hiding it behind so many layers of complexity. If it's a deliberate feature to avoid sending the query to several servers and leaking private info to server admins via the search feature, I think they could make it easy so that there was always the "send query to server" button that brings up a list of accounts that you can send the query to, instead of only making it visible when there's a single account in context (and then only when it doesn't feel like being buggy).
So SF is interesting, I grew up here. In the early days of the internet I always considered the oracle buildings the northern edge of SV. Took a developer job at TechTV in SF in 99 when SOMA was known as “multimedia gulch” and had a reverse commute from Portola Valley to SF. Mid 2000 SV extended into SF as more of the new Unicorns, Twitter and Zynga (who moved into the office space on Townsend where I had worked) were early ones with the rise of Social Media. That shifted the commute patterns both ways and led to the start of the Google bus.

Patterns haven’t seemed to reverse really but it’s still easier these days to commute I the Bay Area then it was pre-pandemic.
Gonna be honest, the parent comment feels fine. The OP literally made a post on HN to do nothing more but complain that they didn't like to see the words ChatGPT while scrolling on HN.. a topic of great interest that has been out for like a week.
Neah. Crypto is/was a uniquely stubborn kind of hype because investing in it basically is the hype. People who invest in something are -well- invested, and so they keep driving the hype. And for other hypes, like IoT and VR, it's not so clear what people should throw their money at to invest.
I think the more social/political/financial power possessed by the individual threatened by AI, the more resistance there will be to them being disrupted by it. Like look at tech's smug responses to truckers concerned about self driving, and contrast that to the perspective this tweet has toward everybody in tech except for founders. He's literally just insulating a ruling class. This class dynamic is so deeply ironic coming from someone who literally said that "automation is inductive proof that Marx was wrong". It's the opposite!
I sincerely doubt any folk belief around sexuality - given the history of humanity. I grew up (in Russia) with my mom literally telling my 6-ish y/o self "don't touch your pipi or it will turn black and fall off". Given that people went insane 100 years ago when a skirt was short enough to expose an ankle, I doubt that kind of society would produce good folk beliefs around pornography or sexuality in general.

Maybe in the middle part of that period. I'm saying that when it first appeared, it wasn't clearly superior. I'd argue it's also not clearly superior anymore.

To bring my own experience to it, I stuck with Firefox all throughout that period and never had significant bugs, slowdowns or crashes. Though I will admit that there was a period when Chrome felt noticeably smoother.
> Find a partner that is emotionally resilient, calm under pressure, and has a desire to continually better themselves, then go for it.

It sounds like you're blessed (whether in the religious or random probability sense) with a daughter who is your joy. The worst partner and the ugliest divorce in the world can't offset that.

I have no assurance that I'll be similarly blessed, and I don't want to roll those dice, because I have no idea to what degree the game is rigged against me, genetically, environmentally and circumstantially speaking.

Adults can marry, get along, fight with, or divorce adults. But once there's a child in the mix one's hands are tied.

If it's a healthy, loving and developing child, it might all be worth it. The odds of that are not only unknowable, they're relatively risky.

Trusting software is better than trusting humans because if the software is immutable you only have to trust it once! I don't know why so many people don't get this. When you trust human systems you have to keep trusting them forever, because humans are fickle and could decide to screw you at any time.
Are you familiar with "debt bondage"? Technically, the brick kiln workers of India and Pakistan are paid a wage [1]. Closer to home, Amazin warehouse workers probably wouldn't consider themselves as sharing in Amazon's profits. Let me summarize:

1. Debt is built into your existence (student, medical, housing, etc);

2. The system is designed to extract (exploit) value from labor; and

3. There is no value without labor.

That ecosystem moves very fast and... reinvents itself all the time.

Here's another way of looking at that problem:

How many of those tools and technologies existed 1, 3, 5, 10 years ago?

Would you trust a six month-old tool on github to form the nucleus of your -- probably mundane, in the good way! -- project? Would you risk it all for the chance to have a slightly different way of rendering CSS or generating HTML?

... I didn't think so. React's been around for a long time now and it's got a lot of momentum and people who know it. So that's a pretty safe bet. Rinse and repeat.

Not all tools are critical and you do have some leeway. But when in doubt, pick something you can easily hire people to help you accomplish; that has been around a while; and that feels established.

No, it's not. One of the important benefits you get from this layer of indirection is revocability of trust. CAs can be removed from browsers (Google and Mozilla have both removed some of the largest CAs), and DNS roots cannot. Browsers and root store operators can pressure CAs to adopt safeguards like Certificate Transparency --- they simply won't trust CAs that don't. There is no DANE Transparency in part because nobody can pressure TLD operators to adopt it.

There are a whole variety of other problems with a DNS PKI, and with DNSSEC in particular, but when we're talking about issues like this thread, revocability is the the big thing.

I would love if there was actual evidence provided for this claim and its actual effectiveness because this seems to be the sort of "think of the children!" claim that is emotionally very satisfying but ultimately rings hollow.
This is ridiculos and false.

I got my dad to request an André Derain style painting of a cowboy riding a dodo bird. That image most probably didn't exist anywhere before the prompt. I can say the excitement was really real when the output came out! You just have to guide non-tech people into what the tool can do.
Well, it requires fewer more skilled employees. Employees some of whom could be founders themselves and compete with you. So despite the number of employees being lower, their opportunity cost is likely similar or higher, just more concentrated. Therefore what you’d have to pay them if they were negotiating rationally is similar to what you’d pay multiple people.

The limit here is an edge case, it’s like dividing by zero. Sure if you can automate everything the founder gets all the profit. If you only have 1 employee, however, that single employee is immeasurably valuable and has some incredible leverage on you (you’re screwed if they walk). There’s a net benefit to the employer to having a certain amount of redundancy.

So this whole argument (to me) toes the line of sophistry. It just gets a big eyeroll and me thinking Paul is out of touch.
Actually Marx talked a lot about automation. Marx's prediction was this would lead to a lower rate of profit for invested capital which - mainstream establishment sources say is what has been happening.

Agreed. ChatGPT has breathed new life into my creativity and optimism. It feels like a game changer or, at least, a view of a game changer that we'll have in the future.

I share your concern. I am worried that this tech can easily be taken away from me.
They originally focused on founders who were supposed to build their MVP at ycombinator - themselves. But no I see solicitations to hire key technical people for startups that only have an idea and some motivation but not the skills to make it happen themself.
Is that a bad thing? A lot of real world problems don't have simple computational complexity. I'd learn more about someone from how they considered heuristic tradeoffs and assumptions that could produce a "good enough" solution to a tough problem than seeing if they could reproduce Dijkstra's algorithm from memory.

So you would probably be stuck carrying two phones around.

The main point is that if landlords want to go this route -- they must provide means of egress, without any additional costs imposed upon the tenant (unless agreed to otherwise in the lease).

This idea that they can just decide to require that you go out and buy smartphone (or to run their app on your phone) in order to gain entry to your apartment -- again, unless you've agreed to a lease that says otherwise -- is (despite what both the lawyer and the columnist in the original article) just nonsense, in any jurisdiction (such as NYC) with a reasonably healthy suite of tenant protect law on the books.

> automation enables founders to grow companies with fewer and fewer employees.

For sure, it's easier to launch a product with no employees. However, the challenge is to grow. That's when founders' run out of ability/patience to coax more out of automation tool. Edge cases appear more often; systems start breaking down; tools don't have meet their exact need anymore etc., That's when they start hiring these "tool experts". SAP consultants, AWS certified DevOps, Stripe Integration Engineers and so on. Also, at scale maintenance starts becoming a bigger challenge compared to new feature/product launch. So one needs to hire maintainers. As David Graeber astutely observed a glass cup needs to be produced just once but must be washed thousand times. Let's not forget one needs employees to maintain automation tools too.

I can cite plenty of real world examples but let's just look at Uber. For an outsider it seems like a tech company but internally it is run by a massive operations team. They are constantly in touch with drivers, address their problems, move drivers around to meet higher demand, map operations and so on.

What is happening however is these SAP consultants are paid significantly less compared to their Business Analyst (or equivalent domain expert) counterparts. So in some ways profit is being cornered.

All that said this is an extremely narrow view about IT sector. Look around; EV, solar energy, genetics, and so on. No automation happening there. If IT sector needs less employees, then it's only for good! Skilled labor is needed elsewhere too.
> So you are definitely not going to run that new shiny factory for only 3 days a week.

3/8 is a thing in factories, so you could have just hired more employees part/lower time. It’s a cultural artefact that we work 40 hours a week.
Tell your doctor about it and ask for a beta blocker like propranolol. They are seriously performance enhancing drugs and used by many performers, surgeons, etc...

I was originally prescribed propranolol for my fear of flying. You can Google for the biological mechanism, but it essentially removes the physical symptoms from anxiety (racing heart beat, adrenaline rush, etc...).

I had a more pills than flights, so I started using them whenever I had to teach courses in industry as a consultant as well as I also suffered from stage fright (as does everyone, really, it is extremely normal).

It is absolutely incredible how much our anxiety and fear is actually anticipation of the onset of physical symptoms. On the beta blocker, if I made a mistake speaking I literally wouldn't skip a beat - my heart rate would stay the exact same, and I would be able to cooly correctly myself and move on.

The best part? I'm no longer afraid of flying or public speaking and don't even need to take the drug anymore to do either. Exposure to both of these things with the help of the beta blocker helped me overcome my fears almost completely and these days I can fly or speak publicly with no issues!

edit: An additional tip... While preparing, record yourself giving your presentation. Watching your recording will be very illuminating, I promise. You will cringe a lot at first, and then later want to re-watch sections because of how articulate you were. This is one of the absolute best practices one of my professors in engineer school taught us (he would record us presenting to him and our classmates, then ask us to watch and critique our own talks) and this practice has served me very well my entire career.
Gotcha, I agree with both points but am just less optimistic regarding implementation, Hopefully you're right.
If they "seem" happy, then they are not "consistently mak[ing] it clear how terrible having kids is."
This assumes that there is no financial intent in the work. My favorite example of this is that many thousands of Google's engineers used an app (Homebrew I think), but Google wouldn't hire him, thus letting him share in wealth partially created by his life's work.
