I'm very sceptical about this claim. Would like to see a source.

Sure, we may have enough "money" to redistribute it. But if 99% of the population stops working, who is going to make everything we use, produce food, run power stations, and transport everything to us. Automation is great, but it doesn't cover anywhere near 99% of necessary jobs yet.
The title is a quote from the person who responded to him rudely, not a statement of his own opinion, he spends the entire article arguing against that person.

My understanding of your point, and the industrialization that you spoke of, is that it would strip or muddy authorship, you can't take this blog as an example of that when it's original research that comes up prominently along with its author in the medium the author intended. The stripping of the authorship was done willfully (allegedly) by a human, not by some algorithm that'd prop-up derivative content with unclear chains of authorship over original research.

I’d prefer that companies keep developing and manufacturing vaccines. That would stop if they had to assume liability for vaccines, especially compulsory vaccines.

The government had to step in and create programs to assume liability for vaccine injuries because pharmaceutical companies were not going to make them any longer.

>Right now, I have [plots for] books two, three, four, five, six, and seven, and all of those murder mysteries were ChatGPT-generated, though I edited some of them. The impressive thing about it is that if I tell it that it’s a cozy mystery and I tell it that it needs to be humorous, it seems to understand what I’m asking for. The names that it gives me for the suspects are cutesy. The reasons behind it are never gory or serious.

>I didn’t do the whole cover on DALL-E, but on the seventh book that I had, I had sketched out a plot that involved a Lykoi cat. It’s a cat that is so ugly it’s cute. It’s apparently a fairly new breed that was like a crossbreed between a cat with hair and a hairless cat. And so it’s got hair in some places, and it looks like a werewolf.

So I would have had to find a photographer that could do a shoot, find a Lykoi cat, pay everybody to get the image and the cover that I needed. That’s expensive. So on a lark, I was like, Huh? I wonder...

And I went to open my account, jumped into DALL-E. Boom! For me, it saved so much time and money, and the cover looks great, but a photographer didn’t get paid, right? Somebody who wanted to pose their cat didn’t get paid.
This may be true, but this is not the majority of your life - unless you’re on some mission to repopulate the earth, you’ll have maybe 8-10 years when you have children who aren’t babies who want to play with you. Apparently people become magically wise during those years and then quickly forget these wisdom after. If that’s not true then you should be seeing a glut of extremely wise people who’ve been “corrected” by their child raising experience decades ago.

The reality is, kids trigger happiness centers in our lizard brains. Enjoy the short time with them, but let’s not fool ourselves that children fundamentally change your life view in any way. If anything the person you should be working to prioritize is your partner, who if you do it right will be with you fairly unchanged all your life. Given the divorce rates though, most people don’t seem to have gotten that memo however.
So, "privatize the profits, socialize the losses"?

Middlemarch started serial publication in 1871. So George Elliot gets to allude to telescopic philanthropy, confident that her audience will be familiar with "the wag's definition of a philanthropist" and get her dig.

I'd argue the inconsistency in design is not limited to old websites. If anything, it's far worse with modern websites, since they aggressively re-style interface elements and frequently invent their own paradigms. Scrolling may re-arrange the content of a document, sometimes a desktop website has mobile paradigms like hamburger button causing a laggy menu to appear, often with buttons with no label that are decorated with minimalist line-art icons that are about as easy to parse as Linear B. Links are replaced with buttons, which are never natively styled and rarely clear that they are buttons. You have to click and find out. Sometimes clicking in a blank area causes something unpredictable to happen. Scrolling up or moving the mouse cursor to the edge of the window may cause pop over-elements to cover the text. The design is constantly shifting and moving around as ads are loaded randomly within whatever you're reading. Resizing the window may cause UI elements to move around, or to appear, or be hidden. Clicking a link may cause the ephemeral state of the document to change. The back button doesn't work after this happens. Sometimes scrolling down breaks the back button as well.
As usual for ChatGPT this is full of mistakes and bad code. The buildPhase and installPhase it writes are completely unnecessary and worse than the default, the configurePhase might work in some cases but most likely won't, and it's unnecessary when instead autoreconfHook should be used, stdenv/autoconf should be taken as an argument for the function returning the derivation, autoconf should be a nativeBuildInput, make is already in stdenv, etc.

Yes, they might also use other techniques as well, for example, push a bad update if they have such privileged access. However, that’s relevant more in targeted attacks; you can’t really push a bad update to everyone before getting caught quickly.

I think the Leaf actively manages the temperature of the battery pack for peak efficiency. Does anybody else? Hyundai?

I’d like to see a world where there just are always plugs available. As ubiquitous as ICE gas stations or even in the strip malls/outside grocery stores. Even more, every parking spot in an apartment complex. Have them be “smart” so people can program in when they need to be ready to go and otherwise offer just a trickle to stave off the worst of freezing temps. Etc. Done well, this could mitigate most or all of the growing pains away from ICE vehicles and infrastructure. Maybe provide a back support for the jobs dependent upon that legacy infrastructure too.

98% of those predictions will fail. The remaining 2% will have a somewhat different scope than the author intended, including this one.
Not him, but from current predictions to 200k isnt that big of a jump. If i recall we are likely at over 100k dead servicemen (matching Russian losses) and something around 40k dead civilians.

Not so sure about such a drastic shift myself, but its a possibility if you think of it in terms of having overdone the whole propaganda aspect and inadvertently triggering a reaction. Especially as having observed it for the better part of the last year, i suspect Russia has been goating western media/commentators/politicians into especially brazen stuff. To give an example for especially brazen instances, there is the propaganda channel "Perun" on youtube who does a great job framing itself as open source intelligence. When it came to the Ukrainian Kherson offensive he however dropped the ball and transparently crossed the line from miss- to dissinformation when he

1) Congratulated the Ukrainian government on "preserving manpower" by banning military age males from leaving the country

2) Stating that the Ukrainian military was made up solely from "volunteers", thus the great fighting spirit

3) Congratulating the Ukrainian government on its willingness to take losses in Kherson with the strategic aim of worsening the Russian supply situation

Add to stuff like this the reports that got brazenly silenced like the Amnesty International report about Ukraine having soldiers positioned in schools and hospitals. The rational being that Russia knew about all prewar military positions in case you wondered.

Its the old problem of exploiting a bogey man too brazenly and overdoing propaganda. Once you overdo it, you might be in for a rude awakening about the extend of stuff that stops working.

edit: Minute 26:06 in the Video from 17th of September (Seven months from Kyiv to Kharkiv), Minute 27:30 and 41:40 of the Kherson video from 20th November. Binge watched them so not sure where he mentioned the volunteer part, but the preserving manpower with ban to leave the country should be mentioned in the Ukrainian mobilization video. But also referenced at around min 13 in the Kyiv to Kharkiv video.

Is anything about the ship hardened against EMPs?
We have a dual fuel heat pump / oil furnace set up. The heat pump is ok above freezing, but you can see the efficiency drop off starting at 40F.

Friday night, we had a several hour power outage as the temps dropped to 10F.

So, fired up the diesel generator (runs off the same fuel as the oil furnace) and had no problem heating the house. Our neighbors with their heat pumps spent a very chilly and uncomfortable night, which could have turned deadly had the power not been restored when it was.

Heat pumps require a considerably larger and more expensive generator, well outside of the reach of most people to buy and keep in good service.

Wood, gas, and oil are all much better than heat pumps in this regard, as even a solar battery can provide enough power so you can survive events like these.

Heat pump are good on average, but have really bad failure modes in this regard.

The whole point of a password manager is so you don't have to remember passwords. Why wouldn't you use unique random passwords? It even generates them for you.
> What do you think will happen with Crimea?

Crimea and the Sevastopol naval base are being used as a platform to launch missiles at Ukrainian cities. It's hard to imagine a successful peace-deal that leaves Sevastopol in Russian hands.

Crimea is maintained by (a) the Kerch Bridge and (b) the land-bridge through Mariopol. The Kerch Bridge is very vulnerable, and the land-bridge too. Northern Crimea looks hard to assault, and is very well fortified.

As far as I'm aware, Crimea is nowadays occupied mainly by retired Russian sailors and their families; there has been a great replacement. I think it would be possible for Ukraine to drive Russians out of Crimea, but hard. I think it would be difficult for Ukraine to govern Crimea, and I doubt the USA would back a Ukrainian counterattack in Crimea. I suspect Ukraine will come under increasing pressure to give up claims on Crimea, in exchange for a full Russian withdrawal from Donbas. I think it would be a mistake for Ukraine to yield; Russian sentiment still seems to be strongly pro-war and pro-Putin, and a peace deal isn't the same as a Ukraine victory. I don't think there will be peace until Ukraine is able to defeat that pro-war Russian sentiment.

FWIW, I think the reasonable deal would be for Russia to withdraw from Donbas, in exchange for Crimea. Such an agreement would be heavily dependent on Western guarantees and weapons; and probably troops.

Crimea is valuable to Russia as its principal Black Sea naval base. It's not so valuable to Ukraine. But it is a serious threat to Odessa, Ukraine's principal Black Sea naval base.

I think someone has to win this war; a peace with no victory will just result in a resumption of the conflict. Russia could win quickly, by invading Kiev and removing the government. Ukraine can only win slowly, by reversing Russian pro-war sentiment through attrition. I can imagine a retaliatory Ukrainian attack on power infrastructure in e.g. Muscovy, if Ukraine were given long-range accurate missiles; that might swing sentiment.

I think Ukraine has more urgent problems than recovering Crimea. But I think that fucking bridge will have to go, in any peace deal.
Reading this reminds me of the enormous chasm that exists between the vast majority of overwrought poorly written science fiction like this, and the absolute best of the genre.
Good point. I meant to say that this regards only the three years mentioned. Then 2022 is above average.

While un my opinion there is a downwards trend since a few years, I would agree that there were quite a few years better than 2022 if the timeframe of a few decades is looked at, so many that is makes it difficult for 2022 to be at or above average.

> subsidizing electric vehicles does not automatically involve self driving. those are completely independent technologies.

Are you sure you’re replying to the correct thread? I’m not sure who you are trying to correct because no one here even implied something counter to your statement.
Mine seem to come in waves. I haven't gotten any, or Google hasn't let any actually ring my phone, in a few days then there will be days with a half dozen.
I once made a website where you could enter two phone numbers on. It would call A with B’s caller ID and B with A’s caller ID. After the call it would send an sms/call from the service explaining what happened and they could consent to release the recording for the pranker to listen to.

It was funny to have Pizza Hutt and McDonald’s both think they’d called each other. Or two people standing right next to each other.

I nearly got in quite a bit of trouble when someone pranked two high level people in the military, and they decided to have a conversation they probably shouldn’t have had on personal cell phones.

It was fun while it lasted… but I wonder if something like this could work for spam calls. Basically instead of forwarding to voicemail, have it route to some pre recorded messages you make “yeah” “hello” “I didn’t hear that, can you say that again” and loud background noises playing. Then it can send you the recording as your “voicemail”. Could be fun.
I think we disagree on how to measure value. Is there no value to listening to a pianist play Moonlight Sonata live? I’d say it adds value to one life, just as watching sports does. The idea that “we already have enough art” seems folly and absurdly reductionist. I’m sure we can find people who conversely say we already have enough technology.
There’s little money in vaccines and it would not take much loss-from-use to make then a loss leader. Yeah, they’re used in bulk but nowhere as much as “proper” drugs. If the govt wants vaccines, particularly on very short notice, they have to bear the risk. Otherwise they’ll be developed on the multi year cycle of drugs and biologics. Assuming the need is large enough to bother.

Edit to following reply: Abbvie make billions and billions from Humera and it’s been successful in all sorts of applications. Took new technology and several years to get to market and takes far less manufacturing and distribution costs than a worldwide vaccine. One could argue that it’s more successful in what it does vs the covid vaccines, but RA wasn’t a pressing world problem.

Remember: good, fast, cheap. Pick two. Without the government payments and guarantees that cash to Pfizer would have come from something else. It’s what drug companies do. Maybe we’d have seen an mRNA based cancer treatment sooner or maybe something like diabetes.

On the whole, I’ll take the haste re vaccines in the current system when facing novel viruses of unknown pathology. YMMV
> The whole point of a password manager is that "access security" will fail at some point. That's the reason they are E2EE.

Maybe that's a better way of restating my point that access security is not identical to the security of the password store.

> With this in mind, LastPass and Bitwarden's solutions are very poor and can result in most customers vaults being breached, whereas 1Password's secret key model stays strong.

While believable that most peoples passwords are weak enough to be broken, I wonder how many people actually have bad enough passwords to be reasonably decrypted.

I have no doubt about the security of 1passwords secret-key model being stronger - and I haven't seen anyone claim any different. At most I have seen anyone claim it is cumbersome and will get people to use no password manager instead (resulting in weak, reused passwords).
It’s generated locally when you create your account and not shared with 1Password. Various keys are derived from your master password and secret key.

The secret key is never sent to 1Password and is only used locally.

This is why it’s so much more secure than LastPass, and Bitwarden, and any other cloud hosted solution. I know, I just pissed off all the Bitwarden fans, but it is true.

You must save your Secret Key, but it’s also saved in Apple’s Keychain so there’s a copy there as well.

Finally, if you do lose your secret key, your account can be recovered using the Account Recovery process as long as there is someone else on your account with the appropriate permissions. If you want to know how that works, ask, but it’s sort of lengthy so I’ll skip it for now.

I agree - this hate for the Boglehead philosophy is weird. Back in the 90s, I watched an interview with Jack Bogle. I then started regular automated index fund investing in addition to maxing out my 401k.

The power of compounding over a sufficiently long period of time is pretty amazing despite having been through several big crashes.

> The market for stock photography and grunt level copy writing collapses entirely.

You assume that with the new technology the total number of people needed in this sector will be reduced, but I think the industry will simply adjust, and the only visible result would be that more content will be produced by the same number of people. This is a competitive market (your success is determined by the amount of money you are willing to spend on producing content about your product), so the same people will just get their share for 1000x the work they have been doing in the past.
Let's play a game where you answer my question and after that I will answer the next from "you". Despite that "your" new question is irrelevant if you know how CICP and HRSA are financed. Would have expected more expertise from someone who rants about vaccines for years now. yikes.
