This did end up happening though (although not so much due to Java as to JavaScript etc.).

It was important for Microsoft to anticipate this and pivot from relying too much on Windows on the desktop. And they tried pivoting left and right with the Xbox, Azure, .NET, their early tablets (which Steve Jobs famously discounted because they needed a stylus) and so on.
Patents have become effectively unenforceable in many domains. The retreat to trade secrets is a reaction to this. Eschewing patents in favor of trade secrets is a common strategy these days. Ironically, this was the situation patents were intended to prevent, were they enforceable.

Refusing to acknowledge your attempt to force the conversation into a very narrow framing where the true source of risk and harm is ignored isn't deflecting. And your last point is incredibly disingenuous. Having a nuclear reactor isn't an end, having energy is. Refusing to acknowledge the existence of alternatives and that they beat your proposal on its supposed merits is the inabity to have a discussion.

This is an incredibly transparent attempt to frame a conversation in such a way that the only possible avenue of discussion is how long we have to sit on our thumbs and wait for a gen IV nuclear reactor to materialise whilst ignoring the absolute failure of any previous designs to deliver on their promise of cheap, clean, abundant, or safe power.

Your gaslighting is not as subtle as you think it is. Refusing to believe nuclear advocates isn't 'panic' or irrational when the lies have been so consistent for wellover three generations that assuming the opposite of what you say is a much better strategy for coming to correct conclusions than believing you.

In October, after mentioning to the neighbor plumber friend that massive tech layoffs would be arriving just in time for Christmas, he told me that he did not really care what happens to tech workers because "people will always need a good plumber."

Tonight, same plumber friend told me that his company's workflow has gone from ~50 hrs/wk to 30hrs/wk — and that includes "organizing the company truck." He now understands why everybody should care about (even unrelated-) industry-wide layoffs.
You can not just ignore their claims unless you have an alternative answer to why (or how) does the universe exist.

Science does not contain tools to refute or confirm any answer to that question.

So it's less "fantastical claim", and more a topic that you do not have any tools to approach.

In online discussions many people do not really make arguments from knowledge. People will arbitrarily choose a "side" on some topic, and then formulate arguments by searching for "proof for why my random opinion is totally right" or "proof for what this guy is saying is totally wrong."

There's no exchange of ideas or views, the entire point of discussion, because the person you're discussing the issue with doesn't know what they're talking about. So it's a complete waste of time. Yet this can be hard to see at first because, thanks to the internet, even a blind man could describe the art of the Sistine Chapel with absolute clarity.

ChatGPT will make this orders of magnitude worse. Because now that "proof my biases are right" will become more eloquent and more dynamic. And the lack of knowledge even more extreme, because now you need not even be able to paraphrase what you're reading. Just dump it straight from the bot.

And then there will be active abuse. Now spammers and governments alike can have a million bots spamming either for viagra or war. And it will be done using dynamically generated text that can be tied into any arbitrary topic. And populating those bots with "real" histories will be trivial by having them formulate random, but relevant, comments in topics outside their "real" purpose.

It feels hyperbolic, yet it seems very possible that text-generation software may kill off meaningful discourse on the internet, at least outside of small vetted communities. And while internet dialogue has always been a bit of a bubble, the inevitable "dynamic propaganda" now means you'll never be able to even get a remote sense of the views of the public at large.

> Anyone will lose significant weight on a strict enough diet. Unfortunately, severe calorie restriction does things to your metabolism

Who said anything about "strict" or "severe calorie restriction" ?

To loose weight a person need only regularly eat 100 or 200 calories less than their daily requirement. For many who are obese, we're talking about having one less can of coke per day, or one less slice of a whole pizza or less ice cream every day.

A severely obese person can perfectly well eat McDonald's every single day, and eat more calories than a regular gym junkie and STILL lose weight!

I just found this[1] which mentions rubber vs. foam surrounds (suspensions), and butyl rubber with apparent good life. (That might have been the simple difference; the normal-looking speaker was already sourced; I came in to do embedded/DSP.) At kilowatt/constant power levels I'd imagine going as far as oil/magnetic suspension for high life; even o-rings under high cycles can fall apart.

I'm pondering how one would do accelerated reliability/life testing for the acoustic heat pump application. Maybe they have good-enough FEA/multiphysics on a suspension and cone, and strain/life curves they are prepared to trust. With a slope on log-log strain vs life they might project how much to overpower/overstrain for an e.g. 1000hr accelerated test.

Most "skinny" drug users are on drugs that have side effects including weight loss.

What's insulting is to take away the accomplishment of the fat folks who got healthy by claiming it was just their genetics that let them stop being fat, but also somehow their genetics that caused them to get fat in the first place?
Well it’s worth noting that you can achieve this very easily by just pinning apps to the taskbar : Win+1 will toggle the first one, Win+2 the second one and so on up to 9.
You pay an artist to make decisions for you that you have no expertise to make yourself. Stable Diffusion and similar things don't help with that because ultimately what it requires is taste.

Fair enough, if I understand your position on (b) and (c) correctly it is that while there may not be much carrot in evidence, there remains plenty of stick?

Just a note as to (a): my understanding is that had Germany avoided 1914 and its sequelae, it would've (purely by extrapolation of existing growth curves and ignoring the chances that the UK would've turned from benign opposition ["Made In Britain"] to malicious [the Royal Navy having been, pre-Suez, what the USN is now]) peacefully passed the Empire in manufacturing over the course of the XX. My parenthetical reservations apart, historians' consensus take on the why of 1914 boils down to "people are stupid".

[Edit: my memory tells me that the US accounted for ~50% of global manufacturing in 1960 (down from some huge percentage in 1948!). This number is amazingly difficult to confirm (the unpaywalled net being very biased towards recent time series), but if one compares to the 2015 figures of Table 1 in https://www.brookings.edu/research/global-manufacturing-scor... , if the US wished to return to its golden age, it would have to somehow replace not only China (20%) but also all of either Japan (10%) or Germany+France (7+3%). Assuming the Chinese are unlikely to follow voluntarily in such a scenario, it would take total replacement of Japan+Germany+South Korea+India+France+Italy+UK for the US to, from its current 18%, hit 50%]

Edit2: the previous Edit pretty much just recapitulates https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34254640
Wait until you see what Apple has been at for the last 15 years.
But you already speculated by claiming it's not 100%. So either you have another number in mind or are just being contrarian...

Further, your experimentation has a flaw; no two things carry identical risk factors and "willpower" factors. Food, as anything, is unique, so the idea of comparing it to other willpower exertions isn't relevant.

Just a warning about contingency-based lawyers. First, read and re-read any agreements they send and know what you're getting yourself into. Hiring a contingency attorney may seem great cause it is easy, but if they are doing a terrible job and you want to fire them then be prepared for them to say they are still entitled to whatever percentage you agreed to with them no longer doing anything. A 30k settlement may seem great to a contingency attorney because they may get 10k for essentially sending a few letters that you could have sent yourself. They also may already have pre-arranged agreements and relationships with the big companies that represent the company you are suing to essentially pay you as little as possible. Don't settle for less than you deserve and definitely don't rely on a contingency attorney to tell you how much you should settle for. Make them work for you and not the other way around.
I would love to know how any of this would enable or disable a person whose mouth was sewn shut to continue to gain weight, because it was my understanding that in the vast majority of cases, someone must make a willful decision to lift their hand, pick up food, and insert it into their mouth in order to obtain any nutrition at all.

I was expecting more people on hacker news to know about the existence of how eating works. The mouth was discovered... well, millions of years ago.

>Also, Amazon has ~$69B in long term lease liabilities. That’s about ~3x the combined long term lease liabilities of Walmart and Costco (~$20B combined). Walmart and Costco are the world’s #1 and #3 retailer, Amazon being #2.

Long term lease liabilities are next to meaningless for any kind of analysis because it's the sum of rent due at any point after the next 12 months. Could be at the 13th month. Could be at the 13th year. I am not an accountant but I believe you could sign a 50 year lease at $1m/year, that can be terminated at any time by paying a $1m penalty, and it would still show up as a $49m long term "liability".

> Stable Diffusion isn't going to destroy art since art is fundamentally a human endeavor. But many of the creative professions commonly called "[something] artist", whose day-to-day work consists of drawing pictures to illustrate a point, making things "look good" etc. are absolutely going to be wiped out. Logo designs, cover illustrations for books and music albums, pictures for marketing releases and so on.

Logo designs are absolutely critical for companies that want a consistent marketing, advertising and branding (so, like, all of them). AI is also notoriously bad at making legible text. Saying Stable Diffusion can design company logos is the marketing equivalent of saying you can use ChatGPT to design your company's backend database schema; only true in the most reductive and simple of cases.

I would look into the current process for cover designs for books and albums. Either the commissioner is requesting a drawn illustration in the artists' style specifically, in which case AI doesn't help; or, if they're requesting generic cover art, the process is already very optimized. Illustrators heavily use stock images, do postprocessing in Photoshop, put text on as appropriate, and call it a day. These illustrators will start using SD as part of their workflow; if anyone is a potential casualty of SD, it's going to be Gettyimages and their ilk.

Again, this is buying way too much into the hype, and is a typical perspective of someone with little direct experience in paid artwork. The comparison to blockchain is apt; many people were talking about how blockchain would solve problems with "supply chain", "voter fraud", etc because they thought about the problem for 10 minutes and it seemed good. Of course, none of those people had ever worked in those areas, but it didn't stop them from talking about how disruptive blockchain would be!

edit: To put it in perspective, Tropicana's infamous rebrand cost them $55 million[0]. That's how much of an investment companies put into branding exercises. You really think they're going to be satisfied with a "good enough" AI logo at that scale?

SWE wages are lower than the US, yes, but not Europe in my experience. Japanese fluency is not needed for PR or even citizenship (you do need a little ability for naturalization). You don't need to be fluent to live in Japan; most of the expats I know are not fluent at all.

German is also a very difficult language to learn, and you won't go far in Germany without it. It's much easier to be English-only in Japan than in Germany, in my experience.
