> you can't take a signing bonus then not show up for work.

You can if your union goes on strike between you getting your signing bonus and your start date. Striking is not the same as quitting in the eyes of the law.
I gave a concrete example of a systematic decision that Tesla is making that has resulted in avoidable deaths. I showed how a comparable system was trivially capable of avoiding the same cause of death due to its manufacturer making a decision in the opposite direction of Tesla: Putting human life above the marketability of a piece of tech.

If you want to somehow "interpret" into saying no one has ever died driven distracted in a Lexus, you're free to, but that's a leap I won't bother engaging with.

There's always some room for (mis)interpretation, but I think you're taking a football field on this one.

If you are part of a strike, then yes, actually, you are legally protected against some forms of retaliation, including possibly this form. We'll see how it plays out in court, but it is by no means as simple as you're laying out. This is not "people decided to not show up for work," it's a collective bargaining action against a very clearly hostile employer.
Germany Is Losing the Electric Vehicle Transition
Tom Driberg, the MP mentioned in the article was a very very interesting character. And, was fond of a drop or two. So his objections were to the thing being faux mock-tudor (faux-mock because mock-tudor is a defined style, this was a fake of a fake) not that it existed at all, in my view.

He was a communist, a homosexual, he was a gossip columnist journalist, had reported in the spanish civil war and munich, Was accused by a right wing columnist as a soviet spy.. And still had time to complain about British Rail making a pub on wheels.

I sometimes wonder if the best solution to these sorts of issues is to do nothing.

If vehicles keep increasing in size to the point that they become less convenient then that provides a disincentive to purchase large vehicles.

Similarly, if a thoroughfare becomes less efficient because too many vehicles start using it then that provides an incentive for people to consider other means of getting around.

No street parking where you live? Fine, you can park some distance away, sell your vehicle, move somewhere that does have it, or provide your own off street parking.
Good luck to Temple operating without the grad student labor. They are the backbone of all major universities.
After twice clicking on Google Maps directions that were very subtly labeled "ad" in tiny font, and driving to the entirely strong stores, I signed up for FastMail. Am migrating off Google products entirely. This kind of "accidentally click here" is evil. Would love to speak to the devs that implemented it. It's wild that this is so common.
Weird. I saw him live once at a conference where he praised being a shareholder and the disruptive tech. I guess a lot can change in a few years.

If anything, the average has far more errors in it. It's a trope on Reddit that experts get downvoted while amateurs who reflect the consensus of other amateurs get upvoted and repeated. Amateurs tend to outnumber experts in real life anyways, having their opinions become more authoritative (because some "AI" repeats it) is probably not a great direction to head in.

Hm. Did you read the comment by the Microsoft dev in the linked thread? He gives the following reasons:

"We've long since gotten all the low-hanging fruit and are left with what is essentially "death by a thousand cuts," with no single component responsible for our (lack of) performance, but with lots of different things contributing"

* Linux has a top-level directory entry cache that means that certain queries (most notably stat calls) can be serviced without calling into the file system at all once an item is in the cache. Windows has no such cache, and leaves much more up to the file systems... [snip]

* Windows's IO stack is extensible, allowing filter drivers to attach to volumes and intercept IO requests before the file system sees them. ... [snip] .. Even a clean install of Windows will have a number of filters present, particularly on the system volume (so if you have a D: drive or partition, I recommend using that instead, since it likely has fewer filters attached). Filters are involved in many IO operations, most notably creating/opening files.

* The NT file system API is designed around handles, not paths. Almost any operation requires opening the file first, which can be expensive. ... [snip]

"Whether we like it or not (and we don't), file operations in Windows are more expensive than in Linux, even more so for those operations that only touch file metadata (such as stat)."

I can say my personal experience under Windows has been that compiling the same project was twice as fast in a linux virtualbox inside windows, than in the host. :)

But are now implying that you would be agree with my example if it were true. Thus demonstrating that your statement is wrong. You are willing to engage in cost benefit analysis for elder care. This case is simply easy and improbable to arise.

Striking is not the same as quitting. If negotiations were ratified next week, workers would return and could not face retaliation in benefits or pay for striking. The university could withhold pay for missed shifts during the strike and potentially clawback a prorated portion of the remission at best, but clawing back remissions in their entirety and charging late fees for not paying by a deadline is bad faith and won't be looked upon fondly by the NRLB. While the decision will likely end up being made by a court, to me this definitely seems like illegal retaliation and not a case of students biting off more than they could chew.
Those might be considerations for you. For many others, they'll love their car out earning revenue when they don't need it, and plenty of people who want door-to-door clean transportation without having to wait at a bus stop and without having to own a car.

A powerful spiritual practice like challenging your own limits and fears to the maximum, or meditation and fasting, or immersing yourself in a completely different environment from what you are familiar with until you know it truly. Or if these things sound too abstract, to take a strong dose of psychedelics alone or with others.

Religious texts are something that can be interesting after sensing some spirituality, but probably not before. I don't think anybody who is not spiritual can become so by reading religious texts.
Thank you for the Wiktionary here. We can see that the Kanji for baka (馬鹿) are horse and reindeer. Non-sequitur combinations in Japanese usually tend to hint at „ateji“, or a phonetic approximation using Kanji. Chinese has a word for the same Kanji as well, but it does not mean idiot as far as I can tell.

Boke can mean either 惚, which is often used to describe someone who has gone senile (ぼけている). Sometimes also for stupor-like situations such as a heavy jet lag. Or, as 暈け, describing something not-sharp and out of focus.

Funnily enough, in English we use sharpness for intellect as well, so ESL learners might think that natives think of their brains as swords? There are enough blade-like metaphors for our intellect, come to think of it.

In more common Japanese, when something has gone out of focus such as the TV, ぼやける is used. One could think that this is related to ぼけ? But one can never be so sure. Unique two-syllable combinations in Japanese are not so numerous and factoring in sound shifts over time, different potential etymologies, one really needs to investigate this for quite a while and maybe never get to the truth. This warrants more investigation!

I worked as a software engineer on the single engine "reboot" at Cessna in the mid '90s. At the time the company would pay for your private pilot's license, up to ATP cert IIRC. I knew a number of people who got their license that way. Cessna had a great ground school and a nice flying club with well-maintained planes. Ultimately, many of the people who got their license ended up not carrying on with flying. It is a very time consuming hobby and not really a practical mode of (even occasional) transportation. I now regret contributing to the single engine program (and the jets) due to the cost to the environment--I can't believe they still use leaded avgas. I read recently that private jets have at least an order of magnitude higher emissions per passenger mile than commercial.
Super cool. This could help make podcasts much more social. Do you generate the text or use provided transcripts? Are there any legal issues associated with that?

Language doesn’t come first for humans. Experiencing the world does. Languages then become symbols to communicate experiencing the world through our senses and emotional/mental states. I’m not sure why people get hung up on language models not being the same thing when they start and end with language.

> Although the driver’s seat was found vacant and the driver was found in the left rear seat, the available evidence suggests that the driver was seated in the driver’s seat at the time of the crash and moved into the rear seat postcrash. Specifically, residential security video showed both the driver and passenger getting into the front seats prior to driving away from the residence. In addition, the EDR data showed active accelerator pedal inputs consistent with driver activity in the 5 seconds prior to the impact with the tree, and that the driver’s seat belt was connected at the time of the crash. Finally, the steering wheel examination conducted by the NTSB Materials Laboratory indicated an impact to the upper left quadrant, consistent with the driver loading the steering wheel during a frontal crash.

If the driver was indeed wearing a seatbelt, how does that person end up in the left back seat in a frontal crash? Now I have questions about that seat belt.

Especially considering this comment in the report: In addition, the EDR
data showed active accelerator pedal inputs consistent with driver activity in the 5 seconds prior to the impact with the tree, and that the driver’s seat belt was connected at the time of the crash.

So there was a driver pushing the accelerator, wearing a seatbelt (assumption) and ending up in the rear seat behind the drivers' seat? Did the driver simply plug in the seatbelt without putting it on? Or did the driver survive the crash, get into the rear seat, and was unable to get out in time?

> Free or reduced tuition provided by eligible educational institutions to its employees may be excludable from gross income as a qualified tuition reduction. Whether a tuition reduction is a “qualified” tuition reduction and excludable from income depends on whether it is for education below or at the graduate level and whether the tuition reduction represents payment for services.

>They must have miscalculated if they think the students will cave to this pressure.

Have they miscalculated?

Not a comment on the right or wrong of this action but the article says this 80% of similar grad students have not gone on strike. Would be good to know how distributed across academic fields this strike is. If it is a few from each, then it seems Temple can just wait them out. If it is focused on just one area maybe not. This article is very light on detail.
> my question is if you, the human, can learn to understand what it is to perceive magnetic fields? I think obviously the answer is yes.

I certainly don't see that as obvious, and I would guess that while you can learn _about_ their perceptual mode, you can't learn what it is like to perceive magnetic fields just through talking about it. I would consider the Mary's Room thought experiment, and the What Is It Like To Be a Bat paper from Nagel.

I think there's a relationship to the Chinese Room, but I want to be clear. In the original formulation, the person in the room follows a book of pre-provided instructions to produce a response. The LLM and person in the Thai text completion scenario must learn an equivalent set of instructions themselves, and for this I would claim that they are comparable to the human + book combination in the original Chinese Room. The person who learns to complete Thai text doesn't know what they're talking about, but they know more than the person following instructions in the Chinese Room. But clearly they still don't know what a Thai speaker knows.

> I guess it just feels like this general argument, that merely seeing things and making predictions that turn out to be right isn't enough to understand it will never go away. We could have a full fledged robot walking around having conversations and I could dispute its ability to really understand.

No, perhaps the end of my original statement didn't make this clear, but I think AI systems _can_ know things, and knowing is not a binary but part of a range. StabilityAI / DALL-e know quite a bit about the relationship between texts and images, and the structure within images -- but they _don't_ know about bodies, physical reality, etc etc. A system that has multiple modalities of perception, learns to physically navigate the world, interact with objects, make and execute plans by understanding the likely effects of actions, etc -- knows and understands a lot. I'm not arguing about a hard limitation of AI; I'm arguing about a limitation of the way our current AIs are built and trained.

We do hear about parents kicking out their kids when they are 18. I use to think it's true, then later realized that no parent would do that and that's a misconception. They are raised with the idea that when they are adult, they should move out and live own their own. They don't really have to, but that's the culture part. If they don't, it will be something to be ashamed of I guess.

But what you are saying here is that kicking out actually happens. If kids don't move out, the parents will force them to. Are kids raised as a fixed 18 year job? That's weird if true.

Yes there is (VLANs) and that's why they've been a thing for quite a while. Securing stuff might mean things like firewalls. When you are defining firewall rules you need to define where FROM where TO and WHAT and ACTION. This is what out of the box TCP/IP gives us. It can be rather more complicated but we are discussing VLANs.

You might have PCs, servers, TVs, printers, cameras and more on your network. You might want some of thos to access the internet and some not. Some from the internet and some not. Anyway - policy - what should be able to get from A -> B.

VLANs allow you more flexibility. You can now have lots of different TOs and FROMs. So you can put your security cameras on a VLAN with no access to the internet. You can still access them but they cannot splurge to the wider world.

Three RPis? Perhaps. Depends on the job. I'd probably throw another VM on the fire.
