> it looks like the Japanese would rather die (slowly, and then perhaps very suddenly as the weight of their society can no longer be borne by the next generation) than change.

Countries that do have significant immigration rarely see an increase in the native fertility rate. So the Japanese will die regardless*, immigration just means someone else will also inhabit their country.

In other words, you're offering a solution for the Japanese landmass, not the Japanese people.

*Assuming current trends hold for centuries, which they surely won't.
You could provide a link to the public exchange, so we can see the bad experience you had and evaluate it ourselves.
Just had a tangentially related conversation about a similar-ish process that restaurant managers/chains use to figure out viability of new locations. They just blindly use software to tell them if the community size/traffic flow will generate revenue relative to costs.

Seeing this article, too, along with a dozen other personal anecdotes (and seeing the early stages of blind-trust in AI), I'm realizing we're moving toward a point where over-trust in "what the computer says" is going to have material effects on civilization.

Ironically, the "Terminator Scenario," won't be what destroys us. Instead, it will be people's brains turning to mush due to over-reliance on AI/algos/etc. We'll simply hit a point where few if any people exist who understand the analog side of what the software is automating.
The view of laying off in a bull market being bad PR implies those companies wanted to lay people off in the first place.

During the bull market they were fighting with each other to hire more, which is the opposite signal.

Sure the bear market allows them to layoff, but I don’t think they wanted to lay anyone off up until 6 months ago.
Here's hoping they undercut their employers by offering victims a reduced fee... or I guess if they were interested in ethics they could blow the whistle.

Ideally we would have a world where privacy is the default and everyone has it.

Because we don’t, and there is considerable friction required to have financial privacy, most people don’t bother unless they really need it or are unusually privacy conscious. Really needing it may often mean they are doing something nefarious.

That doesn’t mean the technology to enable privacy is “bad”, it means it’s too hard to use and that as a society we have done poorly at guaranteeing people’s right to privacy.

Not so long ago you might have ben able to say the same thing about people communicating with end-to-end encryption, but thanks to a concerted effort to improve the UX of this tech. and it’s adoption by some very widely used services, it’s now commonplace. End to end encryption could no longer be argued to be mostly used by criminals.

Hopefully we will get there with financial privacy too.

NB: in neither case am I suggesting that the government should be unable to require you to provide information in some situations (or face the consequences of withholding it against, say, a court order), only that dragnet surveillance of everyone by default is never acceptable.
I too would like an explanation.
It’s one thing if OP was talking up a lifestyle that was destructive to others or the environment but that doesn’t seem to be the angle. I don’t get the requirement for children.

Is it known which exact ARM processors Bitnami is using? A current project of mine targets the ARM TEE which is only available since ARMv9.
Lots of good examples already mostly geared around minimizing bits leaked for the sake of alpha, but there are also instances where it is desirable to be "locally clandestine" even if you're a full throated supporter of the powers that be on the whole. Persecution does not just come by way of financial penalties or the legal system, these tools are useful for avoiding social consequences as well. A hypothetical I'd expect to play well here: paying for an abortion in a large state where it is legal, but in a small town where the local church wields an immense amount of influence.
I have no admiration nor pity for a billionaire inheritor who's used their wealth to try to delay the mass psychosis that is a symptom of capitalism. She can eat my behind and call me mommy and I still would not care.

The day she starts a workers co-op, a Marxist book group or a coffee klatch for civil rights groups and union reps then I might be impressed or have some sense of respect. Until then this whole article reeks of repugnance.

This whole article is a neoliberal wet dream lacking any kind of self awareness. I thought this was a substack parody piece that was supposed to make you chuckle with it's serious tone about California hippie ideas about love and peace while still doing nothing to fix core problems.

She lives, we sleep, don't forget to wear your sunglasses.

I loved soda as a kid, and beer in my twenties. Now I quite dislike the taste of alcohol and sugar in the quantities one typically finds in beer and soda, but you're right, there are exceptions I have enjoyed. They've been rare. (I haven't kept track, and I haven't actively sought them out either.)
I think it originates from "frat bros" which has been a negative phrase since before the internet.
Capitalism has an answer for that: Getting people to put in the extra effort is a matter of incentives. It’s possible to get people to channel incredible efforts towards your goals, and it isn’t done by bitching how “nobody wants to work”. Name the right price and you’ll have no shortage of willing participants.

I haven’t read the book, so I assume this nugget of info is hidden somewhere in the least-read section, considering how little this seemingly obvious solution gets talked about.

I was under the impression that corn ethanol was effectively solar energy because corn turns sunlight and carbon into biomass then we burn the biomass back to atmospheric carbon. Isn't that the fundamentals? Is there a big, basic reason it doesn't work or is it lots of little side effects? Thanks for weighing in.
How much were you drinking? I have never heard anything like this.

If you brewed it at home, then you should know that yes, acetobacter the bacteria part of the SCOBY converts the alcohol that the yeast creates from the sugar into acetic acid. Vinegar is 5-8% acetic acid.

This isn't secret, sacred knowledge. Sounds like you over did it, no need to spread your FUD around.
We subsidize corn for the same reason we subsidize oil and are starting to subsidize the semiconductor industry.

If we didn't subsidize food, we'd be importing a lot of food. In the event of war, famine, plague, etc, we don't want to be without a supply of food, fuel and now electronics.

It could be argued that Discord and Spotify are both SaaS products and they have fantastic apps with world class UIs.
My cynical view is that those people were happier because they were in a privileged position while the rest of society still functioned regular hours.

Make 4dww universal then ask them again after every service they use start taking 20% longer, being 20% more expensive, their favourite restaurants closing down from the lack of staff, longer lines everywhere from the increased demand for leisure and reduced supply.

It could work but it's far from obvious to me.
pure ethanol according to wikipedia has an octane rating of 108 on the scale that's normally referred to. 100 is the octane of a particular isomer of the hydrocarbon C8H18 which is called... octane!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating#Examples

and for people not familiar with the subject, the purpose of an octane booster is to make your fuel less explosive (even though the point of your fuel is to be exploded to release it's energy) The problem with low octane fuels is not that they have lower energy, but that when you compress them they can explode prematurely (before you're ready to collect the energy) and compressing them is a way to get more energy out of an engine. Ethanol is less explodey, and so is tetraethyl lead.

Once additional supply is added, all the dynamics change though. The cartel can restrict their own supply at the price of profits, but cartel members will see that investors who are not part of the cartel enjoy the same high rents while having much higher utilization because they don't need to keep flats empty. The only way for the cartel to ensure that doesn't happen is to either make sure every (new) landlord becomes a member, or make sure there can be no new landlords.

So far, they've use the latter option, and that's most likely because the first one is hard: if the cartel controls the market and keeps the prices high, new investors have no incentive to join, they'll make more money if they don't.
Isn't this a kinda narrow view of what's valuable? Sure, it's valuable for your reputation or your academic career only if it becomes widespread.

But if something has predictive power, it's valuable no matter how many other people know it. In some cases, it's way more valuable when it is still unknown, because nobody has had the chance to capitalize on it yet.

> The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure required Google to suspend its auto-delete practices in mid-2019, when the company reasonably anticipated this litigation. Google did not. Instead, as described above, Google abdicated its burden to individual custodians to preserve potentially relevant chats. Few, if any, document custodians did so. That is, few custodians, if any, manually changed, on a chat-by-chat basis, the history default from off to on. This means that for nearly four years, Google systematically destroyed an entire category of written communications every 24 hours.

> All this time, Google falsely told the United States that Google had “put a legal hold in place” that “suspends auto-deletion.”

All the recent Node-related features are bound to alienate their core audience but I wonder to what extent.
Happened to me, too. Wife's car got rear-ended by a delivery truck at an intersection and the car was totaled. Mysteriously, our rate basically doubled the next cycle. I called them multiple times about why the price went up so much, especially since my wife wasn't at-fault. They just said that's the price and there was nothing I could do. Switched providers to Safeco and haven't had any issues with any claims or random price hikes since.
It seems like the ecosystem is still dominated by PyTorch, is Jax supposed to be a competitor? Any signs of Jax taking over PyTorch anytime soon? Is it perhaps too early for its time? Or is there a critical flaw in the underlying design?
I’d like to think that if it was from NK, it would likely be MAD of NK, but not all of Asia. If China was attacked for instance, they have the capabilities to ensure MAD of any other nation or all of them, via a network of nuclear armed submarines - from undetectable locations - even after the nuclear destruction of their mainland. This makes it pretty unlikely for another nation to fire nuclear weapons into China.
That's very nice, from the office curtain to the damaged poster board! :-)

Mostly, yes. I sympathize with the goals in theory since I grew up on 90s internet dreams too but as a practical matter if you run a large website you’ll see mostly attacks from Tor, it shows up a lot in news about crime, and it’s noticeably helping people in actual repressive regimes because it’s still too easy to identify the network traffic when the stakes are high.
Because this is popular model and many people use it, you will not experience the cold-start latency most likely. But in general it is <10s.

What is difficult about that? Every protocol works this way, nothing new.

The fact that the server may send you messages even they are not responses... of course, otherwise how do you think notifications can work? The only other options is the client to poll the server periodically (how it was done by older clients, and iPhone client...), that is inefficient, consumes resources and you don't get immediate notifications. With an open socket the software stays in the background and gets woken up by the OS when a byte arrives, how is it complex?

> The protocol has all of the tools to have the liveness of Google Docs but I'm not aware of any GUIs that use it right

Never had any problem with Thunderbird. If you have Thunderbird open in the background and the GMail web interface both open at the same time most of the time you see first the notification from Thunderbird than the email in the GMail web interface. It's really fast, to the point that if I send myself a mail from my phone it seems to arrive immediately, and it's quite impressive.

How much of the "ruling class" actually get most of their power from the land they control? I get that price of property affects a lot of people, but I also think the "landlords" are a fraction of the political and economic power.
All this 4 day workweek hullabaloo really cements the entitlement of modern capitalist grievance discourse. Of course this won't affect restaurant workers, nurses, retail employees, deliverypeople, sanitation workers, migrant farmers, or any blue collar work that can just shut off 3 days a week and not cause any issues. Before you decide whether you deserve a 4 day work week, think about whether the people who wait on you daily deserve a 6 day work week.
Nice. I'll have to watch the video later. I'm working on something similar, mainly for: USB switch, monitor input switch, yubikey, and standing desk.

In my worldview self-defense, including defending others, always uses the minimal amount of force to reduce further harm. And I would expect a police officer to have the skills and composure to do so in the general case. Bad things can happen and mistakes are human and all.

The trend you describe is disheartening. Not just for individual ethical concerns you mentioned, but also in the context of state violence. We give the police the right to use violence. It's a massive responsibility and when it's abused, it leads to spiraling effects.

It really does.

Given how smart, versatile and dextrous the octopus is, its impressive array of senses, and its highly creative use of tools, I can only conjecture that the ocean environment is not conducive to an accretion of technology.

I.e. the corrosive ocean water makes the possibility of complex technology difficult, so the octopus hasn't been able to evolve into a longer lived, more socially cooperative creature.

Fire, chemistry, long term construction ... impossible or difficult.

Because otherwise they seem to have everything. Even latent social ability, despite their typical loner existence.

Another impediment is that hiding (their unshelled tasty soft bodies) really well is one of the hallmarks of their intelligence. That would tend to preclude tight cooperative social groups.
You should file an arbitration claim against PayPal (I have done this successfully in the past). My former employer FairShake makes this easy and lends credibility to your claim, otherwise you can go through the process (mailing a demand letter to the dispute address in their terms & conditions).
> So, why are we blaming GPT for this incorrect information?

I didn't blame ChatGPT for anything. I just said that it's only function is to generate lies.

> Alternatively, would you say that humans posting information that is incorrect and falsely represents the capabilities of another company's product should be similarly covered in laws?

Machines shouldn't have the same rights to speech as humans. A single company controlling ChatGPT can flood society with billions of convincing lies per hour. There's no point in any automation if it's not more efficient than a human is, and ChatGPT is far more efficient than humans at putting this stuff out.

The same straw man is always used with ChatGPT: a human can lie, so why not let this machine lie?

You might as well say that a human can punch someone to death, so why should we outlaw people owning rocket launchers?

The scale and purpose matters.
Ah, yes, I found that $25k house in Baltimore...

I see some 'houses' in the area that you're looking at for $130k, built in WWII and likely have heating bills high enough to bankrupt the wealthy unless the place is ripped apart and modern insulation is put in.
In my case - $1250 would have been the contract/discounted price to the insurance company. List price was almost 2x that amount.
This faux-openminded acceptance of opinion diversity is so silly and useless as a lens for understanding anything at all. As if mere opinions about capital, labor, and power are what we're discussing. As if opinions on these things are just something someone has, completely divorced from their actual relationship to these concepts in the world.

These aren't sports teams, you don't just get together with your buds and see how it plays out over a couple drinks. "Aw dang I really thought we had it but you brought back child labor right at the buzzer there, rough one today."

No, wealthy people are for price collusion because it gives them more power, and they are against unions because they take away some of that power. Some things actually are that simple.
