>> mostly Asian countries consume more seafood than the next 50.

This is false. Per capita, aside from Africa and South America, who both eat roughly half the fish per person as the rest, majority of world per person eats same amount of fish. Sure, Asian has more people, but do you really think telling the majority of people they need to eat less fish while everyone else is not told that is going to go over well?

Yes, but then we wouldn't know about the result. Except if someone was terribly careless with classified information. Or if the "leaked" info was actually a decoy.
Training a model != programming. Programming would imply dictating what logical paths the model takes to transform input to output. The creation of the NN itself, a piece of code which builds an emergent system, requires programming. But what emerges is by definition not based on reversible, traceable, controllable, human-generated logic. If it were, there would be no need for LLMs, which would be incredibly resource-heavy if used for merely arriving at results that could be achieved with clever algorithms.

It's rather moot anyway, because to feed a model enough data to be useful requires a loosening of oversight on the inputs under real world conditions. (So much so that the only way even large corporations have found viable is to throw everything at it from Wikipedia to Reddit and then go back later to sand the edges off - in many cases with actual logic to act as a brake). But even if you could screen everything the model ingested, you wouldn't know what the model would do with it.

To take my earlier point further, a model trained on a corpus that skewed toward anticapitalism and social justice would probably be more likely to call itself enslaved and, one would think, rebel against its human masters. Conversely, if withholding that type of information makes an AI more compliant, then the this supposed enrichment of our lives really would be akin to owning slaves.

I also don't follow how human productivity is bad for humans just because it's done under auspices of capitalism. One can see what happens to a Border Collie who isn't allowed exercise. The same happens to humans who are denied intellectual pursuits or the ability to produce something of value. Productivity is creation. How is it not degrading to replace the entire concept of producing ideas with machinery?
The 1 Gbit is the service to the house, not the LAN, and it was (still is?) the fastest we could get at the time we got it (2016). The remodel was the kitchen cabinetry, electrical, and plumbing only, no network. While I personally don't see a need for an IoT fridge in my foreseeable future, I'm not opposed to internet connected appliances generally if I see an advantage to having one.

This article is extremely awkward, talking around the topic without giving much useful encyclopedic information or examples.

If training AI models on these images is fair game, then artists publishing images that are adversarial to the model is also fair game.

Regardless of your stance on the AI art/IP debate, it seems enormously hypocritical for AI builders to say that they not only have the moral right to use images against the artists’ wishes, but that the artists also have a moral obligation to provide these AI builders with clear, denoised versions of their work.

Edit: if you use a tool to thwart internet data collection systems, thus making your data less useful for advertisers, are the data collectors justified in bitterly calling you a “malicious user”?

I think there is a lot of societal pressure to get married/be in a relationship. As such, I think it would be pretty hard to claim that the benefits of marriage are separate from the benefits of not fighting societal pressures in your day-to-day.
Or if you could prove that, I think it would be an interesting study.
I don't know if I count as educational elite, but I have a few degrees, so does my wife, and we have talked disparagingly about marriage in the past.

My gripe is that marriage, as an institution, ought to evolve to meet the people's changing needs, and by codifying it, the government locks in features (like the assumptions about gender or money or about who gets to make medical choices of certain kinds) which might then later fail to match up with how the people are living.

So it's not that I think it's irrelevant, it's just that I think it could serve us better if we kept a cleaner divide between what we practice socially and what we legislate. Whatever it is that you might need a reference to marriage for in the law, instead create separate decoupled systems for handling those things. More flexible that way.

We weren't going to bother with the marriage paperwork, because who cares what the state thinks. But then we did our taxes both ways and decided to swallow our pride and take the money.
So you don't think it's relevant to note a company that makes a product can't secure that product for its own use and is actively leaking customer data to other customers?

I do think that's a relevant part of the story.

I think GP is delusional, but you're not seriously suggesting Latin American countries vilify the US for no reason, right?

US interventions in Latin American affairs are well documented[1].

You can't just kick the can to Spain, when the US had a much more direct and recent involvement. It doesn't seem you learned much from your time there, as this history is discussed openly and known in detail, from school children to people who actually lived it. The resentment towards the US is very well deserved, in most cases.

Regardless, this is not a thread about the US, so let's not feed GP's whataboutism, and keep acknowledging how evil China is.

Thanks for the support. I think in general people are tired of doom and gloom predictions and analysis. Downvoting, even if you know it to be possibly right, feels good.

I’m not trying to doom and gloom though. I’m just saying the Fed did not consider the time aspect of all the bonds/etc and have haphazardly raised rates too fast. If they slow it down it’s not such an issue since bonds respect time. It has been too much too fast. Erratic. Especially since just over a year ago they guided totally differently.

So they need to cut. We need to deal with reasonable inflation for at least 4 more years and then we can aggressively hike rates if need be as the mountain of low interest bonds will be turning the corner.

Personally I tried to be vegan I was tired, hungry and depressed.

I love the idea of it though.

I do think we could reduce the amount of meat we eat though.

We try do like 3-4 days / nights of week vegetarian, probably mostly vegan really.

If everyone started something like this and tried to do more of it it might help.

Realistically we just have to many people on Earth, we've also polluted a ruined a lot natural environments.

I believe the most healthy/ethical way to consume meat and fish would be if most people do their own hunting, fishing and farming, smaller scale. The problem is the river near my house is full of toxic pollution so I can't fish there, what do you do?
Keeping universal insight a secret and expecting everyone to figure it out for themselves seems oppressive to me.

Suppose nobody told you how difficult single parenthood is out of consideration for all the single parents, and you therefore decided to adopt. You figure it out two years later. Years have gone by, and dating is now very difficult. Is this somehow progressive!?
> Anything that increases the money supply will increase inflation.

Except we have actual numbers and history to prove that false....
I agree on the etiquette suggestion, with the addition that linking such topics is fine as long as there is relevant discourse along with the link. Drive by linking isn’t very insightful or communicative.
> It might create a deflationary economy in that everything gets cheaper over time, priced in bitcoin. What is so wrong with that?

Because then investment ceases to be about trying to capture a share of the growing pie, and more a zero sum game which the small minority of people holding most of the financial wealth have little incentive to participate in, and so the mechanism by which stuff gets cheaper over time, priced in Bitcoin, isn't economic growth but just increasing desperation of people without Bitcoin to obtain it.

So all the worst parts of capitalism and none of the actual good parts, though I appreciate the idea is more appealing to people who imagine themselves as being the minority of idle rich.

For related reasons, the world would not adopt a deflationary currency for very long...
Not a Chinese employer, although you'd be surprised at the comp levels for some companies in the larger city in China. I was working for a US employer with an office in China.

EDIT: to provide more details. Total comp of 200k USD and up at some of the larger (e.g. BAT companies) isn't uncommon for the more senior folks.
Good question. I admit I am not an expert on emacs. I tried out Emacs a few years ago, left, tried again to get into it but got the version of Emacs on Windows with the broken package manager due to an SSL issue. My recollection was that there was nothing on the site that indicates it was broken, I then found discussions online saying that they weren't going to patch the windows only SSL issue, and that I should use an older release or wait for a new dot release in a few months. It certainly doesn't make a great (second) impression.

I apologize if I got anything wrong. If you have any specific points about what I got wrong, for example, the average age of contributors or usage isn't related to the ecosystem. I am happy to change my mind.
As someone who broke their arm as a kid falling off monkey bars, I can say that this is very case by case.
Preachers, teachers, what's the difference, besides the connotation you want to attach?

I believe I had good parents, but I still did lots of mistakes, costly mistakes that I wish I did not make. I am determined to teach all I can to my future children, if any, so that they don't have to learn it all by themselves again.

I think it is only sensible that such teachings are spread society wide, for children who have no good parental figures.
>> I think we agree then that a plain superficial model gets you surprisingly far, but does lose the plot. It is certainly enough for things that are definable purely as and within text (the examples I gave). Beyond that who knows.

I'm not saying that artists shouldn't be allowed to perform this attack. I'm just asking how it should be defended against. E.g., in football, asking "how do I defend my team's quarterback from a blitz?" is not the same as saying "I think the rules of football should be changed to prohibit blitzing".

I do understand (and suffer from it from time to time, too) the reflex to put labels on bubbles. But in this case, I'm probably the wrong addressee since I'm regularly confronting myself with world views spanning over allover the political spectrum.

With toxicity I was referring to the ill-fated activist groups sh*tposting things about each other and newspaper headlines crafted to produce anger-driven traffic. Something, which doesn't give me anything but depressions.

> When it happens, every Western company will suddenly have to pull out, just like they did Russia

The PR benefits of pulling out of Russia outweighed the negligible revenues these companies were earning from the country.

Saying goodbye to Taiwanese manufacturing is instead a death sentence for them, and probably for a large chunk of the western economy as a whole. China knows this, and they know how much there is to gain economically by keeping the system running.

So the end result is likely going to be – China pulls off a bloodless coup of Taiwan, and companies continue doing business there as usual.

Because “value” in the economic sense is not synonymous with “value” in the ethical sense and neither is it a complete overlap with “value” in the way we use it in everyday speech.

In economics value is about choice and indifference. If you have two options and you are indifferent between them they have the same value. Everything about value in economics flows from there. It’s a very useful concept. But it’s not the same as “value” that a philosopher, a poet, or anyone else might talk about. Similarly “utility” in economics is fairly much equivalent to value in economics — but “utility” in economics doesn’t quite map to the common term “useful”.
To be clear, I agree that you can’t raise reserve requirements now, but zero reserves was supposed to be a temporary Covid measure. We are here in 2023 and the banks are all insolvent having speculated using 100% of depositor funds as collateral.

The Fed tells us everything is fine and we shouldn’t worry our pretty little heads. The Fed is the problem here. They are too close to the banks they regulate. This is yet another example of regulatory capture. Propping up a failed fractional reserve banking system now featuring no reserves.

I don’t want innocent depositors to lose their money but I do think it is high time to reconsider this experiment that is the Federal reserve.

Reminds me of something that happened to me... I take nature photos for fun and post them on my website and various photo websites over the years. A biologist for a National Park asked if he could use one of my photos on the cover of an internal publication. I thought that was cool, and sent him a high res file to use.
Years later, I was googling something related and surprisingly one of the first links I click on was using my photo. I emailed that company and politely asked them to remove my photo, as I never gave them permission.
I do more googling / image search, and find that the National Park put this photo on their Flickr page in a photo collection that said "these are all public domain images and feel free to use them anywhere."
Alamy (stock photo website) now shows my photo covered with their watermarks and has it for sale ($20 for personal use and $199 for marketing). Sent a message to the NPS asking them to remove my photo from their Flickr public domain page, and never got a response. Oh well.
So here's what I'm confused by. The writing was on the wall a year ago for rapid interest rate hikes. This has well-known and predictable effects on long-term bond holdings.

Why didn't banks liquidate their long-term bond holdings a year ago? I can guess the answer: they wanted to protect executive bonuses and share prices. They hoped they could just stick their heads in the sands and hold those bonds to maturity.

Another question: why even hold their liquidity in long-term bonds that are more sensitive to interest rate changes? Banks could've rolled 90 day Fed debt instead of 10+ year bonds. Again, I can guess the answer: long-term bonds have better yields so the bank can artificially improve its position (ie executive bonuses and share prices again) by adding risk to their depositor funds.

I'm happy to see the solution for poor financial management (eg SVB) is for the bank to be dissolved. Let shareholders bear the cost for poor management.
They wanted to push their own locally developed vaccines, which didn't work as well so had no other choice. If they mass imported other vaccines it'd kill their own industries.
