Are you a lawyer? Asking in good faith, because if you are then this is the first qualified opinion I’ve seen on the matter.

Everything else has been people claiming to have received legal opinions, see for example the email from Linus in my sibling comment.
The waitstaff is free to quit. Management is free to raise their wages. I'm free not to tip. No one is being punished. I'm not going to be guilted into paying more because mgmt has decided to underpay their staff.

Or social media/advertising engagement algorithms doing their work. After all, you get more engagement with negative emotions than positive ones.

It seems plausible that you and the OP are at least slightly on different sides of the LLM issue, and so you and the OP could literally be seeing two different realities crafted by engagement algorithms, because it detects that each of you pay more attention to the other side that you disagree with, and that snowballs into seeing only the other side and thinking you're taking crazy pills.
These sorts of events are why I know quite a number of people who do ZFS-for-everything on their FreeBSD systems but ZFS-for-everything-except-root on their Linux boxen.

Seems like in a lot of cases having all of your data on ZFS gets you almost all of the awesomeness of having ZFS around with fairly minimal downsides.

Testing swords for the King's coronation with the 'Godfather of Sword'
The R&D investments mean that:

- the type of vehicle available to most of the population will be inferior compared to a universe without this investment

- companies have reasons to also use their fossil fuel investments longer

- companies have more reasons to lobby for weakening the requirements for E-fuels

It's not like this is happening in a vacuum - laws and investments have a big influence on which direction we go in. So far the capital class has managed to skirt many regulations regarding emissions (e.g. by "offsetting" emissions, or by lying about them). A lot of real harm has already been done, and this is an avenue that will inevitably continue this.
Many components of computation started as premium offerings and are now free or virtually free. Why would this be different?
"I think they're mostly average people"

that's an easily-testable hypothesis. I dispute it.

As for "Wealthy people are too rare to matter" do a search on the percentage of income taxes paid by the wealthy.
2035 is way too close to be practical. Electrical infrastructure, charging stations, public transport and rail all need to be beefed up to make a full EV transition realistic. The increased expense and shorter lifetime of EVs is bad enough (but could plausibly be improved to near parity in a decade), making it near impossible to own a car without living in a house is another thing altogether.
Since I was a kid, my biggest complain with generic comic book villains was always that "some dude out to destroy the world" is just too unrealistic.

Now as adult, I see that no, there are literally people who are trying to end humanity and destroy the world - not mad scientists or purple wizards from outer space, but climate deniers and pro-fossil fuel people.

Well then presumably you never tip, anywhere. Which is certainly your right, but breaks social mores.

Tipping is a terrible system, but it's the system we have. Individuals choosing not to tip is highly unlikely to result in systemic change.
I applaud the law. I personally have children and want my children to be able to manoeuvre through adolescence, development, and puberty without the barrage of garbage the world throws at them.

The law allows parents to open up everything and give full access if that’s what they decide is best for their children. No freedoms are removed.

The world existed before the internet. Let kids be kids. I personally would rather have my children playing outside, running through creeks barefoot, learning to interact with people face to face than have them develop so many of the destructive behaviours that can develop through un monitored internet access. Many here are assuming it’s an all or nothing approach to internet usage which really isn’t the case. The spirit of the law is to limit the facebooks and the TikTok’s that have been shown to be one of the influences on increased suicide rates among youth.
You’re right it is worse. It looks like they assumed college-going students would approximate the standard distribution of scores for the population as a whole, which… no. An awful assumption for an activity where academic ability is a primary gatekeeper at the same time that they’re attempting to apply a metric of IQ essentially as a proxy for academic ability/knowledge/whatever. (“Whatever” because the entire concept of intelligence is filled with varying definitions)
The '030 was also used in the Amiga 2500/30 and Amiga 3000 (my favorite system from the 90's.)
Social media is not the same as it was 10 years ago.

The level of which kids compare themselves to other kids took an exponential leap to a near hive mind level.
Constantly comparing themselves to the instagram people with fake lives, rich kids, or extremely beautiful people is mentally damaging them.

My daughter asked me for plastic surgery, and I was dumbfounded.
So I went check her internet logs, and she's been watching rich kids of instagram/tiktok/etc. So now I'm trying to figure out how to talk with her about this.

There is balance, but as her mother I don't think I'll be letting her have internet privacy until she's grown up and moved out.
And tipping enables it
The EU banned incandescent bulbs.

An example of an exception to your last point is eggs. In the US* the eggs could have been in a refrigerator for a week or up to a year before being sent to the supermarket.

* I don’t know if this is still the case with the current 2023 high price of eggs. There has been a lot of monopoly/consolidation in eggs and it’s unclear what’s really going on.
After having the Steamdeck, I switched to OpenSUSE tumbleweed with KDE along with my brother at the start of February. We are both moved our gaming machines over from Windows and it has been a great experience, even running the latest triple A titles.

Yast gives a very nice GUI approach to a lot of configuration OpenSUSE. It really feels like the missing Windows Control Panel of Linux.

He is running Intel/Nvidia the only issue we had was some kind of missing grub command when attempting to boot the liveusb. Nvidia even offers opensuse an official repo for their proprietary drivers!

I am running AMD/AMD and the experience was pretty plug and play. The only issue I have is an odd one, my 7900xt randomly gets its memory clock stuck at the lowest power mode. This puts its memory clocks around 200mhz after a period of idling, which makes the system feel unusable. Even launching a game doesn’t switch it out of this power state so they either crash or run at very low frame rates. Changing the refresh rate of my display to any value appears to fix it so I just cycle between options. I’m sure there is some kind of config option I’m missing somewhere. Other than that slight nuisance I can pretty much play anything thanks to Valve and Proton.

The new Big picture mode is also incredible and I find myself moving my desktop over to the TV more and more.
Apple watch has its use as... a watch, fitness bracelet, health monitor, etc. Lots of people wear one for the many features it provides. A VR headset is quite more challenging, especially because we all know Apple is not a big reference in gaming...

It’s about systems thinking and pushing in the direction for desired outcomes. There will always be leaks or drag, but usually in de minimis amounts. Banning ICE in 2035 forces supply chain reconfiguration today, hopefully done in a way that locks in the changes (similar to turning down coal plants and demolishing them).
This is one of the reasons I will switch from Ubuntu back to Debian. Any Ubuntu tutorial will work for Debian. The laptop I am on today will be my last Ubuntu install.
In "all mental work" do you include the work of designing robots?

But anyway, "and the society would be less equal" is really unwarranted. That's exactly the article's point. Wealth distribution doesn't need to be related to the labor demand, it is only this way today because of politicy decisions.
The USA is a mixed economy, like most advanced economies. That means it uses both communist and capitalist ownerships of production in different situations. Health care is an interesting failure case, where the specific mix of private and public ownership has failed in some ways (note that concierge services in the USA are not available in all countries, and there are many treatments that are only available in the USA and cannot be easily accessed elsewhere so there are some advantages).

Communism must utilize some sort of bureaucratic system as otherwise technocapital feedback loops will re-emerge. So there has to be a human control system in place to monitor and squash these sprouts of cancerous growth.

A worker owned cooperative would not be a communist system, since the means of production are held by a private collective and not by the public society. It’s no different than a private family owning capital, albeit less incestuous.
Very few Russian soldiers will intentionally kill innocent people.

If it follows the Apple Watch, then it will be the undisputed market leader in the product segment, which honestly I think it will. The competition is very weak. Meta's efforts have largely failed with the MetaVerse and their whole ecosystem seams very stagnant. Valve and HTC aren't doing much in this space. Sony's PSVR is promising, but it is completely locked into the PlayStation ecosystem, so I see it being limited just to first person games for the most part. Microsoft has completely abandoned the consumer market with HoloLens and prefer to sell very expensive headsets to industry and the military instead.

This is a very ripe market for Apple to disrupt if they can execute well. Very reminiscent of the smart watch market before the Apple Watch.

Regulation has done wonders in many cases where the market just can't adjust for externalized costs and dangers well enough.

For example, should DDT have not been banned but eliminated through a "bottom up" process?
>The ecological crisis of our age is global warming. Clean mining is important, but it should not be the overriding factor.

As a Danish I was surprised to see so many adult Americans and Germans blame climate change on dirty streets and rivers in India and not the GHG emissions from developed countries (and our Chinese factories).

Or maybe it's willful ignorance to protect important GHG emission intensive industries in the US and Germany.
> we deal with it

No - we also don't. It depends on the context, and it depends on the stakes. Some contexts are more "bullshit" tolerant, others are critical.

Conversely to your statement, " """we""" do not condone the error of the politician, of the manager, of the doctor, of the lawyer, of the worker - and we want good warranties for any entity responsible - repeat, responsible".

“Natural” immunity would have to be much much better than vaccine immunity to outweigh all the first cases prevented by the vaccine in terms of total amount of virus shed into the world. When studies find a difference between”natural” and vaccine immunity (if they find a difference) it’s very small - so i don’t think this idea holds up.
We should also ban ICEs.
The issue I'm pointing to here doesn't have anything to do with deep understanding of primes built over years of education etc etc. All I'm saying is that ChatGPT doesn't know that 2^2 = 4 means 2^2 * a = 4 * a for any a.

ChatGPT is often good at understanding patterns involving the substitution of one string for another. So you might hope that it could do well in a case like this. But it doesn't really. It is aware of the laws of arithmetic and can explain them in the abstract but it can't apply them consistently in the real world.

I look forward to seeing how GPT-4 does as well. I don't have ready access to it. Looks like I would have to pay to get ChatGPT 4. But I will go out on a limb and predict that it won't be hard to generate this kind of issue with the new version.

> Also, it's just a matter of empathy.

Empathy is being weaponized in order to shift the responsibility of wages from the employer to the consumer. In the article, customers are feeling pressured and guilty and are even walking away from the tipping screen.

Part of the solution is to first realize what is going on and not feel guilty about that.
This was the framing of the iphone as well: “We hope to eventually reach 1% of the market”.
As long as you inform the staff of this up front I think that's fine.

Leaning on the pretense that you aren't also engaged in a transaction with the staff (when it is the common practice) just makes you a shitheel.
Nuance. The developed world is rapidly transitioning to clean energy and mobility while India and China are building GW of coal fired generation (but also deploying renewables at a quick pace). Everyone needs to move in the right direction, and all tools should be on the table to disincentivize carbon emissions (subsidies, tariffs, etc). I would like robust waste disposal systems adopted in the developing world so we stop filling the ocean with plastic (10 rivers in the world are responsible for the majority of ocean plastics), but I also understand that is not driving GHG emissions (which is the most pressing existential crisis for humanity imho).

It isn’t sentient because it stops when there is no input. If OpenAI were implementing a continuous feedback loop of not just textual info, but one that can sense the world like we do(visual, spatial, audio, tactile) and it keeps improves as it interacts with other people and world. It gets closer.
Normally I'd agree but in this case the OP seems to have been talking about the default choices going upwards of 20%. I can't imagine at most places waitstaff getting to program the payment terminal's default choices.

It's the owner who made that decision and they are ultimately responsible for how they encourage/discourage tipping and compensate their staff. 30% suggested tip might seem nice initially but it might also drive away customers in the longer run. And those customers will never protest much, they'll just leave and not come back.

It also signals that "look, we are going above and beyond with our service, we deserve a 30% add-on", but when in reality their service is most basic, or even worse than before, there is a disconnect that people notice.
Mixed reality headset, not virtual reality headset.
-- edit, parent post has been edited to be less confrontational making my post somewhat redundant.
I remember the first time I saw tipping on a tablet at a counter service place. I did tip because I was too surprised to think about it. But afterwards I had time to think about it and I’ve never tipped in that manner since. However, it did put a bad taste in my mouth about tipping. I used to tip 18-20%, but I now refuse to go above 15% and have even stopped tipping for some situations I used to tip. In my opinion, this was a big misstep by the business community.
I disagree with him. I've spent several years answering people's random questions (librarian) in multiple settings and my first W2 job back in 2004 was technological education. I also have a Linguistics degree and can program so I understand what LLMs can and can't do fairly well even if I'm nowhere near an expert. He's vastly underestimating the average person's awareness of their own thought process or even ability to accurately answer iterative questions in order to sort things out interactively. The weakness with such a claim isn't the AI, it's the humans' ability to provide the AI with accurate and useful information.

Not to mention that there's still a large portion of the general public that just freezes up when it comes to anything technological. I've provided support to a number of different communities and even educated people can't do this type of thinking easily.

It's possible that we could eventually get to that point, but it would require some massive educational efforts and a culture shift, which would also require substantial investment without a clear road to profit, and I believe America lacks the political will or even ability to implement anything like this. Since we can't act in unison, it will be down to companies, and for them it makes more sense to solve the problem by hiring prompt engineers with the savings they get from cutting elsewhere instead of training all their existing teams on how to learn new ways of thinking.

tl;dr: Technologically he's probably right, but he's massively overestimating the public's ability to use interactive tools to get information.

> obvious thing that we would expect

Any time you rely on something being 'obvious', the public is going to somehow fuck it up.
Oh, I didn't know this. Thanks.
This will come a surprise to many but we’re a lot closer to peak oil than most people believe. Some of the latest research from scientists like Nate havens shows it’s happening within the next few years. Even she’ll has said their production peaked and will decrease 1 to 2 % per year
Yup

What people need to recognize is that this is yet another corporate tactic to distract from their abusive practices.

Just like recycling plastics; instead of designing actually recyclable or biodegradeable products and actually implementing recycling, they sell unrecyclable crap, ship the waste off to China (until they refuse it), and try to make everyone feel personally guilty for their insufficient personal recycling practices.

With tips, they make a business model of paying they people poorly, extracting maximum profits, and holding prices just low enough for you to buy, they laying a guilt-trip on all the customers to help their poor workers. Similarly, WalMart runs seminars for their workers on how to get more government poverty benefits, so that the taxpayer subsidizes their business.

At first, I was for tipping, as I've always been a solid tipper and of course I want to help the worker. But now, they are just obviously pushing the limit to see how far they can push our collective guilt. Plus, we have zero idea of how, or even if, these "tips" actually get to the workers. I'm starting to think that the only solution is for the society to reject it completely and go No Tip. If they aren't paying their workers enough, they will quit.

I have personally noticed that I now subconsciously avoid buying stuff where tipping is involved exactly because the corporations are trying to more than double the expectation, so what was a habitual generous tip is now framed as being a cheapskate, and I don't want to feel pressured into it, and I don't want to make the worker feel shortchanged or disrespected, so the likelihood is that I'll just skip the whole transaction, and everyone gets nothing.
Same with Uranium!

The reason is simple but bit insidious - when there is enough "known reserves" of something, it is not economical to look for more. Once the amount of known reserves shrinks, it beings to be worth it and people start looking again. So it might always look like we have between two to five decades of oil or uranium or lithium or whatever.

Realistically, we will end humanity by burning oil a lot sooner than we will run out of oil.
People don’t realize that if all you need is prompt engineering then actually you’re one step away from it not needing you at all.

That is also one county out of many disputed. Show me stats for Wayne/Detroit for example, where apparently more black people voted for Biden than Obama.

Also their audit stats are laughably high. 99.99% you couldn't get that ratio with 110+ IQ students signing their final exam that their life depends on. That's one bad or missing signature per 10,000 students. No way elderly can sign with this accuracy rate. I don't think they could tie their shoes anywhere near this accuracy rate.
For obvious reasons, legitimate forensic audits are not done by the same people that did the original count.
> The “raw” data in so-called “raw” image formats in not unprocessed data from the image sensor.

RAW images are completely un-demosaiced and otherwise unprocessed sensor data, dead or stuck pixels and all. It's the job of the RAW converter (whether performed in-camera or post-capture) to hide those in the conversion to a standard color space.

Manufacturers are now blurring the meaning of RAW to be closer to what you imagine. For example, Apple's ProRAW images are demosaiced and heavily processed.
