Yea, and I can easily imagine in the near future you don't even have to wait for somebody to copy these simpler "app-around-an-API" apps because AI models will generate the interface and the simpler logic for you on the fly.
There will be still value in the human input: the ideas of the creator / prompter about what kind of features should the AI include, but if others too have access to the same app-generating AI then they can just generate it based on the same idea. So copying simpler apps will become a lot easier and you would need some complex feature as the core value of your app to compete with AI generated apps.

In my observation and experience with watching the medical profession do what it does with many family members, it is an art form of personal preservation to avoid being caught in the teeth of the medical industry. Nothing in that sentiment implies undue trust in alternative medicine.

That being said, there are minor things that people can do to avoid and solve problems. Which might otherwise get over-treated should one submit to a doctor. Go to bed early, become skilled with vitamin C usage for vascular health preservation, find a way to be active every day, avoid PUFA, get your iron checked for overdose (they enrich everything with it), etc.

That coffee does not exist in a vacuum. The temperature at which people want to drink it, and when, is part of this as well, probably even more important, and requiring reheating is the worst of all worlds.

Also, you would likely be hard-pressed to tell the difference in bitterness given the relatively short maximum holding times (two hours in the steel urn, half an hour in the glass pot) and how much coffee the average breakfast goes through (it will be hanging out a lot less time than the maximum). Remember, this is McDonald's. The coffee being a bit more bitter won't result in complaints. The coffee being not hot enough will.

Microcode (the concept) is very much older than the 1970's. Per Wikipedia ([1]) the earliest system with something like 'microcode' dates back to 1947.

What is 'special' for the 8086 is that this was a low cost microprocessor using microcode, as opposed to a multi-million dollar mainframe CPU.

Sure, there were probably a few scattered people across the globe that hardly anyone knew about but the internet really seemed to ignite this into a global phenomenon.

For me, I only just realized I'd been doing it since college, like, accidentally. The way my schedule worked out, I just rarely ate before noon, and then usually ate dinner before 7pm. Only just recently did I realize that was technically IF?

These days, I've noticed that I usually get one major hunger pain about 9-10am, and if I can make it through that without eating, making it to noon is easy. So I just make sure to have an extra cup of coffee right to distract the mouth, and before long, it's lunchtime.

But I really hardly hold to that schedule on the weekends. I'm really not trying to do it intentionally, it's just habit at this point, so if I slip, IDGAF. Plus, now I've got kids, and I'm the designated "eat whatever they don't so nothing is wasted" parent. So that basically results in small snacks basically 7-7.

> This sort of ignores the global nature of our supply chains though.

To me the answer is a pretty easy one:

Take the CO2 emissions of a country and divide by its GDP. That gives you a CO2 per dollar. Then decide on a CO2 cost per unit for your country. Now apply that as a tariff per dollar of imports from said country.

It's imperfect, of course. But I think it is close enough to estimate what we want it to do.

I hear you re: weekend and beers, and on those nights I would just start eating much later next day.

Also if you miss occasionally one day every couple of months because you were out on a late dinner or date - no harm done. I still find it easy to keep a 13-hour window which I read is the minimum threshold for IF.

Live a little. Turning IF into a religion makes it really hard to follow and a chore.

Also if I feel hungry in the afternoon, but had my last meal later the night before, I would just find myself a task to complete (household chore, or an actual work task) or would go for a walk / go shopping, which provides a 1-3 hour fast extension.
> You'll say that Finland has to assume threat and mitigate risks, but this is hardly any different from Russia's perspective against NATO.

Finland is considered by Russia to be an unfriendly country. That's an escalation towards violence and the USSR and Finland have fought several wars. No reason to wait a decade to get invaded like Ukraine; just join NATO now while you can.

The difference is how Finland and Russia are mitigating their threats. Finland is mitigating the threat of Russia by joining a defense alliance. Russia is mitigating the threat of NATO's power expansion by invading countries that might join.

Russia could create their own defense alliance, lets call it the Warsaw Pact. And then it could allow Ukraine to join their Warsaw Pact. If NATO invaded Ukraine to prevent Ukraine from joining the Warsaw pact I'd say NATO was in the wrong.

> Eh, methinks this is an overestimation of Russia's ambition. One could realistically argue that Russia merely "defends" east-leaning loyalish "Russian-speaking" regions. Realistically, even action towards Odessa would automatically involve Prednisone and then no one would be handle that Genie without major clusterfuck.

The problem is the phrase "regions". Nobody cares when you kill people within your own borders. Ukraine is outside of Russia's borders and so we care.
Romans were believed to have a 'pale white' skin. They lived in Rome, and while there are records of sunshades (Velarium), it doesn't seem they were common. For example, the colosseum, a place people might stay many hours, had only 30% coverage.

You know you're taking out of the equation the will of the Finns to defend their country. You keep talking as if the Soviets could've done it, if they wanted to.

They didn't do it, and you know why? Because they tried, and couldn't. That's what happened.

I'm sure you mean well, but even though they killed more than 5.5 million Nazis, they couldn't kill more than 70k Finns. And that's history, not some alternative possibility.
> - AIs becoming sentient and causing harm for their own ends.

You can scratch that one off the list. This is pure pseudo-intellectual fantasy. This notion isn't backed by anything and there are good reasons to disregard it, to put it mildly. It is fair to say that this concern isn't even wrong.

The concerns over "AI" have been and continue to be of a practical nature, namely, that of increasingly sophisticated automation. If we frame things in terms of automation, we can have a more productive discussion that stands of chance of contributing to good legislation and regulation instead of mystification and obscurantism.

- Nice UI to add files, functions, and selections to messages.
Not AI, you can tell because it doesn't have creepy fingers.

Thanks chat gpt. That's a very 2021 answer - definitely what we thought up till then. But the most curious thing is:

both have led to job losses due to automation, but also created new jobs for skilled workers who were needed to operate the machines or run AI-powered systems respectively

which does prove my point, no ? Operate machines across all industries vs data science ?

Most of my life I never ate breakfast, and for much of my life I skipped lunch. Lots of people are surprised by this, but apparently it's called one meal a day or something. Though for a while I've been doing a smoothie breakfast. Cutting back on that since it's a lot more calories than I thought. I find these days I'm hungrier and more prone to "feeling it in my brain" than when I was younger.
Bootstrapping is a fun thing. You already have some good answers.

Now imagine how most things around you were made, how higher tech was made with lower tech. How they made high precision tools, when there were only lower precision tools available? For example: how to make a 0.001 mm precise caliper when all you have is a 0.1 mm one? There were a lot of challenges like that and we still get to new ones. I just wonder what general term is used for things like that.

I've been doing 20/4 for quite some time, even through weekends. barbecue, hamburgers and drinks on the weekend are my weakness too. my tricks to beat hunger are:

- go for a walk, it will stop/slow your craving pretty fast. i do walk a lot, but just going around the block is usually enough to distract my stomach.

- consume electrolytes like potassium capsules. i take 1-2 99mg capsules per day.

- get some iodized salt, eat a 1/2 teaspoon 1-2 times a day with water. this will boost your energy on an empty stomach.

- coffee/caffeine. i drink 3-5 cups of coffee or tea per day.

- eat a big, healthy dinner, with some berries or an apple for dessert.

Vendor lock-in is a whole separate question. I agree it will be interesting to see how it plays out, and as with most new technologies there will be plenty of opportunities for abuse. Though I'm also not sure this problem is one that's fundamentally new and specific to AI
> That’s bad practice, full stop.

No disagreement, there.

> it was a mitigation to a risk introduced by a hardware change

It wasn't really a risk. It was to make it behave the same.

Allow me to explain something. A jet airliner is full of hardware and software adjustments to the flying characteristics. For example, look at the wing. What do you think the flaps and slats are for? They are to completely change the shape of the wing, because a low speed wing is very very different from a high speed wing. There are also systems to prevent asymmetric flaps, as that would tear the wings off.

The very existence of the stab trim is to adjust the flying characteristics. The stab trim has an automatic travel limiter to constrain the travel as the speed increases because, you guessed it, full travel at high speed will rip the tail off.

The control columns are connected to a "feel computer" which pushes back on the stick to make the airplane feel in a consistent way from low speed to high speed. This feel computer can be mechanical or software. Pilots fly by the force feedback on the stick, not the travel of it. The idea is to make the airplane "feel" like a completely different airplane. Without the feel computer, they'd promptly rip the airplane apart.

There are plenty more of these. The MCAS concept is no different in any substantive way.

Your thesis that using software to run it as some unusual risk is simply dead wrong. What was wrong with the MCAS system was:

1. reliance on only one sensor

2. too much travel authority

3. it should have shut itself off if the pilot countermanded it

What was also wrong was:

a. Pilots did not use the stab trim cutoff switch like they were trained to

b. The EA pilots did not follow the Emergency Airworthiness Directive sent to them which described the two step process to counter MCAS runaway

There weren't any software bugs in MCAS. The software was implemented according to the specification. The specification for it was wrong, in points 1..3 above.

P.S. Mechanical/hydraulic computers have their own problems. Component wear, dirt, water getting in it and freezing, jamming, poor maintenance, temperature effects on their behavior, vibration affecting it, leaks, etc. Software does not have those problems. The rudder PCU valve on the 737 had a very weird hardover problem that took years to figure out. It turned out to be caused by thermal shock.

> AI will most likely create jobs, but how many jobs can it create ? Please walk me through the parallelism with the Industrial Revolution.

The creation of AI-powered machines and systems is expected to generate new types of jobs in addition to replacing some existing ones like data entry clerks or accountants. However, there are concerns about how many net job gains will occur as a result of the automation revolution that has already begun with robots taking over repetitive tasks such as manufacturing assembly lines and warehouses.

The Industrial Revolution brought significant changes to society through mechanization in industries like textiles or steel, but it also created new jobs for skilled workers who were needed to operate the machines. Similarly, AI will create opportunities for professionals with expertise such as data scientists and machine learning engineers that can help design algorithms and train models using large datasets.

The parallelism between these two revolutions is evident in their impact on society's labor market: both have led to job losses due to automation, but also created new jobs for skilled workers who were needed to operate the machines or run AI-powered systems respectively.
