> America as you know it today, with all its prosperity, was created by people who were spanked as children.

More likely by people who played outside as children. I'm pretty sure that's more universal than spanking.

Which is giving me an idea: are there societal problems among youths that correlate with either a lack of spanking or a lack of playing outside? Most of Europe has banned spanking but encourages playing outside, whereas in the US, spanking is legal but playing outside strongly discouraged. Which kids are doing better? Less violent? Less psychological problems?

Publishing an image always has a human and has always been the issue.

Doodles, personal art notebooks, photoshopped images - those have never been things that have run afoul of copyright... until they are published.

A person doodling on some paper or running stable diffusion and using it as a background image for their desktop - these have never been at issue before and from a legal point of view are likely very much the same.

I find this to be dubious and honestly a little insulting. Here in the UK there is a not insignificant number of people that die from cancers because their local health practice ignored or even refused to listen to a patient.

The idea of a yearly checkup is totally foreign here unless you are going private.
> So "wronger than wrong" is putting a heavy spin on the truth

Why do you think you are arguing against the concept? "Wronger than wrong" argues against believing everything is "equally wrong", which is precisely what your comment is also arguing against.

In other words, you agree with Asimov that equating all thing as equally wrong is "wronger than wrong", since there will always (or often) be an ordering of "less wrong".

It would be interesting to have Free Software License that requires that any thing which ingests the source code must be Free Software running on Free Hardware. If you train a model on such inputs, your model would need to be Free software and all the hardware the model runs on would need to be Free Hardware. This would create a massive incentivize to either not use such software in your model or to use Free Software and Free Hardware.

Taken to its logical conclusion, you could add the notion of Free Humans are legally bound to only produce Free Ideas. One could imagine this functioning like sort of monastic vow of charity or chastity. "Vow of silence on producing anything which is not Free (as in freedom)."

Would you take such a vow if offered 100,000 USD/year for the rest of your life (adjusted for inflation)? I would.
> I've listened to a lot of his podcasts, I do not recall him mentioning MIT once.

He actually used to host his pod at MIT before he moved to Texas to be closer to his true loves, Joe and Elon. Haven't watched him in years since he moved away from tech and more into (mostly right wing) political guests but even then you could count on one hand the interviews he didn't mention Rogan or Musk.
McDonald’s is expensive compared to rice and beans at home. A $9 sandwich is not cheap.
That's because people look at what it can do rather than what it really is. Maybe what it really is doesn't really matter all that much except to 'AI purists'. But to the rest of the world if a company markets something as 'AI' they will treat it as such, including calibration of their response to the effects of that technology independent of how it works under the hood. Whether your job gets obsoleted by LLM or AGI doesn't really matter to people who couldn't tell the difference between the two and it shouldn't matter to them. Their voice deserves to be heard in this whole debate but the tech world has decided they don't really matter.
I would definitely watch it!

>They are forever capacity-capped because their model doesn't scale; the benefits of adding labor are sub-linear, so there's a "healthy size" for them and they leave money on the table if they scale in either direction from it. But they have their niche, they fit it nicely, and they continue to operate.

That's basically most German mittlestand companies. They have their niche that doesn't scale.
> I don't blame startups for trying to get away with using everyone else's public and private property as their cost cutting "free storage" solution

Don't you? I do. Just because something is technically legal doesn't mean it's good behaviour, and we can absolutely blame people for exhibiting bad behaviour.
That’s very cool. Is it OSS?
Something vaguely similar happened in Berlin: They banned parking rental 50cc scooters on the pavement, they have to be parked on the street, competing for parking with cars.

To me this is a terrible rule, completely out of touch. Scooters improve the city as they are electric, small, and less dangerous to others. I have a car and in the summer I often pay a few euros to rent those electric 50cc scooters because they are really nice. However, one of the major benefits is that you can park anywhere.

There is a designated strip on the pedestrian walkway where it used to be allowed to park them, currently its only allowed for bicycles. There is more than enough room there and as its on the side it bothers no one. So banning them from there is not necessary.

The real problem we have is not even about these specific 50cc scooters but about the smaller ones that are mentioned here. Which have not been affected by this ban. The real problem is that some bad people, maybe its the tourists, literally park them in the very middle of the walkway, blocking people and being terribly annoying. And for this, the solution would be harsh punishments. Eg. when someone parks their scooter this way they have to pay a massive fine or get banned or whatever. Maybe users could report them and get a bounty.

So, while there is a real problem, the politicians, where I live, made this terrible decision. And when I came home, exhausted from work, there was actually parking right in front of my doorstep, but it was blocked by two rental scooters.

One of my favourite bits of trivia: it is this property (being "unicursal") which leads to a maze being more specifically characterized as a labyrinth.
So Japan can get a win out of the Crimea situation either way?

If Russia „wins“ they could justify using force to free their „historic“ possession.

And if Russia „looses“ they can argue having military control does not imply ownership. And that usage of force to revert military occupation is legal.
Hmm. Graphic-media artists tend to have much less wealth and capacity to enforce their copyrights when compared to the music or film industries, but Getty has both the funds and the political connections (the Koch brothers own about 19% of Getty [0]) to vigorously defend their copyrights.

TIL!
I pretty much only play GOTY tier games. I don't have time to play the weekly buzz.

I just looked up my steam games/GOTY games from the last few years, I don't have any.

For some reason I decided against them, not sure, maybe they are a genre that I'm not interested in, or they are from a series I've deemed are overrated.

Anyway, some games that seem pretty intense graphically that I can play: Doom Eternal, Witcher 3, Assassins Creed. Graphics are as I mentioned, at least on high. Sometimes I'll knock down the AA to 2x.
Interestingly, the scenario is somewhat discussed in the article:

"...Rivero used as an example a request he receives frequently: to check the cholesterol of young people with no risk factors. “Checking a 32-year-old man with no history of sudden death or hypercholesterolemia in the family is pointless,” and can result in prescriptions for medication of questionable usefulness and that is not without risk in the event of minor changes..."

It’s always hard for me to understand the why when it comes to China’s government.

“Investors cheer the move as signalling the end of China’s tech crackdown”

If this is government action then why would this be the “end” of government involvement?
Great move. This will increase local competition and wages, diversify ideas and design, and make shareholders more money than as a single entity. As with Standard Oil and AT&T. The U.S. should continue investigating splitting up Alphabet, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft.
While it is OLED, it's also unfortunately only 1080P resolution. When I was comparison shopping before picking up my MBP the displays were always the sticking point - tons of great specced laptops with disappointing screens compared to what Apple offers.

Over the weekend, I was trying to add a feature to a largely unfamiliar codebase. ChatGPT appeared to have knowledge of this codebase, so I asked it many questions as I worked, in order to understand the big picture. In hindsight, I'm pretty sure almost every answer ChatGPT gave me was wrong.

However, even with this outcome—I've had cases where ChatGPT was significantly more accurate—I think ChatGPT was helpful on net. The ability to propose ideas and talk through problems with a robot was really helpful when I got stuck, in a socratic dialog sort of way. Perhaps I could have gotten the same result from some sort of question-formulation exercise—all of the useful insights ultimately came from me—but I think ChatGPT's responses helped me follow my own reasoning, if that makes sense.
This is 100% what I've been thinking, too.
How is that a retcon? I believe Microsoft and IEs stagnation was to keep people using Microsoft software instead of the web.

The primary reason for chrome being developed in the first place was to push the web into a place that stuff like Google maps, docs, and so on could exist at all.

> It needs as much argument, if not more.

Read this thread where people talk about their experiences developing for safari. Read any open source web libraries issue list. It will be immidiately apparent that safari is the odd man out who constantly has to be baby sat in order to work properly.

The reason I said it needs less argument is that I assumed it would be immidiately apparent. Most people who do web dev come away with this impression.
But everyone knows this right? It’s been happening now for months and the fallout has been interesting. The people who refuse to use it are either the top of something (money/iq/eq etc) or will not make it (it is the current status and job and income level) as they can trivially be replaced soon (and now).
No computer in my office is running without Mullvad VPN. No mac without Little Snitch.
It's interesting to contrast China's approach of not allowing business to operate within the plane of power in which the government does, vs. the United States, which has companies whose power is certainly on the level of many state governments.
Seems like a pedantic argument. Obviously there is always a human behind it unless it's sentient and can make its own decisions, at which point there are much bigger ethical considerations to discuss first.

If it is a reasoning engine, why didn't it answer "I don't know" in the first case?
A "couch co-op" section would be great for kids and adults (the existing "co-op" section has Eldin Ring as #1...) in a docked or traditional console setting. My kids love Overcooked, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, etc. This maps to how our family uses our Switch as well. It's rare for my kids to use the Switch as a portable handheld.

To me, SD's incredibly wide compatibility has a ton of appeal to my kids. Java Minecraft with mods in a portable Switch form factor? Hell yes!
Why make verifiably false statements like this?

> It isn’t clear that increasing interest rates will have any impact on lowering prices. The nascent resurgence in inflation being experienced across the world is primarily still due to supply chain disruptions. The mechanism by which rising interest rates are supposed to impact inflation is essentially by increasing unemployment, which weakens workers’ bargaining power and thus slows wage growth. But lowering wage growth won’t do anything to address supply side constraints or energy shortages, which are a driver of ‘cost-push’ rather than ‘demand-pull’ inflation.

> ...

> The trade-off for policy makers between creating jobs and wage growth, while simultaneously controlling inflation, goes back to a 1958 paper by economist William Phillips on the relationship between ‘Unemployment and the Rate of Change of Money Wage Rates in the United Kingdom, 1861-1957’, which became a cornerstone of macroeconomics. The paper identified the correlation between lower unemployment with higher inflation and vice-versa (see Figure 2).

The explanation for this relationship was that as unemployment decreased the ability of workers to bid for higher wages increased due to less competition in the labour market. Higher wages mean more income to spend on goods and services, which leads to prices going up. This is bad for net creditors and net savers, because the inflation cancels out the interest on savings. By contrast, workers and net borrowers benefit from rising wages and prices, as it allows them to pay off their debt more quickly, which is depreciating in real terms relative to their income.

https://tribunemag.co.uk/2021/11/bank-of-england-rishi-sunak...

Inflation is multifactorial, different types of disruption to the economic web cause different effects on it, the article then goes on to mention the overall lower wages on US and UK post Reagan Thatcher as case study for how labor and wage growth changes inflation rates

I'm a front-end engineer proficient in JS, React, Node and of course HTML/CSS. I have a keen eye for design and have taught professionally at Butler University.

My experience spans across the stack, excelling at both the front of the front end and back of the front end (e.g. Node, Next.js). I'm also comfortable on the far side of the back end, especially in a LAMP stack.

When it comes to collaboration I have a coaching mindset which means I am open-minded, curious, flexible and client-centered.

I've worked with startup teams and enterprise clients. My work was pivotal for one of my startup clients being acquired. I continued to work with them post-acquisition, scaling what was initially a small MVP into a product that serves tens of thousands of users to this day.

More recently I shared my passion project, a progressive web app that I used for tracking my progress across a 5-day backpacking trip https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33420852

There's a similar phenomenon when you look at fetal heart monitoring for otherwise healthy pregnant women going into labour. The two options are continuous monitoring, where the monitor is left in place for the entire hospital stay, and periodic monitoring, where a nurse installs it, takes a reading, and removes it about once an hour.

Common sense would dictate that negative outcomes are reduced with continuous monitoring, but it's actually the opposite, because the odds of the monitor detecting something in the intervening time and the intervention being correct are lower than the odds of the intervention causing some other unwanted side effect.
You and I have a different mental model of how policing works. I think you are both believing the propaganda about the existence of policing agencies, and projecting your beliefs about them onto me.

Police don't protect people from people.

People don't not assault and kill others because of police.

There's abundant counterfactuals I could list that demonstrate that people generally don't avoid unethical behavior because of the police.

And, police are often the originators of unethical behavior.

I humbly propose that you grow your mental model of policing in America to a more sophisticated level.

Yeah, the smart ones find a better school district to work in or leave the profession entirely. None of my friends in teaching are working 2 jobs. They can find a better paying non-teaching job, easily. Our son has 8 classes and 6 teachers. The school proudly announced at the beginning of the school year they were fully staffed. Currently they are at 85% with a revolving door of educators. We're in a HCOL city and school board is going forward with plans to build housing for teachers because they simply can't recruit them any other way.
