> The quality standard has already been met

I acknowledged in my first post that a particular quality standard had already been met by AI. I also concede that this quality standard could be sufficient for many businesses. God help us all if it's 90% of businesses.
> No more or less than if I had paid a ghostwriter to produce the first manuscript.

I'd argue that no one who is aware of the ghostwriters considers the celebrities who used them writers or having written a book.

> writing a book is a daunting endeavor

Absolutely. But it's not one you're going to actually succeed on. Sure, your name will be on the cover, but you won't have written the book. As you say, you'll have edited it.
I think status (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35400562 ) is a bigger deal than personal risk. Status lessens personal risk, by getting buy-in from others.

This can work even with poor people who have connections and status within their community.

Status not only gets buy-in from others for business operations, but gets buy in from customers, which is required for any business to survive and thrive.

I've had Adam Neumann, in particular, in mind while reading this thread. He famously had multiple shots. Some of these may have been while just a child of the upper middle class, but his most recent big ones were because of his connection to status within the upper class.

It's kind of like the failing upward of executives of broken companies. Once you get past a certain level of status it's really, really hard to lose it all so much that you can't get buy in from others.

> What distinguished Neumann, along with his ambition, was “his connection to capital,” Wiedeman writes. Neumann had married Rebekah Paltrow, a wealthy cousin of Gwyneth Paltrow and a kabbalah devotee. She invested part of a $1 million nest egg in WeWork and introduced her husband to Manhattan’s Kabbalah Centre, where he met other well-off backers.
For whatever upper limit we finally decide we must keep warming under there will be a corresponding total amount of greenhouse gases that can be in the atmosphere without pushing warming past that limit.

Since the atmosphere does not care about arbitrary man-made boundaries it makes no sense to do an unweighted comparison of the emissions of different countries when trying to decide which countries are emitting too much and need to cut back and which countries are using less than their fair share and can still expand.

One way to see this is to look at what happens when a country splits in two. With an unweighted comparison for determining shares any country that is using more than its share could split into smaller countries. The union of those smaller countries would still be emitting at least as much as before but it would move the finger to point at someone else.

The sensible comparison is to weight by population, with adjustments for trade to account for countries outsourcing their emissions to others.

India is around #130 in emissions per capita. Nigeria is around #170. They are both currently way below their fair share. If India and Nigeria as part of growing more wealthy needed to increase their emissions to the same level as Brazil, that could be offset by the US cutting emission by a mere 10%.
> Similarly, Block Universe ideas are rejected by many people on the grounds of "but what about free will?".

Didn't know about block universes so far, but as for the general idea of a deterministic universe, I never quite got why people see it so much as a contradiction to free will.

When we experience free will in our lives, I think what that mostly entails is that we have thoughts and make decisions based on our experience of the world - plus our own knowledge, memories, attitudes, feelings etc. Our thoughts and actions are influenced by a great deal of what happened in the past, but we don't access the past directly: All we have is our memory of past events. And memories, knowledge, attitudes etc are all part of the brain - and therefore part of the current world state.

So as long as the entirety of your thinking and decision-making is only based on your memories, this seems perfectly compatible with a deterministic universe to me. It also doesn't restrict free will in any practically meaningful way: All it says is that if given the exact same "brain state", you'd decide in the same way - but it's practically impossible to have the same brain state twice. If you can remember having made a choice in the past, then your brain is already in a different state than it was back then, so it's perfectly possible to choose differently the second time without violating determinism.

On the other hand, if you could somehow reset your brain exactly back to a previous state, this would imply forgetting everything that had happened since that time - and then it's not a big surprise that you'd choose the same way as you did the first time.

(And I think if you use that definition of "free will" then in principle even LLMs could have it: They have their own "brain state" with "memories" encoded as the model weights, the prompt and all the tokens emitted previously in the conversation.)

There is a second, orthogonal discussion about free will, which asks how much influence biological and subconscious factors have on thinking. I think the famous "your neurons triggered long before you 'decided' to push the button" experiment belongs to that category. I found that discussion always much more reasonable, but also a lot less clear-cut: There is a much larger spectrum of possible outcomes than the binary "full free will/no free will" of the "deterministic universe" discussion.

> Writing is almost never the issue. It's debugging that is the absolute nightmare, because it is so tedious to reconstruct what happened in terms of low-level things. Without names, data structures, functions, human memory quickly becomes overwhelmed.

People claim GPT is creative and when I disagree, they say mixing to come up with a new combo is creative and that humans do it for creativity too

While that might be true, what's even better is if GPT could read assembly code, find things that can be fixed and optimized and write new more optimal better code.

Of course this can be done in any language. If we could get GPT to optimize our code libraries to reduce code size, memory footprint etc that would be a huge win for humanity and also show creativity.

In short, it should tackle the "why is hello world app in X language taking up 100MB" problem :)

>Yeah that was an interesting read. I like the concept of a -10x engineer because they definitely exist

I don't believe 10x engineers actually exist. Maybe 1.5x, 2x, or 3x engineers exist at most. 10x is a huge exaggeration of human capability.

Get this, say a project takes a year to complete. The concept is saying a 10x engineer can do this in about month.
If such a person exists it will be so rare I estimate that most people haven't ever encountered an actual "10x" engineer. Even a 3x engineer is super rare. I can see something like 2x happening where a project that takes a year is done in 6 months. That is rare but plausible.

You also might get a lead who can ramp up the effectiveness of an entire team by say 3x at most. If the size of the team was N, then it's N*3X. If N is like 4 then it's a 12x increase. This is the closest thing to an actual 10x engineer. But it's not actually a 10x engineer here it's just better management.

Yes there are, ones that put language models in action loops (where the output is sent to a command line or something and the response sent back to the model as extension of the prompt).

I sometimes go weeks without realizing that I have literally zero cash in my wallet.

I was using UPI so much that my credit card usage had dropped to almost nothing. Literally had to force myself to use the credit card more to accumulate some rewards.
I was initially prone to believeing this, but the more I looked into it the more I realized how little sense it would make.

For your points:
1. This was the thing that initially made me skeptical, but it's just not enough to say. Sure living 3 years more then anyone else is pretty unlikely, but at the same time it's not proof.
2. The swap would have had to happen so early, when Yvonne was just 34 years old she would have had to impersonate her mother, pretend to be married to her father, and fool everyone in the small town she lived in. That is just not a credible thing. And the alleged payoff to avoid taxes doesn't seem big enough to be worth the immense effort that this swap would have had to go through.
3. Photos are fairly worthless for these sorts of things. Different angles, lighting, camera techniques all can make people look very different.

At the end of the day I find the alleged swap to be less believable then someone just living a long time

My grandmother died from stroke after she let some people in to give them water and they stole her money (even though it wasn't much money, maybe 1 month of pension, and we could support her if she needed it).

People feel significantly more emotional distress from losing money (especially from stealing) than not getting / earning it.

The amount of harm caused by these people is inconceivable.
From a hobby point of view (meaning that I purchase these things in very small quantities), then cost of both of these is comparable.

They are building, buying, and using a lot of coal, but that's mostly a temporary regression in their environmentalism from a significant economic reduction. Remember, at one point they were literally closing their airports because it's too smoggy to operate safely. China will reduce their fossil fuel usage even if global warming was not a concern, simply because they don't like the lost productivity and societal happiness that comes from breathing so much smog.

The time between the first Calment death and Calment becoming notable is long enough - over 50 years - that it's plausible that people who were in on the scam/aware of the assumption of the mother's identity had already died. Especially since ww2 happened in the interim

Raffray is the biggest sticking point in this fwiw - he had time and incentive to debunk Calment's age, and had some preexisting relationship with her before they entered their contract.

No, for "regular taxis" you just stop paying after you have closed the plant.

Your logically flawed arguments are also wrong on a factual level.
At the end of the day, nothing beats convenience. If the tech and the ecosystem was the same as it is today, it would have found adoption even without demonetization.
Wife's grandma recently died in her mid 90s. No one in the family actually knew how old she was. In many developing nations, such recordkeeping was often oral and unreliable.
Why? What do you think the better model is?
We actually do have excellent consumer protection, on paper. The issue is that you frequently have to go to court, which mostly favors the consumers. People just aren't willing to spend years getting their laptop, TV or controller fixed.

Apple-Care shouldn't be a thing in the EU, our warranty laws ensure that. In reality, I just want my stuff fixed, not spend three years in a legal battle with Apple.
We’re already seeing countries decouple their economic growth from CO2 output (even after accounting for offshoring)[0]. Coupled with the fact that green technologies like wind and solar are either cheaper, or cost competitive with fossil sources of energy, plus the history of developing countries leap frogging up the tech tree (for example many African countries jumped straight to mobile banking). There’s absolutely no reason to believe that developing countries will cause anywhere near the same levels of environmental damage as western countries did during their development.

Additionally, western countries could just pay developing to use greener tech, covering extra cost’s needed to build carbon neutral economies, given western nations have profited enormously from their exploitation of the natural environment.

To believe that climate change is hopeless problem, and that solutions could not only be developed, but already exist, is pointlessly cynical and counterproductive. Rather than explain why we’re all doom, you could instead do some research and learn about the interesting work going on to solve the exact issues you mention.

We tried some of those and they're OK. But they're still structured. What people really need is unstructured time together where our attention isn't fully consumed by something.
Feature stores are essentially materialized views (aside from any realtime feature resolution needed). I think it's a good thing that there is specialized effort being taken here, though: features stores are an abstraction that could be useful in other domains also, and this surge in interest is an opportunity for us to make better tools.

That question is unanswerable so its weird to wonder about it...
When VCs skip diligence and invest in a bunch of frauds like Wirecard, Greensill, FTX, etc., it creates an externality we all have to deal with - we're basically subsidizing their credulousness by getting defrauded.

Since huge frauds propped up by VCs seem to collapse several times a year, it doesn't seem like losing their money is incentive not to invest in frauds. It seems like they've just priced it in.

Granted, this might be yesterday's war, money might be tight in the next few years and that might better align incentives.
