Yes.. It is near impossible to change a phone number for most accounts. My US banks would not allow for the same amount of digits as my European phone number had. Wiring money from my own accounts wanted to send a 4 digit pin to my US number which would not work in France. You seem to imply that in 2023, we are not capable of making a banking application accept more than one format of phone number. And the fact that google cannot figure out I live in another country (and I have to enter a bank card with address in an app store or else I am blocked from certain apps) is laughable.

That's some rewriting of history considering it's less than a year old. The scramble to get France's nuclear plants back online was because they completely failed in the first place, and at a critical time. Half of the fleet was offline most of the year, and half of those were completely unplanned and difficult to fix [1]. And it's still happening [2]. This failure was one of the biggest reasons for the electricity crunch and high prices - the expected output of France was missing and they themselves became net importers. [3]

Thank God the reliable renewables delivered.

Haha. Well I agree with the reasons for difference in pay gap. My suggestion is why not make those metrics public as well, people can see for themselves if it related to working hours, output, level of risk etc.
I remember my friend told me her trick during the SAT was to tell them she was hypoglycemic, because otherwise they wouldn’t let her bring in a small snack to eat. Her logic was that during the SAT, the body consumes so much energy that replenishing sugar is necessary half way through for proper brain function, and they won’t let you bring in food unless you have some sort of issue. But the SAT creates the issue!

I have no idea if she was right, but she did do better than me on the SAT, and she is a doctor now, so suffice it to say I always have a snack when coding. You know, for thinking.
Sorry, I've just noticed that May 28 is the date for the municipal and regional elections. The general election (which is what I was referring to) will be later in the year, no later than December 10.
Pay gap studies are notorious for being overly ignorant of confounding factors. There probably is a pay gap but it’s incredibly hard to quantify and many studies choose to look only at $$ versus benefits (schedule flexibility, maternity leave, part time, etc)

US studies for example don’t always consider that women overindex in less technical careers (teaching, humanities, etc), often those that have lower salaries but significantly higher benefits and more flexibility. Women also overindex in part time positions.

Input shaper calibration is affected by the surface that the printer is standing on. If your workbench happens to be more or less rigid than the surface the printer was calibrated on at the factory, the calibration won't be accurate. The input shaper could fail to correct for some resonances, or correct for resonances that don't exist. This will cause visible artefacts in the print.

Other printers at a similar price point offer one-touch calibration of input shaping, or automatically calibrate before each print as part of the homing and warmup routine. On the Mk4, you need to buy an accelerometer module, figure out some way of attaching it to the printhead and the bed, then run the calibration routine twice.

What you actually need to avoid are manufacturers like HP, unless the idea of an “ink subscription” appeals to you. It’s also best to avoid ink jets both because of ink costs but also because they’re much less reliable especially if you don’t use them often - the ink dries up and the autoclean option never quite works right.
I don't think radical technical breakthroughs will be the solutions to any of those problems. Those are human problems. There's nothing wrong solving technical problems while human problems persist. Putting programmers, data scientists, etc on human problems doesn't solve them better or faster than putting someone outside of STEM on them

Until the ~90s, Japan had a very strong social agreement between the corporations and the people and the government which basically guaranteed well paying jobs for life at the trade-off of the corporate culture.

This reminds me of a weird phenomenon I've observed where users seem to have a better opinion of "slower" software. If certain, ostensibly complex operations like generating an output or saving a record take longer in one application than another, the first app is assumed to be "doing more" or "creating better results".

And I've noticed that I'm not immune to it myself. I sometimes catch myself wondering "what am I not doing right?" when I've made a thing that is perceptively instant compared to a competitor taking 5 to 10 seconds to do the same thing.

Indeed, it seems to contradict the studies that companies like Amazon have done to show that "every 300ms of latency leads to X% of users bouncing out." I've only seen people complain about the most egregious of performance issues. People seem to have been trained to expect software to be slow and have come up with an ex post facto rationalization for why that is the case.

It's particularly frustrating because I've only ever worked on small teams, which already receive a lot of bias of the form, "what could a handful of people do compared to the might of FAANG?” When often the reality is that the organizational structure of large corporations frequently leads to the lack of cooperation necessary to make quality software.

I think a likely culprit might be the massive amounts of logging that I don't do, either of user or system activity. When using tools like Logcat to try to debug issues on-device, I notice hundreds of log entries being recorded per second from all corners of different apps and system layers before I finally re-learn how to use the arcane filtering system to get to the stuff from only my app. And that's just system level logging. Throw on top all the Google Analytics stuff some apps do for every click, every page transition, every single thing a user could do, and I suspect it adds up to quite a bit of UI latency, network bandwidth saturation (some ostensibly simple sites become unusable on bad network connections while my own apps seem barely affected), and energy usage.
> well, wouldn't a super-intelligent AI get its goals from its human nature, meaning its human creators? Which would imply that its goals are likely to be fundamentally pro-human, because what human in their right mind would create a super-intelligent AI which was anti-human?

Companies working on AI research don't work on "pro-human" AIs, but AIs increasing their profits. Market forces will shape what values those AIs will have. Military AIs probably won't be very humanistic for example. An AI trained by ISIS-like organization will have probably values most of us won't find humanistic.

> I think there will likely be numerous super-intelligent AIs, and I wouldn't expect them all to have the same goals – they'll compete among themselves just as humans do.

I agree, but that's actually what I worry about the most.

I expect US, EU, China etc. using their AIs in a restrained/sandboxed way, probably only in an advisory role.

But rogue countries like North Korea and Iran, with a much higher risk tolerance threshold, will see a potential equalizer in them. They might give them much more direct control - hoping that by cutting out the slow human approval process, their AIs might help them outcompete their otherwise stronger foes.

I expect them happily building AI systems directly into weapon systems. Their weapon production factories might be directed by AI systems as well. Add some automated logistics, count 1 + 1 + 1, and you have self-replicating factories of autonomous killing machines. Sounds like a bad scifi scenario, yeah.

In general the combination of bad actors training their AIs for their agenda and giving them direct access to the real world resources is a very bad combination.

As you say, the majority of AIs might be on our good side. But they can effectively defend against rogue AIs only if they have direct access to weapons/resources as well.

> The average super-intelligent AI is likely to see preserving humanity – even in its animality – as its ultimate reason for existence

This is a very strong assumption. Maybe we will train them for this, but will this hold? AIs will change, morph, they might change opinions, just as we do. Even with the LLMs, we have very little idea of how they work, it would be difficult to guarantee that strong AIs will forever remain loyal to humanity.

Aging family members is difficult. Everyone is learning through the process. Whether you have kids or not, some of the experiences make it feel like you do.

But that’s very difficult to reconcile, as this person raised you. It is hard not to internalize some feeling of “how dare I?” in these cases. Since when does a parent need their child’s help at such basic things? Parents raise their children, but I don’t know of a term that captures that same feeling about an adult caring for their elderly parent. If there isn’t, there ought to be.

Additionally, consider looking into resources for caregivers. Reading material, maybe a support group, I don’t know. Whatever sounds right, if it sounds right.

You are one, a caregiver, even if you didn’t know it. That’s hard work! Sometimes invisible, even to the worker. If you feel exhausted from all of this, that’s not an unreasonable feeling. It’s hard to be proactive if you’re worn out.

They directly wrote about the problem, it's not the entire market they are moving, just the market for the specific parts they are attempting to buy. They hired brokers to source some key components and later found out that the two brokers they hired were bidding against each other (due to lack of coordination) and as a result were driving up their own pricing.

Someone coming into a small market and scooping up 10k parts can absolutely move the needle on the pricing, and it already happened to Prusa (if self-inflicted). This isn't a theoretical.

> Of course it will not be stopped

One way or another, it will definitely be stopped. At some point, civilization collapse would end the burning of fossil fuels at scale. The question is at what point it will stop and whether any tipping points are passed which accelerate the process out of control.

It's far from obvious that all efforts to limit carbon emissions will fail and to say otherwise is deeply cynical. Measures are being taken already. They are not enough to reach the claimed goals and the claimed goals will probably not be reached, but that's very different from saying warming will not be stopped at all, let alone "of course". More measures will follow once the adverse effects get worse in industrialized countries (e.g. deaths and economic damage due to changing climate and weather events).

Thank you for saying this out loud. Let me preface by saying that I am not a shill for big electricity companies. The cost of electricity, including green energy, and "net metering" needs to including the cost of transfer -- basically "big wires". Most people are delusional about the cost of transfer. One idea: Force generation and electricity transfer to be separate companies. Today, they are frequently a single company. This might help to create more realistic "net metering" pricing. Also, it might help to have some gov't rules for "net metering" pricing contracts.

> Pay gap studies are notorious for being overly ignorant of confounding factors.

How about these factors?

"Added to this is a poor work-life balance in South Korea, as well as a disparity in the distribution of domestic tasks. Women often assume the responsibility of raising children, pushing them to have to choose between working or being mothers. In South Korea, the work week is 52-hours-long."

"Single mothers are stigmatized, doctors refuse to give IVF to women without a male partner—even though it’s not illegal—and out-of-wedlock births represent only 2% of the total, compared to the average of 41% for women in the OECD. Marriage and childbirth are closely intertwined; women are pressured to sacrifice their career once they have a child or get married."
Yeah, guilty as charged. I’ve probably been constantly online since I was 13 (24 now). It’s incredibly easy to find a multitude of things to do online to keep an ADHD-brained person entertained for hours on end, especially if they don’t have a social spark that makes them want to form connections with other people or go on any kind of social outing.

I think this number will continue to rise in the future. Probably 40% by 2035.
I read the article. A sibling commenter has already mentioned the big issue with pay gap studies. I will only add that you can find studies showing domestic abuse prevalence at anywhere from 0% to 100% depending on what they define as abuse and how the survey is done. The article didn't really provide enough context for me to take the statistic seriously, as I know a lot of Korean people and personally struggle to believe that 8 out of 10 of them beat their wives. (The rate of abuse from women towards men would also be relevant for context.)

The first google snippet for "domestic violence south korea" says "According to the results of a 2021 study on violence against women, which the Korean Women's Development Institute conducted via a research contract with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, out of 7,000 adult women surveyed, 16.1% or 1,124 women had experienced physical, sexual, emotional, or financial violence"

You can't simplify something like this down to a simple number and then scream bloody murder.
