DPRK is useful because it can inflict damage and threats without having its masters (most likely Russia or China) getting directly involved.

Also helpful to collect intelligence.

Sending missiles toward Japan directly hurts the economy of Japan and its political stability (which in returns, has positive effects that the competitors of Japan can reap).
A few years ago I would've agreed with you. But now, so many websites are also festooned with intrusive/obstructive advertising that I cringe nearly every time I click on a SERP result whose domain is unknown to me.

Perhaps the rise of tech like phind will force those sites to re-think their approach to monetizing their content...? I'm not holding my breath.
Likewise with the "we've received attacks directed at Foundation members". Are we talking about people sending feedback that disagrees with the policy, or genuine threats? I'd find it hard to believe the latter has taken place.

Of course, it might've, but this is an all-too-common tactic to dismiss criticism of any kind.

> I don’t think women’s rights should be up for discussion just because some men don’t get laid

That’s not the point. The places of men and women were clear before, now the current narrative is that women were oppressed and men were oppressor. That is a false reading of history.

The biggest difficulties were put on men to sacrifice themselves for their family, country, society.

Now we find ourselves in a culture that is completely dysfunctional with relationships. If a couple form at all and manage to have a few kids it’s not often that they will stay together long enough to bring the kids into adulthood. This is disastrous for everyone.

So my advice is: reject the modern men ideal that you are used to, it’s wrong and broken, go toward traditional value, get muscular, confident and go to places were women are that mesh with your interests.

And before someone call this misogynic, it’s not it’s simply the reconnaissance that men and women are different and complementary.

This is a good example on how the culture is trying to destroy the masculine, it’s everywhere even in kids movies.

This is something I said, but didn't explain well in the thread about Bluesky using domains as handles. You did a much better job of explaining it in your article. Being able to adjust the moderation rules to fit specific scenarios is useful.

I also think the use of domains could have a significant impact on the quality of online discourse because building a good reputation on a domain and having that transferable anywhere on the internet is a lot more valuable than a handle that's only usable within the silo of a single company.

Sub-domains add another layer where the owner of the top level domain has incentive to make sure they're not bringing bad actors onto the network because moderation could be enacted against the base domain, not just individual sub-domains.

Domain based attestation could also drive significant change. Imagine a system where spending money at a reputable company gave you a digital token / receipt that you could attribute to a domain (aka identity) as a way to attest to that domain being a good participant.

The attestation wouldn't cost anything beyond what you're already spending, but it's valuable because it demonstrates you're spending real money somewhere and attributing it to an identity. That doesn't scale well for bad actors running millions of bots because someone like me might have thousands of dollars of spending per year that I can attribute to my reputation or the reputation of someone I've had a good interaction with and bots can't throw that kind of money away. IE: It's a good indicator that a domain / identity isn't a bot, spammer, jerk, etc..
Did he though? I thought the digital copy of the daughter was already in that digital world, and her still-living friend had to take him to meet her in said world?

No, they were paying less. There are less people competing for them now, hence wages rising. Supply -> Demand.
Out of curiosity (this is totally not my field)- aren't anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems a thing, especially for a technologically advanced country like Japan? If Ukraine can shoot down half or more of the missiles that Russia lobs at them, why can't Japan use a similar system like the Patriot or Iron Dome?

Related question- what's the status of shooting down missiles in flight with lasers? Is that still a generation or two away?

Steve Roberts had a gig (maybe during the Winnebiko period) writing a column about his travels for CompuServe Magazine. In case you don't remember it, CompuServe was a walled-garden pre-AOL dialup internet site which included forums, games, and news. In this early-in-the-virtual era, subscribers to CompuServe also received each month, via snail mail, a glossy real-world periodical.

I sent Steve a fan email, and to my wonder, received a reply back. He struck me as a lovely guy, happy to correspond about the music and his general state of mind.

My memory is that an attraction of his column was that each was written from a different place, and described the adventures getting there, and being there. But then he got to the Florida Keys. And hung out at the Florida Keys for another column. And then hung out there for another column or so -- it was a pretty great place. And eventually, CompuServe dropped the column.

So nice to read the article on Steve Roberts, and fill out a bit these memories. Perhaps somewhere out there, someone has also written a memoir about CompuServe in its pre-Internet 1980s glory?

I don't think "zero editorial oversight in between the author drafting the post and it appearing on Forbes' website" is equivalent to "mainly a blogging/self-publishing tool like Medium", given the large amount of editorial oversight evidently involved at other stages of the process. And, though I agree that Forbes's cachet is more of a motivation than contributor fees, "The author, Brad Templeton, is not employed or paid by Forbes" is evidently a flat-out lie.
I can testify to nocebo effect.

Psychiatrists cannot/will not tell patients what primary effects we can expect from a given medication: "it works differently for everyone" "brain chemistry is unique" "it'll keep you out of the hospital" etc.

The truth is that most psychotropic medications tend to induce altered states of consciousness, and yes, they can be different for different people, but these altered states are not published, touted, explained, or offered to patients or consumers of the medications. Only the adverse side effects are discussed (and if only we had a nickel for every time a prescriber told us "this has no/fewer side effects!")

Therefore, we have not been informed of any primary effect for these drugs, and thus they can have no placebo effect. We do not "know" how we are "supposed to feel" while taking them. Since many have had psychiatric symptoms since childhood, we don't know any other mood or state of mind. How can we know if these effects have receded? Brain scan? Checklist?

So we can't have a placebo effect. If we are well-informed of the side effects, we may notice some. We complain about side effects and the psychiatrist does a switcheroo and produces a second, third, fifth, tenth medication cocktail. "Just some adjustment until the benefits outweigh the risks." And they do this slowly, judiciously, one at a time, unless you land in the hospital.

Psychotropic prescription drugs that are not Scheduled are weaksauce. And they're the only ones that can be prescribed to the poor and the needy and the homeless. Unless they're in the hospital. Therefore, you crank them up one at a time until the side effects are only mildly annoying, then you keep adding more drugs as the patient complains about symptoms. Without knowing any placebo effect.

Perhaps this is one reason why psychedelic drugs are highly touted by some now. There has been much study done by recreational users of drugs. They all know how LSD will make you feel! They know how you can get on mescaline before/while you puke! So perhaps that's the answer: that formerly recreational drugs can come find a home with placebo, and primary, effects intact.

People keep dogs around because we have evolutionary instincts that find them cute, and we also have an evolutionary need for companionship, neither of which really applies to an AI. We also need biological food, which means we keep plants and animals around in general. And still, there have been plenty of cases where we wanted something, like oil, and we got it by killing all the whales. We wanted land for farming, and destroyed many, many entire species by cutting down forests. We keep cattle around just to eat them, and once we get artificial meat right, probably the number of cattle is going to drop drastically.

This is humans doing this, and we're not even that smart, or that relentless. We get tired, we get "good enough" and stop, but we don't know how to build an AI that just tries to do the simple thing and stops. I mean, there's even the known problem that an AI who only tries for good enough will itself likely end up designing an AI that tries really hard. Look at us--it's what we're doing!

Can you imagine humanity, but 100% focused on maximizing profit, with everyone working around the clock to produce, produce, produce? Can you imagine trying to write laws to cover every possible externality, every possible way that people might pollute the environment, consume too much natural resources, or screw up the things that capitalism doesn't cover?

The fear with AGI is that the lessons we learn trying to align lesser AIs (which we are not even close to being able to do) will not generalize to higher levels of intelligence, which are coming very quickly. Alignment is a very hard problem, like putting a lander on the moon, and right now we're at the stage where the people working on these AIs are trying to launch rockets and figure out the equations for trajectory while it's on its way. "We'll try to have the first AIs we build align the later ones" is an actual thing that people think is a legitimate strategy. And I agree with Eliezer Yudkowsky -- it would be fine if each mis-aligned superintelligent AI we build would only kill a couple million people like a nuclear bomb, instead of being deadly.

Even folks like Paul Christiano who are more optimistic, but take alignment seriously, are not very optimistic: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/AyNHoTWWAJ5eb99ji/another-ou...

I'm gonna be honest -- I tried learning more about what actual people who work in AI alignment think about this issue, hoping that I could find something to reassure myself, but I can't find anything that makes me think we have much of a chance. There's nothing special about humanity -- it's entirely possible that most of our paths into the future involve extinction. Maybe all paths do, eventually, but on the hope that there's some sort of future that isn't a paperclip universe, I'm pushing really hard to make sure everyone understands what we're in for. I may be wrong -- I really hope I am. If not, I'm sorry.
Midjourney provides much better images by default. It's really impressive.

Stable Diffusion's advantage is in the huge amount of open source activity around it. Most recently that resulted in ControlNet, which is far more powerful than anything Midjourney can currently do - if you know how to use it.

Having unexplained assets is not a crime and won't be at least in the US because of the constitution, worst case they could be subject to civil forfeiture. Assuming you did everything else right (full disk encryption, Tor on public wifi/LTE router that you alternate routinely, not using Google, etc) the anonymity of Monero means the government would have a very difficult time tying whatever you bought with the Monero to your actual criminal activity. Of course if you are involved in meatspace crime like drugs then maybe if you use these services they put you under surveillance and eventually find you with drugs in the trunk of your car.

If it's an accident? An apology, maybe.

If it damages something or someone? If relations between the two countries are not completely wretched, usually a bunch of arguing, and small reparations [1][2].

If they are completely wretched, or there's some other concern at play, usually nothing [3]. The victim country is free to apply whatever sanctions it sees fit.

These sorts of questions are not settled in a framework of legality, as much as they are settled in a framework of power, and willingness to escalate. Escalating against a nuclear sovereign is often a bad idea.

When I was in my early teens, I ended up going on a month long hitchhiking trip that finished by going from Santa Barbara to Eugene. At the time (late 80s) I thought of California as a kind of harsh, materialistic, bourgeouis place and Oregon as more tolerant and enlightened. Heading up I-5 we had no trouble getting rides. Stick your thumb out and someone is stopping in five minutes. That happened right up to the Oregon border and then it stopped cold. We spent two nights sleeping at a rest stop until we got a ride north with some Mexican guys in a pickup. Moral of the story is your mileage may vary, I guess.
1. I didn't say that there are no ill effects from deflation, just that they're overblown. There are also bad effects from inflation.

2. Most/all of the benefit of inflation to consumers is captured by lenders in the form of higher interest rates - there's a reason why so many rates are quoted as "prime + x".

3. Addressing your japan/great depression examples:

I get that the transition from an inflationary economy to a deflationary one can be horrendous for consumers. Sure. But that doesn't say anything about how consumers would fare under a steady state deflationary economy.
Truly free, as in no limitation. I would include doxing, slander, and defamation to fall under "truly free speech", yes.

> Tech companies are just riding the wave to get rid of low performers and troublemakers while they can

It is just an anecdote, a single data point, but in the company I work for, the criteria seemed to be cutting first the folks hired more recently.

In my team itself the newest guy was cut and it was a shock to me, because he was really, really good and there were some obvious low performers that have survived so far, apparently just because they have been here for a long time.

I knew of one or another case of a couple notorious low performers being laid off in other teams, but this was the exception rather than the rule: Probably those guys were already on their way to the guillotine on their PIPs and the layoffs just coincided in time with this.

Here is the answer. Every system has some percentage of misses, especially during mass attacks.

Iron Dome is not really relevant, I think, it's designed against small, short-range, mortar-like projectiles. For ballistic rockets or cruise missiles you need systems like Patriot, right.
