Continuing to say JS when you're really talking about what is, again, still in the land of HTML, CSS, etc just confuses things. Viz:

It's really, really not about JS. You don't make a browser that's compatible with the Wild Wild Web by adding stuff to the JS engine. You do it by implementing moar browser.

So the opportunity cost in your example is the quality of life that you end up losing by having a child? The missing time that (with our higher quality of life) is way better?

I don’t have any studies to disprove that, so I can’t argue against it.

But then wouldn’t making jobs higher paying and life better make the issue worse? Now kids mean you give up an even better life.
I’m well aware of that. I didn’t make it explicit (as I thought it logically followed) that one would execute the local copy after review.

I don't know man. I am employed but I still get 64 recruiting emails a day. Seems like business as usual. FWIW I have never had luck with applications. The last time I was unemployed I sent out 10 or 15 and heard nothing. I reached out to a recruiter and was drowning in interviews within a week.

As for the other side, I do hiring on my team. We posted a Senior SRE on linkedin and got 30 applicants within a week. That was not our experience 2 months ago(more like 5). Maybe something has changed. I don't know I don't pay too much attention.

I actually think it’s worst. One can be a problem of anger issues where, for a time, someone lost it and someone got punched in the face, the other is a long term thought calculated full aware of consequences and with no care for the other. It also usually results in several persons being impacted.

For instance Bayer knowing that their products were contaminated with HIV still chose to sell them. Monsanto with well all their stuff. Corporate crime is really crazier in my opinions. It’s armies of lawyers and businesses men, engineers and stuff having no problem for harm. It’s just less direct than a punch on the face.

Disclaimer: violence is still bad to horrible nonetheless.

Cerby does this. I'm not them, but I know one of the guys there.
"In past texts and emails, Musk has described his goal for a “blockchain social media system that does both payments and short text messages/links like Twitter.” Users would have to pay to register a message on the blockchain. This would also include a massive database for all messages sent to the blockchain, and a 'Twitter-like app' to access that cloud-based database." (from related article: https://gizmodo.com/twitter-x-elon-musk-wechat-everything-ap...)

So it's the 'en-shitification' of Twitter:

Twitter + blockchain + payments = X

where X is pay to use X and Elon makes tons of money from X.

"willy nilly"??
ChatGPT is a deep neural network. We know that such neural networks construct a hierarchical model of the data. The fact that it is recognizing abstract "meaning" relations in that model doesn't seem particularly controversial to me. We build deep neural networks specifically for pattern recognition. It is similar to a brain in some aspects but obviously not the same.

I asked GPT-4: "Does the neural network in GPT-4 build a hierarchical model of the data? Does it derive metaphorical "meaning" from the symbolic data?"

Answer:

As a transformer-based neural network, GPT-4 does build a hierarchical model of the data to some extent. Although the hierarchy in transformer models like GPT-4 is not as explicitly structured as it is in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) used for image processing, the model does learn to encode complex patterns and relationships in the input text data through its multiple layers and self-attention mechanism.

The transformer architecture, which GPT-4 is based on, is designed to capture long-range dependencies and relationships in the input data. The self-attention mechanism allows the model to weigh the importance of different parts of the input in relation to each other, which helps it learn and capture semantic and syntactic structures in the data.

Regarding deriving metaphorical "meaning" from symbolic data, GPT-4 can identify and understand metaphors, idiomatic expressions, and abstract concepts to some extent, as it has been trained on a diverse range of text data. However, it is crucial to note that GPT-4 does not "understand" meaning in the same way humans do. It is exceptionally good at identifying patterns and generating text that resembles human-like understanding, but its "understanding" of meaning is more akin to a sophisticated pattern-matching process rather than true comprehension.

In summary, GPT-4 does build a hierarchical model of data to some extent and can generate text that exhibits an understanding of metaphorical meaning. However, this understanding is based on the model's ability to recognize and generate patterns in the data rather than genuine comprehension of the underlying meaning.

If you're familiar with the post you're responding to, you know that I didn't disagree with that. How many times are you going to continue accusing me of this straw man argument? I've already told you that's not what I'm disagreeing with.

You go on to quote a bunch of support for my assertion that shelters aren't homes. People herded into warehouses like cattle and forced into close proximity with no privacy get into fights? Why is that surprising to anyone?

> > And you'll note, I'm not actually saying we put them in apartments right next to pre-existing tenants.

> That's the way it is being implemented cities trying the "housing first" approach, though, and with predictable results (long time residents having to move as there's a sharp increase in crime and violence in the building).

There are a bunch of reasons why that's happening: among them a refusal to re-purpose office and retail spaces which would be farther from existing residential areas, and intentional poor implementations of these programs by political interests so they can say they don't work.

Failures of a poor implementation vaguely related to what I'm actually suggesting, aren't actually criticisms of my suggestion.

This is untrue.

Ice is about 91% the density of water. If you have water at 0 height, and you put in water equivalent to +1 unit of height. If it's in liquid form, obviously height goes up by +1. If it's in ice form, there is +1.09 height worth of ice (because it expands when it freezes), but it only displaces water up to +1 unit of height in order to support its weight through buoyancy. The overall change in height is +1 unit regardless of whether it's liquid or ice

That's not what I'm saying either. Crypto is just mundane property (like jeans), and property already has plenty of legislation around it. Existing laws work just fine. For example, capital gains applies equally as much to jeans as crypto (if for some reason your jeans appreciated 100x in value and you sold them).

The original comment I replied to claimed crypto should be entirely free of the justice system - THAT would actually be a new legal classification. Afaik the government has never before exempted any kind of property from theft laws. I only posted to point out that inconsistency.

This merits the consideration of jail time. Nobody said automatic jail for all violence—the facts and circumstances may merit mandated therapy, for instance. But if someone refuses and keeps popping off punches, yes, the isolation prerogative of jail time takes hold.

> These days, maybe we should call them GNU/systemd/Linux systems :-(

Quite. Is xorg GNU? xfce? Firefox? vim? gnumeric? (just looking at things on my desktop at the moment). Looking at pstree nothing particularly screams GNU. A few utilities like set and tar, but only 123 of the 3715 packages "dpkg -l" shows are GNU.

Historically certainly GNU was a key part of the typical machine, and the GPL is a brilliant license (although has clearly been hacked by SAAS companies hence requirements for things like AGPL) and the FSF is certainly a key part of the history of how we got here from there.

But to pretend that GNU is a particularly significant part of the typical linux machine (presumably because of the presence of libc), compared with half a dozen other organisations, is not particularly honest in my view.

Our prevailing theory of quantum mechanics is QFT which suggests that there aren’t actually any individual particles, but fields that experience excitations which act like individual particles. If we find that gravity is also just a field and gravitons are excitations within the field, who’s to say that perhaps every excitation in that field is entangled in some sort, and to create a traversable wormhole to the other end of the galaxy, we only need to impact the gravitons around us?
