The US Senate is noteworthy for permitting unlimited debate. IIRC, no other legislative body has this trait.

The filibuster was a hack which has since been weaponized. It should be eliminated. If only to rationalize and normalize the Senate.

The anti-majoritarian case for maintaining the filibuster presumes that tyranny of the minority is preferable to the tyranny of the majority. Often dressed up dressed up in doublespeak slogans like "states rights" (John C. Calhoun) and "entrepreneurial freedom" (James M. Buchanan, Peter Thiel).

That is not why I meant by collectivism. Deciding things collectively just means you have organs of government.

By collectivistic priorities I simply meant that given trade offs between individual and collective orders of priority, the collective takes priority, often at the expense of individual rights.

America has traditionally had classical liberal ideals of individualism, as laid out by Locke, Rousseau and Franklin chiefly, and later others. What we've seen in the last few decades is a stronger alignment with continental European mainstream thought and politics. Perhaps because cities and demographics have pushed things in that direction. But I think safetyism is also a strong component.

What's old is new again.

Remember when there was no "cloud" and just locally executing software with local persistence?

I want very much to return to that. There are a few use cases for me, personally, where SaaS / "the cloud" makes sense but for 99% of what I use a computer for, I want local only. I don't want my application to require an active Internet connection. I don't want it sending data to someone else's computer. Probably most importantly, I don't want the software that I pay for to change on me without my direct opt-in.

The fact that we have articles about offline-first, cloud is "optional" is hilarious when this was just normal every day software only a few short years ago. I can't stand how trend-happy our industry is. "The Cloud" and "SaaS" solved a few problems for a few people ... but we went all in as if there were no alternatives and those of us who don't require mobility and would prefer that we can choose when to "upgrade" and what data to "share" were left behind.

Rice is a very thirsty crop. Water is becoming scarce as the effects of global warming/climate change worsen the effects of natural weather events.

Not sure why we are surprised. We have been warned for decades yet governments around the world continue to let O&G industry to pollute the planet with no repercussions. Eating habits of rich countries have not changed much as meat is still heavily consumed.

The ultra rich continue to pollute with reckless abandon with super cars, private jets, yachts, and other GHG heavy activities.

The average US consumer is buying SUVs and trucks at alarming rates and for the most part are just hauling air or carrying 1-2 people in a single vehicle.

Public transportation and more efficient modes of transportation (walking, biking) are replaced by inefficient car centric transportation, parking lots, parking garages, street parking in most the US.

Can't wait for this to be locally-deployable and a resource-friendly commodity. I use paperless-ngx a lot, and its search alongside tags, document correspondent as well as document type are very powerful. I can dig up all sorts of facts and documents about my life across many years quickly. A tool like this would supercharge that. I imagine it'd be especially useful for synonyms? These are one of the bigger pain points when searching.
The most effective improvements are frequently a disjoint set relative to the most feasible ones.

Centrism focuses on feasibility, and on incrementalism. The possibility that We're Just Doing It Wrong isn't a part of that worldview, and so should it turn out that we are, in fact, doing it wrong, centrism will never address it.

Put differently, centrism is philosophically equivalent to a local minimum/maximum from which any significant change makes things worse than the status quo (and legitimately so). This metric fails to note that there are better minima/maxima that are reachable, but only if things get worse for (hopefully a short) period of time.
> The other outcome of this attitude of "make small games" is everyone just makes platformers.

I don't think so. Remember the heyday of Flash games, Kongregate (before it was spammed by MMO clones or whatnot)? Many short & sweet games that weren't platformers. Some were puzzle-solving games, some were adventure games, some were escape-the-room, some were shooters, and yes, some were platformers.

I have the fondest memories from that era. I still remember the short and thoughtful "The Majesty of Colors".

ChatGPT: Applications, Opportunities, and Threats
What do you mean by GPT4 didn’t bother responding. It has better ideas that this when I just asked it. This is generic af. Are you a Claude shill or something.
This happens to me with _any_ project if I don't:

- set a clear time boundary and a date, typically by estimating chunks of the work, it's better to make wrong estimations than to yak shave the crap out of something for way too long

- write down the goals and non-goals.

- make a clear, simple high-level design, including trade-offs and cutting corners to meet the goals

- implement vertically, get something going fast

Stuff like that...

Basically with an open ended, creative endeavor I absolutely need to restrict myself much as I can stomach. At least in cases where I actually _want_ to finish a project and know what its goals are. In many cases exploration and playing with code and techniques is the goal itself and that's OK.

I had a similar experience recently having GPT-4 teach me double entry bookkeeping for a project I am ramping up on. I understood it in a vague sense from some Google, but wouldn’t be able to talk to a room full of accountants in an intelligent way. I was feeling like I needed to read a book or take a class, but tried using GPT-4 as an interactive tutor instead.

After about an hour of delving into details, examples, history and analogies, I get it on a deep level that would have normally taken many days to develop. Most of the material I found before took an approach of “just memorize this” while I was able to get more parsimonious core concepts that were hidden behind 500 years of practice.
If the commenter can't open their existing Ableton files in Bitwig, and/or use the existing VSTs they've likely spent years with and collected or designed presets for, it makes somehow converting to an entirely new DAW far too daunting and complex a process for any serious producer.

I myself use Logic Pro, and have files from Logic and GarageBand from over - (holy crap I'm getting old) - 17 years ago, that still open and play in Logic - (minus the occasional missing plug-in) - and I've used Logic for so long at this point that there is literally almost no barrier between my imagination in terms of composition, engineering and production and the actual software and hardware.

To switch to a solution such as Bitwig not only removes access to the 17+ years of files I've got (who knows how many years of files the original commenter has) - it makes it so I can no longer, e.g. just send a Logic or Ableton file to a fellow producer - which I often do, and is often done; for collaborations - it removes access to the incredible library of software instruments included with Logic that I've slowly became a veritable genius with over more than a decade...

Ultimately, unless you pretty much started with Bitwig, or Ardour, etc - I couldn't ever see a seasoned producer who has settled into their closed-source DAW of choice ever seriously considering this.
I have a relative on the same boat. Someone in their genealogy tree is clearly lying and they wanted to get tested to discover their real origin (they have a strong suspicion they're Native American), but they don't want to give up privacy just for that.
Parent statement:

>> And we are back to gender essentialism, where moms are not empowered to provide structure making them dependent on father in work for it. And dad has a role of threat that comes home after being absent whole day just to punish you for mistakes during the day.

Response:

> Is having a dad and a mom so bad that you cannot accept those positive outcomes ( and I can easily grant there are bad ones as well )?

Statement:

<< This is beyond uncharitable interpretation and in the realm of "completely twisting what I said". Having both parents does not imply what you wrote at all.

Response:

Is it uncharitable though? I maintain it is a valid interpretation.

You explicitly said gender essentialism[1] explains why mothers can't seem to get the same results ( "they are not empowered enough" without actually explaining what would that entail I might add so you may want to expand on it a little ) and I simply followed that thread out of sheer curiosity of your frame of mind and responded with a clear counter which suggests that positive outcomes seem to be common to family units that are not, lets call them 'unstructured'.

<< "completely twisting what I said"

It is possible I am misreading you. What are you saying, exactly?

<< Having both parents does not imply what you wrote at all.

How so? It seems the few studies that were done support that notion[2]. Granted, it is not enough to simply have two parents. They need to be engaged, stable, have decent income so there are other factors at play, but I will boil it down to something really simple. Raising valuable members of society is hard work ; having kids is not that hard in abstract. It is doubly as hard for one person, because there is no one to share that burden with.

There is also some empirical data suggesting otherwise including amount of parents, who stay in otherwise 'bad' unions for the sake of the children suggesting rather instinctive understanding that it is not exactly a 'one man job'. Now, that is being countered by individualistic nature of US, but that is a separate conversation in itself.

In either case, you may want to expand on your thought process to convince me. Right now I don't really see an argument.

Interesting fact - there is a russian word for the feeling you are experiencing - when you feel bad because you understand that your opponent is having a point, you feel bad about it but instead of admitting it you are trying to be sarcastic - it is called "prigorayet" and is always associated with burning sensation just below your lower back.
I’d be worried about using ChatGPT for this given its tendency to hallucinate. Did you have to verify each response it gave you, or were you willing to trust the output?
>If you’re really a writer, all that matters is the end result and I can guarantee you that people who use ChatGPT thinking it will put words in a row will be able to generate a million stupid articles a day, but those people won’t be “writers.”

For a historical comparison, the same could be said of photography. You have to know instinctively what makes a great photograph if you're going to have a hope of making them on a regular basis, or for pay. The gear really doesn't matter much, it's just table stakes.

Having GPT spit out some new combinations of words can help you get around writers block, or expand your vocabulary, but I strongly agree it won't automatically make you a writer.

'Tis true with Incident Mgmt and some highly sensitive projects, too. Nothing SAP related at all, but gives the appearance to PMs and Ops leaderships that we're going extra hard on the issue.

And to be fair, it's useful for incident mgmt since you don't know what you'll find, and will often have lots of people up your ass; having supernumerary bodies means I can throw them at something if I find an artifact or concern, and it also gives me a distraction-shield: I communicate only to Senior Engineer X, and all inquiries from Mgmt and Customers go to X; I only have to update X instead of 10+ irritated users/owners.
It was really random - they were dailies, and just one set one day became really painful after a few hours outside. They were in a box I had kept but not opened for many months, but sealed obviously.

At first I thought it was "just" a migraine (but incredibly painful) so I didn't go to the doctor or really notice that much until over a month later.

It's only really noticeable if I close my other eye and try to read stuff that would be right in the centre of the eye. But the worst part is looking at bright white screens e.g. Google Docs background etc. is really disorienting.

It doesn't read weird at all. The CA incident had a ton of stories about it, that's brought in so the reader goes "oh, that stuff" and knows WTF the piece is about. It's the only case of this happening that more than a very, very small proportion of readers would be aware of.
I don't think that fairly represents Haidt's position at all.

Yes, there is an inconsistency in his writing regarding why social media specifically is something we should protect children from. But Haidt is not suggesting that a return to a corporal punishment regime, or anything like it, is desirable. His concerns are things like free play, independent movement, negative (not only positive) interactions and so on.

> That's why I say that TANSTAAFL is an axiom. It defines what we mean by "rational" and "value" more that it describes anything about reality

I understand what you mean, but we as a global society have made it true. In order to change it, we need to decide to do so as a society.

> So since I think it's time to move on from value as we know it anyway, the fact that AI might make the need for a shift more pressing doesn't bother me.

You aren't bothered by the fact that making this change in such a sudden way could very well lead to a significant increase in suffering and death of people?

That bothers me a great deal.

Also, although of lesser importance, you and I wouldn't be immune to that consequence either.

What I hear AI enthusiasts saying is that it's OK to remove what people depend on to survive without a replacement in hand immediately, because a replacement is coming at some nebulous point in the future once we figure out what it should be.

UHD discs have a bit rate of 72, 92, 123 or 144 Mbps

Core Pure Stream has a max bit rate of 80 Mbps. So yes indeed, it's comparable.

This is silly though: "To enjoy at the highest speed of 80 Mbps, you need an internet speed of 115 Mbps or faster. Ethernet (wired LAN) connections are limited to 100 Mbps due to the TV's product specifications. Therefore, to enjoy 80 Mbps with the Pure Stream™ functionality, you need to connect to a Wi-Fi router that supports IEEE 802.11 ac/n (wireless LAN)."

> editors have less time to evaluate submissions

If AI is increasing the flow of stories coming in, then shouldn't it also increase the rate of categorizing and rating stories by human editors?

In my experience this is completely wrong. In my experience, the more work you do, you're awarded with more work. Companies require you to continuously grow, and chase for promotion. If you're better, then you need to grow better too. If you're average, but cut the minimum, then you're asked to grow averagely too. In my experience, there is such a thing as being too good at your job such that your employer keeps asking exponentially more and more from you.

Note that in your example, it's not the athletes that are being toxic (usually), it's the spectators.

It's common for sports fans to say things like, "we're playing Los Angeles next week" or "we picked up so-and-so in the draft" when there's really no "we" about it. The speaker is not involved in the action in any way other than as one observing it. But using that language makes them feel included in something bigger. And sometimes the brain starts to believe you really ARE part of that bigger thing, and you start taking actions to reinforce that belief.

(And I want it noted that I'm very much including myself in this assessment. This is not some "nerds > jocks" kind of thing. As an American football fan myself, I've made a conscious effort to stop saying "we" specifically because this has started to bother me.)

So no, participating in sports isn't unhealthy. Succumbing to the delusion of participation as a spectator, that's what becomes unhealthy.

As far a common sense goes; social comparison and depression have already very well known links, and social media is purely social comparisons, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to think social media might have an effect on depression incidence or severity.
