But the Surface label is not sold worldwide. Here in Brazil no surface accessories they are sold, because... no surfaces are sold.
I can imagine a situation where someone creates a walled garden that people will willingly pay to be part of. Costs money, involves actual proof of identity (but you could still be broadly anonymous within the garden), with the value proposition being an elimination of all advertising. Web ads, spam, all of it.

There is probably some critical mass where this would work. Some people would pay to be able to just not have to do combat with the whole world simply to enjoy the Internet.
For me, it's really a case of it being ruined because someone told me an AI wrote it.

The content may be entertaining, emotional, and compelling. But I just won't view it the same way, because I am not in communion with an AI the same way I would be with a conscious, mindful human. There's no space for meaning because half of the author-reader relationship is missing.

A cynical mind would suggest I am seeking not the communion itself, but the rewards such a communion provides and they're probably right. If you lie and claim a human wrote it (and it is otherwise indistinguishable from human work), I will probably appreciate the work the same way I would a human-written work.

If AI were a conscious being, I don't think I'd mind that they aren't human, the same way I wouldn't mind reading the work of a space alien. There would still be a mind on the other end. But until and if that ever happens, if I know about it, I don't think it'll ever be the same for me.

Also, all these "market cap" numbers are made up. These are heavily manipulated markets. There are about 100k users, and almost no buyers -- this stuff is trivial to bring down.

The human struggle with authority or tradition is a part of the Hebrew Bible and Jewish scholarship itself. Off the top of my head, 'Israel' was the name given to Jacob after he wrestled with God. The Book of Job was a reaction to realization that good/evil did not necessarily correlated with prosperity/failure. These are things that the faithful openly talk about.
We had some carpet at my old workplace that would always charge you up and get you zapped. Whenever you touched anything metal. So the old and wise folks there immediately told you to grab your key when you get up and then use it to touch something metal, so the spark is between your key and the metal object and you don't feel anything.
More than getting rid of your car and walking & biking & taking transit? I highly doubt it.

The average American eats 57 pounds of beef and 51 pounds of pork. A single hog yields about 150 pounds of pork.

The average person isn't even eating one pig per year.

No way all the space your car takes up, all the resources that go into it, all the infrastructure that needs maintained, and all the oil you're burning is worse for the environment than 2/3rds of one pig...

Do you think these two people are representative of the uneducated population?

I'm not suggesting that if you don't have an education then you can't be smart and competent. I'm suggesting that such people are a minority. So having an education is a useful signal, if not fullproof.
Is it better for you to be bankrupt than inhumane, or is that just the case for Elon Musk?

I can give you the donation links for a bunch of reputable organizations that try and deal with child hunger

Will you give every last penny you have to them?

Not donating would be inhumane.

It's better to be bankrupt than inhumane, right?
We're definitely not just meat robots. We agonize over what we are and what we're supposed to do with our lives. Meat robots don't do that, and I suspect hardly any animals do either.

Art is a way in which we grapple with such questions. I am yet to see a surprising contriubtion by an AI.
Without comment on the merits, this is how you kill public consensus on climate issues before you even start. If I were a McKinsey consultant for Shell or Exxon right now, I'd be advising them to bet everything on "climate concern is for vegans".

The only way to solve major political problems is to build consensus; not create contentious divisions that kill your own "side".
They desperately fundraising.... so need to get into the news cycle again
>Just listen to your intuition.

My intuition tells me that humans evolved as omnivores, and eating a vegan diet causes health problems because of nutrient deficiency. Unless you heavily supplement, which sort of defeats the purpose of "reducing your carbon footprint by not eating meat".

Pixelmator Photo gets AI-powered selective adjustments and new name: Photomator

on the other hand, I'd be curious how much worse a procedural way to do frame by frame analysis would be
“Waterloo is like saying you went to Harvard Law”
This exactly. Sadly the idea went through a low pass filter and just became a way to pass around dumb data objects.
I think paper straws are a more effective way to save the planet.
Nobody dare talk about the oil companies.

Why don't we switch to hemp instead of plastic to begin with?
Yup, though I was also nowhere close. It may have been conducted EMI.
True "prompt engineering" is not a thing. its just a misuse of the word engineering by some tech bros.
I'm embarrassed for that one.
I was skeptical, but this is compelling, if true:

“If everyone stopped eating these foods, they found that global farmland use could be reduced by 75 per cent, an area equivalent to the size of the US, China, Australia and the EU combined.

Not only would this result in a significant drop in greenhouse gas emissions, it would also free up wild land lost to agriculture, one of the primary causes for mass wildlife extinction.”
Software engineering is a type of engineering, but very few programmers actually do or even understand software engineering. Believe me, I know: I have hired and fired a lot of them.
I agree with everything you said except there has been a war on heating oil since before this tiff with natural gas. So even suggesting that is anathema because it would be career suicide for the politicians pushing this. You can certainly use an oil furnace as a second stage, though oil is more often used as a boiler for steam or hydronic.
lacto-ovo vegetarianism .. no need for extremes. So many foods in modern times have added vitamins (check the label). A non-meat diet these days is not at all the same as it was, long ago
That's not true. I worked for a big tech company with a large European presence and they 100% heavily factored in the prestige of what university you went into for hiring. Also, they do this with career fairs/college hiring - they aren't sending college recruiters to a community college, they're sending them to MIT, Oxford, Stanford, Yale, Harvey Mudd, etc.
So what was the last dog-authored book you liked? /s

Most people can distinguish good writing from that which is merely serviceable, but un-engaging. Reading the latter is like a slow death if its in book form or attempting to be literary fiction.

For news articles and other stuff that's being automated, it's replacing what is already a heavily templated process. The writing there is fine. It's not what I'd call interesting though. That's the difference an actual writer can make.
> Cars are an inherently space-inefficient transport

It is time efficient and convenient though.

> We have to start to realize that the failures of car infrastructure result in less jobs, less leisure time, less living.

How come? Having a car, I can reach tons of places in ~40km radius, without planning ahead too much, in any season. I would have to chop significant portion of my life if I were not able to drive anymore.
Just one side of the coin. On the other almost all legitimate knowledge work is going to have a whole mass of previously onerous requirements rendered trivial.
Compare Canada to Vermont, NH, Wisconsin, Montana and Idaho and see if your difference still holds. USA is a big place, with very different cultures and outcomes. Once you compare Canada to states that are culturally like Canada, your university hypothesis doesn't look to be correct.

Artificial Intelligence Blamed for 500 Job Cuts at Dropbox
Probably not, but my bigger point is that all those comments about permaculture typically completely ignore practicalities of large scale agriculture that are absolutely crucial to human flourishing.

Gardening is my hobby, and over the years I found a lot of practices that improve my yield tremendously without depending on chemical pesticides or artificial fertilizers. However, I would not dare suggesting to the professional farmers that they should follow my steps. These practices work in my garden, but they simply aren’t practical if you need to feed the entire world.
It strange how the time of day so drastically effects the votes on these comments. They are positive when it aligns with the global east, but then swings negative once the time of day reaches the global west, like clock work :)
> The comment you replied to above [0] was asking for clarification about what the parent commenter intended with the use of the word.

Yes, and I was explicitly explaining my interpretation of what he meant. I didn't think I'd have to analyze this, but sure, here we go. The parent of the comment you linked wrote:

> At the rate the politics in rural America are being strangled by fascism, cities may have an imperative to deprive them of their subsidized agriculture. Especially if fuel costs continue to rise against electric generators.

They are saying that fascism is strangling rural America. This will both refer to fully rural areas, but also rural states (overwhelmingly red). He's proposing that the cities should deprive them of their subsidized agriculture, referring both to cities themselves, but also the states that are mostly influenced by cities (blue states).

This means that one answer to his question (what is meant by fascism strangling rural America) is the same as "what fascist actions are republicans taking in rural America", which I described in my comment.

Any further questions?

There are legitimate grievances across the vast array of features Salesforce offers but if you find yourself blaming your tools you might be a poor craftsperson - or at least your organization is. And thats a hard truth many won't face and fewer would openly acknowledge.
More than depopulation?

I don't particularly like the ideology that underpins it, but I don't see how veganism is going to outclass that one in terms of environmental impact. I'm getting a familiar whiff of "results were decided ahead of time".
I’m curious why you would think people in the first picture are going to/from work but not in the second.
We Beat Amazon Basics in Rank – – – Then Our Product Disappeared
There is no rule of law when people are poor.
Very cool. This is exactly what I miss about old time TV; being able to catch a show by chance. I find it interesting that most of the time there's so much choice that I can't get the energy to pick one and stick with it. For a while there, I had 4 streaming services and never watched any of them. I just wasted my money.
This is a very fair point. While it should be messaged as a major change that can be made it also has to be in the context of not the ONLY change to be made.
They don’t really have plans. (This is part of the problem.) My plan is to ask them to get jobs & take some increased responsibility for their own needs & wants after high school. I’m pretty willing to support them if they have _some_ kind of plan (start a company? Volunteer somewhere? Sure.)

You never know, they might apply to college in a year (or later), but they’ll still live with choices like not taking any advanced/honors or elective classes in high school—and just generally not applying themselves while they were there. COVID certainly did them no favors, but at some point that’s not a very good excuse anymore.
The charitable take would be that he’s an exceptionally compartmentalised thinker who is stuck in a bunch of local maxima.

Less charitably, perhaps his ideals are pretty flexible (assuming they exist at all) and within some bounds he’ll say whatever he thinks people want to hear and do whatever he thinks serves him best.

Perhaps a combination of both.
"Could make for an interesting movie plot."

One that probably leads very quickly to WW3, as the protagonists will find out, that most of the scammers are in countries not on friendly terms with the west (and therefore they tolerate cybercrime against the west).

There are also plenty of scammer operating from the west, though, so that anti spam foundation would not run out of work even if they just limit their activities to the west.
If you're ever interested in publishing anything about this to aid others in recreating it, I'm sure there'd be ample interest (for better or worse). Professional controllers are hilariously expensive for many hobbyists and the options for DIY control surfaces tend to be limited (especially with motorized faders).

I'd certainly be interested in reading about how it works, even without anything approaching build documentation.
I've been doing every-other-day-vegan for over a year. It was a good compromise for me, as a once meat obsessed person. It's actually a great system, I never eat the same thing two days in a row!
My point was more that these growth mediums don’t result in harmful bacteria like salmonella.

Also, Beer is more about eating the byproduct used by these cells to minimize competition. Cheeses have more variety with some using use aromatic molds or bacterial enzymes, but others just use Rennet.
I'm not sure I see your point here. You are saying that because the writer signed up to a paid blogging service, and paid for their own domain, their opinion on how AI may replace humans is not valid?

A blogging service provides utility. It enables this writer to publish their content, and they've obviously decided that the paid service is better than alternatives. They are expressing concern that AI will replace people current paid to create things, because it's cheaper and will make people more money. The two situations seem completely different to me, I'm not sure I understand your comparison.
If the videos that Louis Rossmann makes discussing New York's government mirror others' experiences, you are probably right.
The purpose of CAPTCHA is supposedly to test if human or a bot, not to break or violate user privacy protections. It appears Cloudflare and others rather push the dangling of websites as "carrots", and see if they can get users to disable their ad blockers or any other privacy protections to get access.

The Cloudflare verification has become a sick or sadistic joke now. It's often just used to annoy people, and no matter if they pass the tests, denies access anyway. If the test is not going to determine access, then don't provide it, and just wholesale be up front on mindlessly or frivolously blocking people and entire IP ranges.
By that rationale any policy decision that preserves bank deposits is printing money. Which is a cogent argument but not a mainstream one.
I think you are massively over-estimating the reaches of your imagination. The whole point of good art is to expose us to things we didn't conceive of. If your world and your reality is a horse-drawn buggy, no amount of AI prompting is going to turn that into a car.
It seems like a calculator. Starting out learning how to actually compute answers is useful, but after grade school its just a waste of time. After the calculator genie was let out of the bag, the "computers" job (the job description that some people used to have) was deprecated.
Brain facilities that were previously evolved to gain a darwinian competitive edge through strategic intelligence can now be utilized to break the mold of natural selection.

There was no direct selection pressure that coordinated the development of your ability to understand evolutionary psychology. Evolutionary psychology is a side effect of intelligence. Breaking past our darwinian purpose is a side effect of our meta understanding of evolutionary biology and intelligence. As someone else said we, to a limited extend, can make our own purpose.

i know the people involved in creating the report that caused the request. it's a group on federal universities (brazil has state owned universities) who monitored OPEN groups discussing politics to measure impact of known fake news on presidential election.

remember, they are mostly phds focused on publishing what they find. so everything is under ethics committee... they didn't even used data from groups that require a invite. only 100pct open groups. also they were not measuring complex fakenews metrics. only widely accepted ones. flat earth level.

now i haven't seen the request, but i doubt it's the e2e stuff, if telegram even have that...
At this point I use Kerrygold every time I want to taste the butter. I sacrifice a pound to the garlic gods every few months, making clarified garlic butter which is amazing if you use garden garlic.

The remnant gets mixed with a quarter cup of butter and garlic bread is made. Now I’m hungry.
It depends.

In some cases, that can definitely be a problem. If I'm buying a product because 'X is hard and I don't want to have to think' then there are plenty of vendors that will sell me on an overcomplicated solution to X that induces so much parasitic draw on my system that it collapses, and I am enslaved to them because I have no idea how to cope without.

In other cases, I might very well know how to do X - but someone else already has a fantastic solution that I can just buy, trading a significant portion of my time for a relatively small amount of money.

Wisdom is knowing whether you're buying a bicycle - or a stationary bike.
Fasting is as good, it seems.

One thing that I'm skeptic on these articles is the numbers on how plants are grown is not clear. You don't have division between corn or soy vs hydroponic. Is quite concerning that the affirmation of changing diets and consumer behavior will be the only thing.

There is impact on growing plants with lack of healthier pollination, or simply not destroying the ground to avoid a huge amount of CO2 to the air, or even further assuming there is a zero impact of fertilizer on Greenhouse gases in general.
There's a name for this: loss aversion.

THIS -

> Lusardi thinks it’s part of a generational shift away from not just old pastimes like bingo, but from social commitments as well, including everything from bowling leagues to hobby clubs to parent-teacher associations to fraternal organizations.

> “The kids aren’t dedicated like they used to be,” Lusardi said. “Even when you got people joining organizations, they join just to have the cheaper drink prices. They don’t join to do the work. They don’t want to be committed to anything. They don’t seem to have the attention span and they don’t have the dedication. I don’t know where society lost that, but they have lost it.”

At times, it feels like Americans are systematically getting rid of every social group, every relationship, and every social commitment that they possibly can. When everyone under 75 is doomscrolling their smart phone while locked in their own little cell in the Matrix...there probably won't be a country or even a human society for much longer.

Or, maybe - "Blessed are the Amish, for they shall inherit the Earth."
> If that's your contingency plan, check that a safety valve doesn't close when power is lost.

And for good reason. Gas cookers require ventilation, to prevent carbon monoxide build up. An electric extractor fan won't work during a power cut.
Kind of a stupid headline. The article goes on to explain that generative AI is just allowing for a lesser number of people to do jobs that will still exist for the foreseeable future. So in other words, tech giants aren't making jobs go extinct - they are just cutting thousands of jobs.

I've owned/own folding kayaks. The problem is that they're really not all that quick to tear down or (especially) build up. IMO definitely not the sort of thing you want to do day-to-day. (The other issue is that these companies go out of business and it's hard to make significant repairs without parts.)
