"Sitting on cash removes it from the economy, and deflation encourages people to spend money tomorrow rather than today. "

Since most people are in debt, this really says: encourage people to borrow to buy what they cannot afford today and then hope for inflation to make that borrowing less onerous.

Maybe you don't want to place that solely on the shoulders of the network admin. These days most network data is encrypted, so the network admin cannot do much.

So either the host must be trusted to conform to policy. In which case it up to the host admin to avoid bad setups, or the host should have no (direct) access to the internet.
I think the parent comment is suggesting you can't move to such an area and say you're supporting your LGBT child, that it would be in bad faith to tell them you support them having made the choice to move there.

Or in other words, perhaps they'd like to say they support their child, but it'd be disingenuous.

"For reclusive or socially anxious individuals it may even be the majority of interaction"

This is definitely true. But we ought to also consider the risk that tech is creating socially anxious individuals. Some of those kids, if they interacted more in-person and spent less time alone, would eventually find like-minded friends to hang out with.

It really says a lot about the future of editing. Everyone doing it on their phones is growing up showing us what editing packages are going to look like… and it’s something like this. Big screen, touch interface, more fluid work flow, definitely going to be ai assisted… it’s interesting timing.

I feel like Apple is going to do the magic they did for spell checking with the iPhone keyboard for professional video editing. Might take them a while but this fcp finally evolving to the iPad feels like the bellwhether.

Anyone else see the trend? 3-4 generations down the line probably. But do you see it?

Or your question?
I first learned about Permaculture from reading my parent's copy of "The Next Whole Earth Catalog", which reviewed Mollison's "Permaculture: A Designers' Manual" (which, BTW is one of the greatest books on design that I've ever read, not just for farms!)

So, to me, it's mixed up with things like Christopher Alexander's "Pattern Language", and Bucky Fuller's synergistic "Dymaxion" worldview.

Basically, in a nutshell, there is a possible (technically and economically feasible) world that's much nicer than ours, just on the other side of an imaginary barrier that exists only in the human mind. Or so I believe...

We can provide for ourselves the lower levels of Maslow's Hierarchy, "Physiological needs" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs ) in a way that is fun, easy, harmonious with other living things, deprives no one, etc. "and nobody has to get nailed to anything". I don't know if this is true, but I don't see any physical reasons why it wouldn't work. (Everybody always says "but what about human nature" at this point, and I'll get to that in a moment.)

I have finally, at long last, acquired some land with the express purpose of testing out this hypothesis. (Twenty acres in N. California.) I'm going to employ a mix of Permaculture, Syntropic Agriculture, Alexander's Pattern Language, Bucky's ideas, etc. and robots and automation to create a kind of bubble of this alternate reality, or a time-warp (just a little one) to the Star Trek-style future.

Assuming this works out, the idea then is to facilitate more people and land living this way. I see this as a kind of economic phase change that has to happen (I believe we have to live in harmony with Nature or our civilization could collapse.)

In re: the "but what about human nature?" argument against the possibility of a better world:

First, as I get older I get much less sympathy for that in general. Get over your bullshit and act like a decent human being. It's not that hard and the rewards are worth the effort.

Second, I suspect that's what's really going on here: this is a sim, and the win condition is just not to be quite such a shithead. Good Character is the only thing you take with you when the game ends, so build it up now while you can!

Third, even though they don't get a lot of fanfare in the mass media, there are numerous protocols and techniques for better communication and mental and emotional healing. Things like Non-Violent Communication, or the Core Transformation Process. I have high hopes that the new talking computers will make inexpensive, inexhaustible perfect therapists. I think the computers will talk us down off the ledge, so to speak.
In principle it is right that it makes sense to use animals to get the optimal amount of calories out of marginal land that can't be used to directly grow edible plants. The current state of agriculture is very far removed from that optimum though.
I said I live in a "cool" area, not midtown Manhattan. I don't live in Manhattan at all, although I did for over 20 years.

Looking at 1BR rentals in Bushwick and Ridgewood (not my areas, but similarly considered "cool"), the average is between $1800 and $2500. Studios average $1400 and $2100.

I've been in nice cars with these features, and I'm happy I don't have most of these. Adaptive cruise control brakes are too late and hard for me to trust, lane assist is nice on straights but is annoying when it bounces between the sides of the lane, and automatic high-beams are infuriating with the constant on & off.
I don't follow. Neuroscience imaging tools like fMRI are only used because it is impossible to measure the activations of each neuron in a brain in real time (unlike an artificial neural network). This research paper's attempt to understand the role of individual neurons or neuron clusters within a complete network gets much closer to "first principles" than fMRI.
I'll grant that this example is more compelling than any others provided. The fact that they needed to redefine "species" to find the first example of speciation in the wild is certainly a weak point.

What's interesting with this example is that the changes come from hybridization, not the typically stated evolution mechanism of "tiny random little changes that somehow overtime make brains". Accordingly, this provides no "origin of life" answers, as the life was only able to develop from hybridizing existing life.

> because flash memory loses data over time if it's powered-off.

That's a red herring; the magnitude of this effect is usually greatly exaggerated, and in reality never comes close to being as important as the fact that flash memory is simply too expensive to use for cold storage.

And of course, the very idea of cold storage is dangerous: if you really want to ensure your data lasts for decades, you should be verifying your backups at least annually and making plans to migrate your data off any media that is obsolete and at risk of becoming hard to read using commodity hardware. This also entirely eliminates the above flash memory data retention concerns.

This particular bill would only apply to properties near a transit stop. The Feds already provide considerable financial support to local transit operators, and could simply cut off support to localities that do not support TOD policies.
Medicaid expansion under the ACA isn't "free" for state budgets. The Federal government only puts in part of the funding. So by forgoing expansion the state politicians can keep taxes low or continue funding other priorities. Some politicians also have ideological objections to expanding government control over the healthcare system.

(I am not endorsing these policies, just explaining some of the reasoning behind them.)
> Personal politics, IMO, is not a good reason to avoid living in certain areas.

Of course it is. Imagine your daughter getting pregnant and being unable to abort the pregnancy even if her survival would be at stake, or your son ending up gay or trans? Both of these not-unlikely events can have real, deadly impact depending if you are living in a red vs purple or blue state!

> but my take on it is, if I can't make friends with people who hold beliefs different from my own, then maybe I'm the asshole.

These people may simply beat you or your children up for not conforming to their narrow worldview. Hate crimes have exploded since 2016, and on top of that comes the everyday gun violence.

Beliefs are one thing - I'm a socialist and still enjoy debating with libertarians. But some things - like the right to self-determination about your body, reproduction and sexuality or the freedom to believe in anything else (or nothing) but Jesus - these are existential questions, and I cannot (and do not) reasonably engage in discussion with someone who 'd like to see me or my friends and family dead.
I’m most surprised by the approach they take of passing GPT tuples of (token, importance) and having the model reliably figure out the patterns.

Nothing would suggest this should work in practice, yet it just… does. In more or less zero shot. With a completely different underlying model. That’s fascinating.
There have been many vit D studies before, e.g., this one with 25K participants in the USA, which found no effect: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1809944

Can’t wait to see the patent system break under AI. It’s time for patents to go away or at least lower the timeframes of protection so we don’t stifle the innovation waves that are inevitably coming.

Whole areas will be off limits and dominated by a few companies — the patent system is a system for the olden times.

The patent system unfairly enforced incumbent advantage and needs to be reformed.
Sure, but isn't this the kind of thing we expect the government or "FDA" to monitor regularly? It's peanuts for them to regularly have each company that sells more than X million dollars per year to send them a representative sample of their products for testing.

I went to a small Montessori school on the Rio Grande while I was growing up, and among the other "new age"-y things going on at the school, we would spend half a day every week in permaculture class. We spent that class doing things like gardening, constructing adobe stuff like ovens and a gathering space shaped like a turtle (the head formed a pizza oven too - it was really cool), collecting eggs from a chicken coop, recycling fibers and scrap paper into (very brittle) paper, and making tea out of the herbs we grew - mint, chamomile, lavender, etc.

One of the most profound memories I have from that school is of Ms. Susan teaching us to say "thank you" to the plants when we took a few of their leaves for the tea. We'd look at the plant, find some good leaves, pluck 'em off, and then say "thank you" and move to the next one. It was kind of an intimate moment to share with a mint plant haha. It was probably also very cute for the teachers to watch a flock of kids roam around a garden and stare intently at some herbs for an hour.

It was the kind of thing that really sinks in when you're a kid. I didn't know it wasn't a "normal" kind of education, and I just figured, "we take our time and say thank you to the plants when take something from them" was a general rule of life that the adults follow too. I really cherish those memories now! Sometimes I thought they were boring af at the time - learning about compositing toilets isn't really priority #1 for a 9 year-old - but I hope other kids growing up are taught a similar connection to nature today. We've gotta say thank you to the plants!
For people overwhelmed by all the AI science speak, just spend a few minutes with bing or phind and it will explain everything surprisingly well.

Saxophone player of adequate standard here ... yeah the gear shouldn't matter and you can get good stuff out of garbage with the right pre-existing skills and attitude. But on the other hand I've upgraded my two main instruments recently-ish from low/mid range instruments to high end, and in both cases my playing improved a lot instantly, as suddenly I didn't have to work so hard to get the instruments to cooperate[1]. However having to work around the limitations of my old instruments also improved my skills too.

[1] having a good soprano sax that basically plays itself feels like cheating, but one of the reasons for that is having developed the skills to keep crappy sopranos cooperating reasonably well for so long too.

>Lane assist done poorly (seen on my latest Toyota Corolla rental) is distracting and made me want to turn it off.

TSS is actually pretty good once you get comfortable using it. But this is the Toyota philosophy on ADAS systems in general. They are not going all in on FSD like the other manufacturers because it simply isn't ready yet. And so their lane assist is designed to be a safety catch for innattentive drivers, not an automated system.
For permaculture I first need land, and its expensive where I live (I can't go too far as I'm on 2 wheels without engine), so I'm still saving for a few more years before planting fig, persimmon, medlar, citrus, orange native trees, peppers, and all easy to grow things, and sleeping around that in a small box!
On Hallucinations, Junk Food and Alignment
That's not a policy. That's indulging in a fantasy world. A policy might be ending subsidies for sugar, or creating subsidies for healthier foods, etc.
To me there are two aspects:

People should freely be able to have opinions on Twitter, Youtube, TikTok, CBS News, etc. and those opinions should not get them fired from their jobs just because some exec or some vocal group disagrees... as long as they're not representing the company. "I work for Pepsi and think the President is "..." for example.

On the other hand, unless it's whistleblowing, badmouthing your company to a broadcast audience when you don't have the imprimatur to do it, will most likely have consequences. Broadcast communications are the purview of The PR dept. This is for the PR dept to handle. You can opine it with your friends, family, etc. but not to a broad audience like that, unless you are considering the consequences.
Well, among other things. Native APIs are another thing that comes to mind, but those can be bridged more easily I suppose.

My understanding is that Japan is pretty similar with differing policies per school, and from what I've learned of Indian education from coworkers, there's so much difference from one school to the other (or possibly region to region) that I doubt you could come up with an "India does XYZ" generalisation either.
>Personal politics, IMO, is not a good reason to avoid living in certain areas. I'm a liberal-leaning moderate but many of my favorite people (friends and family) are conservative, and many of my hobbies tend to be populated mainly by the conservative demographic.

This is a comment that originates in privilege. The concern for many people is not simply that they would have to be friends with conservative people. The concern is that the government and the local community will be hostile to them. This is true for a variety of targeted groups including LGBT+ people, ethnic minorities, or even just women. For example, it is objectively riskier to be pregnant in places like Kansas City because local abortion laws rule out certain medical procedures that could save the mother's life[1]. That isn't something a woman in a blue state needs to worry about.

To clarify, I'm not saying that compound words are difficult to parse due to a lack of spaces. I'm saying that without any spaces in a sentence at all, it's harder to differentiate between compound and non-compound words.

blueberry vs. blue berry

stand up vs. standup

online vs. on line (northeast US term for queueing)

cartwheel vs. cart wheel

Stick compound words in a sentence that doesn't have any spaces at all, and you either have to pause to grok context, or context won't even help you (blue berry vs blueberry). At least German capitalizes all of its nouns, which would certainly help.

Compare this with Chinese, Korean, Japanese or other similar languages that don't use spaces at all (except perhaps after punctuation).
