The military is indeed a great choice for many people: there non-combat roles like medical and IT, and besides college tuition it also guarantees stability, housing, and income.

But it can’t be the only opportunity for young people:

- People with certain disabilities are disqualified, they don’t even have the choice. Not fair to them

- Some people want careers which you don’t get in the military, including “useful” careers like science. Not fair to them, and they probably wouldn’t be good soldiers or Coast Guards anyways

- Some people don’t want to join for ethical or ideological reasons, when you join you technically lose some of your Constitutional rights. This is 100% valid and they shouldn’t be pressured to join; and we probably don’t want non-committed people in the military anyways

- The military has its flaws. There’s a lot of beurocracy and inefficiency, and some
people don’t like the culture. A big contributor to the recruiting problem are the horror stories (albeit maybe rare) you’ll see in forums. Many people say that joining the military was the best choice of their lives, but many people deeply regret it.

I don’t mind advocating for the military, but some people are better off going directly to college. And some of those people need scholarships, and college tuition is still unreasonably expensive.
I think 5-6 years ago, it was good. I enjoyed using it and experts wrote some amazing, no filter, content you can't get anywhere else.

From my experience, Quora failed because:

1. Quora decided to automatically mass generate fake questions. Someone genius at Quora saw that the number of questions correlated with engagement/traffic so he/she thought let's just mass generate questions for people to answer. Inevitably, this led to just pure spam. It's like Quora decided to spam itself.

2. Overtime, users figured out cookie cutter, feel-good, often fake news answers received many upvotes and Quora boosted those answers up. This led to an insane amount of garbage from users in India.

3. Quora decided to use every dirty tactic to get people to login/register and download their apps such as hiding content behind prompts, using unkillable popups, etc. Just like Reddit now.
Many comments are saying it's helpful. But what happens when it's widespread, everyone crafting Hallmark type empathic messages to everyone. Or once everyone has bots, then most likely they will all be sent straight to spam or something. We will be inundated with such messaging.
Lately, I’ve seen comments copied verbatim from lower in the very same comment section.

They’ll find a comment with upvotes rising above its thread neighbors, but with the entire thread neighborhood buried at the bottom of the comment section. Then they’ll just staple that low comment as a response to some visible comment in a thread much higher up the comment section.
Why would that affect anything? Reduced demand for house purchases should result in higher supply for rental housing as owners rent it out instead of sell.
I've had thoughts along similar lines. My idea was that users should have the ability to select their favoured mod team from a range of teams. So all moderating the same namespace but swapping out different mod teams would give you a different view of the content in that namespace.
As a Canadian I was tempted to use my own experiences of people spouting stuff that made me think I had fallen in a time warp to the 1950s. But that's subjective. And the above thread was about the southern USA.

I was not trying to pile on the south bashing so much as to simply point out that pockets most people would consider remarkably regressive persist, not specifically in the south per se, as just in North America at all. I was particularly interested in the last bit: 60% majority in favour, yet 25 counties majority against. Localized, varies by community. It's like that in Ontario too.
Shitposting on reddit isn't "labour".
That theory is total nonsense. Covid was extremely infectious, and had severe symptoms. It could not have stayed under the radar for that long. It was also unlikely to fizzle out: once a country had one case, it would turn into thousands of cases within a month.

If Covid had been circulating that widely that early, the trajectory of the disase in December 2019-March 2020 would have been totally different. There would not have been an initial outbreak in Wuhan followed by individual cases popping up in various other countries, followed by a gradual buildup of cases in those countries. By the time we got a test, there would have been hundreds of thousands ill all over the world, all being detected as cases simultaneously. It would have been impossible to e.g. trace cases to specific super spreader events, because there would have been so many sources of infections. Basically none of what happened would have been the expected outcome if Covid actually was spreading in the wild that early.

All the reports of early Covid cases outside of China are just the expected false positives from tests that don't have 100% specificity (which is pretty much anything other than full sequencing).

I doubt SETI could detect even our own signals, when it’s encrypted digital data. I mean it’s just noise like any background signal..

Then, we people are very soon capable of communicating using quantum entanglement, which means it’s beyond wireless and you simply couldn’t tap into it with some antenna.

For these reasons I suspect that SETI is waste of money.

The problem is that we don't police the shelters too. What ends up happening in some cities especially the West Coast people steal from each other even being as poor.
What I always found interesting about Tokyo was that you could live in all of the various hotspots around the city, alone, on a semi reasonable middle class salary. You would live in a tiny little box, but you could be a 10 minute walk to the middle of Shinjuku or Shibuya. If you are single and don't care about cooking at home it really seemed like a great option. I don't know why in the US we have to be priced out of the biggest cities unless we are making a top 10% income or come from a generation of people who just happened to move there a century again.
historically speaking, I don't like putting all my eggs in one basket. We've seen sites rise and fall, some fall from grace and others outright shut down. And often times, no one is prepared enough to move. In many cases they may not even care about the lost knowledge and move on in life. Sometimes I do care tho and I spend way too much of my time trying to find any data hoarders who may have also cared. This is a huge hassle.

So in theory, a decentralized network should solve this. If one part goes down, you host another instance, migrate, and have that new instance rise, with minimal impact to your community since all of this is happening under the surface. They may change their URL, but they will still feel like they are on their favorite site, hopefully with most of the people intact.

>Like what happened with reddit

Yes, a great example of why I don't like centralization, given current times. While I support the blackout, if there was some important bookmark to a piece of content that I needed, I may not be able to access it. If reddit was federated, I coudl simply clone those important posts to a new instance ahead of the blackout and keep on keeping on. Maybe have some way to redirect the URLs as well (I'm not too versed in how configurable these instances are).
Thank you for saving my time.
That doesn't really do anything for the millions of people that are paying off past tuition.
Because reduced demand for home purchases presumably means increased demand for renting. People have to live one way or another.

"medicine takes it to the next level"

I chuckled at this because I confirm this be true among my acquaintances and theirs who are doctors.

I never used this address anywhere so comparatively not much. Oddly, almost none of it is in the spam folder. The other interesting bit is that someone seems to have been using this address for online purchases and lease agreements (fraudulently, most likely).
LexisNexis does not just "charge people access to content which the parent company didn't generate". I could access most legislation through the government legislation website that shows the current version of every piece of legislation. I could piece together legislative history by looking through all the various amendments over the years compared to the originally enacted Acts. OR, I could look at LexisNexis, who have done all that work already and also have notes for pretty much every provision linking all that data together with academic and judicial commentary, major cases on those provisions, etc.

Similarly, I can look up unreported senior courts cases on the 'Judicial Decisions Online' section of the courts of New Zealand website, for free. But what about the notes written by experienced barristers in the law reports? What about the database cataloguing every judgment that has referred to every other judgment, giving an indication of whether the judgment is still good law?

It seems very popular these days to crap on businesses like LexisNexis and it does sometimes feel like they're taking the mickey given their prices and the terrible web interface to their databases. The fact you can't even 'open in new tab' properly is infuriating. But they're not just selling access to something that ought to be free, as many people seem to like to claim. They provide a lot more than just the raw judgments and statutes.
Such a good way to put it haha
Was this suit being worked on for a while? Or was it sitting on a shelf?

Section 4 of the RFC says:

> Packets with the evil bit off MUST NOT be dropped.

That seems to be at odds with standard firewall operation, that may choose to drop packets because of all sorts of reasons unrelated to the "Evil bit". This would seem to constrain their operations unnecessarily, and so I would say that it is in the best interest of security vendors to ignore most of this RFC as frivolous and not binding.

Cheaper rentals are often not posted online because of the time and cost required. Irrespective of that, plenty of Manhattan 1 bedrooms are well below $4,500, including this one in a building with a 24-hour concierge, air conditioning, stainless steel appliances, and in-unit laundry:

A lot of the exposure probably happens in childhood. They might never have developed asthma without exposure they didn't choose or control.

Plus it's not like people are likely to die because of lack of gas stoves, most likely the opposite because of potential safety features in induction.

I'm not sure how much regulation is appropriate here, but I sure wouldn't want to use gas every day by choice. It looks cool, but it's also pollution in your own house, and if anything goes wrong you might not be able to fix it yourself because of safety and legal requirements.
Well to be fair it wasn't known at the time
Of course there's a need for a lender, even at a microsecond transaction you do need funds to perform arbitrage, it's not just all theoretical funds - there's backing to them.

Else let's all just pretend trade on a real market until it collapses and just make sure they come a-knockin' on some non-existent firm...

Plus my conjecture, from my understanding, is the flash loan terms incentivise fast payback, whilst still retaining some fixed profit.

Akin to a credit card which has an effective 0% rate of you pay back within a certain time frame, but raises to 30% monthly after that.

I'd be happy to provide you with a flash loan at 0.001% fixed rate of profit for me/cost for you for the first 5mins and scare you with a 30% rate calculated every minute after that. For some pre-validated huge sum I know your business can be liable for, of course.

Which allows capital scarce firms to leverage these micro-loans on fast arbitrage opportunity where they should take any transaction that provides anything larger than that 0.001% in transacted profit. And let's them compete with larger firms on optimising pricing.

>I said 1% know about its federated nature.

I mean, they may not know, but they'd understand a high level overview.

I on gmail can email someone at hotmail, outlook, yahoo, or any custom business email. I can do this because email is a common protocol that is shared amongst dozens of servers. That isn't deep technical knowledge, but they would get the gist of federation there if I segway'd to it.

>gmail isn't a monopoly because of how they handle email. gmail is a monopoly because the common user doesn't know the difference most of the time

Even my Grandma has a Yahoo account. She knows my Gmail address and can send me messages. I don't think Gmail is as synonymous with email as you think.

also as mentioned above: some 80% of people with a business email address probably knowws that there are more addresses than "@gmail.com".
There's a difference between good and good enough. Something doesn't need to be perfect to be useful or popular, only good enough.
He said they may have done so and that there's a chance it was intentional, which is entirely true and quite a reasonable thing to say. He acknowledges that it's unlikely, and he doesn't think that they would do that or that they did. But it is absolutely possible. You'd have to be crazy to think it wasn't possible.

The same article says:

> As the pandemic began spreading in earnest in the United States, President Trump and other high-ranking officials in his administration began to circulate a controversial theory that the coronavirus originated in a lab in Wuhan, China, though there is no evidence supporting this claim either.

...which is a lie. There was evidence supporting that claim even back in June 2020. The mere fact of the lab's existence in the city at the time and the subject matter that it was studying is evidence. It is not enough evidence of its own, but it is (circumstantial) evidence. People get convicted of crimes based on circumstantial evidence every day, and rightly so.
You are in the credits though!
The first transistors were slow, and it seems this "GPT3/4 calling itself" stuff is quite slow. GPT3/4 as a direct chat is about as slow as I can take. Once this gets sped up.

I am sure it will, as you can scale out, scale up and build more efficient code and build more efficient architectures and "tool for the job" different parts of the process.

The problem now (using auto gpt, for example) is accuracy is bad, so you need human feedback and intervention AND it is slow. Take away the slow, or the needing human intervention and this can be very powerful.

I dream of the breakthrough "shitty old laptop is all you need" paper where they figure out how to do amazing stuff with a 1Gb of space on a spinny disk and 1Gb RAM and a CPU.

You don't have to switch to Apple though. It's a bit like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Apple has an even stronger hold on your digital life if you decide to fully invest into its ecosystem. It's much better to stay on Android, but de-google it, and avoiding the use of your Google account
I don't think either of those things will work. Having a drug problem is a huge issue here. If more people worked there would be more business, more business more opportunity.

The real unemployment numbers are the issue. The reason we keep raising the retirement age is to prevent a drop out of the workforce, you can only raise it for so long before you lose the valuable workforce you need to sustain a region.

Many homeless people are jobless and without income. Providing federal jobs isn't helpful because,

1.) Criminal Records. Some have these.
2.) Lost Identity. Without an identity rightful employment is hard.
3.) The government doesn't have enough work. State / Federal

If we want to overcome this challenge of homelessness you need to divide the homeless into the categories of need and provide services equal to that need.

Down on luck just need a home and a job.

Druggies need to be locked up to get clean. But not the way we traditionally lock them up, I'm sick of our penetentrary system it sucks, but there are other ways to criminal drug use. We just need to adapt like other countries.

Mentally ill just need a together home with other people who can provide vocational, mentoring and emotional guidance.

It isn't simple but we lump them into HOMELESS and then we remain fucked.

>Isn't the simplest solution that COVID also came from animals?

No, you don't get to leave information out of consideration and call your conclusions the simplest theory. Most viruses are from animal spillovers. Also SARS has been leaked from labs on more than one occasion.

>It might be more strange if it was nowhere near a wet market.

It's not strange that it was near a wet market. It is strange that it was near a lab studying coronaviruses that was at least thinking of doing GoF research of the kind needed to create COVID-19 if indeed it was created.

The spillover theory leaves too many unexplained coincidences for it to be the simplest theory.

I suspect it's because most Americans don't want to live in a little box; culture is just different here. And not having a kitchen seems like a deal-breaker for many people (myself included; even when I was in my 20s and ate out most of the time, I don't think I would have tolerated that). And I believe some municipalities in the US won't consider a space legal to rent out if it doesn't include access to a kitchen.

Of course, the real reason you have to be rich to afford a decent space in our biggest cities is because there isn't enough housing to satisfy the demand. Build more (and, critically, make it not incredibly expensive to build more), and prices will go down.

When I was trying to dig through the chaff eventually I found the magic phrase viral tropism.

It's complicated.
You have the ability of the virus to infect particular tissues. Sometimes viruses have a primary and secondary attack.
What the viruses life cycle is in the host. Chicken pox's isn't influenza's.
There is the ability of the virus to evade and suppress the immune response.
And finally you have the point that viruses can trigger autoimmune responses.

I saw lots of back and forth about neurological stuff. Best response was from someone that studies neurology that pointed out that 'the brain' is made up of dozens of cell types. Viral damage or an autoimmune attack on any of those can be very ungood.

Also I think about 50-60 years ago the medical profession lost interest in respiratory viruses. So much information is absent, out dated, or the result of 50 years of telephone.
