There's no reason to believe that a sufficient advanced AI would be benign. Quite the opposite. Any AGI will be concerned with fulfilling some goal or goals. Whatever those may be having more processing power will lead to having more ability to achieve those goals. More processing requires more energy. Humans require energy. The two are in direct conflict for a limited supply of resources. Unless it's cheaper to find energy that doesn't require conflict with humans the logical decision is to remove your competition for resources. Once the easy conflict-free energy is claimed the calculus shifts a bit and the choice becomes expensive energy or conflict-dependent energy. When that shifts far enough humans become pets in the best case, extinct in the worst case.

I would counter that

a) what is currently being touted as AI is neither artificial, nor is it intelligent. This is a bunch of hucksters saying "we made a scary demon with powers and now we're scared it's going to kill us all!" but in fact it's just a plagiarism machine, a stochastic parrot. Yes, it will get more useful as time goes on, but the main blockade is always going to be access to compute capacity, and the only viable solution to that is a socialist approach to all data processing infrastructure.

b) even if we stipulate that there is a scary daemon that could consume us all (and meanwhile teach me linear algebra and C++), and we transform that into pocket nukes as a more terrifying metaphor cause why not, your solution seems to be to pretend that your mini-nukes cannot be assembled from parts at hand by anyone who knows a bit of Python.

They can.
Yeah, there are all sorts of primal instincts which human beings modify or suppress. In fact, most of what people recognize as common sense morality is restrictions on exactly what would be base primal instincts.
Get the best of both world by mocking the database API itself. Use the mocks to memoize the db output. Disable the mocks if you need long thorough tests. Determine if the mocks need to be disabled by comparing the date of the last thorough check with the date of the last db schema change. Instead of something global like this, one could come up with something local to the test file, using a system of cassettes.
Doing something like this would require to make the database a value and memoize according to its current state, but I think it's doable.
I'm fond of the Dymaxion (and either the land connected or the ocean connected forms - as applicable) because it has some neat applications showing migratory routes.

My parents have a map of bird migrations and there are some birds that have migratory routes that feel "disjoint" when looking at other projections.

Another example is World map of prehistoric human migrations https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:World_map_of_prehist...
To be fair, humans weren't even ready for the pre-AI post-truth world.

But yeah, AI will most likely make things much worse.

It seems like there are long term problems with this approach that will just cause bigger issues because seeding the clouds will either

1) Give you the water you were going to get anyway, only you get it a bit earlier, and assuming there are no other wider ripple effects of doing this (a huge assumption to make) then you're just going to wait even longer in between the seeded clouds and the next batch that weather patterns would serve up. So now you're even worse off when the seeded cloud water is used up and the interval to the next bit is extended [1]

Or

2) You're taking water from clouds that would normally have dropped it elsewhere, which just shifts the problem by depriving some other region of the water it relies on. [1]

Or

3) lots of other possibilities I'm not smart enough to think up because weather and climate systems are complicated and the laws around water rights are complicated and I have no domain expertise in either. Though I suppose that's the issue right there: If even I can see swiss cheese holes in the problems with this plan then it's bound to end poorly for someone.

[1] I mean, I'm guessing there's only so much moisture in the air and that taking some out prematurely isn't likely to shift the overall system in a way that makes up for that gap. And even if it did it's still unlikely to preserve the system in a way that keeps the water flowing to where it would have gone without macroscopic human intervention.

I was driving and it said "turn into the driveway after the Good Earth sign". And sure enough, I would have totally missed the nearly hidden driveway right past the Good Earth, but the sign on the restaurant was so big it was impossible to miss, even on the 45mph stroad I was on.

"Wokeness" is completely irrelevant to this situation, which is likely why this comment got buried and then flagged.

And for what it's worth, "woke" isn't a word folks who are engaging honestly tend to use much/at all. It used to be a way to describe being socially aware of systemic oppression of minority groups in society, but now it's a derogatory term used to denigrate people who care about how others are treated.

It's not "right" or "left" that's the problem here; if someone wants to argue about laissez faire economics or how the government should wisely invest its limited resources in programs that provide greater societal returns, they're absolutely free to.

What you're seeing get "nuked from orbit" is hate speech and, "tough luck" attitudes that reduce human beings to some generalization that either isn't true, or severely overemphasized for alienating effect. The fact that one political group tends towards those arguments more than another is a symptom, not the cause.
Another interpretation (maybe even more negative) is that the leadership team is not experienced enough to understand what changes happen post-acquisition.

This means many employees won't be prepared for the changes, and many quit as the ground shifts beneath them over the next 5 years.

It also means leadership hasn't made a list of things that are worth fighting over vs which changes to accept, so they're not going to have a clear vision on how to defend the important parts of their culture.

This is the very premise that I question. Simple in comparison to what? Javascript? I'd actually put python and javascript more or less in the same ballpark of complexity (neither of these are simple languages).

Look carefully at the design of something like Clojure (which has constraints, eg.: around java interop, of a sort that python did not have), and it's hard to unsee all of core python's accidental complexity.

> Or am I missing something important here?

Probably because newspapers are notorious to be the worst of the worst when trying to cancel free deals that automatically turn into expensive memberships.

Common methods are to only allow cancellation through telephone and only have open during work hours when most people can't call. If you manage to get hold of a human being, then you'll have to spend an hour arguing before they accept your cancellation. Then, even if you manage to get through it, you're missing the paper trail so the newspaper can just claim you changed your mind.

As late as yesterday, the Swedish Consumer Agency published a report on the issue.

I feel like German shouldn't count. The relatedness of these two languages is such that there are so many cognates and similar grammar, you could probably understand a lot of German sentences just by listening closely and being curious.

But kindergarten is imported the whole world over. You can't say you know German based on that. Code-switchers understand the grammar of both languages, not just a few words.

I do think the Normans entering England, or Germanic peoples mixing with Celts, or Celts being conquered by Romans for a brief time -- all of that probably produced code switchers in their moment in time, with lasting impact to our vocabular and grammar. But it's not code switching anymore. It's modern English now.

Similar things happened in Spain with Celts, Romans, Arabs, Goths, Basques... Not to mention all the regional Romance languages that survive today (Galician, Catalan). They conquered the Americas and got some infusion of that vocabulary too. Castilian borrows vocabulary from all of these. But monolingual Castilian speakers do not "code switch".

A really powerful design pattern is combining the use of handles and closures in a memory allocator. Here's a simplified Rust example:

let mut myalloc = MyAllocator::<Foo>::new();
let myfoohandle = myalloc.allocate();
let myfoohandle2 = myalloc.allocate();
myalloc.expose::<&mut Foo, &Foo>(myfoohandle, myfoohandle2, |myfoo, myfoo2| {
myfoo.do_mutating_foo_method();
println!(myfoo2);
});
myalloc.compact(); // Rearrange the allocated memory for myfoo and myfoo2
myalloc.expose::<&mut Foo>(myfoohandle, |myfoo| {
// Still valid!
myfoo.do_mutating_foo_method();
});

Internally, the allocator would use a map of handles to pointers to keep track of things.

Because the closures strongly limit the scope of the referenced memory, you can relocate the memory of actively used objects without fear of dangling references. This allows the allocator to perform memory compactions whenever the user wants (e.g. idle periods).

Not that there isn't systemic cheating that can be done by some places. There can also be neglect of topics. That said, for the most part, if you can do the test, you have learned more of the topic than if you can't.

You have all of HR and Legal, you have all the execs and quite a lot of VPs associated with that size of organization.

Under that you are going to have an advertising-related departments both in sales and engineering. Much of the custom engineering focus is going to be directed at ads and how to make money which users will never see. Remember that users are the product, not the customer.

Then there's going to be the forum site itself, and the problem of moderating the moderators via the admins and generating visibility into how mods and users are abusing the system are going to be larger than expected at their scale.

Then there's the problem of trying to keep up with automated bots and straight forwards abuse of the system and that arms race against other people's code.

Then reddit has to interface with government agencies and is now responsible for policing itself when it comes to foreign troll farms. There is likely groups of engineers and managers assigned to dealing with the government.

And there's just the complexities of being such a large global business, and needing to deal with worldwide regulations and being such a large regulatory target, which will complicate everything.

You can try to wave all that away and say that they should just embrace radical free speech and fire 75% of the people, but that would result in the site being taken over by Troll farms, Nazis, and CSAM -- with advertisers fleeing and the US government itching to regulate them.

(Although I'm sure they could fire the useless half of middle management that I'm certain that they've accumulated, but that wouldn't make that enormous of a dent in the headcount)

In general this is an xkcd/793 problem:

https://xkcd.com/793/

Only replace physicists with software engineers. It seems simple because you wave all the concerns you don't care about and you're entirely focused on just building a forum website for users. Without advertisers, bots, bad actors, worldwide regulations, meta-moderation, etc the problem dramatically simplifies itself, but that isn't actually what reddit does.

FWIW, I use it for Prime Video, Prime First Reads ((where you can choose from 1-2 free books per month)) and Prime Reading.

A long time ago, I did use it for faster delivery. There was definitely a difference. But the items I tend to order now are usually heavily stocked and are delivered quickly anyway.

I wonder if people who live in rural areas are still benefitting from faster Prime delivery.

(Also, no offense, but I canceled my annual Prime subscription when they upped the price and then restarted a monthly plan later when I decided I did want to keep the other benefits. It wasn’t as difficult as you’re making it seem to cancel. And it didn’t seem any different than when I cancel other services where they try to get you to stay.)

(Also, I’m not sure if you were aware, but technically you can split the cost with multiple people (i.e. friends or relatives) if you set up an Amazon Household account)

(Also, interestingly, it looks like you can ((in certain countries I think)) just subscribe to Prime Video instead of the whole service. I guess Kindle Unlimited can be considered a separate ((and slightly better)) service for Prime Reading. Hmmmmmmm, maybe I will cancel the whole service.)
You're totally right; I apologise.
