If the "something" never exploits a particular law, then in principle you could simulate it if you knew all the laws that actually applied (imagine a hypothetical biological organism that never exploited or experienced quantum entanglement).

But strictly speaking, as we understand it, it's not possible to replicate something exactly without recapitulating the exact laws and running a deterministic simulation, which is not practical.

I don't think anybody is really attempting to exactly replicate things, but rather to create a physical model which can be calcualted and contains enough similarity or transferrability to be able to make accurate generalized predictions about the behavior of the simulated system. How and why that works with modern math methods is still somewhat mysterious. The most useful thing written about that so far is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unreasonable_Effectiveness...

I agree that spreading it around is not clearly better. In many districts there are special-ed schools where these students are placed. I don't know what it's like in these schools. Some of them are probably terrible. But I think I'm obligated to weigh that against the disruption to a much larger body of students.
But it is much more everyone else's than theirs. Everyone, individuals and businesses, pays into the pot, whether they have kids in the school or not.
Individual parent's taxes are a minority fraction of the actual cost of running the education system.

Thus "siphoning": common public moneys being used to pay individual interests. If you want a private education for your kids, go right ahead and pay for it, don't ask the rest of us to subsidize you.

And yes, we all want a quality education for all children. Make schools better for everyone, not just the entitled or well connected.

They could promote policies to increase child birth among the native population and to foster a culture, including religious values, that support that. The justification that they need to import foreigners to support the elderly is nonsensical on it's face. If wealth is the cause of low child birth, what's going to happen when these immigrants achieve the same level of wealth as the native population in the next generation? The logical conclusion is that they are not importing these people to address the economic issue, but for ulterior motives, like diluting the native stock to diminish an ancestral identity that buttresses nationalism.

Even the most casual possible reading of history will give countless examples of governments acting against the wishes and best interest of their people, and instead acting in the best interest of the government. You can pretend otherwise, but that's choosing to be ignorant.

The same idea applies to the military-industrial complex in the US. Very few people are clamoring for further war. But neither major political party offers a legitimate alternative. There's no voting against it. Lobbying and direct monetary gain by the very top of society mean those in power want it, because they stand to gain personally, even if some recruit from a downtrodden town gets his legs blown off.

Likewise for mass immigration. The people in charge of major companies love reduced labor costs. And governments love increasing their tax base. They're the ones who get a say. Nobody else is even asked.
People keep saying "you don't need ai for this." Sure. But to do it at scale, and to intelligently connect disparate kinds of data contextually?

That's time consuming and expensive without ai, so you can't do it at scale to a comprehensive degree. That hasn't been practical until now. It still isn't quite cost effective to do this for every human, everywhere, but soon it will be. Give it 5-10 years

In addition, this kind of thinking will attrit some of those 5% of users, so repeated application will shrink their market share even further. it's the excel problem: a huge number of features will only be used by a minority of users, but a majority of users use at least one of those features.

I just redid my 15 year old original builder-grade kitchen sink and cursed the quick-construction plumbing the whole way. It was all glued together ABS plastic pipes instead of threaded pieces and single-use plastic shutoff valves with non-threaded supply hoses. I had to saw off all of it down to the wall and replace it all, this time with quality components.

So yeah, you're right, the new methods and parts make for very fast construction but the maintenance and repairability/reusability is trending toward zero.

Just like everything else these days, I guess.
But are those unemployed youth willing to do the available jobs for the pay offered?

This has been a significant problem in the UK since brexit for farmers⁰: local workers are not willing to do that sort of work for that little pay¹ so the reduced availability of migrant workers has meant some crops simply went un-picked because the farmers were unable to afford to offer more³.

In other parts of the employment market where significant learning/experience is required before starting, there potentially are a different set of difficulties meaning jobs go unfilled despite there being unemployed people otherwise available.

Here are a couple that I use a lot. There's probably a shorter way to write them:

# show the last 10 branches I used
lb = !git reflog show --pretty=format:'%gs ~ %gd' --date=relative | grep 'checkout:' | grep -oE '[^ ]+ ~ .*' | awk -F~ '!seen[$1]++' | head -n 10 | awk -F' ~ HEAD@{' '{printf(\" \\033[33m%s: \\033[37m %s\\033[0m\\n\", substr($2, 1, length($2)-1), $1)}'

# checkout the previous branch I was using
cop = !git checkout --recurse-submodules $(git reflog show --pretty=format:'%gs ~ %gd' --date=relative | grep 'checkout:' | grep -oE '[^ ]+ ~ .*' | awk -F~ '!seen[$1]++' | head -n 10 | grep -v $(git branch --show-current) | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f1)
There is also the issue of the branch predicate itself. It is always a true dependency, but when is its value actually needed? For cmov, it is needed before dependent instructions can even be executed. For branch instructions, it is only needed before they can be retired. Speculative execution can keep the pipeline full in the meantime.
It probably got flagged for being a racist dog whistle.
> What kind of "social contract", or whatever one would call it, is that? I mean, being invisible and rightless, but allowed to work and get a tiny fraction of the value your work represents

I'm confused. This seems to be based on a narrative that Nahel was an immigrant, but I read that he was born and raised in France and was a french citizen. So hardly "invisible and rightless".

Also, the officer who shot him was arrested and is being charged. Isn't this exactly what you would expect to happen even in a perfectly just society?
Completely agree with the content. Side note on that:

> Customer service is one category where I expect a lot of these jobs, honestly, to just go away.

For long I have, and in normal conditions, I would have said hurray. Humanity invented a technology that automated some of its bothersome tasks, one thing less to do, we're collectively all for the better, freed to enjoy life or spend our time in a more productive way, whichever suits best.

But in this world, the fruit of this automation is always reaped by the same people, and they're not those whose job was automated. The latter are now in a shity situation, the former are now marginally richer and won't share with anyone else.
In what way? I recently switched to using Wago and they are so much better than wire nuts that I can’t see any downsides (other than cost).
Unless these people are living in tents, they will need houses. They may not be buying their own place, but they will need housing somewhere, probably in houses purchased by councils or private landlords.

Also, not all immigration is from destabilised homelands. For instance, the people taking up H1B visas or similar.

You can't learn a programming language like that, unless it already has very similar paradigms to languages you already know. For example, try to learn APL[1] or Haskell like that (or just assembly if you haven't done any kind of assembly yet).

I think it’s more for the headline and aesthetic.
Right. But, be wary of strawman arguments.

The idea of using crypto payments for AI use is intriguing. If we set aside the speculative nature of crypto, the underlying technology might be useful for implementing micropayments for calls from an AI to resources (which might include other AI endpoints).

AI endpoints could not only be monetized on a pay-per-use basis but also designed to prioritize human values. Developers would register their AI endpoints on platforms supporting Lightning micropayments, specifying the pricing and payment terms using the 402 response method. When users access these AI endpoints, they would make small Lightning payments per request, ensuring fair compensation for resource consumption. Simultaneously, AI alignment techniques would be incorporated, ensuring that the AI systems understand and respect human values, exhibit explainability, and operate under human oversight and control.

This convergence would foster a symbiotic relationship where users benefit from on-demand AI services while developers receive compensation, ultimately leading to AI systems that are both economically viable and ethically aligned.
>There is nothing socialist about the US

Except for the half of the entire federal budget that is spent strictly on wealth redistribution to enhance equity between the rich and the poor - Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. Seriously, these three programs are fully half of all federal spending.

Not to mention all the state wealth redistribution programs, that cover housing (section 8), food (food stamps), education (public school system for k-12, pell grants above), utilities (utility vouchers), healthcare (ACA), telecom ("obamaphones", broadband vouchers), and more.

I've seen estimates that in the most progressive states, welfare benefits can amount to as much as $42,000 a year for a small family.

You can argue that on a PPP & CoL basis, that isn't much money in e.g. Bay Area (where that is well below poverty level), but that's also a global top 10% income.

To say there is "nothing" socialist about the US is disingenuous, politicized, and pedantic at best. There is substantial social wealth redistribution and there exist substantial worker protections in the USA. You can find plenty of countries with a FAR less socialist nature. In fairness, it is likewise hyperbolic to describe the USA as a communist or even "fully" socialist country.

I feel that it's almost always necessary to have more than one delivery at different stages otherwise some important feature or bug fix doesn't make it in.

You could say each increment is a fixed partial fee or milestone but that doesn't work unless there is adequate requirements analysis at the start, and they are small increments that can be determined dynamically and/or in a highly prioritized way.

And also each increment has to be the equivalent of billing for that block of time anyway.

I don't object to Vietnam or the Philippines pushing back against China's aggressive pushing for the 9-dash map, so I'm not criticizing what they're doing here. But I don't actually think that's what is going on with this map.
Well it’s made of mass produced parts so you can swap out panels relatively easily (though in a lot of cases this involves recalking).

I think generally the point of these is that you’re a lot less affected by skill level of those installing everything, so even really shitty apartments have good infrastructure. Million dollar homes in the US have worse plumbing than stuff I had in starter apartments in Tokyo (not universal but!).

And the boxing up means that your “wet area” is limited (Japan is generally very humid so mold is a constant worry). But I’m not an expert, and everything I’m saying might be totally off base.

No, it doesn't seem to mean even that. It just means that … the thing might do something construed as privileged, if the user running it is privileged.

Like, cat is on this list. And it's like, "you could `sudo cat` a file!" … well … yes? This is solidly on the wrong side of the airtight hatch: I'm not "bypassing security restrictions", I've been granted access to read a file otherwise restricted with sudo. If you grant someone access to running `cat` as root, I can't imagine how it would be a shock that they can then read files that only root can read?
