Do we have a labor shortage, or do we have a shortage at the wages companies are prepared to pay? There's a largely unexamined assumption built into capitalism that there exists a market clearing wage where humans will be incentivized to provide labor and owners will reap a profit. But what if that assumption is breaking down? My most "valuable" skill is writing software, but it may soon be the case that ChatGPT 9 can do that much better and cheaper than me.

What happens when we have nothing profitable to offer capitalism?
In a country the physical size of Brazil, having trustworthy election results the day after an election is great.

And we need to go to a voting place to cast the votes - it's electronic, but not online.
The big question is whether we really want more centralised cloud applications of this sort in the AI future, with its potentially exacerbated risks of data breaches, identity theft, spam, etc.

With NixOS, you typically use flake.nix or shell.nix to "shell into" development environment so this is kinda non issue. You can also use `nix run` or `nix-env` to mix traditional package management and this.

This is true though, if you dont want to manage all of their configs from nix, I would make their dump locations, or $XDG_DIRS/$HOME (if you are lazy) permanent in this case.

The original commenter said well that it's important that the population actually believes the system is secure (separately from it being objectively secure or not). But in Brazil, people widely believe the system to be better than paper ballots. As the other commenter said, fraud was really common with paper ballots in Brazil in the 80's and early 90's, people had little faith in them (and as a Brazilian, I find it quite funny that it's the other way around in other countries: for some reason they do believe paper is safer without really explaining how).

People may not understand the mathematics or the encryption, but they do understand that you can't just change votes in that electronic machine unless you have high level of skills (as opposed to being able to make paper ballots disappear). To successfully attack the system, you need to be able to infiltrate the machine in such a way that you cannot be found out later (if it's found a machine was tempered with, there's ways to either invalidate some votes or recover the original if possible), and because all machines are completely independent, you would need to attack, physically, one by one. There are hundreds of thousands of machines, I believe... it's just not feasible to do that without making it obvious. So no, you can't just attack the entire system.

That is not what BoiledCabbage was saying. He was saying:

You're not really making any specific claim about what is wrong with BoiledCabbage's speculation, and why this specific thing is wrong. "That's wrong because positivism, it's all in this 5k word wikipedia article!" just doesn't prove anything.
Sure, but it would cost a few billion. For just modestly sized stretch of rail and a couple of stations and trains.

Waymo is of course not cheap but they can do a lot with a few billion. Rail just isn't cheap. Privately funded rail tracks are basically not a thing in most countries. Just too expensive to be interesting to normal investors. Especially if they are looking for ROI measured in years rather than decades/centuries. Governments spend on rail because of the wider economic effects it has on their economies. Not because exploiting rail roads is particularly lucrative or even profitable.
> Living in a world where everyone is eating healthy local food, where you live longer because it’s safe to use your bicycle and hard to use the car. Living in a world where you can walk everyday because there are trees to give you their shadows.

As someone who dislikes physical movement or being outdoors, this sounds terrible. Local food is often heavy in ingredients I don't like or to which I am allergic, or doesn't fulfill my nutritional needs and desires. This is not the idea of an ideal world for many modern people.

I'd much rather we solve the issues related to being sedentary with technology than we try to figure out how to make everyone bike everywhere, which most people don't want to do, even given the option. I don't wash my clothes by hand and I'm not sure why bicycling is seen as some ideal correspondingly. I'd take a 200 year perfect artificial heart over safe bike lanes. I'd take better solar (to run more AC and dehumidification) over more trees. I've swallowed enough bugs whilst cycling for more than one lifetime.

Your position, to me, is still just a yearning for historical lifestyles that we abandoned en masse for good reasons. Using energy on air conditioning and transportation are perhaps the least stupid things one can spend energy on - right alongside spending energy on washing machines for your bedclothes and underwear, which nobody seems to regard as some insanely wasteful luxury. Why is energy for heating seen by europeans as OK when energy for cooling is regarded as a senseless waste? It's just cultural bias and tradition.

When the majority of humans live in space or on bodies without an atmosphere, this whole "fresh air and trees" meme will finally die, I hope.

Good question. I've only had it set up for a few months and so far Time Machine is only using 660 GB of my 2 TB SSD, backing up my MacBook's 512GB internal drive.

So Time Machine is pretty space-efficient, but it will keep growing over time until it fills the entire backup drive since there is no limit on how old the backups it keeps can be[1]. I guess when it starts filling up I will just manually delete some old backups to free up space if I need it. Apparently, another alternative is to limit the size (set quota) of Time Machine's backup volume in Disk Utility.

[1] Personally I wish this could be configured. I don't really care much about keeping old files, I just want to make sure I have a recent backup just in case my MacBook gets lost or stolen or it's SSD fails...

Some ICEs only go to Basel, but there are definitely ICEs going all the way to Bern and Interlaken.

Which is a funny thing: Interlaken is officially a town of 5700 people, and yet they're got two train stations receiving international high-speed trains. I guess it's really a town of 5700 Swiss and 100,000 tourists.

And the ICEs that started in Interlaken left on time. But once our train to Switzerland got delayed, I think we had to switch in Basel and take a bunch of local trains. So maybe you're right; maybe they're only allowed as long as they're not delayed.

Still, I don't understand how German trains manage to become such utter chaos every single time. I feel a lot better about the Dutch railways now.

The reason ML took off in the 2010s is because hardware finally became powerful enough to brute force classical solutions. If anything, this lends credence to the idea that these are more than just "parlor tricks", but that with sufficient hardware we can approximate the value of intelligence. We've certainly experienced the leaps in just the last few years when more hardware is thrown at the problem. Imagine what can be accomplished in the next decade or two based on this growth alone.

We don't necessarily have to replicate the way the human brain works, but as long as the machine is capable of performing quasi-cognitive tasks, there will be immense value (and disruption) to society.
I'm in Japan on a Mac with the OS language set to Japanese. Safari gives me Shift_JIS, but Chrome and Firefox give me windows-1252

edit: Trying data:text/html,<html>日本語 makes Chrome also use Shift_JIS, resulting in mojibake as it's actually UTF-8. Firefox shows a warning about it guessing the character set, and then it chooses windows-1252 and displays more garbage.
Which is I’m really looking forward to Intel’s upcoming AVX10 / APX extensions, created to alleviate the P/E core issues they had in Alder Lake (really, what the fuck was Intel thinking back then?) It’s still inferior compared to full AVX-512 since you don’t have 512-bit wide registers, but you still have 32 256-bit registers to play with as well as the rich instruction set of AVX-512 (with all that masking and gather/scatter ops and that jazz…) so much better than AVX2.

Now hearing that the upcoming Ryzen is also going with the hybrid P/E core approach I wonder if AMD is also preparing to adopt these instructions as well…

Why do you need a new language with new syntax to do this instead of making a Python library?

vision = Vision()

(vision
.load("./folder/")
.search("coffee cup")
.get(1)
.show()
)

I think unless your language semantically does something really different it's almost always a mistake to make a new one. Adding global state and replacing () with [] doesn't seem worth losing compatibility with the rest of the ML/CV ecosystem, and forcing people to learn syntax just for this.

We also tested a dual system with printers (early 00s i think?) but they were found to be unreliable and challenging due to the scale needed.
There was also not a serious discussion on what to do if there's differences between the two.

Also probably more funds to research a safe way to redo all public electronic signatures (resign the candidates database and the operating system) to quickly launch a second, third round if we need to vote again due to differences.

How do you do in your case?
Of course it is about the feelings of the general population!

The feelings of the general population decide whether you have a stable democracy or a revolution on your hands.

There are no objective laws of physics when it comes to organizing society, no objective reality, only the perception of reality.
The best framing for this is still: "You get what you measure". So if your have a KPI that says 20% growth in user base per year, you make it easy to signup, hard to leave, but frequently forget to measure activity, user satisfaction or profitability.

I worked for a company that wanted some growth in business, so they started to sign contracts for jobs for which we had little to no qualification. We got new customers, more business, more work, but employees started to leave or burnout.
I think the reason is more bureaucratic, costs, contracts etc - Swiss let happily French TGV on their trails, I took it few times with only Swiss ticket since I was getting off within Suisse (so no surcharge).

It is worth noting when ARM was public before (starting in 1998) it was listed on Nasdaq and the LSE in order to access US capital.
While a compass helps with orientation, it doesn't help you find where you are or where you're going, so a map might be a good addition (or a replacement, as I find it pretty trivial to orient myself in a city when given a map).

Why a disposable camera? I would think any user preferred camera would be fine, even a cell phone (just put it in airplane mode to avoid distractions).
The one case where your argument fails is very serious illnesses where you can't continue to work. In the US you will end up with worse care.

And let's hope the NHS problems are temporary. When I worked in London and the US ten years ago, I always preferred the NHS because the waiting times were shorter and the quality of care was much higher. I used the NHS a few weeks ago. It wasn't horrible and I got good quality of care within a reasonable time. But it's nothing close to how good it used to be so for the serious part of my care I went to the far better hospital in Brazil covered by my employer provided insurance.

I would guess the NHS will change. Voters are unhappy with the reckless defunding of what used to be a national pride.

The US does provide better care right now if you are rich or privileged enough to have a job that is in demand. But a well funded NHS is a far better system if the political will to get back to that exists.
I disagree. Cracking is, historically speaking, the act of circumventing copy protection mechanisms. So to me, cracking is one of the disciplines of hacking.

So, we could take concentrated CO2 from a furnace, and instead of releasing it into the atmosphere directly, convert it to Methane, and then burn that incrementally?

Or could we possibly fit an exhaust-gas tank onto our engines that holds all the combustion products, and is collected and recycled at the gas station?

I'm giving it info on how to construct data models with a custom library, so interacting with that is not using anything previously stored, and then giving it businesses/tasks to model as simple human descriptions.

If you tell me that something which

* Takes a human description of a problem

* Describes back to me the overall structure and components required to solve it with a hierarchy

* Converts that into code, correctly identifying where it makes sense for an address to be contained within a model or distinct and referenced

* Correctly reuses previously created classes that are obviously not in its original dataset

I'm absolutely not saying there's magic. Humans aren't magic and they can do reasoning. I'm saying it's not just looking up text and regurgitating it.

I think this is supported by things like othello-gpt, which builds an internal world model and outputs based on that.

>Did Hitler think that utopia could only be reached through genocide (in which case had he succeeded he could still have been wrong), or was genocide just what he saw as the most straightforward path to that end?

Well, in both cases he could succeed and still be objectively wrong about that, no?

Even if he saw it as "merely" "the most straightforward path to that end" (as opposed to the "only means to that end"), it could still very well, not have been the "most straightforward path to that end".

I mean, not invading Russia, not declaring war on the US, not bombing the UK, biding his time and keeping his existing central and eastern European conquests, and perhaps giving Jews some land under his control from those conquests (or Jerusalem or Cyprus as was one plan), would have been way better for achieving his utopia...
