> why should society have to pay up even more for breeders' personal choices?

Because those children, when adequately nurtured (and proportional to the extent to which they are adequately nurtured), grow up to produce goods, provide services, and pay taxes that support the portion of society that can no longer do those things for money (which, with any luck, you will be one day).

There is plenty of reason to believe that the ROI of society subsidizing that nurturing is enormous, not to mention the second-order effects of that subsidy (like parents being able to balance their budgets more easily, consume goods and services other than childcare, and save for their own retirements such that they are more able to support themselves when they, also, become too old to work for pay).

Basic control theory will work better than AI here. The mathematical models used in control theory have been used in computing since at least the 50's (Kalman Filters). I suspect you won't have issues with computational power.

Figuring out exactly which model to use and how, may take some work. Also understanding control theory will allow you to do things like traction control, etc.

My core criticism of the EU developing their tech industry are centered in two issues:

1. Allowing their innovations to be bought out by large US incumbents. Much of the latest and greatest IP started in Europe, and is now firmly held by US-controlled businesses who are using it to make bank.

2. Generally having policy which either directly or indirectly prevents large or competent industry from forming in the first place. I don't mean environmentalism or workers rights, but rather issues that the USA has well handled: such as access to capital, eliminating protectionist strategies which prevent mediocre or floundering companies from being out competed by startups, and what appears to be a total fear of trialing new approaches/smoothing out barriers to entry.
> We have had fully autonomous airplanes and trains for decades now.

On the surface, yes. Looking more closely, kind-of-but-not-really.

A plane auto-pilot is not really meant to fly the plane from gate to gate. It's more a series of automation simplifying each action performed during the flight. But each action have to be triggered individually and controlled by the pilots.

For trains, full automation is not common at all. You see it see it mostly on a few metro lines, which is an ideal case (platforms can be secured, homogeneous equipment, very static route, short track enclosed in tunnels). On a classic railway networks, we are still at the stage of a few experimental projects.

So, even with trains and planes, we are hardly there yet. And these are much simpler systems to automate: they are operating in heavily controlled environments, with a traffic that is not that dense (compared to a city street) and with tons of help from the infrastructure (think ILS for plane landings, or ETCS signaling & speed control for trains).

So, a self-driving car in an open environment like a street? No, we are there yet, and in my opinion, we are still one or two decades away from seeing that.

That's not a point of view. This is a consequence of a choice. If you use an operating system that denies you the right to verify its source, then why do you care if an individual component allows you to do that? -- This doesn't make sense. Your system is compromised because you agreed to use a compromised system.

This doesn't say that whoever does this is an idiot. It's about making choices that make sense. If you sign up for a boxing club, but then start complaining about being hit in the face, then you aren't consistent. If you use Windows, and then complain that some component doesn't have a good verification process, then you are just as consistent as the guy who complains about being hit on the face in a boxing club.

If the source is Microsoft Word's grammar correction engine, do we require people to quote and cite that? The question here is whether "quote and cite" should apply to ChatGPT (used exclusively for re-wording existing text.) And I think my principles in the post above provide a better framework for thinking about that question than the grade-school rules (and rules for citing texts, which is again a different situation.)
And it's fine if that's what matters to you, but I think there's legitimate room for contention on the meaning of authorship or plagiarism when it comes to something like this. If a work is written in one language and translated by another person into English, I'd expect the translator to be credited. Is the sole purpose of crediting the translator acknowledging their effort or does it also serve to acknowledge that the other author can't necessarily vouch for translation or as an indication of provence? If it's not translated by a human, should the translation software be similarly credited? If the writing process consisted of one person writing a bulleted list outline and another person converting that to full prose, I'd certainly expect that person to be credited as an author. What about the case where that step was done by software?
How does it work? I.e., where does the data come from?
Another challenge. Where's the grand-parents? Where's the rest of the family and the local community? The "village" so to speak.

You're thinking of what is sometimes called "European MS-DOS 4.0" which did indeed have limited multitasking features, including shared memory and pipes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-DOS_4.0_(multitasking)
https://virtuallyfun.com/2013/03/17/european-ms-dos-4-00-aka...

It should not be confused with the mostly unrelated DOS 4.0 later released.

A Microsoft executive later said the multitasking DOS should probably not have been named "4.0" because it created a lot of confusion.

As someone who is both a heavy Office user and who plays AAA games, I pretty much have to use Windows at least some of the time, which I'm OK with; it works and I'm used to it. And I would be perfectly OK to pay money to get a work-focused OS that doesn't have any of the Windows monetization tricks where it tries to harvest my data or bombard me with ads, so this sounds promising on the surface.

But then I realize that I already pay for a work-focused OS, because Windows wasn't free - I bought a (somewhat expensive) copy of Windows 10 Professional when I built my current machine, and they still try to do all of that crap. I wouldn't be at all surprised if you have to buy Windows 12, then pay a monthly fee to keep using it, then get bombarded with ads and all your activity tracked and then sold to third parties.

Don't worry, from experience I can assure you people will have the same reaction to the latter as well. The typical argument is that "the poors" will have tons children just to cash out and we can't have that can we.

I believe (anecdotally) that the rate of unwanted pregnancies are not impacted significantly by economic measures, only by ease of access to free birth control measures and widespread sex education, but it's an unpopular opinion.

On the plus side that marketing clearing will result in those with the most child care experience working in child care, which sounds nice.

That said it’s somewhat amusing to me to pay for someone’s kids to be watched so others can pay said someone to watch their kids instead.

Single income families are considerably more efficient in real terms, but child care only shows up as GDP and taxable economic activity if a stranger does it.

It reminds me of that joke about the two economists in the woods.
My perspective is that someone has to raise the next generation of people who I will need to pay to take care of me when I'm old, so I'm fine subsidizing them. Raising kids is a lot of work and money.

One thing to keep in mind is that the particle will likely only lose a 'tiny' fraction of its energy in a collision (the article mentions 2900 TeV for an atom of nitrogen) and it might not even cause a 'hard' collision. A collision will probably create a shower of particles which will carry away most of the energy.

Registers are 64 bits but usable as 32/16/8 bits

Even on most ARM processors, neither the address bus nor the data bus are same width as either or the register width.

I'm struggling to figure out if my mind's eye "sees" anything, or if I'm just imagining the concept of the item I'm thinking about. If I'm comparing this vision to having a dream, say, it's certainly not visual.

"...there is a simple and helpful test that can give you a clue into whether you may have it: Close your eyes and try to imagine an apple, seeing it mentally in your mind's eye. If you can see anything (anything at all—even a blurry outline), you do not have aphantasia. If you see a void of complete darkness, you might have aphantasia." (https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/aphantasia-test)

When I imagine an apple, I don't see anything that could be considered visual.. I can "see" it, but it's certainly not visual as this suggests.

This is such a bad take.

Reproducing is such an important part of a society and humanity in general. Imagine everyone decided to be child free, what do you think would happen to the country you live in?

Countries with negative population growth often offer incentives for people to have kids because it can cause economic issues down the road and negative growth of the economy.

I would argue people without kids are freeloaders, all the "breeders" working full time jobs not only have to work but then go home and raise their kids to be productive members of the society.

The actual costs of raising a child are absolutely insane. Daycare cost alone is $20K a year for 4 years. That is enough to be a millionaire if you were to invest it in your early 20s. I'm not even going to talk how much time it takes out of your own life because its depressing.
While this may be true, the overwhelming response to this tool that I've seen in my artist circles has been strictly negative.

GI won some brownie points among artists when they banned user-submitted AI content and filed a lawsuit against Stability, but the sentiment seems to have now shifted back as people are realizing that was just a ploy to make room for their own AI solution.

Kudos to GI for searching for a solution that attempts to fairly compensate those who contribute to their model though, even if it's not perfect (and seemingly not explained/marketed well to critics). Their implementation:

> When pressed to go into more detail, Peters specified that there currently isn't a tool for Getty to assess which artist deserves credit every time an AI image is generated. Instead, Getty will rely on a fixed model that Peters said determines "what proportion of the training set does your content represent? And then, how has that content performed in our licensing world over time? It’s kind of a proxy for quality and quantity. So, it’s kind of a blend of the two."

On a somewhat related note: I'd say 95% of the software I've written was IO bound(and if it wasn't at the beginning then the goal was to make it IO-bound), and that remaining 5% does not benefit at all from async/coroutines(used them in Haskell, Kotlin(Quasar) and Rust). I'm very curious about what real-world CPU-bound use cases people have that can benefit from async performance-wise. If you're optimizing on that microsecond-nanosecond scale then you shouldn't even have yields/blocks on your hot paths, and synchronization will at most be done using memfences, so what are we talking about?

I'd also conjecture that if you place your problem domain on the IO vs CPU bound axis, the problems where async would provide performance benefits can invariably be solved by other designs that perform even better (GPU/FPGA).

Yes I'm one of those people who thinks coroutines have extremely marginal actual value, and most of that value is the "feeling of how cool this is" that people experience when they first learn about the concept. If there was a way to bin the concept altogether I would do it in a heartbeat. As-is, the entire Rust ecosystem is suffering heavily because of it.
No idea about a particle like this one but, I've read that cosmic rays pass through flesh leaving a microscopic track of destruction[1]. However atomic collisions result in a shower of particles. And very high energy you get multiple showers. A problem if you're trying to shield people in space for a long time. You need enough shielding to stop the secondary showers of particles.

Not only Java, that is the fate of all guest languages, as they don't evolve alongside the platform, always require additional tooling and most language cultures than start making their own little islands of idiomatic libraries instead of directly using platform libraries.

Since most platforms are leaky, one ends up needing to master two ecosystem in parallel, eventually it gets tiring and always cost extra in development.

C++, Objective-C and Typescript get around this problem in UNIX and Web, as they are extensions of the platform languages, not something completely different.
