Portfolio Theory: Why Diversification Matters
Not to nitpick your word choice, but taking you literally:

WWIII isn't synonymous with nuclear armageddon, and not just contingent on Russia's stockpile. To give an example:

China invades Taiwan, but all three conflicts remain frozen like Ukraine. Death tolls reach the hundreds of thousands, smaller regional conflicts emerge, more stuff is happening than the news can cover. But 95% of people are living their lives as normal, fighting online about whether this should be called WWIII instead of actually fighting in WWIII. The economy becomes weirder, but no worse than during Covid, shortages emerge and disappear as global capital continues to operate.

Or a more dire example:

An avalanche of wars break out, only grifters deny it's WWIII. Pakistan becomes completely overrun and drops a warning nuke, feeling as though it has nothing to lose. Fearing normalization of nukes, most world leaders shift to focusing on preventing this, planning a conventional retaliation of Pakistan alongside threats of totally annihilating it Pakistan if it launches another.

That said, the tail risk absolutely exists and should be our primary concern, given that billions dead is much much worse than millions.

A possible first use of CAM/CAD [pdf]
This paper discusses Boeing's early use of CAM and CAD in the 50s and 60s. If you didn't know, CAM stands for Computer Aided Manufacturing, and CAD stands for Computer Aided Design. Together, the two are the basis of much of "engineering with computers", and the folks at Boeing were some of the first to do it.

A relative of mine worked at Boeing during this era and knew multiple people mentioned in this paper. I thought others here might like this insight into computing and machining history.
Slightly off-topic, but I wonder what the big circle of light pollution is in Western Brazil, west-southwest of Manaus? It looks like it's centered over Urucu, which Google reveals is home to a natural gas pipeline. I wonder if there was a fire there or something when the satellite passed?
> The groups in highly-skilled co-ops are a small minority and are not what the word normally invokes.

Essentially what this sentence says is "the people that don't fit my stereotype are not the image that comes to my mind when I hear ${word}." While this is definitely true (it's more or less the definition of a stereotype), it's not a refutation of OP's point that homeschooling is more complicated than your stereotypes would have you believe.
>Of course they do.

Where? Do you have any examples?
> Interesting, where does it say that?

I thought you didn't want me quoting from a FS site.

Quoting the high church of orthodoxy at https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html

"Many people believe that the spirit of the GNU Project is that you should not charge money for distributing copies of software, or that you should charge as little as possible—just enough to cover the cost. This is a misunderstanding." ...

"Since free software is not a matter of price, a low price doesn't make the software free, or even closer to free. So if you are redistributing copies of free software, you might as well charge a substantial fee and make some money. Redistributing free software is a good and legitimate activity; if you do it, you might as well make a profit from it."

I see you've complained thrice about people using the "'free software' orthodoxy", but if you don't know about this essay it sounds like you only know the heterodoxy.

> "rent for a spot in the marketplace"

As Apple and Microsoft make it harder and harder to enter the marketplace without paying rent (and in the name of security) it becomes harder and harder to make a living writing software without paying that rent.
>Lucky for the Palestinians, Israel is more moral than Hamas and will not operate in the same manner.

Why is this true? Because you say so?
You missed the last line I wrote, I never said there weren't other forms of indoctrination:

> There is still school etc, but removing religious indoctrination doesn't add anything else, its just less indoctrination overall.

I should probably have clarified it in the first bit that I meant that the kids weren't told anything about religion, not that the kids aren't told anything at all. My point is that there is no indoctrination required to raise a kid without religion, it is the natural state. I and most people I grew up with were raised that way, religion was stories we read about in school, not some magical thing.

>https://www.metaculus.com/questions/2534/world-war-three-bef...

Metaculus hasn't moved at all. There's some recent comments debating why this is, and some posting reasons to think the market should move upwards.

My guess is this is some evidence for no WWIII, though metaculus can easily be assumed to be at least 10% off at any given moment, given that it's play money and relies on the interest of it's users. And they might not be interested in using their play money on long-term predictions.

The needle has moved on nuclear detonation by 2050:

https://www.metaculus.com/questions/4779/at-least-1-nuclear-...

I'm no geopolitics expert, there might be a reason why nukes went up but not WWIII. Or it might just be that nukes has one-third the activity and so is more moveable. Not sure which of the two to take more seriously.
I like collecting examples that confirm/deny my biases. Would you mind sharing the demographic differences between the two schools?
Sure, and that deserves more critique than this. But the critique there is that you're being marketed a product under false pretenses. I'll give you an example to help clarify. In another thread[0] the OP is showing off their ML programming assistant. The project is unquestionably cool and has every right to be on the front page of HN. But there are still major questions I have. The implicit critique here comes form the fact that the author says "beats GPT 4 at coding" but then their basis for this claim is simply via HumanEval performance. In reality the evidence does not support the claim (it doesn't say the contrary either, it simply is indeterminate -- not to be confused with orthogonal/irrelevant). This is marketing. I'm not sure if it is dishonest marketing, but I would not call it honest marketing either. It's in the gray. The thread originally had an intro from OP who was specifically requesting comments too and so the context is appropriate, other than the nature of simply being on HN.

Not defending TFA but... What kind of society produces the warmongering politicians that are bringing us WWIII?

Sure, traders are going to trade and investors are going to invest. But one thing traders and investors are not going to do is start WWIII.

How to fall down a rabbit hole
Ignoring the fact that most online services (and free software licenses) enforce limited liability, the actual demonstrable harm of bad LLM output stems from sharing it. If you generate a harmful, hateful, incorrect or offensive LLM generation and publish it without context, you are responsible for spreading that information. The fact that someone (or something) else wrote it doesn't appear to have any meaningful difference in-context.

I don't understand how anyone but the user could be liable for misusing an AI platform. If this upcoming legislation looks any different from Section 230, I'll be shocked.

That… isn’t what I said can’t be done. In fact it is the opposite.

I said that we should not empower people to decide when laws are and aren’t applicable, because what they judge as applicable may not be the same as what others judge as applicable. That’s the whole point.

Black and white laws are black and white, you can’t just decide stop signs don’t apply to you because you are a safe driver. You can’t just decide your dog is safe to be off leash in a place where the law requires it. Not sure why this is hard.

Well who do you think is kidnapping people? Clearly she has hired kidnappers to be able to drum up business for her negotiating services.
Yep. And a lot of it is of dubious value; I think for many (most?) properties, title insurance is a scam. Most houses, especially those built (or at least having changed hands) in the last, oh, 50 years (or more?) should be fine.

It also just seems kinda dumb that realtors get paid a percentage rather than a flat fee. On the buyer side, it's essentially the same amount of work to help someone find and buy a $200k house as it is for a $1M house. For the two properties I've purchased, things moved so quickly that I don't think the realtors had to do all that much. Conservatively, the first one made at least $2k/hr, and the second at least $1k/hr (and I'm probably underestimating there). I'm not saying their services weren't valuable -- they certainly were -- but I can't see most people agreeing to pay that rate if it were presented to them that way.

And I'm not convinced there's all that much of a difference on the seller side, either. The staging is going to cost more for a larger/nicer house, but the sellers are paying separately for the staging anyway. I was also reading somewhere recently that orgs that control access to the MLS will not even allow you to list if there's no buyer's realtor's commission, and there's a floor, like it has to be at least 2% or something.

From the buyer's perspective, I really liked Redfin's pre-pandemic model, where they'd give you part of the buyer's commission as a "refund", because their realtors are salaried. I assume they figure out from the traditional commission how much they need in order to pay their own operating costs (plus whatever profit margin they've decided to take), and then give you the rest. Of course, they stopped doing that during the pandemic, and now pocket the entire buyer's commission.

Granted, the realtors we've worked with through Redfin were hit-or-miss. One we worked with was fantastic and knowledgeable, and helped a ton, but another (in a different region) let us put an offer on a home that we wouldn't have been able to rent out legally in the way we wanted to, which is something she absolutely should have known (a non-realtor friend alerted us to the issue; fortunately we were able to rescind the offer before it was acted upon). I haven't listed anything on Redfin as a seller, but they charge 1% of the sale price, which is a lot better than the 2.5%-3% traditional realtors take. Still, the percentage model seems unnecessary there too; the amount of work needed to sell houses of different values shouldn't necessarily be directly linked to the eventual sale price.

> But if you think about that wholistically, that means sellers are paying 8-10% of the cost of a house every time they sell!

I can only assume this also is part of our housing affordability issues. Sellers need to see some minimum amount of appreciation (and a fairly large amount at that) in order to break even (without even taking inflation into account), so homes sell for higher than they would otherwise, especially in markets where sellers have the upper hand.

Such a narrow perspective.

First of all almost all of them don’t make it. They aren’t entitled for anything, they fight for any success. And the odd is heavily stacked against them. Check with your local restaurants.

Second of all small businesses provide the majority of the jobs. Your income directly or indirectly rely on the success of small businesses. Your town is kept safe and clean thanks in no small part to the tax money they pay.

You’d want them to success, not berate them with “the horror”. They have to operate within laws and regulations of course. But there are good and bad regulations. Keep the good ones. Take the bad away.
What you wrote there is not responsive to my comment. You have not given any reason to think they are not sustainable. You are maybe arguing they aren't economical, but that's different (and also I contend wrong for each for some uses.)

I don't think you've reached your opinion on the basis of adequate reasoning.
It's not so simple.

Some technical innovations help the earth, sewage treatment for example. Others, as you highlight, don't, like fossil fuels.

I'm saying I'm hopeful that more od the former will save us from the latter.

I see all this comments about how the homeschooled kids fail academically, and I cannot help but wonder if the people parroting this have any idea of the current state of public schools in the US. Homeschooled kids are subject to the very strict scrutiny of the court of public opinion (and ironically some of the most academically sound kids I have seen were homeschooled...) while public school kids can finish high school without knowing how to read or do basic math, and that's ok...
Yeah it also causes the problem of making it a real pain in the ass to buy cheaper plots of land. Realtor often don't give a flying fuck about the sale of stuff under 50k, not worth it for them. Can be hard to get representation.
This is exciting, like we’re about to enter a new golden age for indie apps and games.
2 deploys isn't enough for robustness. It depends on what the change is, but the full sequence is often more like

* Add the new schema

* Write to both the new and old schemas, keep reading from the old one (can be combined with the previous step if you're using something like Flyway)

* Backfill the new schema; if there are conflicts, prefer the data from the old schema

* Keep writing to both schemas, but switch to reading from the new one (can often be combined with the previous step)

* Stop writing to the old schema

* Remove the old schema

Leave out any one of those steps and you can hit situations where it's possible to lose data that's written while the new code is rolling out. Though again, it depends on the change; if you're, say, dropping a column that no client ever reads or writes, obviously it gets simpler.
Start at the hardware/IP layer. Easiest would be serial port for the hardware, and there are at least two methods of sending IP over serial, SLIP and PPP---there are documents out there that describe how those work. Then work on IP. IP itself is fairly easy---it's just best effort and IP options are just that---options. Then ICMP. Once you have that, then you can at least ping the device. UDP is the next easiest to implement, it's just portnumbers to an otherwise IP packet.
I am not referencing republishing the output results. That is a seperate act entirely. There are countless examples, particularly in regulated usecases, where threads are audited. Thus, who is liable for the output of the LLM in those threads?

I work in ASIC design, and while it seems like gobbledygook, it's not too hard to grok with some experience. Ken's blogs help a lot in that regard. For context, compared to modern chips these are extremely simple, bit at the time the tools for chip design were limited so it was a bit of art and science in one. Now there is a lot of automation to help 'draw' the layout using standard cells for digital, but analog design is still an art (and incredibly complex one). So at least for digital weve first order abstracted designers from the individual gates and wires, and design is more akin to programming, though in languages designed for hardware. I feel fortunate enough to have seen both sides, so have done both the full custom design as well as the highly EDA driven design.
Well, keep telling yourself that, makes it easier to go with the flow I guess.
