Many young people or those cheering for employee/consumer rights do not seem to understand that this does more net harm than good. For small businesses and startups, this can amount to millions of dollars of additional expenses. Like any economically rational entity, your employer is going to respond by reducing headcount, not hiring in CA anymore, cutting costs in your annual raises, or some combination of the above. This law does not work in your favor.

Fascinating. I just skimmed the United States AI regulation executive order and this type of scenario, reputational damage, it does not seem to be mentioned by the United States president's office.

So it's like yet another way that AI can increase risk to business, through reputational harm of a financial entity.

Is there a like a regular law about this kind of thing? I don't think so, implying that that's the poll was produced by the guardian.

The power of suggestion, I guess content might need disclaimers that it's AI generated in order to avoid this sort of reputational harm but you know that would actually be really nice but I don't see that being advocated by any government regulators at the moment.

1. Nobody really knows what box to put AI in, because nobody's had decent ones until very recently.

2. Despite the differences, the similarities are rhetorically convincing for many.

I recon there will be a lot of bad analogies for the next decade at least.

Exactly, and it's not just about reading but also (perhaps even more so) about writing. If Nintendo control the manufacture of their proprietary disk, well, it's unlikely that a pirate outfit will be able to build a disk manufacturing factory that produces something compatible with retail Wii U's they can then sell their own non-Nintendo licensed games on. Or burn Nintendo's own games onto. The cartridge era of games were much easier to reproduce the physical medium onto, and this was super-widespread.

This did break down for Sony later on in a way it hasn't for the Nintendo Switch, a widely shared opinion on why the PS Vita flopped was because it was incompatible with standard SD cards _and_ that their own flash game cart and memory card offerings were so incredibly expensive. (And there were cheap SD-to-PSVita adapters that were released anyway. [0])

The data isn't stored by the labs (not Dante, the testing lab) and, and these mishaps happening is further evidence it isn't. You don't need to have Dante keep your data after transfer and the information gleaned isn't that powerful or useful. Full genomes of people, a DNA dox is available from many people and you can download all several gigs of their data. Good luck doing something with it, it's like LLMs but more random, larger files, and hard to find definite information even from GWAS.

You're right about VP9 though, definitely faster to decode, though there are trade-offs (video quality, encoding performance) when compared to HEVC.
There are plenty of 'public school' horror stories because these things are public and can be audited in a great number of cases.

You don't get to hear the homeschooling horrors when they happen because they are private. Maybe you'll be a therapist and years later get to talk to one of these people how they are effectively crippled for the rest of their life. Or you'll be like me that grew up in a place that had a bunch of religious organizations that homeschooled most of their children with educations that I'd consider completely and totally deficient, and then pull those same people back into the organization as cheap/uneducated labor they could abuse.

There was an observation about natural selection I heard a few months ago which is pretty obvious once you see it it: adaptations only matter during the period that you're fertile.

Mutations that increased long-term mental illness didn't matter if nobody lived past 30. Mutations that increased attractiveness but caused issues down the road would be selected for by definition.

In this case people with this gene would be actually available as mates, as opposed to the others who presumably tended to freeze to death.
Some do some don't. I worked at a place that paid for public transportation or an equivalent amount for gas cards. Lots of employers even provide parking for your car for free. Others require you to pay for your own parking.

Your job will only be replaced if you're unwilling to adapt. It's like saying that C made assembly programmers obsolete. There's a lot fewer people programming in assembly, but the correct view is that there's a lot more programmers now than there were in the days that you had to know assembly.

"Under the cover of darkness and without permission" implies quite a bit, but you're coming at it from the wrong angle, which this court ruling affirms. Try thinking of it as a new tool that will act as a force multiplier for your work.
During the pandemic, Canada had something similar, but subsidized by the government.

For 2020 and 2021, if you worked remotely during part of the year because of the pandemic, you would get a tax credit. The value of the credit was either flat (a few hundred dollars) or proportional to things like the size of your home office (multiplied by work related expenses like internet, power etc). It was a sizeable credit.

As pointed out by Mark Galeotti, both the sources are less than reliable...

But the context of this is whether you should be reimbursed for the cost associated with an extra room if you choose to work remotely for a company that has offices, even if those offices are in higher CoL areas. (There's certainly an argument for providing a stipend for a co-working space for a fully remote company.)

No one is arguing that a dedicated office isn't desirable. It's a question if someone else should pay for it if you want one.

the right to strike, strangely enough. As has been pointed out elsewhere, there is an existing precedent for dealing with strike action: negotiation. There is also an existing precedent for dealing with companies that use tactics like strike-breaking, and that is systematic shunning. A company in Sweden (and elsehwere) that attempts what Tesla has done here is likely to be boycotted by ALL labour unions - finance, logistics, utilities. It is very difficult to operate when banks will not process your transactions, when calls will not route to your call centers, or when roads to your factory are not cleared by snow plows.

Again, you are just literally, materially wrong.

I struggle to understand how an adult does not realize that leading a normal life requires taking in some amount of risk, unless the person has some kind of learning difficulty. If you want to go outside, there is a non-zero chance that you'll be mauled by a dog without a leash. There's a much greater chance that you'll be involved in a car accident, and cars are policed much more strictly than dog leashes, not to mention that violations are punished much more severely.

>Maybe take a step back and realize that it's perfectly ok when people disagree with you about stuff on the internet.

Exactly what of what I said implies that I have a problem with disagreeing with people? All I said was "if you do these two things, your behavior is incongruous". That's as politely as I can disagree with someone. Maybe your problem is that I said anything at all, in which case I think you're the one who has a problem with disagreement.

I wonder about the first point. As you explain in another comment the value of pi, 3.14159, can be derived from number theory alone but magically it plays a huge role in shaping the physical world we know.

Would a different universe have a different number theory or is number theory something that is True regardless of the universe? What would an alternate number theory even look like?
If you home school, you don't get the money back. Public school is something like $12k/yr. That's a lot of money that you're essentially opting out of.

For parents who do so for political or culture war reasons, that must seem profoundly unfair. To be driven out of the public schools means to be denied resources.

Public schools using public money should be especially sensitive and as neutral as possible on political or culture war issues. That's increasingly difficult, but without that, public school doesn't have a good future.

Normally schools are thought of as Democrat-controlled, but that's not true everywhere. So rather than just saying that everything is OK the way it is, think about how it will be when your political opponents are in control.
In magic if there really is a free choice then the choice does not mater and something is marked/tagged in some way. Also many times there is a forced choice but it looks fair.

For most of the history of this species there also weren't books, people making a living writing books, computers, or importantly, the ability to endlessly copy books using computers. If we want people to write books, those people need to be able to feed themselves, and that's harder if nobody has any reason to pay for those books.

You usually can’t cash out while still employed with the company sponsoring the 401k plan. Conversely, you can usually only take a loan withdrawal if you’re still employed with said company.

Definitely 401ks are obscure and confusing and full of deception. I think John Oliver did a segment on them. Your experience is not atypical.
It really comes down to personal preference rather than the trends in the job market when comparing those two in-demand skills.

Personally, I'm more drawn to "applied AI engineering" – it's like a blend between data science and product engineering, encompassing areas like vector databases, prompt engineering, agents, chains, and so on. Meanwhile, I'm also picking up modern high-performance languages like Rust and Golang on the side.
I think anyone who has been seriously bullied would definitely agree - being bullied as a child can severely fuck up the rest of your life. Sure, many/most eventually move on, but like you, 30 years later I've got the therapy bills to show for it.

Sometimes I feel a little guilty feeling envious about my nieces' upbringing. They went to private school that ran from 1-8 grade, so they essentially skipped the middle school experience that was detrimental to so many. Honestly, I believe middle school as I experienced it (a whole bunch of elementary "feeder" schools that fed into one giant middle school for 7-8 grade) is the dumbest invention in the history of humanity. It sticks together kids, at wildly different stages of development, in an unfamiliar environment where everyone is trying to find their place in the social hierarchy - Lord of the Flies should have been set in middle school. Much better IMO to just have kids stay together 1-8th grade, and by then most folks are at least well into puberty by the time they get to high school. Not saying of course bullying doesn't happen in high school, but I think by then more kids are able to find their "tribe", so if they are bullied they have friends to fall back on (again, I'm of course painting with broad strokes).

Not only that, imagine you release something for some Mac, and it goes from PowerPC to Intel, now you adapt your OpenGL code in OSX, now OSX doesn't work in 32-bit, now you need to use Cocoa, Quartz, Uikit or whatever. Hey, we now named it macOS, what about moving your OpenGL to Metal? And we are not x86 now, we are Apple Silicon. This is just one platform, there are several that changed and required adaptation in the software. Some also died, so if produced great software for Silicon Graphics, Sparc, Amiga or whatever, well, you will have to update the software to port over to somewhere too.
I was homeschooled in the 90s/early 00s in the conservative Christian wing of the movement. Personally, I think it was a great experience (despite the conservative, religious aspect which I later rejected) and made me a more unique person. I would not have done well socially in school as a child anyway. My brother though, raised in the same environment, resents our upbringing. I also meet many homeschoolers raised in conservative Christian households who disliked the experience.

Overall, it's a very high variance method of education. For every Judit Polgar, you have a woman told her highest calling must be to reproduce and be subservient to her husband (I know these people personally).

If you have the resources and have intellectually precocious children, especially if they are a bit odd, they will likely enjoy it and benefit from it. If you have kids that really want to play sports at a high level or are socially very successful, they might later resent the opportunities they missed and the shared experiences they lack. Obviously, this is reductive, but I think something like this is true.
Both will take a while to ramp up to. Rust will have fewer job prospects but machine learning will have much much more competition in the job market.

I like your example. The Comanche were imperialists that almost exterminated the Apache....Raided a thousand miles into Mexico and into Tropical environments. Killed everything in sight. Wiped out thousands of naive white settlers. And when they killed it wasn't quick. Many accounts of them skinning people alive (some children). US was only able to get a handle on the Comanche by killing off their food supply, and that was deep into the 1870's. After they surrendered the war chief (who was psychotic) became a successful rancher and would go on hunts with US presidents. Which just goes to show how small the line between full blown raider and adjusted law abiding member of society is. And maybe that's why people feel the need to virtue signal. subconscious hedge.

Probably not even then, at least not initially. While some people conflate AGI with personhood, consciousness, qualia, etc. we've got at least 22 different[0] ideas of what consciousness is and no idea how to even determine whether or not a mind has qualia — and even if we did, I see no specific reason to require any of them, as a P-zombie[1] AGI doesn't seem to me like a contradiction in terms.
