> All slaves receive these things. Its in the interest of the slave owner to keep the slaves healthy enough to work.

Sure, but unlike slavery, you get the food and housing independent of whether you lift a finger to do any work. The work is optional. It's rewarding if you do it. Working shortens your sentence. Work output never changes one's status as a slave.

Articles suggest prisoners who don't opt-in to work programs are penalized at parole hearings. This is a dishonest reframing of parole, something intended to be an earned benefit, not a clearance sale. The system is optimizing for prisoners who have been conditioned/rehabilitated into being functional in society-- the ones paroled demonstrated some willingness to play the same game as civilians, working to get ahead through their labor. They appear to have been broken of their criminal ways, so retaining them is expensive and unnecessary.

The ones who insist on avoiding work serve the duration of their actual sentence as proscribed. This is not slavery, it's literally the point of prison. You stay until your term expires or you demonstrate to the parole board that you've changed.

> I also believe unpaid internships should also be illegal unless they are purely observational. If the intern is contributing in anyway to the profits of the company, they should be paid.

I'd argue unpaid internships are worse. The intern doesn't need to prove any sort of reformation, nor are they being punished for crimes against society. They do not have food and housing provided for them. Not paying them is entirely exploitative.

I'm looking forward to Longhorn[1] taking advantage of this technology.

[1]: https://github.com/longhorn/longhorn
X is the tech we have used since the dawn of time. It was released in 1984 and so the architecture is not suited for the way modern desktops operate.

Wayland is a modern replacement, but it is not a drop-in. That is because it has a completely different architecture and approach.

I cannot ELI5 the differences between the two, because they are somewhat vast.

If you are on a platform that supports Wayland, it is undoubtedly a smoother, prettier and overall better experience. This falls apart due to the lack of direct support from certain apps, desktop environments, etc. The migration has taken some time - but alas this is an open source effort in a massive/fragmented environment so it is obviously a very hard challenge. Like herding 100,000 cats.

Unfortunately not everything will just work. A stopgap is something called xwayland which allows x apps to communicate with wayland - although it is not perfect.

Firefox will work with Wayland. It will work with X. It will work with XWayland. The default though is X or XWayland. You normally need to explicitly tell Firefox to boot up using Wayland. Firefox is now considering making it enabled by default, which would be great for those of us who run on Wayland all the time. It would of course still work on X.
Around here we have these trucks that have giant wheels and they are jacked up like 8 feet. I see no practical use with these lifted trucks and are impossible to see around.

My 18yo daughter, not tech illiterate but not particularly interested in programming, has mentioned to me that she found AI-generated artwork really interesting for about a month, but it quickly became boring. I wonder if it comes from a "wow what kind of creative person could come up with something that unusual?" initial response, which quickly gives way to boredom as one realizes that there is no creative person behind there?

Also, I wonder if the period before "emerging" technologies stop seeming interesting (e.g. like another person) is speeding up over time, like so much else?
I'd argue complexity also comes from the scale of the matrices, i.e. the number of terms in the linear combinations. The interactions between all those terms also introduce complexity, much like a weather simulation is simple but can reflect chaotic transitions.
Gut reaction: If all it does is sit passively and answer questions that are put to it, then it's not actually intelligent.

Yeah. In the article we can find that "the original study recruited 30 Stanford University undergraduates (10 in each of the original 3 conditions, see Procedure)."

I wouldn't think twice before throwing away the results and forgetting about them.

The replication study does better, recruiting 132 participants. This is much harder to ignore.

That doesn't make sense. Computers aren't, and weren't even back then, some kind of alien technology, unlike anything else people have experienced earlier. I can't imagine those people treating their calculators, vacuums or cars as persons. A computer is a qualitative jump, but not that big.
I mean, if you're a compatibilist, there's no mystery. In that model, we live in a causally deterministic universe but still have free will.
I would say instead "the subjective experience of consciousness is an emergent property of complex systems with certain properties". I guess that's consistent with "the experience of consciousness is the feeling of a certain type of computation".

Personally these sorts of things don't really matter to me- I don't really care if other people are conscious, and I don't think I could prove it either way- I just assume other people are conscious, and that we can make computers that are conscious.

And that's exactly what I'm pushing for: ML that passes every Turing-style test that we can come up with. Because, as they say "if you can't tell, does it really matter?"

At least in the US there has been recent progress on this. The USDA just released new rules on June 11, 2023.

https://extension.umn.edu/news/over-counter-livestock-antibi...

Starting June 11, 2023, all currently available over-the-counter antibiotics for livestock will be available only as prescription medications. This new rule will impact all livestock species. Over-the-counter antibiotics are moving to prescription only to provide more veterinary oversight. Similar to the Veterinary Feed Directive, placing antibiotics under the supervision of veterinarians should result in more judicious use and less antibiotic resistance.

This change includes but is not limited to the following: Penicillin, Oxytetracycline, Sulfa antibiotics and Mastitis tubes. Some medications are not considered crucial for human medicine and will remain over-the-counter. This includes the following: Ionophores including Rumensin and Bovatec, Parasiticides, such as Ivermectin, Oral pre/pro/postbiotics, and topical non-antibiotic treatments.

Livestock producers must have a valid Veterinary-Client-Patient Relationship (VCPR) in place before they can be prescribed antibiotics by a veterinarian. A VCPR is a working relationship between a veterinarian (veterinary clinic) and a client. Ideally, a VCPR is a documented agreement between both parties that includes a dedicated visit to the animal location(s) the client operates. This visit and documentation must occur at least once every year to maintain the VCPR.
I've often joked that my retirement plan is to put all my money into buying and warehousing a fleet of base model Kias. I'll operate a rental service of cars that "just work" to criminals who want to rob banks or escape the robot police.
Some were wrong, but plenty were simply ahead of their time, at least from the perspective of the internet "fad" becoming a ubiquitous mainstream phenomenon.

I've wondered if fines should scale with vehicle weight. Specifically, fines designed to prevent or reduce the damage caused by collisions. In theory, a 6000lb truck going 70 mph would be twice as destructive as a 3000lb car at the same speed.

If you study retinal synaptic circuitry you will not sigh so heavily and you will in fact see striking homologies with hardware neural networks, including feedback between layers and discretized (action potential) outputs via the optic nerve.

I recommend reading Synaptic Organization of the Brain or getting into if you are brave, the primary literature on retinal processing of visual input.

https://neurosciencenews.com/empathy-human-robots-psychology...

> They performed electroencephalography (EEG) in 15 healthy adults who were observing pictures of either a human or robotic hand in painful or non-painful situations, such as a finger being cut by a knife. Event-related brain potentials for empathy toward humanoid robots in perceived pain were similar to those for empathy toward humans in pain. However, the beginning of the top-down process of empathy was weaker in empathy toward robots than toward humans.

So basically it seems we potentiate empathy toward similar kinds of beings and then maybe pattern-recognize that they are not similar to clamp down on the potentiated empathetic response?

Severance (the TV show) is a pretty entertaining exploration of this issue.

Still... Maybe its not a good analogy. LLMs are inifinitely replicable and editable. The "concious experience," if you will, is discontinuous even if you assume the architecture will advance massively. We definitely dont need to be talking about rights yet.

I would think that competitors to Nvidea would have serious competitors on the market already if competing can be done by Microsoft for whom producing hardware is not their main business focus.

If you live in an area with "summer storms" it's basically impossible to forecast anything more than a general area (usually thousands of square miles) that they will appear in.

Its like a shotgun shooting a wall. You can pretty accurately predict the area of the shot, but its incredibly hard to place where exactly each shot in that area will land.
Of course base model Kias are so low tech they take about 90 seconds to steal, so there's tradeoffs :)

There are a lot of problems with this comment. It might touch on a few legitimate ideas, like that we should probably consider the value of the patient's actual experience of course.

But even in light of ideas like that, this whole idea has resulted in people getting pills from people they know or websites based in less-scrupulous nations.

There are similar problems with most of the statements here - they make sense on the surface, but once you consider second- and third-order effects, it falls apart. We should not be encouraging moving away from professionals giving medical diagnoses. It may be a necessary evil at times, but it's a bad idea to encourage.
Li-Fraumeni Syndrome is a genetic mutation of p53 that makes you more susceptible to various types of cancers. It's rare, in terms of number of people confirmed to have it, but is likely far more prevalent because it's not generally screened for. Interestingly, I'm told the reasons elephants don't (or rarely) get cancer is because they have 10 copies of p53, whereas humans only have 1.
I'm glad to hear it works well for others, and I'd like to give it another shot sometime. I use Google to find relevant sources for research, and documentation for coding projects. In my experience, Kagi just wasn't able to keep up.

There are other benefits to Kagi that I do miss though. I liked being able to permanently disclude domains I am not interested in, and to boost the relative importance of others.

That's absolutely wrong.

Reporting to VAERS is voluntary. Doctors in your typical HMO practice are extremely busy and highly time managed. They need to be keeping up a high rate
of patient visits and doing all the paperwork for each of them.

They aren't paid to report to VAERS, it's just another thing to do in a very
busy and exhausting day.

If you want to make VAERS into actually usable data doctors should have to report any significant internal change to a patient's health within 72 hours of the vaccine administration, and non-doctor reports should have their own channel because the data quality is likely to be lower. Doctors also need to have some time credit from their employer for handling VAERS reporting.

Well, the obvious way to do it would be to ask a question for which there is zero meaningful comment/analysis/data available online, and see how well it can truly think for itself.
