I may not personally like it, but it's the pragmatist thing to do if you're leading openai. The gov will eventually get involved, better to get in front of it.

However, there won't be a monopoly or anything of the sort that will form, our society's institutions wouldn't be able to properly enforce it and it's too easy for weights to leak, too much alpha for people to not fight back against it. Not worried.

The ai safety crowd's problem is that they're focused on a hypothetical entity that will take over humanity, imagining all sorts of scenarios in lalaland which are ridiculous (some of their "thought leaders" even advocating for strikes on datacenters to save humanity???), where the real risk is criminals/terros being empowered by the ai's cognitive ability. For that, we'll need the gov involved one way or another.
Of course I can’t comment on his specific circumstances. But two things stand out for me:

First, he is a software developer working for international companies, which probably makes him a pretty high earner relative to most people in Japan. Earning a high income improves mens’ eligibility for marriage pretty much anywhere in the world.

Second, Japan places a high value on marriage - both culturally and legally. It’s less common to see people date/live together for many years before getting married than in say the US or Europe.

I think the countries where you actually get your money's worth when it comes to taxes is very small, and even then, it's not clear whether it's due to good policy or merely luck and riding off previous successes that are being eroded by short-sightedness, stupidity/incompetence or corruption (also known as "lobbying" in the West).

For consumers, XP had most of the stability of 2000 but the drivers and game compatibility of 98. While I loved 2000 as a huge improvement over 98, I really liked XP and found it (relatively) trouble free and resource light.

Java is also a more sophisticated basic and is commonly taught as an introductory language.

I’d much rather be taught Pascal than Java. Probably 20 year old me would feel differently, but the 20 year old me was a much worse software engineer (actually, he was just a self taught programmer kid.)
Little known fact: we lost the grape used to produce mustard before Phylloxera.
This conveniently misses out versions such as 2000, ME, and 8.1. The "miss" of Vista can also be largely attributed to lazy hardware manufacturers that didn't want to rewrite their device drivers.
Yes, XP was a hit. It was perfectly usable, and quite popular, well before SP2.

Rather than argue for or against its validity it seems more useful to plan to ameliorate likely possible effects. As someone who has retired from the "rat race" and is living on about 1/3 my previous income I know there are plenty of ways to economize and reduce economic, carbon, pollution and other footprints. Homes do not need to be McMansions and much of the reason people buy expensive houses is to get on the price increase spiral bandwagon. Tiny and manufactured homes are good antidotes. Most land can be made productive using permaculture principles that mostly try to build a healthy soil, e.g. Forest holding back the Sahara, Geoff Lawton's enclave in Jordan, etc. Pollution can be reduced by manufacturing for recycling. For example food/beverage packaging and bottles can be made in a form that is easy to reuse for example as stacking flower/vegetable pots. Post your kitchen scraps into the top pot and let worms convert it into compost to supercharge your vegetable garden. Heating and cooling energy requirements can be greatly reduced using 1970s passive solar technology putting thermal mass in your roof or sun-facing wall augmented with electronics to automate blinds. I should add that in my family, my parents had 3 children, who collectively had two grandchildren, and now two great-grandchildren. So there is no growth in our family.
yeah, and this seems like a common thing,
but the reality is that most startups are actually bootstrapped and never raised money and never even tried.
But the media covers mostly VC funded startups and their stories, that's why it feels like this is a typical story, but it's just 1% of the reality
I suggest a piezoelectric hexagonal mesh that would be effectively grafted to the external dermus - or ideally one that could be incorporated within, or around a muscle.

an interesting question would be if one could augment the myocardial membrane surrounding the heart in a piezoelectric harness that is perfectly printed to the size and shape of the heart in a slightly smaller position when its between pumps such that the beating of the heart deforms the membrane and creates the power required for the implants.

A bonus test would be to see if such a heart-sheath could be used as a (de)fibrillator where an external electrical input could contract and release the sheath.

The risk is to prevent unwanted external electrical stimulation, even by EM/RF waves such that the heart couldn't be remotely attacked, or be subject to external interference (prolly couldn't ever get an MRI again.

Maybe you'd have to wear faraday vests/garments if you go full cyberpunk.

Yeah - there are a lot of studies on it:

Piezoelectric materials can generate electricity under mechanical stress without requiring an external power supply. This property makes them a promising candidate for powering implantable medical devices 123. Researchers have developed bio-compatible generators that create electrical pulses when compressed by body motions. These generators are made up of self-assembling “piezoelectric wafers” which can be made rapidly and inexpensively to enable broad use of muscle-powered electro-mechanical therapies 4. Another study describes a piezoelectric energy generator that is driven by stimulated muscle and is break implantable into the human body. The generator concept includes connecting a piezoelectric stack generator in series with a muscle tendon unit 2.
No issues whatsoever with the ground loops. They will supposedly outlive the lifetime of the home according to the installer (~120 years).

Only issue I’ve had at all is with the thermostat, which is an Ecobee Pro. While these smart thermostats are okay, they seem to mess up some of the more basic requirements of a thermostat, compared to the older dumb models.

For context, the system went live in January, all permits cleared in November. So about a year of use.
That's been around for at least 30 years[1] although there is a strange lack of tools using it, I looked into it a while ago. There's a tool for generating OPN2 patches[2] (sound chip used in Sega Mega Drive) which is what I'm most interested in this technology for but I couldn't get it running right. And a modern method that uses neural networks instead of genetic algorithms but I haven't found any applications of it [3].

Corporations are organized to dilute responsibility.

In corporations, nobody knows what the other employees really do, nobody know where the decisions are coming from and why. Employees and managers make stupid decisions under pressure. You can find who is responsible legally but you’ll never grab the people who profit from the wrong culture they established that incentivize bad behaviors and punish employees that are just here to do their job.

In Old English "thou" is singular, "you" is plural.

As noted in Wikipedia:

> As William Tyndale translated the Bible into English in the early 16th century, he preserved the singular and plural distinctions that he found in his Hebrew and Greek originals. He used thou for the singular and ye for the plural regardless of the relative status of the speaker and the addressee. Tyndale's usage was standard for the period and mirrored that found in the earlier Wycliffe's Bible and the later King James Bible.

Later, presumably due to French influence, "thou" became informal and "you" formal.

Finally "thou" was dropped from everyday speech, though it still shows up in various old phrases.

> Between TikTok and IG, only one of them has a "STEM" feed; and it's unclear why its the CCP trying to push more US kids into STEM.

It's very simple: Chinese — including but not limited to the CCP — value education, especially in science and technology.

Things make a more sense if people stop looking for nefarious reasons behind everything and stop looking at China as some sort of world-devouring boogeyman.

I'm Chinese.

Not sure if you mean difficult politically or technically. Politically I have no answers, but technically, I assume that you would not need that many fines that wipe out shareholder equity, most of corporate debt and all of board/C-suite wealth before corporations would take law seriously. I think there are states that are fond of three strikes and out type laws, maybe those could be applied to corps as well?

Have you never say "no, I don't care about it" when asked such a question? I say that a lot of times, and get that from users all the time too.

The thing is, you can't confuse a "yes" with the user actually wanting it. But there are plenty of ideas that everybody clearly do not want, and people will answer you a "no" if you ask.
It’s not just trying to make it fun - a lot of teachers just don’t know the material well enough to teach it. My daughter’s English teacher (in a highly regarded high school) taught them that “Wherefore art thou Romeo?” was archaic English for “Where are you?” because Juliet didn’t know where he was (like “Wherefore are my car keys?”, he said). If the teacher doesn’t understand one of the most famous and most important lines in one of Shakespeare’s most read and most taught plays, how will the students ever learn to understand it?
Is a possible other problem that everyone created social media with incredibly diluted messaging. Every brand had to post multiple times a day for things that seemed pretty worthless.

As pointed out in replies, GPT-4 does well with RPS. However I have not encountered a single other model that consistently understands the game logic, so for me it's a litmus test for models claiming to compete with GPT-4.
FWIW in the UK I was able to get a MRI the next day when going private. They even gave me a CD with the images.

They would have even done it the same day but I wasn't available.

I suspect in the NHS I wouldn't have even got a MRI at all (it was for a mildish running injury to my knee and just needed some physio in the end, so MRI seemed like overkill!)
Something being illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
if apple had gone bankrupt he'd have started his own company. his best accomplishment was with UI and actually giving a fuck about the end user. thats not brilliant or genius. Actually having empathy for the user was such a novel concept in computing that it drove him to the top, even though he lacked empathy for anyone around him. His other notable accomplishments were negotiating with the record companies to license iTunes music. I would love to have been a fly on the wall for those conversations. Without a critical mass of licensing, iPod would have never happened. his glory for iPhone is nonsense, it would have happened within a year or 2 anyway as electronics matured.
Also doesn’t say it happened to a Phillips machine, my read is that’s for any MRI machine - ever.

So, yeah, a recall, but nothing ominous about it. Things get recalled all the time.
The actual visa renewal fee is only JPY4000 (for full-time employees, spending one of your limited days off going down to the immigration office stings a lot more than the monetary cost). If you want to pay an advisor to prepare the documents that will cost more, but you probably don't need to do that if it's a straight renewal where nothing's changed.

> Also, is it possible to apply for permanent residence after a certain number of years?

10 years generally; there's also a fast-track points system. (You can also naturalize after 5 years, but you have to renounce any other citizenships for that).
Funny. I was actually able to control myself in Facebook/Twitter (I had veeeery few discussions there, even peaceful ones were rare), but the problem was the increasing amount of arguing I was seeing, especially thanks to the algorithmic timeline.

It was making me feel like shit even when I wasn't participating. Even when I stopped liking stuff it was visible that it was fucking with my mental health. Walking away from reading two people arguing completely drains my energy.

Reddit is not that different. I don't have an account and just go there to get updated on my favourite hobby, but even that will show me a lot of people arguing and things getting heated, and it makes me a bit anxious after reading.

Mastodon is going in the same direction IMO. It is a bit of an echo chamber the people I follow (I don't mind this tbh), but 60% of the things that get going are fucking powderkegs where a single disagreement becomes too heated. I've seen people piling on others because of opinions I agree, and vicariously reading makes me feel like shit.

I'm perfectly fine with conflict and with discussions, but it doesn't really work for me when lots of topics are treated as if it was as high-stakes as we do online.

I like your attitude a lot. Others look at this and see sand depleting, or boxes unfilled with any achievements. You see your cup filling up.
Actually Japan is significantly lower cost to live than to live in SF. The average salary of a college grad that’s 30 years old is roughly $30K. Their prices are roughly the same because wages are the same, and they can’t afford to increase prices without causing huge systemic problems. As long as you’re not eating kaiseki or expensive sushi, Japan is absurdly cheap from USD standpoint, especially with recent exchange rates. 1 bedroom apartment might only cost you $600/month in more remote parts of Tokyo. A very filling yakitori meal might only be 1000 yen ($7-8) per person.
So "slightly banned" then. ;)

I feel that it's the kind of argument you devise when you think language is the fundamental basis of reality rather than a (flawed) way to model it. There are many logical deductions you can make that only tell you things about language, but nothing about reality.
It was binning, pure and simple. Microsoft wanted to charge more for server workloads, so they did.

Of course what's happened since is the rise of consumer grade NT systems starting with Windows XP. So these days they bundle a lot of crudware with consumer Windows that they don't with the server editions.

> Why not?

Because weekly pickup is expensive to run.

In most places you pay for your weekly pickup one way or another. There’s no way people are going to vote for or approve an additional weekly pickup charge for something they dispose of very infrequently.

There are many stores with battery drop offs. If you really want to make a dent, put the battery recycling drop offs in grocery stores and put signage around it.

Routine pickup would be more hassle: You’d need to figure out the bins, the pickup method, the scheduling, etc. It’s really terrible for anything that isn’t both large and steady, like your waste bin.

Or, we collectively decide that it’s unlikely scandals of this scope did not previously pass the CEO’s desk at some point in the timeline and start with penalties at the top, and then move down the line.

My argument can be expanded to the fact that if a “rogue underling” did this without C-level input that leadership at the company is negligent at the least, or attempting to abstract responsibility and hide the issue behind deniability at the worst.

Addendum: I should have picked a better phrase to start with. I agree that the legal process is the correct way to proceed, but once a determination of culpability is made, hiding behind layers of leadership should not be the defacto norm.

I’m glad to have the opportunity to give feedback: your app and website design aesthetic really makes you stand out from most of the “popular Mac app” authors (you know who you are), which have a very much Web1.0 look and feel (and many of these rockstars have been writing for the platform that long).
