A more accurate way to say it would be, as the last ice age ended societies that were built on participatory economies were completely destroyed by organizations that behaved based on domination patterns.

This is well documented in Rianne Eisler’s seminal 1987 book “the chalice and the blade” and is also well described by the Strauss-Howe theory of the four turnings, etc. there’s plenty of documentation on this.

I think what frustrates people is when they’re confronted with this type of data because it’s so conflicts with Neoliberal historical views. This is why Howard Zinn had to write “a peoples history” and other such books. These demonstrably show that the contemporary, modern explanation of growth and prosperity is only written from the perspective of those who did the dominating. This is a trope at this point, We know “this the Victors write the history” yet even if we know this, we still completely ignore it.
You are, but it's set to 10% by default.. I've talked to a few drivers and they say it's not uncommon to get no tip (though obviously it sucks). I usually try to hit around 10%, as best I can (though I've been unemployed for a while now and am struggling to even afford that)
Too cheap for "American nuclear" to compete.

Chinese nuclear can compete just fine.
you might be able to refinance if rates drop - it is not a guarantee.

If you overpay for a house, and then you owe more than it appraises for around the time you want to refinance, you are going to have a very hard time taking advantage of lower interest rates, unless you are also in a position to also pay down the mortgage as part of the re-fi.

It's indeed not a lot. At a great cost. That kind of is the point. Nuclear is very costly.

Solar, wind, battery storage, and other cheap alternatives are indeed being rolled out at a plural orders of magnitude larger scale.
Idiot-proof tooling helps non-idiots, whereas idiots may not by definition be helped in any way.

I know the internal representation of integers and floats and I know how important that knowledge is. I reverse-engineered a gnarly bug in a codebase just last month using it. I'd still rather my programming language have 10*100 resolve to the actually correct answer rather than undefined behavior.

I have written production code with pthreads, but I'd still rather use async if realistic for the task at hand.

I know how to manage my own memory but I'd still rather use a GC'd language if realistic for the task at hand.

I know how to write queries directly to the postgres socket, but I'd still rather use a proper client.

I know how to write code in vi but I'd still rather write code in jetbrains.

Where does the fascination for not using proper tools come from? I'm reminded of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I_Ds2ytz4o
Defo learn another language as it will help selling yourself as well as giving you a better balance. Python and JavaScript are probably the most accessible. If you’ve been developing web apps I’d sticky to that but with a different language. In your shoes I’d learn JavaScript just because you can use it on front and back end. AWS is more important when you start deploying stuff but most companies have ops/devops doing that. Focus on the language side first. Forget AI for now. NodeJS is defo worth learning.

Well, I think most countries in the area want the land (or wouldn't mind having it, if it was given to them). I've seen some estimates of 1.7 billion barrels of oil in Gaza. I doubt any of the neighboring countries would turn that down.

The issue is nobody wants the people.
The wealth doesn’t enable it, it simply pays for the consequences. Plenty of poor and middle class people who willingly put others in harms way every day (DUIs, distracted driving, etc), they just have nothing to take or minimal wealth to confiscate for doing so.

You’re mad at Elon for letting the robot take the wheel, but he can pay for the harm you think he’s causing (real or not). 26% of Floridians have no auto insurance, for example. Creditor law protects their homes and retirement accounts (without limit in most cases!) from seizure (if applicable). When they cause harm (intentionally, willingly, or otherwise), the counterparty is simply fucked. What are we going to do about those people? Same as Elon: nothing. At least FSD hasn’t killed anyone like your average human driver does every day.

I don’t condone the risk appetite, but I understand it.

A little of A, B, and C.

A) Idealistic voters with little interest in detail or execution.

B) Hard working state employees executing in an ineffective way because they are working on over constrained problems with conflicting and sometime impossible goals.

C) A number of opportunists that take advantage of poor rulemaking and bureaucratic disorganization.

For what it is worth, I dont think corruption is a major driver of problems, but bad policy detached from the practical considerations.

One simple example is SF parks maintenance:

The city wants to keep invasive species out, so it has staff to remove them. The city also believes in livable wages, so the workers make >100K. Residents dont like pesticides, so the workers must hand weed. Hand weeding doesnt work, so the City periodically also pays outside consultants to come in and take care of the invasives (with pesticides and low paid workers).
You already have the login and database systems though. And who cares if someone mods or hacks the game; you were going to abandon it. If people are still having fun, you've added some incremental happiness to the world. If an OS vendor breaks your game that you otherwise would've abandoned, that sounds like something the users should take up with the OS vendor (really, it's something the users should take up with the OS vendor regardless, but if you've already decided you're done supporting it, that definitely applies). Or on PC they can avoid patching/"upgrading".

Basically, unless someone takes control of your servers or other players, if the alternative is to shut it down, why not just leave as-is and not maintain/support it? If an impactful exploit is found, then shut it down. Preemptively shutting it down because the experience might degrade is silly; shutting it down will definitely break it.

I attempt to answer that in my paper you can read:

https://kemendo.com/Myth-of-Scarcity.html

Answer: The idea of property which leads to agriculture arises consequent with the loss of megafauna. So a massive loss of available calories requires a complete reorganization of society in effect, and as those losses spread around the globe as humans also spread around the globe. Simultaneously you have to develop compensatory mechanisms for calories hence agriculture.
I think you’re skipping over the problem.

In your example you owned the work you gave to the person to create derivatives of.

In a more accurate example you would be stealing those books and then giving them to someone else to create derivatives.

Thanks for the warning. To spare the next reader, here’s a direct link to the primary source—

—and the key quote from the abstract:

We studied sleep using non-invasive EEG […] Surprisingly, slow-wave activity decreased not only during NREM sleep but also during rumination. […] Reindeer spent less time in NREM sleep the more they ruminated. These results suggest that they can sleep during rumination. The ability to reduce sleep need during rumination—undisturbed phases for both sleep recovery and digestion—might allow for near-constant feeding in the arctic summer.

It is not. This kind of ideas is the remnant of the “bad air” theory of diseases propagation, which is not actually a thing and was displaced by germ theory at some point in the 19th century. People clung on to this belief because why not (and there was money to be made bringing rich people to countryside or seaside resorts) but there is no real rational justification. That’s not to say that the atmosphere cannot be harmful locally, but the seaside is not particularly healthy.
I’ve also heard it said that “apparent” intelligence is good enough to be called “real” intelligence if it’s indistinguishable from the real thing. That’s where I have a strong feeling that we’re missing the true meaning of intelligence, reasoning and consciousness.

As you said, we may very well be a couple iterations away from a chatbot that is truly indistinguishable from a human, but I still strongly assert that even a perfectly coherent chatbot is nothing more than an automaton and we humans are not automatons.

The fact that a couple replies in this thread made me feel defensive and a bit discouraged with their condescending tone is to me an internal reaction that an LLM or similar system will never have. Maybe an appropriate emotional reaction can be calculated and simulated, but I think the nature of the experience itself is truly beyond our current comprehension.

Maybe I’m grasping at the metaphysical to rationalize my fear that we’re on the cusp of understanding consciousness… and it turns out to be pretty boring and will be included with Microsoft O365 in a couple years.
Sometimes the history is “your account was pretty new so when you posted something a lot of people didn’t like we assumed you were a troll, banned, and never looked again”.
Although RH terminates the contract, they cannot stop you from using and redistributing what you got out of them, or even creating your own fork of RH.

They don't want to pay their engineers to work on Red Hat only to have some free forks follow the work, so they came up with the idea of eliminating and likely blacklisting customers who look like are there just to pick up changes for a fork.

Red Hat should be applauded for trying to find a business model which is compatible with copyleft, yet prevents freeloading.

Stallman never wanted to create a license that was anti-business, that's why this kind of thing is possible. A license which says you cannot drop or blacklist customers for any reason wouldn't be a free license.

There is an abundance of distros out there; anyone who doesn't like Red Hat for any reason can easily use something else.

It will be interesting to see whether Red Hat's ploy works out in the long run. Will it help grow their business, or will it turn out to be detrimental due to a backlash effect. Obviously, some people don't like it; it's a question of are there enough of them to matter.

There is also the question of whether a free fork of Red Hat that people can develop and test with without becoming paying Red Hat customers really is bad for Red Hat (as they are obviously convinced) or whether it is actually good.
What's wrong with paying copyright holders, then? If OpenAI's models are so much more valuable than the sum of the individual inputs' values, why can't the company profit off that margin?

>That’s like a person having to pay a little bit of money to all of their teachers and mentors and everyone they’ve learned from every time they benefit from what they learned.

I could argue that public school teachers are paid by previous students. Not always the ones they taught, but still. But really, this is a very new facet of copyright law. It's a stretch to compare it with existing conventions, and really off to anthropomorphize LLMs by equating them to human students.

Is there a decent guess at how much training data for ChatGPT is copyrighted work and subject to being removed depending on a few court cases?

Ah, I see I missed the context of your initial reply. If one's goal is to learn low-level languages, starting from C isn't such a bad choice (though I would still suggest moving away when possible).

But I (mistakenly) thought we were talking about designing a language. And for this I have a point: coming up with something like C in 2023 would be unacceptable. We know better now.

Sorry about the non-sequitur.

The engineers didn't invent the tech in their garage on their own, though. And I don't know if your narrative reflects the reality, but if it is, "creating" the same product for a different company even when you know that the product is patent-protected is ethically questionable. My position would be different if they launched a start-up based on the tech.
> it's one of those things that are possible but not provable - agriculture might have exist 100K years ago. Same thing for writing - it was independently discovered "recently" - could it have been discovered many times in the last 300K years that we don't know about?

It is very much provable, the same way we've proven agriculture's existence in the last 10K years (I haven't seen the number 20K?). We find evidence. Despite lots of looking, nobody has found evidence.

Lots of things 'might' be true; that's exactly the issue science addresses. 'Might' is worthless; lead 'might' be transmutable into gold, disease might be caused by an imbalance of four humors that might exist, the stars might be campfires of dead ancestors.

Evidence is required, and that method works out to theories that stand the test of time - things that are true, not might be true.

If someone paid me to study cancer and I discovered a cure, I'd give it away with or without credit. Who cares?

If someone takes my software and uses it, cool. If they credit me, cool. If they don't, oh well. I'd still code.

Not everything needs to be ego driven. As long as the cancer researcher (and the future robots working alongside them) can make a living, I really don't think it matters whether they get credit outside their niches.

I have no idea who invented the CT scanner, Xray machines, the hyperdermic needle, etc. I don't really care. It doesn't really do me any good to associate Edison with light bulbs either, especially when LEDs are so much better now. I have no idea who designs the cars I drive. I go out of my way to avoid cults of personality like Tesla.

Seems to me the people saying solar and battery only future do not live in areas that can be cloudy for multiple weeks.

I didn’t run the math but I’m guessing it’s not feasible to build a battery pack large enough to ride out winter in some areas. The SF Bay Area, sure, but I suspect blackouts will be common in solar+battery only areas.

A preferred solution would be a mix of both with nuclear handling disruptions due to weather.

One technology for power generation should not “win”. Employing a variety of power generation methods will give you the most stable power grid.
Ironically these artists cant claim to be wholly original as they were certainly inspired. Artists that play live already "lobotomize" people on their way out since it's not easy to recreate an experience and a video isn't the same if it's a good show.

Artists that make easily reproducible art will circulate as these always have along with AI in a sea of other jpgs.
Perhaps, but so far in the US we still don't have any really large battery storage facilities connected to the grid. These will be necessary if want to have reliable base load capacity without building more nuclear or fossil fuel power plants. The largest battery storage facility being built right now only has 2165 MWh of capacity, which is a drop in the bucket relative to demand.

https://www.nsenergybusiness.com/projects/edwards-sanborn-so...

Battery prices keep falling, but the supply chain is still constrained and there are huge expenses involved in building storage facilities that go beyond the cost of the cells. Other storage systems such as pumped hydroelectric or electrolyzed hydrogen may play a role but aren't cheap either.
Nah, I also like my products as cheap as possible. As do you (if I can guess). Hey, aren't we all good members of this capitalistic system?

Sadly the masses will vote for their near-term interest and not to avoid +3 degree C catastrophe they haven't paid attention about, which is anyway "many many years in the future".
Nuclear might not be able to compete in the U.S. and Europe, but that’s largely because of a ridiculous regulatory regime and has very little to do with the actual tech.

I see the term “rest and vest” used in the media a lot for a scenario that doesn't align with my understanding of the term.

Here the article says that long time employees who are coasting are doing “rest and vest”.

But, I always thought this referred specifically to employees of a startup after being acquired by a big company. Like, they worked hard pre acquisition, and after the vesting period is over they will go to another startup, but in between they “rest and vest”.

We need two things:

- Energy diversification

That includes nuclear, solar, and even more fossil fuels as we wean ourselves off of them.

Writing off any form of energy is ideological, not practical.

If the number of different knobs is is sufficient to make it impossible that any one person could try all the combinations, manipulating the knobs could be an art. You could imagine eg cooking using that method.
They are subject to a regulatory ratchet that almost guarantees that you won't make a profit. I.e. if a new safety measure becomes "economically feasible" because you increased cost efficiency somewhere else then regulators would adjust their calculations in the future and make additional requirements because they would now be feasible. This can even lead to requirements changing during the construction time of a plant and require expensive retrofits.
