Most subjects taught in K-12 tend to be ancient: language, math, history, science, music, etc. with occasional modern electives.

Obviously personal finance is also ancient on some level, but I wonder how long it's actually been so complicated and critical as to warrant consideration for being taught in school. I'm no expert, but I think the complexities like payment cards, insanely complex tax code, etc. are quite modern. On the other hand, the same could be said for driver's ed which is pretty common.
We bought a new car last April. We also had XM radio about fifteen years ago. Much like GP comment, we will never sign up for SiriusXM ever again, so much so that we didn't even bother with the "free" six month subscription with new car purchase...because I don't want to do deal with canceling, or deal with anything to do with SiriusXM. I'll sing a cappella at the top of my lungs before I'll be so desperate as to turn on SiriusXM.

That's right, SiriusXM can't even give us their service, that's much they poisoned that water well.

In The Prince, Machiavelli describes the use of settlers to exert indirect control over an area. One benefit of this approach is that the values and attitudes of the settlers will spread to or exert influence over the locals. At the very least, it destabilizes the existing order.

If a group doesn't assimilate, it looks like a ghetto or a "colony". Settling, on the other hand, is inherently about control.
Yes, If you look at the power efficiency of the brain relative to LLMs, you can see nature has done something special, and I don’t think we should be so quick to call it game over. It might be that LLMs are just some atom or building block of a much larger and more complex thing.

I worked my way up, I'm 41 and working non-stop since I was 12 receiving a check as a paperboy. Worked at tire shops, autobody, whatever you can imagine. Before I was a paperboy, I ground down spot welding tips in my dad's shop to buy my toys and video games. Worked night shifts during community college and university. Fully qualified for SS in my 20s. Never a dollar from mommy and daddy. I haven't even received a Christmas or birthday gift in 20 years.

Developer now (a career mistake honestly), but back then I would've never had any subscriptions. Can't imagine being back in those shoes and having the TIME to fully utilize Netflix, Spotify etc.

My advice is if you're in that position, work more. Study more or work more. Trying to avoid it with some escape like watching Netflix is not productive and only makes things worse.

When I was in college, I kept a strict schedule. Classes from 9AM-1PM, work from 2PM-7PM, 7PM-12:30AM I was in the library studying until it closed. My grades suffered but there wasn't any time for TV. I simply cannot imagine getting ahead NOT doing this, and sitting on Spotify or Netflix instead. Almost scary, guaranteed way to remain a dud. But I'm sure it's common. Given life is harder now than it was 50 years ago, I'm sure the lack of effort + lazy ways is why everyone thinks times are so tough. If times are tough, we need to become tough.

For me, that life was satisfying. I needed no "escape", as I liked and struggle to remain productive today and feel more than ever the need for an escape. I often tell people my hobby is "survival". Fixing my truck, reviewing/fine tuning my finances, working on my house, strategizing for life. The issue isn't not enough time watching Youtube. It's that I'm not productive enough.

Doubly true for the "downtrodden" poor. It's just that most of them are not the forgotten men, the abandoned hardy stock from the upper midwest that know what it takes to get ahead. They've been groomed to complain and sulk instead. It's a lot easier. When I meet these people I ask them, "have you done your best for the Lord?". They have everything they need, breath in their lungs. All I ever needed. It's disrespectful to Our Lord and Master Jesus Christ to not do our best in life. Once I see these people exhaust all possible options to improve their condition, then I'll give them a handout and sympathy. Till then, no Netflix, more work. Or suffer, whatever is preferred.

I would argue the holdup right now is long term memory. GPTs already have the ability to rapidly generalize and incorporate new knowledge within the context window. The trick is to retain what it has learned.

It won’t take a very long time to fix that.

This is model I trained with a fine tuning technique based on this idea. The training dataset consists of instructions like “Talk like a pirate”. The concept generalized well and the model responds in the style of a pirate far more consistently than an equivalent system prompt.

https://huggingface.co/valine/OpenPirate

Offloading context learning into the model weights frees you from the computation and memory burden of the attention mechanism. I expect a technique like this will probably be a piece of AGI someday.
See, I used to buy into this reasoning, but now, I'm not so sure.

You can easily say the same thing about someone who does work a high-tech job. You make so much money you stop looking at your bank accounts. There are so many new grads or even late 20s professionals who barely manage their finances beyond 1-2 months. I would argue middle-class folks manage the idea of a "6 month emergency fund" a lot better than those in high-tech who make 200k+ a year and just don't think about money anymore.

I think the right reasons are:

- folks don't know how to do this (literally what does it means to review your statements and check your accounts + what to look for)

- folks do not understand how manageable it can be once you spend the initial activation energy

- last and maybe most controversial, folks don't have the ability to make it a habit (which then causes every few months for it to become a big hurdle).

Difference, but no contradiction. But I also fail to see deeper meaning in this exchange.
"Most places have segments in their contract that state if you do a chargeback or block a payment, they will terminate your account, and payment providers can block that card from being used on their service in the future." Also, depending on the agreement, you can be sent to collections (gym memberships are notorious for this).

The chargeback doesn't supersede the vendor's control of access to the service or potential legal/debt obligations.

A subscription service is an agreement between a consumer and a business, where the consumer agrees to provide money in exchange for access to some service. That service might be something that they regularly receive, e.g. meal kits, or it might be something that they can choose to access, e.g. Spotify. In the former case, where there is a definite agreement that some item will be delivered, I agree with you; not providing that is fraudulent. It looks like you're talking about the latter case, though, and I starkly disagree there.

First, it is not the responsibility of the business to ensure people use the product that the business sold them. Why should it be? This standard doesn't exist for companies providing physical products. Someone could order a meal kit subscription, and after receiving the food every week, they could choose to throw it straight in the trash. The company shouldn't offer someone a refund because they chose to throw away the food they sent. The same principle applies for digital subscriptions - the subscriber is choosing to throw away access to whatever service the business provides.

Second, I think it's worth pointing out that the principle underlying your argument, that it is the responsibility of the payee to ensure the payer gets what they pay for, logically contradicts salaried or waged work. The principle you've implied is consistent with all services being paid for piecemeal, since if nothing is produced, nothing was received. This implies cashiers should be paid per transaction, chefs should be paid per meal, baristas should be paid per cup, etc. Maybe you do think that - I can't possibly know. However, I doubt you would support a minimum-wage worker having to return a day's pay to their employer if no customers showed up that day. I think that's silly, because in the absence of active demand, the employee is still providing a service: their presence, and thus the ability to fulfill transactions if requested.

I also think what you're saying not only absolves consumers of their responsibility, but also strips from them any agency in the matter. This is not a problem requiring collective action, like climate change. This is a problem where the individual's actions are 100% capable of resolving it. In a world where lots of issues are out of the individual's control, why not empower people to control what they can? Cancelling unwanted subscriptions is a simple and effective way to avoid unwanted subscription fees, and is available to every subscription-holder. Arguing that businesses should resolve, to their own detriment, a problem that consumers create, and can easily resolve, doesn't make any sense to me.

Low conscientiousness is linked to anti-social behavior, blue-collared crimes, and crimes of passion,[3] as well as unemployment and homelessness.[19] Low conscientiousness and low agreeableness taken together are also associated with substance use disorders.[27] People low in conscientiousness have difficulty saving money and their risky borrowing practices make them fall prey to subprime and predatory lending more often than conscientious people. High conscientiousness is associated with more careful planning of shopping trips and less impulse buying of unneeded items.[19] Conscientiousness is positively correlated with business, white-collared, and premeditated criminal behavior.[28]

I’ve been using containers for decades on FreeBSD and Solaris, long before Linux ever caught on. And virtualisation even longer.

In fact I have fond memories of using the first version of VMWare (which was a literal emulator at that point because x86 didn’t support virtualisation back in 1999) to run Windows 2000 from Linux.

So, like the others who responded, I definitely know the difference between virtualisation and containerisation.
As a counterpoint, I feel like the belief that we can't get to AGI comes off as religion. It presupposes an ineffable quality that we posses that machines cannot. The argument that we have to fully understand something to build it doesn't hold water for me. I have made plenty of things where understanding the depths of what I had made took far more time and effort than building the thing in the first place.

It's always hard to predict the rate of progress, Most of the current optimism comes from how radically wrong predictions were for the capabilities of AI today. 10 years ago a lot of people would have put current AI capability as arriving well after 2050. The jump in progress may not be sustained, but it definitely places doubt on people confidently predicting slow progress.
That’s… not a refutation of my point.

AI/flight analogies are tired, but the OPs argument amounts to the equivalent of, before the Wright Brothers, proclaiming ‘there’s an inherent inability for humans to ever conceive of a way to engineer heavier than air flight’.

It’s a ‘man was never mean to fly, therefore heavier than air flight is impossible’ argument.
I have generally found that there's not that much relation between people's stated beliefs and their actual every-day behaviour. By and large, I do think their beliefs are genuine and heart-felt, and that they're not faking them. It's just that it doesn't really influence their daily behaviour all that much. Generally people are motivated by the incentives of the moment, emotion of the moment, and that kind of thing. I am no exception to this by the way.

People often assume that if someone has the "right set of beliefs" (whatever that "right set" is, which may or may not be religious) that they're also a good person. I'm not saying there is zero correlation for all people, but typically it's very small at best, if it even exists at all.

What exactly are the changes, or what will they be? Even this article is using qualifiers like "open up the possibility of dual citizenship".

> Dual nationality is usually only allowed for citizens of other EU countries or Switzerland, although it is permitted for other immigrants in certain exceptional cases.

Yes, but that's the law as it's been, 1 exception is e.g. one can't renounce one's Turkish citizenship, so Turks granted a German citizenship become dual citizens. As far as I've read the changes will apply to children born with dual citizenships, not adults who want to gain the German one, AFAIK they (if they're not EU/Swiss) still have to renounce their old citizenship when able to.

Edit: OK according to this[1] the AFAIK above no longer applies now.

This is exactly the problem I am talking about. Why is the first instinct to always externalize blame? Why is big government the default solution to everything? How about – if you are not getting value out of a subscription (that you signed up for), go and cancel it. And if you choose not to, don't blame the rest of the world for your money problems.
I'd suggest that silos are necessary as human communication bandwidth is limited. Everyone talking to everyone, all the time doesn't scale. The key is to create silos along natural "fault lines" such that less communication is required.

1. That's not necessarily a fact; I don't know that it's been established one way or the other. There may well be small variances in design at the hardware level

2. In a modern PC, firmware is a gigantic factor in how well an OS works on the hardware. See all the troubles with ACPI for a starting point. Even non-obvious things like fans depend greatly on firmware.[1]

In short, if you want to run Linux, buy a Linux computer, with support for as long as you plan on using it, from a company that supports Linux on the hardware.

If you don't, be prepared for random glitches due to the mismatch between OS and firmware.

Ask HN: Why does a car forget the time after changing the battery?
I understand that in a computer, the CMOS battery keeps track of time when the machine is unplugged.

When changing the battery on a car, how or why does it store things in ROM like mileage, radio settings, etc, but it doesn't keep the time? All sorts of settings about the car are saved to a DB of some sort, but never the time. It always needs to be set after the battery changes. Is there not a tiny CMOS-like battery that can be used in addition to the actual car-starting battery?

It's generous of you to assume that someone's religious affiliation would have any impact on how they conduct their professional lives.

It may be a bit more zoomed out than what you're looking for if you're specifically looking at philosophical treatments of the practice of engineering, but Andrew Feenberg's "Questioning Technology" is excellent introduction to the philosophy of technology, particularly exploring the interplay between technological constraint and political/economic/social drivers of its development.

"Philosophy of Technology" in general is a pretty rich field with a long history, and you might find more references in it than in engineering specifically.
