>higher rates than before (welcome hookup culture)

Got any source to back that up? All surveys I have seen point to younger generations having less sex, fewer relationships, and even just drinking less than their ancestors. Remember, the boomers were the "free love" hippies and then STDs became a serious concern, and we decided we should warn kids about consequences of sex.
> maybe I'm cynical but I think it's selecting for moderately or reasonably dishonest, the dishonesty of the median

I feel like that's accurate. After all, I did describe it as "fairly" dishonest, not "very" or "extremely" dishonest.

Lying on personality tests is definitely an average, socially expected amount of dishonesty.
It was modeled after “deep work” sessions I have participated in the past (with non-colleagues) where saying what I worked on at the end was a useful reflection and to get in the habit of not (e.g.) getting sucked into responding to an email that came in during the session. I can understand the skepticism of it, but the value is in writing them not in reading them. It's not required and some people don't do it.
dispatch-conf is a more advanced version of this.
> unions challenge businesses (power to hire/fire).

Which is kind of the problem with unions. If they stuck to negotiating pay levels while leaving businesses free to hire and fire who they see fit I think employers would be much more willing to work with them. Higher salary expenses are much less damaging to a business than not being able to fire incompetent workers.
I've worked jobs where I'm paid 60-80k and where I'm paid 100k plus.

I can tell you for sure I cared much less about the job where I wasn't getting paid as much. I would never answer an after work call or go out of my way to follow up organizational or systemic issues. For me working overtime is part of the package when I get paid loads more.
A few other cities I've been to also have extensive pedestrian subway systems / skyway systems:

Rochester MN: https://www.experiencerochestermn.com/planning-tools/getting...

Taipei Taiwan: https://pqvst.com/2023/05/28/taipei-underground/

New York NY near the World Trade Center: (can't find an up-to-date map or article)

Hong Kong near Central area: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/architecture-design...

They are great as a way to avoid extreme weather on the surface (cold in Rochester's and New York's case, hot in Taipei's and Hong Kong's case) and car traffic.

Hong Kong takes things a step further in that it's actually hard to get around at ground level. Many streets don't have pedestrian crossings and there are barriers to prevent jaywalking. I'm not a fan honestly.
As is, the bill is not fair to small players. It encourages ventures to use existing models by big players to escape the regulatory burden of "safety", leading to a state-encouraged oligopoly. It also uses compute and benchmarks as the measuring stick for regulation, which can be easily gamed - and already is being gamed. Instead, the application plugged into the AI needs to be regulated. Does the application run afoul of the safety goals of the bill? Then restrict the application, not the model itself.

What do you mean by social pressure ?
It is really scary that peoples' perceptions of reality seem to be getting less accurate over time, especially in regards to important issues like crime levels and the health of the economy.

The success of democracy depends on people being able to elect effective representatives, and if people can't even accurately perceive what's happening around them in the world right now then I just don't see how we can expect people to make remotely informed decisions at the voting booth :-(

If I had to guess, I feel like this problem is stemming from social media, both due to it spreading misinformation and due to it acting as an echo chamber that amplifies negative sentiments in general. I don't know if this is really what's going on though or if there's some other explanation for this phenomenon. I wish there was something I could do.
As other folks have commented, CUDA not being an open standard is a large part of the problem. That and the developers who target CUDA directly when writing Stable Diffusion algorithms—they are forcing the monopoly. Even at the cost of not being able to squeeze every ounce out of the GPU, portability greatly improves software access when people target Vulkan et al.
> (Aside: should the guys who drive an armored car that carries millions of dollars in bonds get paid more than the guys that drive an armored car that only carries thousands of dollars in cash? Does the amount of money handled change the difficult of the work?)

Possibly, yes. The amount of money handled might affect the likelihood of a heist, and the required preparedness of the robbers. Which in turn requires more skilled drivers facing a higher risk.

That aside was an unnecessary bad tangent which undermines the point.
I think distributors of pornography have been consulted on this per their recent changes. No one wants to be wrapped up with revenge porn legality issues. The forms, trivial date revocation, post-consent revocation, detection, and such would reduce the number of distributors.

Title is sensational though because there are many willing people to give their consent in exchange for money at any given time. I don’t think the bill is intended to remove porn but it will be a nice side effect temporarily for the religious types. It is to allow sex workers to have capabilities to have content removed.

“A measure like the PROTECT Act might help stop the spread of nonconsensual porn on mainstream, U.S.-based platforms (though such images could still spread freely through private communication channels and underground platforms). But it would do this at the cost of a ton of protected speech and consensual creations.”

I don't know why people obsess about ritualising this stuff. Just have a todo list and put dates on stuff and train yourself to pick up tasks off it properly. I'm just using Apple Reminders. Is on my phone and mac. Works with Siri.

I think Discord gets the UX right:

Default state is mic active. There’s no slash through the mic, when you speak (and it’s above the noise cancellation threshold) you’ll get a green indicator on your name in the participant list. Press mute, you get a slash through the mic and you get the same indicator, in red, next to your name in the participant list. So in many ways they do both.
> Beyond some amount the absolute amount of money really stops to matter

At national monetary scales, sure, because more spending would be inflationary thereby decreasing one’s spending power. So call it a trillion dollars or so. Not a practically relevant cap.
Is it? I don't feel particularly sad.

There's nothing to be sad or happy about it. It is just a fact of life. Like gravity.
> Well, then I guess CUDA is not really the problem

It is. All the things are the problem. AMD is behind on both hardware and software, for both gaming and compute workloads, and has been for many years. Their competitor has them beat in pretty much every vertical, and the lock-in from CUDA helps ensure that even if AMD can get their act together on the hardware side, existing compute workloads (there are oceans of existing workloads) won’t run on their hardware, so it won’t matter for professional or datacenter usage.

To compete with Nvidia in those verticals, AMD has to fix all of it. Ideally they’d come out with something better than CUDA, but they have not shown an aptitude for being able to do something like that. That’s why people keep telling them to just make a compatibility layer. It’s a sad place to be, but that’s the sad place where AMD is, and they have to play the hand they’ve been dealt.
My zigbee devices are the best part of my smart home setup (with home assistant). They always work, battery life is ridiculous, and they’re interoperable. Have only had issues with one motion detector from a brand that has otherwise been rock solid. If I had only known about zigbee before I swore off smart home tech (instead of wifi and proprietary hubs) the last time I tried I would have had a lot more fun!
Yeah, it was modeled after doing an in-person session like that and realizing that I liked it. Nobody is forced to do it, but by doing it over Slack they are aware that it's happening and know to expect not to expect an immediate response from those participating.

“If Congress at some point is able to pass a strong pro-innovation, pro-safety AI law. . . . "

With AI this seems like an untenable position. We already have companies that are pushing the bounds with AI constantly and ever further, while telling us we shouldn't worry about the future dystopian implications.

Trying to reign these people and companies in with government regulation at this point doesn't seem feasible.
The question of whether light is a particle or a wave dates back to at least Newton (who thought it was a particle) and Hyugens (who thought it was a wave). By the end of the 19th century, before Einstein brought up the photoelectric effect, the consensus opinion was pretty firmly on the "wave" side of the dispute, and apparently Planck was not an outlier.

So you're arguing you can allocate capital inefficiently and it's not a problem. I disagree. Capital should be allocated fairly so those who are doing the work stay motivated and those who are not doing anything aren't disproportionately rewarded.

> That means around the world, millions of people are motivated to the tune of nearly a trillion dollars to ensure that the system continues to not only keep working, but grow more valuable.

I guess I'm asking why this isnt valuable? It seems like a large portion of the world has agreed to trade assets in USD and assign various values of there assets to the value of USD, and much smaller portion of the world has agreed to do the same with BTC, so the differences is that you have to pay your taxes with one and you dont with the other?
No it definitely has gotten worse. Notably, almost every comment and post I make gets interactions from bots right away. That never used to happen before. These bots are not following me.

Also from analysis I have seen, hate speech has gone up significantly. This makes sense since there are no moderators. Twitter has recently decided to hire a substantial new group of people to rebuild a moderation team, because they truly did cut too many people there.
The part of pomodoro that's supposed to help you start is the limited time period. Many people find it much easier to undertake something if they know it's only for 25 minutes. If 25 minutes still seems daunting, by all means pick a lower number.

What a tone-deaf article.

- Salary is absolutely the key factor when people pick jobs. The difference between a fun hobby and a great job is that you get paid a lot to do the latter.

- Here he's saying that companies should create a buzz around jobs; but having good feelings about your low-paid job doesn't help you nearly as much as just having lots of extra new wealth.

- Saying that because high-end employees are far beyond the "buying food" stage of Maslow's Hierarchy means more money is unnecessary is just brain-dead. Economic growth anyone? More money = good.

- High pay is a great way for companies like Google to prevent competition. Why risk starting a business when you can earn a million bucks every couple of years working for them?

- High CEO pay is absolutely not a problem. If a top CEO increases a company's market cap by billions, and is only paid tens of millions, then what a waste of time and emotional energy it is to fixate on the tens of millions.

I can't believe this character is actually advocating for lower salaries.
Why would the insurance care what you tell the police?
Two notes.

The first is for fun. See the miniature lasso that he used? It is easy to tie one out of a long blade of grass and catch lizards that way. The trick is that they've been adapted to ignore grass as a non-threat. So when they're about to be captured by a piece of grass, they literally can't see the grass. You have to remain far enough away, but you can bonk the lizard on the nose, pull your grass back, readjust and try, try again until you get it. It's a great trick to show kids!

The second is that no mechanism is needed to revert a temporarily selected trait. Francis Galton was the first to document regression to the mean in inheritance. The child of two tall parents tends to be not as tall. The child of two short parents tend to be not as short.

The reason this happens is that the recessives that influence the one parent's trait are often different from the recessives for the other parent. Therefore the child winds up expressing fewer recessives than either parent.

What this means is that if you select for a given complex trait in a given generation, those who survive will have that trait. But unless you also select for it in the next generation, the population will mostly revert back on its own. It is only regular selection, sustained over time, which causes the selected for trait to breed true.
That would effectively kill software patents. Which is a fine outcome.
Hot water beach, NZ north Island. The battle of the Somme being fought by grannies and wee kids with plastic spades and beach buckets in a 50m wide stretch of the sand, on a beach.

Brazil Hits 92% Renewable Energy Milestone
California is also dysfunctionally Democratic (big "D") in that all elected state level offices have gone to Democrats for the last several election cycles. Because the Republican Party has imploded and third parties have failed to gain traction we now live in a single party state. Politicians are selected by Democratic Party leaders and are no longer accountable to voters in any meaningful way.

This problem isn't particular to the Democratic Party. Other states now have single party Republican governments with similar levels of dysfunction and corruption.
I’m not in the US so, YMMV, but in France, I subscribed a "legal insurance".

It will cover enough fees to at least give you enough insight about what is happening, if you should defend your case, if you are faulty or if you should just ignore the threat.

Also, even if our judiciary system isn’t perfect, I doubt you will find a judge that wouldn’t be comprehensive of a random being attacked by a corporation. Especially if there is no obvious malicious intent or personal benefit, you only risk some symbolic fine and the order to stop.

So, I would probably ask for judiciary advice and either ignore or comply to the troll.
I fill a daily page of rocketbook planner as the day goes by (and in the morning).

I almost never revisit the scans of these pages I fill daily (but i take dedicated separate notes when needed). Using the planner helps me to track time and to be productive as the day unfolds so the purpose is very much the same as the pomodoro.

For me it works much better than pomodoro which is imo too much about micromanaging productivity and too little about the big picture (which matters the most in the end of the day).

Your point 2 is suspiciously close to the trickle down economy hypothesis which doesn’t work - I mean yes they spend that money but they spend both absolutely and relatively much more on point 1.

Also, I have serious doubts that buying assets fights inflation. It’s only true if the money ends up locked in some central bank account, otherwise someone else gets it and can spend it on goods or services instead of different financial assets.
I'm with Hendry, the guy who said the paradox is an illusion. I figured it was rapid change within a stable envelope within a few sentences of starting the article, but I waited for the other shoe to drop, because there must be something trickier if people have spent so much time on it ... It turns out the other shoe is "but now we have data about the details". Which is good, but nowhere near as dramatic as they make it out to be. You can see the outline of the solution just by thinking about the question for a second.

Pomodoro never worked for me since I work best when I get into flow and keep going for 1 to 4 hours. What I have found helps is planning as much as possible up front and dedicating time to do so. I braindump everything then when that’s exhausted I rewrite it in a structured way and add detail, breaking it up into sections and gathering resources I need, then I make an exhaustive todo list of tiny steps in chronological order and I mean really tiny steps with concrete outcomes. Then when I start working I just follow the plan and since I’m very familiar with it by this point I don’t have to refer back to it all the time but I do make sure to check it in order to stay on track usually when I reach a point where I’m uncertain of what to do next. I also add to the document when necessary.
