> The problem is that socialism doesn't scale without force.

Eh, not a problem unique to socialism, or devoid from capitalism.

The history of labor in the United States is rife with both socialist (well, maybe anarchist) bomb-throwers and rich capitalists hiring private armies to gun down striking workers.
I agree with 1. For 2, have they ever been a company big into research? They're very consumer focused and it can take time to integrate new tech into consumer products at scale. Especially the way Apple likes to do it: polished and seamlessly integrated into the rest of their ecosystem.
Very thankful for jfxr, I'm using it to create all the sound effects for my game.

I re-implemented his synthesizer in C++ so that the sound effects can be generated at runtime: https://github.com/pewpewlive/ppl-synth
The sound files are just Lua tables that specify the characteristics of the sound effects, like so:

sounds = {
{
frequency = 500,
waveform = "triangle",
}
}

"Fix" the problem, like, sate the core tax-motivation behind most top-down domestic political issue incitement? How? Via a rigidly capped tax?

Or would it be a beginning tax that is mere precedent and has a de facto uncapped potential? In order to allow limitless and much easier siphoning of production value by those who control the tax.

Can the tax go to 99% to take us back to the stone age? Can the tax be abused against powerful political enemies who derive their incomes from industry?

As an adult you can't possibly believe that taxes, let alone punitive taxes like this proposal, are implemented to solve problems. There's nothing "brave" about voting to move money from the coffers of others to one's own. But as governments become more broke, do expect to see more agitation in favor of such taxes.

Tell me about your problems, and maybe I'll even get on board to help solve them. But end up at a final act of utilizing taxation to "solve the problem" and I then know that you are running a mafia hustle and were the entire time.
Is a mass increase of surface albedo a viable mitigator of global warming?
I have seen a lot of posts here in regards to new technologies that create renewable energy, sequester carbon dioxide and make current use of energy more efficient.

I am not a professional in this field by any means. But I remember learning once that whiter colors reflect more light back to space. It seems like a pretty simple way to help with the cool down. But I am not sure if it's just something that is simply not feasible because of how much of the global surface would need to be altered. I have not seen a lot of research on this.

Is this something that is just not worth the effort?
Please continue being yourself. Your commentary is delightfully refreshing!
I think you're missing the point of this paper—the precise thing it's showing is upscaling previously downscaled video with minimal perceptual differences from ground truth.

So you could downscale, then compress as usual, and then upscale on playback.

It would obviously be quite attractive to be able to ship compressed 480p (or 720p etc) footage and be able to blow it up to 4K at high quality. Of course you will have higher quality if you just compress the 4K, but the file size will be an order of magnitude larger.

Think you are mixing up Communism and Socialism.

Socialism is alive and well and working.

Every major capitalist society today (including US) has a percentage of Socialism sprinkled in to keep it functioning. Pure capitalism leads to a brutish tragic world, so some socialism is added to at least keep people from outright starving and rising up in revolution.

For rotations in 3D space, another nice representation is based on antisymmetric matrices [1]. All rotations can be represented as exp(A), where A has the form:

0 -z y
z 0 -x
-y x 0

Moreover, this generalizes to other dimensions. This allows to see that in 2D, rotations have one degree of freedom, in 3D they have three, and in 4D they have six.

Quite, and encouraged by the USDA, see e.g., <https://www.usda.gov/topics/rural/co-ops-key-part-fabric-rur...>.

Producer co-ops generally are at least somewhat prevalent.

Two notable former examples are Visa and Mastercard (they've since reverted to publicly-traded corporations, in the aughts). Both were originally formed as co-operative ventures among member banks, effectively a producer co-op.

I've looked into worker co-ops previously, and noted that most examples seem to have relatively simple organisational needs, with typical sectors being food-service (restaurants and cafes), publishers, acting troupes, and if memory serves, a political party. Mondragon is notable for being an industrial manufacturing company.

There are also worker-owned (though not necessarily co-operative) businesses, such as Bob's Red Mill (milling and cereal products).

Consumer co-ops saw popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, but have largely faded from view. A niche they had occupied, "natural food store" is now dominated by Amazon through its Whole Foods subsidiary, though there are some independent co-ops still extant, often in quite unexpected locations. Three Rivers Market in Knoxville, TN, comes to mind.

Credit Unions are another often overlooked case of co-ops --- both in terms of being neglected over commercial banks and not being recognised as co-operative businesses.

The Nonprofit Quartery ran a recent article on recent trends in co-ops in 2022:

Right. Unlike your McDonalds example, there is already an industry standard solution to this problem. The software ""engineers"" who neglected to implement it should be found criminally negligent for the harm they caused to their users. I know this is an unpopular suggestion on HN because code monkeys want all the glory of the "engineer" job title without any of the responsibility.
99% Invisible recently introduced me to the political concept of Noticeably Improving People's Lives (abbreviated as NIPL), which refers to how politicians get votes by making visible, positive improvements to people's lives. Not only is this bill bad policy (does nothing to protect people from foreign surveillance and violates free speech), its shit politics. All it's going to do is make the 150m Americans who use TikTok angry. So I am pretty baffled by US politicians insistence to go down this route.
How do you come to that conclusion? I can rant and rave here about the shit and aberrant government and if I had an account, reddit, FB, etc without repercussions. We can call out GW Bush for committing warcrimes and killing 100k+ Iraqis. Or Obama for drone strikes on Afghan civilians. Or Trump for existing. Or Biden for killing Afghan civilians on the final day, the day we pulled out of that complete shitshow.

Criticism of the US Govt is a favorite pastime, from anti-Capitalist humanist socialists like myself to the far right white supremacists.

Yes, but note that those are typically neither worker co-ops (like Cheese Board or the components of Mondragon) nor consumer co-ops (like REI or a grocery co-op), but a cooperative association of businesses that are themselves typically very much not co-ops.

I'm not sure information theory deals with this question.

Since this isn't lossless decompression, the point of having no "real" data is already reached. It _is_ inventing things, and the only relevant question is how plausible are the things being invented; in other words, if the video also existed in higher resolution, how close would it actually look like the inferred version. Seems obvious that this metric increases as a function of the amount of information from the source, but I would guess the exact relationship is a very open question.

Ideal for who?

The pay to play model is ideal for people where the current system costs loose change. It's idea for restaurants that cater to such people. Having regular customers who will spend a lot of money relative to the general population is a very good business model. Sure catering to "tourists" can also be ok. But not as good.

The "restaurant reservation problem" is only a problem for aspirational fine diners who can't afford being regulars. They are not starving.

Restaurants use the existing platforms for business reasons. When the imagined "fairness" becomes a business problem, an alternative platform will arise from within the industry. It's normal market segmentation. Ferrari's aren't fair either.

Good luck.

That likely depends on how exactly your org works. In my company, usually cross-org funded HC is permanent. It is expected though that you do whatever they ask for with that HC for ~3-5 years.
Capitalist internally or externally?

Do Kibbutz have highly paid CEO's that earn much more than the members, and subject them to pay cuts?

As pointed out in this thread, a Co-op is socialist internally by sharing wealth across more of the labor. But capitalist externally since it sells to a capitalist world.

One of the challenges of a co-op school is that people tend to be "in the market" only whilst they have school-aged children, roughly ages 5 to 18. In much the same way that student involvement in higher education tends to focus strongly on the few years such students are actively being educated, which means that faculty, staff, and corporate influence in higher educational institutions tends to overwhelm student power.

That said, yes there are co-op schools, with the Co-Op School in Brooklyn, NY, being prominent: <https://thecoopschool.org/>

Wasn't Hollywood an early adopter of advanced AI video stuff, w.r.t. de-aging old famous actors?
I disagree with the premise of the question.

I am not a "doomer" about it, but I think AI already is and will replace a lot of people, and I think people will need to adapt accordingly.

What is or will be replaced first? Customer-facing jobs. Then ask yourself which parts of your job, or an average job, can be automated.

Can they do as good of a job as a human? Maybe? I don't know. What I do know is that meets the company's benchmark of adequate given the costs.

Heck, even within my own job, I'm automating and delegating tasks to GPT-4, mostly via Raycast and using keyboard macros.
Even with extensive carpooling and possible future technology that allows cars to bunch more, 10-15k people per hour is likely the limit. A double tracked train line can easily push 40-50k per hour without much stress
