I've also seen this phenomenon. I wonder if hopelessness and hopefulness is relevant since the focus seems to be the difficulty of coming up with solutions.

I suppose this just shifts the question to.. are we typically more hopeful for others than of ourselves and if so why?

Hopeful = helpful?
I agree. I can imagine tourists traveling to Merced to see the high speed rail in all its glory. Bakersfield is already a hot tourist destination because of Buck Owens and The Hag, but adding high speed rail will make it even more attractive as a “must see” attraction when visiting the golden state.
Before the streaming boom I would've gone through the ripping and having a library to maintain, but after streaming I feel stuffed and don't care anymore. Nothing that is being made now or for the last couple of years I care about. You destroyed and watered down every IP and you're back to your dirty tricks again. It's too bad, but for a while there was peace.

I sold your city a bridge that has an engineering flaw, such that it collapses when a purple van followed by an orange scooter drives over it.

It also has thousands of other serious engineering flaws, for other combinations of vehicle and foot traffic.

I keep the bridge blueprints secret, so that only I can make patches for the engineering flaws.

But I'll slowly trickle patches to some of the thousands of engineering flaws. (Mainly when they result in collapses to bridges I've built in other cities.)

Each time, I'll act like I'm doing you a favor, patching some of the bridge engineering flaws that I made negligently.

And I'll start bundling concessions and invasiveness with these patches.

The patch for the design flaw that makes the bridge collapse when green polka-dot truck drives over it-- comes with a garish billboard that I control.

The patch for the design flaw that makes the bridge collapse when a convertible with the windshield wipers on drives over it-- gratuitously requires that everyone driving over it lets me copy all their documents and photos.

It doesn't help that your city has some really jerky enemies, who like to make bridges collapse, and have lots of time on their hands. (Maybe you should've thought of that when selecting an engineering firm for your bridge.)

Somehow, I don't get jailed for shoddy bridge engineering, nor lose my bridge engineering license, nor even have to pay compensation for any of the collapses of bridges that I sold to other cities.
Yeah, that's one of the papers in that line of research by Vapnik. He's got a few with similar content. Visually, it's not the paper I remember, I'll have to read it again to be sure.

If I remember correctly, Vapnik's point is, we know that Big Data Deep Learning works; now, try to do the same thing with small data. Very much like my point that capabilities of models are not improving, only the scale increasing.

The entire world was socialist from the time of the Lubang Jereji Saleh cave paintings 40,000 years ago until 10,000 years ago. Societies with different classes only sprung up 10,000 years ago. They only scaled with force, and the literature from 4000 years ago to now attests to this.

> Capitalism is very much like Democracy. It's the worst system other than all the others that have been tried.

Hunter gatherer bands in the Amazon live the way they have for 50,000 years - even prior to crossing the Bering Straits. Whereas societies where the capitalist mode of production predominant were barely even formed less than 500 years ago. Also from the time of the Paris Commune to the Cold War until now, it has been racked with threatening crises. Even in the US we see self-described socialist politicians being elected nowadays.

It's hard to make capitalism sound permanent when it has been so impermanent.

The thing is, it doesn't really matter. If you spike insulin from sugar, it doesn't matter that you aren't eating enough calories. You will feel ravenously hungry, feel sick as heck, and not lose weight. Eventually you break, start gorging, and then feel horrible because "I wasn't strong enough!"

People act like they can just use their mind to overpower their endocrinology. But you can't. You have to focus on low insulin index foods. Carrots are okay for this, but not great. They have a medium insulin index on the order of corn or milk.

Everything about Tesla and culture war is hilarious. We've got progressives hating electric cars and conservatives loving them.
All the same and more also re: Hamas. Who are the elected representatives of the Palestinian people.

This fight is the same as trying to intervene in the drunk, abusive couple down the street’s fight of the day. As is 90% of anything in the Middle East.

No one is ‘clean’, but some are more palatable than others in some contexts. And if G or others won’t do business with the ‘officially more palatable’ option (in this case Israel, per the US gov’t), then it hurts their bottom line - which is also Google Employees bottom line.

And Google can’t ignore the US gov’t, due to both revenue and regulatory involvement, especially now.

If you’re looking for sainthood, non-profits are an option.
Tesla's problems stem from the overall slowdown in the EV industry coupled with the problems with Tesla itself - AND also the fact that there are many very worthy competitors from pretty much all major car brands now. This has nothing to do with the woke vs anti-woke rhetoric.
If we factor in not just C-suite but the entire middle to top management, then I definitely think there is something to come for.

I’m not going to agree or disagree with you because depending on the day I could enjoy both options.

One thing for people to try is an obd2 adapter ($20) and an app ($5) to see horsepower if it does not display on your car infotainment.

It is surprising how little you use of the claimed horsepower unless going uphill on a highway. I tracked the data for several drives and the numbers are low. 150-200 max for spirited driving. Getting to the fuel cutoff on my vehicle is difficult. I have tested it.

I’m not using sport+ brake torque launch control mode on at every stop sign, light I reach, or on many wide open highways though. My vehicle has none of those, it’s always in sports car mode.

"capitalism" is simply a way to organize an enterprise. an enterprise can participate in a market without structuring the organization as a capitalist enterprise. free market != capitalism. american-style capitalism consists of a political system that supports the capitalist enterprise structure.
I am also worried about officers "gaming" the system to bolster whatever stat their superiors want them to optimize at the detriment of those being "policed".

We've all seen how prompting can change GPT output and this is what worries me the most.

Imagine users finding out that starting every interaction that is recorded with a certain sentence acts as a pre prompt that in turn subtly biases the gpt output so that it makes judges or prosecutors less sympathetic to defendants when the police department is optimizing for higher conviction rates, eg. (That is, doing the opposite of the quote above of the public defender "humanizing" the drug case defendant in the plea deal example.)

There will be a lot of reports transcribed, people will find ways to optimize the output to their gain and we've all seen how easy it is to bias llm output by promoting.

Amazon has both a self publishing arm (kindle direct) and a traditional publishing arm (amazon publishing). Like most traditional publishers they have a variety of imprints (e.g. 47North for Scifi/fantasy). They compete for authors via the same mechanisms other publishers do and have notable non-self published authors (Greg Bear jumps out to me as a scifi fan).

I don't know the specific legal contracts involved with 50 Shades of Grey's ebook distribution but I'd assume that Vintage Books bought those rights after they became the publisher for the book.
> You're simply falling for survivorship bias.

What if I told you that I worked in fields that raise such ethical questions, and I have seen with my own eyes how there was never a single instance with 99 engineers who refuse for 1 who accepts?

For what I have seen, there was no survivorship bias. And then regarding LLMs in particular, I struggle to find people around me who actually question the ethical problems they bring. They just don't seem to even imagine that they could think about ethics.

So unless you don't ask them to do something that is extreme (design a weapon to kill children), they just don't question anything at all.
AI is part of the machine learning field.

That is to say all AI is machine learning, but not all machine learning is AI. The fine line, as I understand it, is AI must be unsupervised and use weight matrices of some kind.

> Certainly Zombie-Chalmers is inconsistent with physicalism.

Ok, good, we agree on that.

> his denial of any form of privileged access

Not of any form, no. Dennett was fine with the notion that we have privileged access to what it is like to be us (to use Thomas Nagel's phrase--Dennett's often-used term was "heterophenomenological world"). We have a direct experience of what it is like to be us, and that experience is real. Dennett just insisted that that, in itself, tells us nothing about how accurate our "what it is like to be us" is as a representation of the underlying processes going on in our brains. There are indeed images, sensations, raw feels, phenomenal properties in our "what it is like to be us"--in Dennett's terms, those are indeed intentional objects in our heterophenomenological worlds. But that, in itself, does not mean that, for example, if we say we have a mental image, there must actually be an image somewhere in our brains. There are real underlying processes going on, but we can't infer from our direct experience of having a mental image that any of those underlying processes involve images.

> I think it's important to have a certain amount of empathy here

It's not a matter of empathy; it's a matter of being consistent about the implications of one's views. I'm a physicalist, just as Dennett was. You agree that, for example, Zombie-Chalmers is inconsistent with physicalism. No amount of "empathy" can overcome that contradiction. I have to pick one or the other. I pick physicalism, not because of any lack of "empathy" for Chalmers or anyone else, but because, all things considered, that's what I pick. And having picked physicalism, I have to deny that Zombie-Chalmers is a valid concept, in order to be consistent. Just as Chalmers, to be consistent with his belief that Zombie-Chalmers is a valid concept, has to deny physicalism.
That suddenly makes a lot more sense! Thank you for the explanations and for the writeup!
>in most cases where co-ops compete with regular capitalist businesses they go extinct

After seeing time and time again the success of workers of bankrupted companies pulling up their compensations and unemployment benefits to rebuild the company in a co-op model, I wonder if it's not the opposite.

"Money attracts money", and I don't think it's too crazy to think that if everybody had access to low-interest credit under the same conditions as the big players, this model would be the norm, rather than the exception.
Progressives do not hate electric cars. My buddy just bought the Mach-E last week instead of the Model 3. The article points out that Republicans are not in fact picking up the slack on purchasing Tesla's to offset the dip from the left.
I personally love the experience of so-called ego death ("complete loss of subjective self-identity") from psychedelics, but I can understand why other people don't.

The brain filters reality in a highly organized and optimized manner. It takes all our sensory input and fuses it into a remarkably stable, though inherently subjective reality. Psychedelics attenuate the filter. Suddenly, things aren't so organized or stable. That can be very scary to some people and thrillingly fun for others. Add to that, deep-seated emotions and repressed memories, which can bubble up without warning when you lose control, and things get even more fraught.

thinking about the same. what did push you over the edge?
One "nice" thing about NF is that it has only two axioms/axiom schemes: 1) sets with the same members are the same, and 2) any stratifiable property corresponds to a set off all the things which have that property. And the definition of "stratifiable" isn't very complicated.

ZF, by contrast, has eight rather ad hoc axioms/axiom schemes.

> WHY IN HELL IS EUROPE, WITH ITS INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE RESOURCES NOT DOING TH SAME?!?

Probably because Euro is much more stable (relative to dollar) than Naira (the official currency of Nigeria). So european companies don’t feel the need to compromise for an inferior service (this claim comes from the article linked in the OP, not from me) or bother creating their own one.

If EU countries had an ongoing inflation rate of 30%+, which would result in GCP/AWS costs for european companies go up insanely every year (without GCP/AWS increasing pricing on their end and usage staying constant), I bet EU would consider switching to a cloud provider that accepts EUR instead of USD as well[0].

That’s not a good problem to have at all.

0. I have no idea if GCP/AWS accept payments in EUR. So that statement was written with a scenario in mind where GCP/AWS only accept USD (to draw an analogy with the situation in Nigeria).

The organization of a business doesn’t matter in capitalism. Capitalism, boiled down to private property and market. A co-op competing with other companies largely without price control is just as capitalistic as IBM or Google.
> How disruptive are switch config changes? If I edit /etc/network/interfaces to add a new port, vlan, etc

"systemctl restart networking" will typically blow away even the well most well configured systems in my experience.
