What is required for punishments to significantly deter and otherwise affect corporate behavior? Is there research on that question?

I assume part of the answer is some ratio of corporate assets or revenue, as well as how the fines are implemented.

Main challenge: not be too perfectionist. I hate the hustling culture where each MVP has to be rushed in 2 weeks. It might be risk-effective, but it can't possibly be meaningful.
I want to do the best I possibly can with the greatest care however long it takes, but I also don't want to waste (too much) time on irrelevant details and over-perfectionism
How about telling the public the truth? Say something like, "This particular vaccine has not been tested up to normal FDA standards. It may not be as safe as other vaccines. But we are convinced that it will do more good than harm, given the danger of Covid for the unvaccinated."

You could let the public make an actual decision based on actual information, rather than telling them little, projecting false certainty, and then trying to force them to do what you think is the best course. I mean, look, not everyone can be treated like adults. But I think the majority of people can. Tell them the truth, and let them decide.

Great feature request!
A good addition to this article might be the definition of basic Lisp in Cognition. That would be kind of meta-Lisp.
Nobody wants this.
Microsoft OS doesn't make money on consumer users the same way Apple OS doesn't. Microsoft failed to enter the hardware space because they are over encumbered with people that want their 9:30 to 4:30 and are not too worried about "competition". Half because Microsoft can't make good predictions and half - What else are you going to run windows applications on?

Remove software patents and all of this is fixed tomorrow. Create real risk, create real competition.
> But I suspect the "can code" privilege beats the "passport" privilege.

It doesn't and it's not even close. Millions of Russians have left the country in protest of Putin's little victorious war. Many of them are very adept at coding, and no, almost all of them face severe problems of every kind (banking, visas, residency, air flights, etc) because of the wrong color of their passports. And for people from non-European countries it is even worse.
Ideas are cheap. Ask ChatGPT and it will give you dozens. Heck, ask almost any random person, and they will have business ideas.

What's hard is (a) finding a good idea, (b) investing the time and effort to make it reality, and finally (c) marketing it successfully.
That's cool.

I do find it ironic though that wikipedia is one of the major sites with the least amount of user tracking, and then users decide to implement the tracking themselves.
I just saw a blurb about something similar in the US! Mars (the candy company) is 'the largest owner of stand-alone veterinary clinics in the United States.' Also: 'JAB Holding Company, the owner of National Veterinary Associates’ 1,000-plus hospitals (not to mention Panera and Espresso House), also holds multiple pet-insurance lines in its portfolio.'

The definition is broader than that. Think of a vaccine as something which teaches your immune system to fight some particular thing.

The most common application is as a preventative measure to protect you from an infectious disease. But it can be used for other diseases (like cancer, which is not infectious) and it can be used after you're sick.

Fun fact: if an unvaccinated person is exposed to measles, they can get the MMR within 72 hours of exposure, and it will still reduce the severity of the disease. (Source: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/mmr/public/index.html )

Git's subcommand aliasing, but for arbitrary tools. Git has the capability to configure aliases, distinct from shell aliases, for its commands. E.g. 'git cm' = 'git commit'

I had a fairly naive, limited Bash script wrapping docker to provide something similar, but for fun I decided to rewrite it in Golang with arbitrary command support. Turns out that Go is not my cuppa so I rewrote it again in C# (my go-to), using the AOT compilation as well. Something like this probably already exists but writing it is about the journey, the fun of problem solving.

It will ultimately be a simple translator from a convenient config format (e.g. something like below) to shell commands, so nothing special. Just a useful tool for my day to day.

[command="git",exec="/bin/bash"]

cm = commit

cm <CommitMessage:alphanumeric> = commit -m "$CommitMessage"

cm pop <CommitCount:int> = reset HEAD~$CommitCount
That's the trick though, they don't own it. They often take a company private and make the company "own itself". Then make it take out exorbitant loans to pay them their consultation fees. Then they fuck around as consulting management as the company struggles to meet even the interest payments on the massive loan taken out in its name.

All reward, no risk.
Their "Trusted by these businesses" list is ironically a list of businesses not to trust.
That's a very creative potential experiment, and I do hope some such experiments can be proposed!

However, my understanding of the double slit experiment is that the "observer" in the experiment means something more like measurer or measurability, which can be done by devices. And it shouldn't be construed as being deeply tied to consciousness in philosophically important sense.
>Someone in the video talks about Homer as though he were the author of the epics. My impression was that these epics came about via oral tradition, with centuries of recitation by bards.

That the epics pre-existed is true, that Homer was a singular author with specific "voice" (not just someone who wrote them down) is debated (and favored iirc).

>Instead, Jaynes claims, these poems originated in the unconscious right hemisphere and were blindly recited by those who could not ignore the metered, schizophrenic prose forced upon them by their bicameral mind.

Yes, that part is bs.

Cool tool. Might be cool to make something wikipedia agnostic. Sometimes I manually create such a thing via obsidian but its kind of tedious. It's interesting how sometimes different starting sources read far apart in time lead to rabbitholes which cross paths.

This reminds me of a python scraper I wrote a while back when I was learning to program - Youtube rabbithole: https://github.com/BlairCurrey/youtube-rabbithole

It basically just follows the next recommended video, recording the path along the way. More about tracing the youtube algorithm than tracking your own journey.

There are always entire comment chains talking about how important it is to invest wisely and then plugging some random person's name.

The only way this ends is with either requiring strict identity verification for posting, or giving up on comments altogether.

Time is not exclusively a metaphysical concept, the perception of time is.

Reality, again is a very vague word in physics. One definition is, real is that which always is, not that which is not. Material nature is subject to constant change, there is nothing in the material universe that is immovable, unchanging and eternally static and stable.

Eastern philosophy describes the reality as the 'Self', the self is eternally existing without a causation but this Self, the observer, requires an observation and hence the concept of material nature comes into place to justify the existence of the observer but the Self is mutually exclusive to the material nature. The Self is not an manifestation of the material nature, otherwise it would be ever changing, like material nature.

For science to explain consciousness, it has to drop the idea of a controlled experiment. You cannot empirically verify certain thing to be true, this is what metaphysics is for.

Not enough context to tell if YOU should worry.

Anyways, in general, I wouldn't worry because if we get to a point where software can replace human software engineers then almost everyone else will be without a job soon after (think bug-free software being produced exponentially for every market niche).

It seems to me we never make less of something when we make it more efficiently. The opposite seems true.

Sure, if one clung to writing "code" on binary punch cards instead of adopting assembly then that person would have been redundant after a while. Today some people still write assembly but the vast majority uses higher level languages. LLMs will probably be the next step in the abstraction ladder. If you think yourself a <insert programming language> programmer then, yeah, you should worry. Current programming languages will be obsolete in my opinion. Letting LLMs write code and then reading/changing it is a very short term (and doomed) trend. You don't read compiler-written assembly of your <insert programming language> programs, do you? Almost no one cares how a piece of software works unless it's slow and/or needs to be modified. Software programming will get to a much higher level of abstraction (think modules, integrations). So much so that everyone could do it. The same way everyone could be a plumber but almost no one is. A plumber is paid to suffer under the sink or getting covered in dirty water and or crap. Something you don't want to deal with. Sure business owner could get an LLM to write their brand new idea of the day but they won't. They will pay someone else to do it, you'll be that someone because they'd rather handle other business stuff or enjoy the money they're making. On top of all consider that the amount of new things people could do will also increase exponentially. If we lived lives like our ancestors we could do nothing all day (and probably we are, to their eyes) but we don't, actually we get busier and busier.
Thanks for the feedback.

Speaking from my personal perspective here: I find it very useful to have quick feedback cycles. I can quickly hack something together, walk downstairs and immediately run it on a real robot.

The moon has a sixth of earth gravity. The force you would feel would be very small and the whole point of this is to increase the resistance against the wall you’re running on.

If you’ve ever been on a spinning wheel at a carnival where they move the whole thing 90 degrees it would be a bit like that.

The track would actually be straight, so you wouldn’t have to compensate for turning even.

I’m not saying you wouldn’t want to switch directions, but there shouldn’t be some imperative to do so often.

Something about pricing psychology, I've noticed that a) I dislike monthly subscriptions even at lower price point like $5/month. It's always on my mind to use-it-or-cancel.

And then b) I'm comfortable with a larger but one time purchase like $50 per year.

I'm not telling you it makes rational sense but this is how it plays out for me.
Pricing is interesting: They have a free tier that provides 2 replies/month, next tier is $10/month for 20 replies/month. This is probably still more cost effective than replies done by humans though I understand that LLM API access can get pretty expensive at the moment, what models are they using?

Other than that it seems pretty cool, and ReplyGuy is a perfect name lol.
