>If you know a great deal about what is right and wrong, and you choose to do something bad,

The issue is that when you start studying ethics you'll learn pretty quickly that what's right or wrong isn't exactly that obvious. You don't go to a philosophical ethics class and get taught what's good and bad like in church, you get taught how to think about the many ethical systems that exist.

That means you're going to enounter the ethics of Max Stirner, who was so radically Egoist he makes Ayn Rand look like a puppy loving communitarian, and you're going to encounter Jesus Christ. That people who study ethics for a living often have views that seem so unethical to most people isn't really surprising simply because they're exposed to such a broad range of views.

People who have are perceived as ethical are usually the people least exposed to ethics as a field of study, because they're exactly the people most likely to adopt the beliefs of people around them.
It will, but using different methods.
Been there. That was an interesting day.
I've been using the light phone 2 off and on for the past year. It's too painful to use.
Linux Mint (both the Debian Edition and the one based on Debian via Ubuntu); I've been free of Microsoft products for awhile now (never had a Macintosh, but I used them in school) with no regrets.

I also appreciate Firefox, Thunderbird, Libby (by Overdrive, for accessing public library materials), Calibre (for epub management and sometimes reading, often for easily looking up cooking recipes thanks to full-text search), and KOReader (my child needs the text bigger than the stock Kobo can do; KOReader delivers, on this and other features). Oh and Steam, for making it easy to keep up with friends via videogames despite having ditched Windows.
Similar for me. It feels like hunger, or sleep deprivation. I think it's detected by system 2, from an awareness of cognition not being great, in general. It's like a touch of delirium.

Hunger as a response to mild dehydration makes sense though. We get a significant proportion of our water intake from food. That instinct doesn't work quite as well in our engineered era of potato chips, but that's a recent problem.
The room at UCLA where all this happened is now preserved as a museum. You can see the IMP he describes among other memorabilia. Third Floor of Boelter Hall.
In this specific case it's a cultural thing at Boeing not the culture at large. I worked at an aerospace company and we had an unwritten rule that made sure we kept the percentage of ex-Boeing employees below a pretty low threshold to ensure Boeing culture didn't work it's way in.

On top of a poor personnel culture, Boeing cares more about splitting it's supply chain up around the world (in order to get contracts from different countries) than making airplanes. The scary part of a bad culture is you could fake it with past airplanes, but newer aircraft with lighter composite parts/less parts (which then make each part's integrity more important) there's less wiggle room. Plus with composite, you can't just do a final QA on things and ensure they are good. You have to QA each layer layup, glues, etc. An xray at the end can't really give you the whole picture. I remember friends talking about how a certain (not Boeing) company was experimenting moving composite layup to China and what a cluster that was going to be. They would find razor blades embedded inside and all kinds of FOB crap on the final xrays, and this was on the pre-production showcase pieces.
Eh? A lot of things have been lost ("taken away") on Windows.

I can think of a few off the top of my head:

64-bit versions can't run 16-bit applications (including MS-DOS software), for instance, which broke all kinds of stuff for people who never knew that they still needed this.

Ye Olde Windows Help system disappeared starting with Vista, which broke a huge amount of the online documentation that still-functional software had been using (including, maddeningly, my own bought-and-paid-for copy of QuickBooks).

Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications is gone. It used to be a thing, and now it is not.

32-bit hardware compatibility: Gone in Windows 11 (and Windows 10 EOLs in about a year and a half).

OS/2 binary compatibility: Windows included the ability to run [some] OS/2 software in NT-based versions, up to (and including) 32-bit XP.

And that's just some stuff that me, a complete non-expert, can think of straight-away.

Maybe it was all cruft, or maybe it was useful. Maybe it's better that these things are gone, or maybe it is not.

But these are all things that used to be present, and that are now no longer present.
Fair point, it does seem like the modern graphics are less sophisticated than the transparent/translucent of the Vista era.

And yes, I would very much agree regarding the quality of the average developer. To devs nowadays who might feel sad about that, I don't think it's most developers fault, rather they/we are the product of a system (such as a scrum) that only cares about quality and performance when it's bad enough to be noticed by many users. Beyond that, you get promoted and good annual reviews by shipping features, regardless of whether they are actually quality/performant or not.

Of course, but in cases where there's a defined endpoint we also know that the decay from the exponential looking phase is going to happen well before we get there.

i.e. the solar industry won't start installing solar panels at an ever higher rate if the amount of solar penetration is almost 100%. In fact the relative value of installing panels will decline as we get nearer to it. Arguably that's already happened - i.e. power prices going negative scrapes a lot of the shine off private industry funding them.

Versus say, a natural process where while this might happen, the bounds aren't limited by humans making economic decisions for themselves (which of course, when you think about it also implies dangers in extrapolating effects of natural processes like climate change - the rate of some downstream parameter going up and looking linear and shallow could just be a very large system in the middle of moving into an exponential phase which extends well beyond our ability to manage it).

I understand where you're coming from, the author definitely had a chip on his shoulder, but what he's describing is a situation where the students clearly do not want to be sitting in that classroom. They're being manipulated to believe they need to take out loans and go to college to succeed. That system just ends up wasting the time, money, and mental health of everyone involved.

This has nothing to do with legal tender and everything to do with the bankruptcy code. Part of the point of bankruptcy is avoiding a race to submit claims. If you use market value, then someone who was paid out earlier or later could feel aggrieved. When FTX went bankrupt, the clock was stopped and the value of every asset frozen. We ringfence some things, and there is a decent argument for ringfencing crypto held in custody, but FTX wasn't doing that, it held some crypto, a bunch of crap and a spreadsheet promising Bitcoins to randos.
I'm using Windows 10 and Linux, and both provide working standard controls.

Just because Apple is on a mission to ruin their standard controls does not mean those on other operating systems should artificially be forced to also get their UX ruined.

I know HN looks dated. But the very textarea control I am writing in right now can be resized with a standard grab handle, and has working scrollbars and keyboard navigation.

I'm a pretty forgiving person, I don't really mind mistakes as long they are 1) admitted to 2) steps are taken to actively reverse course, and 3) guidelines are taken to prevent the same mistakes from happening.

But you more or less drain thst good faith when you are caught with your pants down and decide instead to double down. So I was pretty much against OpenAI ever since the whole "paying for training data is expensive" response during the NYT trials.

In general, the populace can be pretty unforgiving (sometimes justified, sometimes not). It really only takes one PR blunder to tank thst good faith. And much longer to restore it.
Nice to see this topic survive the flagging process on HN..

Would be great to have a discussion of some other promising non-carbon energy sources, such as drilled geothermal.

Slightly off-topic - gen pop are often surprised when I mention that NET-ZERO == MAX-CO2 == MAX-HEAT. People often assume that getting to net-zero is 'mission accomplished' .. but its the area under the curve that counts, the total CO2/GHG equiv put up there, as it stays around for a long time.

If we are nearing +1.5C today, with temp rising at around 0.25C to 0.3C per decade, at current long plateau of max emissions.. we will likely be somewhere in range +2.5C to +3.0C by the time we reach net-zero, possibly by 2050.

I'm not sure that +2.5C is survivable for large human populations .. hence the above concerns prompt one to look at things like SRM - putting up sulphur particulates to increase cloud cover, so less sunlight is absorbed by the oceans, exerting a net cooling effect [ as we did with container shipping fuels until recently - until the fuel was mandated to contain less Sulphur ]

IMHO, we engineered our way into this mess by geo-engineering a CO2-rich hot biosphere, and we will need to engineer our way out of it - it could be worse, we seem to have a lot of technologies that can replace carbon-fuel and store energy and arguably reduce heat.
I don't think the OS is particularly slower, in many ways it handles modern hardware a lot better. I notice two particular effects of poor latency which I think contribute to the times when things are appearing to be slow.

1) Applications that aren't native and especially electron apps or similar. These are terrible slow to start since they are pulling up an entire browser environment to display their interface and they tend to start slowly and often run poorly. There are a lot of them about now.

2) CPU power profiles where the CPU is sat at idle and zooms up to boost speed can take quite a while for some reason and this causes a lot of Windows effects to miss a frame and getting janky. This really depends on your processor and power profiles and core parking settings but its bugged me for years that processor power saving is clearly not just free and one area you notice it is when going from idle to launching apps or doing something UI wise that has a lot of movement.

But generally I don't think Windows is much slower. It uses more RAM and drive space and it really can't be run on anything but an SSD now but power saving consequences combined with inefficient apps is mostly where I notice its not smooth.

Agent-based healthcare concierge basically (agents constantly trawling literature for ways to optimize your health, doing scheduling/appointments for you, moving data to new doctors when needed, etc.)

No, I'm happy that OpenAI exists. But alarmed that they're being so mendacious.

If they just said "we loved the film, we wanted that feel, SJ wasn't willing, so we went for it anyway. Obviously that's backfired and we're rethinking" then I would have a thousand times more comfort than this corporate back-covering bullshit.

I don't think its bad per se, i do enjoy being closer to customers and all, but there's a lot of managing, calendaring, and meetings where I know someone else could be taking them instead of me (and I could focus on the stuff I do that bring more value to the business).
Infinite potential for sure. You can instruct it to be more terse, poetic, avoid pronouns when possible, dial up the humor and so on. Take also a look at David Shapiro's use of Claude and GPT for writing [1].

My process however is different than anyone else. By putting the machine to describe the writing, i use the keywords, remove one i may not like, and add one keyword of my choosing. Then i generate some more Example Paragraphs or Example Chapters and do the same again.

I slowly push the machine to generate examples until i am satisfied with the result. Then i go on and add my characters, and at last use the last bunch of examples to generate my story. It is not easy at first, but once i got the hang of it, now it is trivial.

On the flip side, when you get up and go off camera or turn camera off in a small video call (few participants), it feels awkward to get up and leave and I usually hold it and suffer through it. In person for some reason it felt less awkward to excuse yourself for a few minutes.

Just ignore them? Don't use manipulative apps?

I suppose for some people this is an issue and they genuinely want a physical solution in order to stop habitually doing things they don't like, like Odysseus wanting to be tied to the mast to avoid the Sirens.

I can predict how my behavior would change if I tried this: I'd be pissed off because you'd ruined my game of Heroes III (1999). And Brogue would be slightly less pretty. Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead would be much the same, and news sites and coding wouldn't change much. So my reaction would just be "this is gloomy", it's not like I need freeing from a hypnotic spell.

I largely agree. I think what makes the "the user is a threat" model so difficult to me is that there is a lot of truth to it. Users often don't know enough to make good decisions.

I really like your idea of logging in separately, such that is isn't something you're going to do cavalierly. That seems like a great compromise to me! I fully agree that we way overuse admin and really don't need it for the majority of things.

I've tried it for a burner phone for international travel, and it turns out that even though I'm a very light user of phone messaging, I find T9 texting exceptionally unpleasant to use. (I never used T9 in its heyday, and find smartphone virtual keyboards unpleasant in the best of cases.) I already do 99% of my messaging at my PC, but sometimes need to message someone on the go.

Now I've just been using my previous primary phone for international travel.

Though I'd probably be okay with a dumb phone with a slider keyboard.

> I don't detect the sustained attention problem as dehydration or thirst. I detect it as hunger or a general malaise

So I have trouble differentiating these. The trick is to figure out which ones you're least susceptible to. For me it's hunger. So when I consciously feel that tired/hungry/thirsty feeling, I know it's sleep or thirst, and based on how you slept, you can usually deduce whether you need a nap or glass of water.

Why are you conflating Russia with the Soviet Union?

American production is spread throughout the country. China's is pretty much located in the east. Peace time production capabilities <> war time production. There is a reason the United States is developing Rapid Dragon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_Dragon_(missile_system) ). In a large scale war, the USA's ENTIRE logistics fleet can be turned into stand off attack aircraft which will overwhelm any local defenses and remove 'peace time' production from the board. I wonder why the USA chose to name the system after an old Chinese siege weapon?

Seems like you're... defending the exploitation of compulsive behavior.

Most media platforms are designed to exploit the same behavioural patterns s gambling, and it makes perfect sense to be able to restrict the likelihood of undesirable possible intrusions. If you want to isolate the act of reading or doing anything else without the possibility of being drawn over to an endless stream of videos, seems like a joyful and practical move. Then if you want to watch a video, go do that deliberately, there's no reason not to attempt to exert more control over your own attention, if something like this helps.

China is heavily investing in munitions and acquiring high-end weapons systems and equipment five to six times faster than the United States. China is also the world’s largest shipbuilder and has a shipbuilding capacity that is roughly 230 times larger than the United States. One of China’s large shipyards, such as Jiangnan Shipyard, has more capacity than all U.S. shipyards combined.

The reason that it doesn't work is because governments don't pay enough. You can even pay enough to cover the entire cost of having the child (food, childcare) and it still won't be worth it for the parents, economically speaking, because of the opportunity cost associated with maternity. Of course, if governments start paying one hundred, or two hundred thousand dollars per child (or less if combining child payments with a childlessness tax) then it starts becoming an economic incentive - if you aren't having children by X age then you start getting left behind by your peers.
