We migrated away from an Elastic stack to a Loki stack, and were able to store order of magnitude more data for less money. Maybe we did Elastic wrong, but we tried various managed solutions and always ran into limits. The new Loki stack has always given quicker answers too.
If AI has no economic impact, it almost by definition also has no ability to marshal the kind of resources necessary to destroy all of humanity. All the doom scenarios seem to rely on quasi-magical abilities springing from advanced intelligence, but ignore that these scenarios require the AI to have access to significant resources.

Then, suppose AI does somehow think itself into effecting human annihilation, what happens when all the humans are dead? At the current state of things, all electricity production on the planet goes dark in maybe two weeks. Nuke plants irradiate significant parts of the earth, chip fabs are bricked, metal production is toast. In short the AI necessarily dies too.

The only way for this not to happen is AI controlled robots first gaining complete control of massive chunks of the economy. If AI is as useless as the article claims then that will effectively never happen. Thus, AI doom scenarios are always a murder suicide situation, and I’m not sure I believe anyone who says a superhumanly capable planner would pursue that plan. It even negates the “paperclip optimizer” as the AI’s demise obviously puts a hard upper limit on the number of paperclips produced.
I wonder what WFH arrangements in Copenhagen or Amsterdam look like.
Yup. Individuals want to optimize for quality of life but the decisionmakers are optimizing for household income (or perhaps GDP).
> One result they are missing out is that the income actually reduced overall employment compared to the control group

That’s not something negative or even a surprise. Of all the people on this planet, why do you think Altman payed its with its own money for this study ? That’s the goal of universal income : allowing people to work less because there is/will be less work to do.

As for decreasing household earnings, I’m not even surprised : most people would accept a decrease in income in exchange of the certainty of the income. You don’t need to save a lot if your income is guaranteed.

It’s not even a bad thing because as we can see in the results, global expenditures increased. One interpretation could be that people felt like they needed less money but that they also spent more. Overall it feels like a net positive for the economy.
Why is the goal to get people to quit their jobs and get a nice apartment?

Isn't it supposed to be a minimum base level of support? Why do we keep moving the goal posts?

And if everyone quits their job and lives in a nice apartment, where is this money going to come from? The problem with welfare today is that its a disincentive to work. Start working, you lose your transfer payments. A lot of people are stuck in this trap and don't want to start working, forsaking valuable on the job training and socialization that will hurt them in the long run. That's where universal part comes in
>As a control question, ask yourself: what was the last show where the villain/antagonist/incompetent people were not white males and the protagonist was not a “diverse” woman.

Just as an immediate reaction in the context of this thread: Silo.

> I'm concerned about a situation similar to college tuition in the US where easy, risk free money leads to price gouging. Once everyone has an extra $XXXXX how quickly does the market realize that the cost of goods can be raised by that amount.

Yeah, I'm convinced state backed student loans has led to the crazy rise in college tuition. student loans should be private (but should 100% be dischargeable via bankruptcy). Alternatively, public institutions shouldn't charge for tuition. The current state makes absolutely no sense.
> Every year, 2,000 tonnes of radioactive heavy metal join the growing inventory of fuel removed from nuclear power reactors—both operating and decommissioned.

Given how dense nuclear "waste" (mostly unburnt fuel) is, how much volume is this? (Either in metric or Freedom Units.)
In the US, the only ones I can think of are companies like McDonalds or Food Markets.

I know one company that does not fit that bill, IBM. In last April they had a lay-off, I heard from friends who worked there, the only people let go in their Dept were all over 50. Do a search and you will see many articles about that.

I wish you luck
Mine has an integrated blow dryer, and I usually follow up with a bit of TP to clear up any remaining moisture. Even without a dryers it's not that much water. A few seconds to drop dry and TP will be sufficient.
You mean the people going out of their way to pirate content are freeloaders who contribute nothing back, and the service they're enjoying wouldn't exist if everyone behaved like them? How unexpected
UBI really makes me think of AI-safety-world i-risk. i.e. Ikigai risk (feeling like you have a meaningful purpose in life).

Ikigai, or purpose, is a Japanese concept dating back to the Heian period in Japan. The Japanese word “iki” translates to life. Additionally, the “gai” portion of the word comes from the word “kai” meaning shell.

Beyond basic needs, Homo Sapiens in their current incarnation need some kind of meaning or purpose in life. Some folks can find this internally, other folks need to operate in an externally imposed value-structure to have meaning.

I'm not sure that UBI actually addresses this, and may be counter productive.

SMBC is a treasure, just like XKCD. Zach's and Kelly's books are quite nicely, some like Soonish are just good accessible futurism/science reading, their comic collections are excellent, and they aren't afraid to offend. For example, I was part of their initial Kickstarter for The Holy Bible: Abridged Beyond the Point of Usefulness https://hivemill.com/products/pocket-bible and now I have a much-easier-to-get-through-and-considerably-more-fun Bible with Zach's signature. It has provided for much silliness at many parties in my house. I don't rotate in baptist/fundamentalist circles though, those would probably be aghast at it.
Particularly when many systems I've seen group the past three years into last year.

It feels like the categories are:

"Today, Yesterday, This Week, This Month, Last Year, Big Bang"
I mean it's all about who you know.
A significant proportion that is not the majority? I think the vibe about UBI was always "people will work less and employers will have stricter competition when hiring employees".
I wouldn't go near that speed on a bike wearing a tour de france outfit. Crashing at those speeds will be very, very painful.

A friend of mine had a low speed crash on his bike, and knocked his front teeth out. After that, both he and I bought full face helmets.

When I ride dirt bikes, I wear a full set of armor. I look like a storm trooper. But I've crashed many times, and was unhurt. The armor is worth every penny. (The only way to learn how to ride a dirt bike is by crashing it.)
Powerpoints? No. But if it gets good/easy/reliable/cheap enough I can see a lot of applications. Imagine storing incoming customer emails and being able to fish out all emails complaining about, say, slow shipping, even if they don't use that exact phrase.
I've never knowingly used a language-aware diff tool before, but I wouldn't mind the option. I think it would come in handy on occasion.
Total integrated (productivity * worker hours) lowers when workers fall faster than productivity improves.
Systematically reversing gender stereotypes to the point of being aggressively regressive is not progressive.

And to many of the current shows being produced, this seems to be more important than actually telling a good story.

And like I said, that is my main issue with these productions.
From a policy perspective, how neoliberal is Kamala Harris?
I think that your wording is still horrendous.

One thing is autism that is in genes and other is behavioral/adaptational etc. change.

I can assure you that diet had no impact on my anxiety that I have with my autism, where in stressful situations I have severe communication issues with other people with all rhe "classic autism" symptoms, while in very relaxed environment you will have a hard time to define me as autistic at all - where my adhd(undiagnosed) would crawl out...

What realy upsets is how some autistic people are defining themselves an their place in society. I had less issues wit NT people - almost always the people that tried to impose on me some rules were people with diagnosed/undiagnosed spectrum - the worst damage I have seen to others also have been from autistic people as with NTs you can mirror, but with peolle on spectrum - it is a nightmare.
IANANeuroscientist, but my idle-thought was that a lack of sleep could cause a buildup of waste byproducts, and structural adaptations might either reduce the effect of the buildup or else make its removal marginally easier.
Great, that gives us 0-days.
Sounds like she had at least two different fathers to her children, maybe 3.

This is poverty creating behavior. She made an enormous mistake bearing a child to not one, but two deadbeats, but she doesn’t frame it as her error.
- Women in the workforce and higher eduction, almost universally leads to lower birthrate.

- Modern helicopter and "attachment" parenting styles are significantly more resource and time-intensive than in other generations.

- Abundance of birth control.

- I would also argue that the breakdown of communities plays a much larger, and likely subconscious psychological role. Whether valid or not, people don't feel like they have a support network, and don't feel like it is safe to have children.

Please bear in mind, I'm not arguing that any of these points are either good or bad, but just suggesting that they contribute to declining birthrates.
Yep, when COVID hit, my commute was 2.5 hours each way, totaling an average of 5 hours in the car every day. Once I got a taste of WFH I decided I'm never going back to that hell. I'd love to be able to afford to live close to the office, but I'm not rich enough to have a similar home in that location, and am not willing to move my family into a shoebox-sized townhome just for a short commute.

I didn't specifically mention government when I was referring to overreach. But in some cases there is government overreach involved regarding family planning. At least in the USA, trust is very low regarding this atm

There's a difference between government disinterestedly researching social trends and having (particularly right wing) news media shoveling out these alarmist articles that do a lot of stereotyping

The tone of this article, coupled with recent political changes regarding family planning, reeks of overreach into people's private lives
Hey everyone. We put in lots of efforts to make sure that Linux runs really well on Azure and that you have a great experience. Glad this got some traction and glad to answer any questions.
This is simply not true. Most startup founders are genuinely trying to build something that has value to the economy, and therefore society. Most fail early, most of what's left fails later, but some go on to be real, profitable, businesses.

That's how it works outside of the startup world too. Most restaurants, clothing stores, car repair shops, etc. go out of business after just a few years, while a few move on to become large chains and the like.
People really pay attention to that in 2024? I feel young!
Interestingly, the UK is pretty advanced in terms of digital benefits infrastructure with its Universal Credit system, which works pretty much like a Negative Income Tax.

I also thought the humor angle was odd as the models can create some very good humor when the context is set correctly.
Because until we have unlimited robots with AGI, stuff needs to get done for the society to function. Growing food, building stuff, delivering stuff, fixing/maintaining stuff, etc.
Yes it's enraging and really telling.

AVS and Milkdrop could probably run on a toaster today, I'd guess even WebGL would be enough on a smartphone, laptop or similar device with some kind of GPU.

Meanwhile, YTM costs 13€ a month, doesn't have an equalizer, no cross-device sync despite cloud everything... no nothing. Not even gapless album playback.

Once upon a time, I signed up to Spotify in order to have a good conscience, because I grew old and didn't want to keep collecting audio files...

Then Spotify became worse and worse.

For now YTM seems like a better deal, but I still can't even find a free solution to migrate my playlists.

Basically, everything went to shit. The only advantage is not having to illegaly download new music after browsing Discogs.

The disadvantage is, apart from the odd good recommendation, my interest in discovering new music has vanished.

Even new music found on Discogs.

But why bother saving songs to playlists when it's all transient anyway?

That was my main last straw with Spotify — too many good music disappearing from playlists, and steadily worsening recommendations. With rabbit-holes of totally trash AI-generated "music" in between, that didn't stop unless actively skipping.

And YTMs not gonna end any better, I feel.

Just a reminder that all music is transient. And maybe to seek regaining enthusiasm by playing music myself, or going out.

Streaming really has killed "listening to music" and being excited about it for me, and I don't feel it's purely because of old age.

Going to revive my Mp3 collection soon from a backup and download my ~25 records worth listening since 2012 then from Bandcamp instead.
And pretty soon afterward, every one of those login page will be circumvented by a bot signup.

I would have loved to have had this option in college. Glad my landlord saved me from humiliation! (And let us be honest, for every useful idiot who thinks they're helping the poor by constraining their options there are ten homeowners who don't want poor people in their neighbourhood.)
Nothing proved the emperor has no clothes better than the crypto trend.

Right, and the app on that device with very similar names work great. The app may not work well on other devices is the point. The issue with buttons as described sounds very much like an app on another device issue. That issue does not exist on the device by the same name as the app.
A society that doesn't support having children won't lead anywhere worth going.

I'm pretty sure that given the support they needed, and a society that didn't program them all the way to want other things in life more; the numbers would look very different.

And that IS the long term problem.

Which is not at all an excuse for not solving other problems, I don't feel it has to be one or the other.

Society very much has, and is, changing; drastically, exponentially.
And in an increasingly destructive direction for quite a while now.

And it will have to change into something more constructive, humane, rational; if it wants to survive at all.
Your translation is dishonest and dumb. Having three kids doesn't mean they were from three different guys.
But that's disorganized!

I have a real filing cabinet. In it, I have folders.

I don't keep my backup car dongle in one folder, my car invoice in another, my warranty and info from dealer all in different folders. They're all in a folder with the car name on it.

The same for my fridge. The invoice, the manual, the warranty info, all in one folder.

It is much more disorganized to have a folder for manuals and put them all there. I have to find the one I want out of 50 such manuals. And if it is a warranty thing, then I need the invoice, and other papers.

Why would I want to keep associated things in different folders?!

You think it's a mess, but really it's not. It's organized for humans to find related things.

Before, I'd uninstall a program and delete its single dotdir. Done.

Now I have to hunt in a maze of madness to "get it all".

You cite some programs that didn't properly keep their data in a single dotdir, and use that as a reason why a single dotdir was bad?!
"The problem is not politicians refusing to retire, but voters refusing to vote them out..."

Or is it the media running cover for the regime and gaslighting the public on the presidents fading mental capacity?
I think people simply do not want to have kids as much as they used to.

Usually these topics emerge with the same three major factors for why people aren't having children:

1. Can't afford to raise a child

2. Concerns about the future state of the world, e.g. climate change

3. A huge loss of freedom

Anecdotally, I personally feel like #3 is by far the biggest reason why people aren't having children. Every time someone in my peer group (mid 30s) announces that they are having a child, there's widespread acknowledgement that we are going to see MUCH less of them from now on.

This is a tradeoff, and those who really want children will still choose to have children. But for those who are deeply engaged in something else -- hobbies, social life, career -- or simply enjoy a low-stress life, having children would upend that. Modern living gives a lot of opportunities to go really deep into a few different facets of life, but most people have to limit that depth once they have children. It doesn't help that modern child raising seems to be endlessly shuffling children from one structured activity to another, with little help from a broader social circle.

Plus, there's less social pressure than ever to have children. If many of your peers aren't having kids, you're not the odd one out anymore.

So I think many people of childbearing age today see a much higher cost in childraising than what people saw in the past. If they aren't especially enthusiastic about raising children in particular, is it a surprise that many are choosing not to?
As a proxy for this consider companies that have better benefits in areas that'd favor middle age / older populations. Example:

Better maternity / paternity benefits: https://www.levels.fyi/benefits/Maternity-Leave/

Sabbatical programs often kick in after a certain number of years. A more structured program could indicate being more receptive to higher tenure / older populations: https://www.levels.fyi/benefits/Sabbatical/
In my next post, one of the major features I write about is pinned projection, and its true: for any type that supports pinned projection, it needs to decide for each field if pinning is transitive or not. This is different from how mutability works (mutability is always transitive).

There is a more elegant design which is basically reversed from pinning, but that's backward compatible with Rust. I also describe that in the next post. This pinned fields vs unpinned fields aspect of the behavior is the "necessary accidental complexity" of existing in the context of all in which we live and what came before us.
I lost a couch to this.
Except the balloon is a metaphor and the ink is hubris.
Exactly.

For instance, couples where both partners need a job in a fixed location have less mobility than couples where one or both can work remotely. Therefore, they are locked into their geographic markets, unable to explore better opportunities.

Brains find familiar things comforting and "good". Brains can also find brand new things, especially experiences that have nothing in common with anything we've encountered in the past, as "bad".

This applies to almost everything. Music is a good example, someone who has only grown up listening to folk music will likely find death metal incredibly hard to listen to, but they may find folk metal a little bit relatable.

Same goes for art, when the classical artists first came out with super realistic portraits, many people found them ugly and repulsive, because they were so different than what came before. Then when things got more abstract, the same reaction occurred.

This is also why people may not like a new song until they have heard it a bunch of times, then it can become one of their favorites! It lights up the "I know this thing" pathways in the brain.

Well food is the same. People from cultures that don't eat cheese are not likely to enjoy a super stinky cheese to start with, but you can likely give them a mozzarella or a super mild Brie and they'll be fine with it (possibly after trying it a few times). Then after their brain gets used to "this is brie cheese, and it is pretty good" they may end up enjoying a slightly more aged/funkier brie cheese, and after a few years down that path they can be eating a wide variety of soft cheeses.

This is why trying food again is worthwhile.
