AFAIK it was by design, the US policy makers actively worked for it.

Also, I think the US will have something similar in reverse: Some of the brightest people educated in the US are going back to their home countries because they have visa troubles, social problems or simply better opportunities due to simple things like housing or structural things like the industry moved there.

Also, judging by the enormous hate stream on the social media, many can be nudged to move out of the US to have some piece of mind. After Brexit, many EU citizens choose not to stay in UK even if they had that option because they have become a political subject and since they are not desperate why stay and risk it?

China appear to be the next frontrunner in this. Many times, if you venture outside of the angloshpere you find out that somewhere(often in China) somebody is already doing it at the same level or better.

There probably is going to be a correction at valuations. Cool stuff is happening in China and elsewhere and the USA is in a disarray with idelogies so extreme that are not too far of from the stuff that ruined Europe in the first half of the 1900s. Coup attempts, assassination attempts, election denial, mainstream targeting of group of people, rich looking into capitalising on all that when social disparity is so large that some live like kings others teetering - this is not a healthy society.

The labor market was way different 50 years ago (and especially even a little bit further back), because you generally had one bread winner working e.g. 1930 hours to support an entire family. In 1960 only 7% of households were single person, now it's 38% [1]. So now you have people working 1760 hours to support, in many cases, only themselves.

This [2] site has a plethora of data about the inflection of basically everything that happened in 1971. 1971 was when the US defaulted on its agreements under Bretton Woods, enabling it to begin printing money at its own discretion, which is essentially when our current economic era began. Vast amounts of wealth has been generated, but it has come with costs.

Sadly, this article does not answer the question of why such a concentration of brilliance developed at Göttingen. If we wanted to build a new Göttingen, how would we do it? What factors allowed Göttingen to exist? For most of a century, Germany was leading in most scientific and academic fields, but what allowed this? When we think of the Golden Age of physics we are thinking of a cultural event that had its center in Germany, but why? And why has Germany been so dull and flat ever since? Clearly, building a liberal democracy is not enough to ensure such a cultural event. Much of Germany was liberal but non-democratic during its golden age, as other places were, but what made Germany special at this time?
The authors are basically asking the alignment problem to be well-defined and easy to model. I sympathize. Unfortunately the alignment problem is famously difficult to conceptualize in its entirety. It's like 20 different difficult counterintuitive subproblems, and the combined weight of all the subproblems that makes up the risk. Of course probabilities are all over place. It'll remain tricky to model right up until we make a superintelligence, and if we don't get that right then it'll be way too late for government policy help.
> Well, one of the "challenges" is the one in a different comment: most registrars don't allow fine-grained control over who can update what DNS records.

Afaik, every major registrar allows you to add an NS record for the _acme-challenge subdomain, allowing you to put the _acme-challenge subdomain on a custom, self-hosted DNS server.

That in turn allows you to make the permissions as specific as you'd like. Personally I just run powerdns in docker for this.
> Just because you explain what you want to a human that doesn't mean they agree or will comply.

Humans have innate desires that may conflict with the desires of other humans. A language model just looks for ways to continue texts. In doing so, it attempts to extrapolate what humans who authored the training data thought (If we ignore fabrications, which my approach proposes to address also)

> LLMs don't actually understand or reason about anything.

Current Transformer-based, SGD-trained language models fall short of AGI. But better algorithms can change that. And there is no reason to think that you'll see any warning signs in advance. No one said "I'll invent a faster Fourier transform algorithm in 5 years. Prepare yourselves."
It's our default because for most technology, we have high confidence of a high p(survival).
I think Raymond Lowey's "Most Advanced Yet Available / Accessable" (MAYA) philosophy is adjacent to this discussion. It took me a while, but now realize what Lowey was getting at:

1. The new thing you're pitching has to be recognizable (accessable). Imagine seeing people using early BBSes in the late 70s / early 80s and telling them "this is how you're going to interact with your bank or book a plane ticket." I think most people wouldn't be able to recognize how they could integrate it into their lives.

2. It has to be a clear advancement on what's available. Otherwise, why bother?

What this article tells me is in addition to MAYA, you have to CLEARLY describe what the new thing is so the target audience doesn't have to ponder how they could use it.
This goes against the idea of capitalism. It expects infinite growth. If growth stops, we need a different economic model.

I was bringing it up as a starting point for discussion and to show how UBI doesn’t imply extra spending.

Proponents suggest bring more programs into a single UBI could significantly lower operating costs. A single check each month could replace some or all of: Housing assistance, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), including Pass through Child Support, General Assistance (GA), Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), etc.

Healthcare in the US is similarly split across Medicaid, Medicare, VA benefits, ACA health insurance subsidies, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), plus a host of things you haven’t heard of like Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. There’s a massive opportunity for cost savings by simply reducing administrative redundancy.
Also it's probably important that the immigrants come after a turmoil, so their lives and research are reorganized, getting rid of political/hierarchical baggage and starting fresh with other top minds.
I've been writing an mbox parser with gleam and use is really hard to grok for me. I get the use, but in contrast to nearly everything else in the language, it just isn't clearly composable with other stuff. The moment use is introduced, everything below becomes part of it. It is hard for me to express this, but use feels overloaded with its use-cases in real world.
Except that the iPad does run what they want. Just because the App Store doesn’t have X piece of software doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have Y suitable replacement. In fact, most of the functional equivalents in the App Store are better optimized for the iPad’s unique hardware than a piece of software developed for another platform.

As somebody who has recently (within the last year) replaced his Android devices with Apple equivalents, I initially lamented the lack of some of my favorite apps, but at this point I actually appreciate the functionality and quality of the apps I’ve replaced more than the ones that I miss.
> I also would bet a "sacred book" of some sort also worked as a prerequisite

What you point out is fascinating, and probably right ...

PS. I am wondering if "any sufficiently popular" book might not have done the trick, beyond just "sacred" texts - one of the many knightly tales than making the round, for example.-
Curious if you have any examples of these pains? I'm not familiar with the late Python 2 era but I've been writing Ruby for a long time and wonder if I'm doing some of these as well.
I don't know how use works in gleam but, at first brush they seem very different. Use in elixir basically allows you to execute a macro callback in the module `use`ing the other module. In gleam it seems to be a tool for chaining function calls (maybe closer to `with` in elixir?).
Depending on the company, if they are relatively large employer their recruitment system may be a limiting factor.

The other issue might be budget, again if the company is large budgets may be aligned to a spec or team location or hub. At this point in time a role might be 100% WFH but also for team f2f meetings/gatherings etc it might be more difficult to organise if WFH is across a large country instead of a city and its satellite towns.

Woodrow Wilson's proposed peace deal didn't involve imposing harsh reparations on Germany. That was the doing of Georges Clemenceau, the prime minister of France, who was under pressure to make Germany's reparations bill as large as possible as retribution for the war.

Where do you live that gas stations operate as an monopoly? Gas stations are heavily competitive and operate on razor thin margins.

Those are heavily regulated utilities. In most jurisdictions they don't even have the power to set their own prices, and they can't even cut you off for non-payment without going through months of warnings. They're certainly not going to refuse service because you can't scan an NFC card or whatever.

> recent Acquired episode on Microsoft, where Vista was a Dodge Viper but Windows 7 was a Toyota Camry, which is what users actually wanted.

I assume if anyone associated with Microsoft compared Vista to anything other than an abject failure, it's because they are - at best - broken or defective people who were involved in the creation of Vista, and therefore not objective and not to be trusted in any way.

Dodge Viper? WTF?
this sounds like a good explanation:

> University of Göttingen had more academic freedom than generations past. They were promised intellectual autonomy and freedom from close religious supervision. Instead, they were recruited solely to advance knowledge and carry out original research. The education of students was also more egalitarian than it had been previously in Europe, as both rich and poor were admitted and trained.
I think you'll find that the vast majority of people who work very hard have no hope at all of affording $128k for a luxury item.

A decent fraction of research is open access these days (it's highly dependent on the field, though). That fraction is also growing. We're building systems to access full texts whenever possible.
Or even write a script which is just those commands. Meanwhile every step a user as to do is an opportunity to cause a new and different problem.

I will never understand the sentiment that macOS has been “dumbed down.”

It’s a zsh shell with BSD utils. 99% of my shell setup/tools on Linux just work on macOS. I can easily install the gnu utils if I want 99.9% similarity.

I very happily jump between macOS and Linux, and while the desktop experience is always potentially the best on Linux (IMO nothing compares to hyprland), in practice macOS feels like the most polished Linux distro in existence.

Do people just see, like, some iOS feature and freak out? This viewpoint always seems so reactionary. Whereas in reality, the macOS of the past that you’re pining for is still right there. Hop on a Snow Leopard machine and a Ventura machine and you’ll see that there are far, far more similarities than differences.
Sure, but that indicates institutional rot. If the people who write NTFS drivers (i.e. its devs who love Windows the most) can't push back on user hostility and short-sighted decisions are made constantly then we have a company that has drifted far from its strengths. It is just coasting on brand recognition. This is the kind of trend that is seldom reversed.

"Blanks" are still quite deadly, one notable event:

On October 12, 1984, the cast and crew of Cover Up were filming the seventh episode of the series, "Golden Opportunity", on Stage 18 of the 20th Century Fox lot. One of the scenes filmed that day called for Hexum's character to load cartridges into a .44 Magnum handgun, so he was provided with a functional gun and blanks. When the scene did not play as the director wanted it to in the master shot, there was a delay in filming. Hexum became restless and impatient during the delay and began playing around to lighten the mood. He had unloaded all but one (blank) round, spun it, and—simulating Russian roulette—he put the revolver to his right temple and pulled the trigger, unaware of the danger.[12]

The explosive effect of the muzzle blast caused enough blunt force trauma to fracture a quarter-sized piece of his skull and propel this into his brain, causing massive hemorrhaging.[6][13]

I am sorry to be tangental, as I am not the GP of this comment thread.

However, I am just curious, since you seem to have a very rational opinion on this topic, what do you think about Domain-Driven Design?

It's not technically CA, but from what I have read, the two can commonly be found together.

My understanding that performance issues with DDD are also not a guarantee, but performance is often the first thing sacrificed in order to maintain "domain purity."

In other words, if you were to develop a size > medium project, what would you use as an architecture?

I only ask because I have been attempting to implement DDD after attempting CA, and I am not convinced the juice is worth the squeeze for either one of the patterns. I am not saying that either design pattern cannot work, but at the same time, I also wouldn't say that a Rube-Goldberg Machine cannot work either.

In Europe you have the
Enlightenment with all that entails.

Then in America you have Ben Franklin and then the revolution. Later Charles E Elliot gets frustrated and tours the great schools in Europe only to come back to boston and reform Harvard. Which leads to it being emulated at Stanford.

Later on the US military decides on Stanford to focus on its microwave research for radar setting the groundwork for what becomes Silicon Valley.

This is probably due a more indepth essay.
I think that if civilized people keep tolerating and normalizing warfare long enough then it eventually catches up with them in their own country.

Exactly what you are supposed to do to stop it, I am not sure. But just complete acceptance or even enthusiasm for warfare is not a safe or necessarily sane response.

I also think that part of this is that people latch on to simplified one-sided fairy tale explanations of conflicts.

Call me a hater but I think Microsoft ruined Minecraft. The "secret knowledge" that the author describes is no longer a thing. The game shows you all the recipes. There are way too many blocks now so there's not as much need for creativity in building.

Simplicity made Minecraft a true sandbox. There was no real objective, just blocks and ways to arrange them. Now there's always an objective to get the next magic/powerful item.
...and? "Deflecting blame" isn't a valid argument by itself. You have have to argue why the deflecting isn't justified. Otherwise there's nothing wrong with "deflecting blame" in and of itself. So far as I can tell based on the source in a sibling comment[1], the deflecting blame seems plausibly justified.

No it doesn't, you can't multiply a zero income by any number and put people out of poverty. You can't redistribute wealth by multiplying everybody's income either.

But also, not it's not more feasible either. One is the government taxing money and distributing it by law, the other is a deep and complete intervention on the economy in ways that people don't even can't predict completely.
