The Ancient Egyptian god Thoth invented writing and presented it to the King:

"This invention, O king," said Thoth, "will make the Egyptians wiser and will improve their memories; for it is an elixir of memory and wisdom that I have discovered."

The king replied:

"This invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them.

"You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise."
It’s one thing to be upset and angry about capitalism and businesses. How does a person go from there to being able to commit premeditated murder because it means seeing a human being die in agony. That’s a jump of several magnitudes. It’s terribly sad.

That's a decently high bar I think ?

I don't think we're ever going to get around the concept of staking money for a return.

However, we can certainly push for a tax structure that curbs the power of old money and better rewards labor, if we choose to do so.
Yes, that's how it works. Radiation hits a body, it glows at a temperature at which it radiates the same amount of energy hitting it and that's the steady state. This applies to every body in the universe, radiation hitting the earth will undergo entropy and escape.

When you "heat" the earth as in global warming heating, what you're doing is making that radiation get trapped for slightly longer. This necessarily means slightly less glow than before. Then, the glow climbs back up and it reaches a new steady state, where the radiation hitting equals the radiation emanating, and in that state the temperature in the interim between getting hit and re radiating may be a little higher.

The last few times flying back from EU through CDG, security funnels all US passports (and Brazil and South Korea maybe?) through a face ID gate for passport control. There was no signage communicating an opt out policy, although it’s my understanding that opting out is allowed. Flight connections have always been fairly tight though, so I didn’t press the issue unfortunately, and was unsure of the rules at the time. I opt out domestically, although it seems this is so infrequent they just have the camera scanner running as soon as you walk up, before you can even get close enough to request normal screening.

> Doesn't it strike anyone as wrong that we should be entitled to essentially guaranteed returns for retirement savings?

The only guaranteed returns are nominal government bonds (currently about 4.5%) and inflation adjusted government bonds (currently about 2.15%). Everything else has a risk component. And even the inflation adjusted one is under the assumption that you agree with and trust the government’s calculations for inflation.

The more general concept that you’re entitled to keep money you already have or that you’re entitled to the gains of money you already have (or the risks you took) is fundamental to capitalism. If you’re going to throw that concept away, you’ll be hard pressed to find a working long term example of success.
Well, it's not really luck. It's exactly because there's cctv in enough places that they were able to get his photo from the one moment he lowered his mask at the hostel, but even more significantly that they were able to piece together his movements enough to be able to suspect that the guy at the hostel was the same one that carried out the shooting. Then it was a matter of distributing the photo and hope someone recognizes him. And offering the reward ofc. Very simple but not luck.
Not exactly, they can just reverse the entire chain.

It has potential to be incredible from a safety perspective and will save lives (I have an inreach but there are many people in the backcountry who don't, which makes sense given the cost and pricing model).

Kind of a silly take in my opinion. While it's may be true that the majority of money in a medical transaction (which is inflated) doesn't go to the insurer, it goes to the provider, it doesn't change the fact that "insurers" absolutely add a layer of uncertainty to the process. In times of uncertainty (ie: getting sick) anything that adds uncertainty will rightfully be hated.

In Canada, their system has a number of major shortcomings. But in college when my girlfriend got appendicitis, I just took her to the hospital without worry about in/out of network, and without worrying about if we'd get a claim rejected after the fact and have our small college student bank accounts drained. That is huge, and should not be underestimated. Here I do not have that luxury. Even though I have plenty of money saved up, it doesn't ever feel like enough. If one of us has a major illness, it can get wiped out due to a claim denial. And who makes the approve/deny choice?

The author of that post does some bad thinking here by completely missing the source of the vitriol directed at insurers. While providers do charge out the ass, at least they are doing something useful, while in these times of great uncertainty and pain, insurers only rent seek, blood suck, and do not offer anything of value.
Comparing this to the bigoted lynchings of an oppressed race is beyond idiotic.

> According to the cybernetician, the purpose of a system is what it does. This is a basic dictum. It stands for bald fact, which makes a better starting point in seeking understanding than the familiar attributions of good intention, prejudices about expectations, moral judgment, or sheer ignorance of circumstances. - Stafford Beer

If a system prioritizes copyright claims from the largest firms as casus belli against independent creators, and there are no attempts to reform such system and no recourse for independent creators, than we can only conclude such criminal negligence as intention, formalized within the priorities encoded within such a system.

I just saw this a few days ago with Youtube channel Esoterica, which had a 10-second public domain recording of Chopin which was falsely flagged as copyright infringement. Dr. James Justin Sledge of Esoterica, despite having fair use of the clip, ended up commissioning an artist with an original recording (complete with unique changes to the public domain work) to avoid any confusion, but still got a takedown from UMG's copyright AI. As with any law, if public domain fair use isn't enforced, and to contest it is prohibitively expensive (as legal battles are often wars of attrition), then the public domain is useless, and major firms such as UMG can just function as feudal lords demanding the proceeds of any tenant peasant's work. As economist Yanis Varoufakis says, capitalism has been subsumed by techno-feudalism.

>Both support the current private health insurance system that most people are angry about.

Notably, Tim Walz (VP candidate) praised UHC in a press comment after the shooting: "a terrible loss for the business and health care community", "Minnesota is sending our prayers to Brian's family and the UnitedHealthcare team". Amy Klobuchar said: "My thoughts are with Brian Thompson's family and loved ones and all those working at United Healthcare in Minnesota". So Democratic Party leaders were very much big supporters of these health insurance companies.

A defined benefit pension can't guarantee anything either and you have no control over that risk. Ask anyone who received pennies on the dollar because the "backstop" went bankrupt with an inadequately funded pension.

The big advantage of a defined contribution plan is that you control your risk of loss. If you feel stocks are too risky then don't invest in stocks.
> It just doesn't seem fair that someone who put in money earlier should have so much more than someone who started later, or was never able to

Nor would it be fair that someone who made sacrifices to save should have the same money as his neighbor who just spends it all because he wants to.

I'm guessing what you wrote is not what you meant, but of course those who save for a longer period will have more. Assume there are no investment gains. You're putting money in a 0% interest bank account. Are you suggesting it's unfair that the person who puts more money in ends up with ... more money?

There's plenty of GPU renderers but they face the same challenge as large language models: GPU memory is much more expensive and limited that CPU memory.

A friend recently told me about a complex scene (I think it was a Marvel or Star Wars flick) where they had so much going on in the scene with smoke, fire, and other special effects that they had to wait for a specialized server with 2TB of RAM to be assembled. They only had one such machine so by the time the rest of the movie was done rendering, that one scene still had a month to go.

Your proposed alternative to corporate healthcare is what? Government-run healthcare? How does that solve the problem of a single entity being able to unilaterally raise prices or restrict coverage, or allow patients flexibility to change their hospital in an emergency?

Are you claiming that government-run healthcare will make better decisions at minimizing cost than private healthcare? What other industry have you found the government to be better at minimizing cost than the private sector?
Whatever his motivation, it has seemed to me that if you put enough people in a certain kind of pressure cooker, with no way up, no way out, and a clear target, you've created a pretty volatile situation where rational people start acting rationally.

Granted, you'd need to be in a very dark place, but it doesn't take the greatest stretch of the imagination to create a hypothetical scenario in which someone just thinks to themselves "Well shit, I guess I don't have too many options here, and the only thing stopping me is the tacit acceptance that I shouldn't use violence". People do have addresses after all, and perhaps should be more afraid than they are of screwing people at a large scale.

> All he had to do was continue to fly under the radar for a few more weeks until everyone forgot about it.

That is seriously underestimating the attention span of law enforcement. I’m not saying that they would have caught him for sure, but they have motivation and means to keep looking far longer than a few weeks.

> Being on the lam implies they knew his identity; they did not.

At the minimum they had a picture of his face. That stuff will stay in databases indefinietly and face recognition is only getting better. They might have had his DNA from objects he interacted with or things he discarded. They could have traced his burner phone to locations he previously frequented, or where he bought it from. They could have traced him via video surveilance further along his escape and tied him to a location or a car.

None of this is guaranteed to work. There is a certain amount of luck involved. But just because after a few days they didn’t know who he is, doesn’t mean they could not have found him months or years down the road.

No. The threat Ted was trying to fight was way too abstract with no real solution because people love technology too much.

But there really is no doubt that our current US healthcare system is a complete failure as a method of providing affordable healthcare to people who need it. Instead it has been warped by greedy psychopaths like Brian Thompson into a a system that enriches greedy psychopaths by denying lifesaving care or even just care that would drastically improve quality of life. The $20 billion of "profit" that united health made last year is simply healthcare they denied their customers.

Overproduction theory, whether you believe it or not isn't really about engineers.

The idea is that you get a lot of elites which are highly educated and expect high positions in society, but end up bitter because reality falls short. Engineers break with this because in general they are actually quite well compensated.

The targets of the theory are essentially people with non-stem post-secondary degrees

> I think the pursuit of fidelity has made the models less creative over time, they make fewer glaring mistakes like giving people six fingers but their output is ever more homogenized and interchangeable.

That may be true of any one model (though I don’t think it really is, either, I think newer image gen models are individually capable of a much wider array of styles than earlier models), but it is pretty clearly not true of the whole range of available models, even if you look at a single model “family” like “SDXL derivatives”.
It already has good tracking because most people aren't living in the middle of nowhere with no cell coverage. They're not worried about you going off the grid the 1 or 2 times a year you go camping in yellowstone or whatever.

I have a pretty staunch policy for my kids. I don't mind paying for something if price us reasonable. Malware, nagware, adware however? No.

However there's two parents. So I draw a firm line at malware but allow adware. Especially also since grandma is OK with playing a F2P game with them helping them get past the ads. On the bright side: they certainly do learn to hate advertising. And dark patterns. Their little fingers are better at clucking the small X than mine!

Either way, I will figure out how to stop the nonsense without paying the mob my overly expensive contribution.
Is that still the case? IOMMUs have been a thing for a very long time, and nowadays you don’t trust random devices anymore. Certainly a Thunderbolt port (which is PCIe-via-string) does not want to expose memory unrestricted, and while you might be tempted to think that a built-in PCIe card could be under more lax policy because it’s considered “physical access”, you don’t actually want the driver code for that card to be a wide open attack surface for the rest of the system.

He attempted to lecture her about what her son was doing but her only response was something like “ok, why are you calling me?” I think she may have also admonished him for wasting her time on the morning of a workday. He came back red faced but I’m not sure it was anger or embarrassment. Either way I got a ticket.
