If you want to focus on the housing crisis aspect and not the policies that enable addiction, then the answer is still yes.

Capped property tax increases is a moronic empathy law based on “protecting little old ladies on fixed incomes”. It has resulted in an incentive structure that means all home owners are incentivized to block all new housing and keep the value of their homes sky rocketing.

The second level of empathy laws causing the housing issue is all if the ones that empower NIMBYs to stop housing developments.

“Preventing gentrification”, “stopping the character of the neighborhood from changing”, “delays for a 1 year impact study” are all empathy motivated laws that caused the housing crisis in Cali.

You seem to be assuming a specific version of housing first that is by no means the only option, and then dismissing the concept as a whole on that basis.
I think 1e6 h100s could run something that’s intelligent enough to hold a meaningful conversation as in AGI assuming we figured out the appropriate algorithms and training methods.

But your description of Neurons is off. They output chemical signals, which is why painkillers can dull the signal etc. Many drugs bind to receptors on neurons which then block signals which wouldn’t work if these where electrical connections.

The do respond to electrical stimulation, and it’s often said they use electrical signals to carry information along the body of the neuron but the actual signal only moves up to ~120 m/s a long way from how fast electrical signals move. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_velocity

As to simulation of a neuron, the brains got 86 billion neurons and the peripheral nervous system is doing useful work here. A full fidelity simulation of even one neuron is completely off the table simply because it’s an analog system where timing matters to an arbitrary precision, but what’s good enough is really just a question of context. Good enough to test new drugs for depression? No, though good enough to drive a car is a reasonable goal.
The article leans heavily on the word disobedience, but I think it would serve discussion more to emphasize the idea of a 'grey area' to distinguish it better from out-right disobedience. When the author was in tactical command of forces and made decisions to use resources or take actions contrary to stated orders there could have been an argument that the assumptions those orders were given under were found to be wrong and that adapting was crucial to achieving the stated commander's objectives. That would be different than disobeying the order to cover 'USS John S. McCain' when Trump was visiting. No matter how despicable that order was, it was clear that the commander's intent and objectives were being achieved by doing that and that it was a lawful order so to not carry it out would be outright disobedience and not a defensible grey area. Or to put it another way, I highly doubt the author would have lasted more than 1 second after they said 'no' had they been C7F or any of the CO's in the chain that got the order and passed it on when it came out.

The reason it's a popular target is because it's such an embarrassment, denying it or diminishing it makes it more powerful as a war drum. It makes it more excusable for the drummers to exaggerate it, to the extent that the audience feels the alternative view is just flat out wrong.

When there legitimately is no issue then it is what it is, when there is an issue and we can respond "we know, we're working on it, here are the difficulties we face" that's also understandable. But when a political opponent is committed to outright denying something that many people can see for themselves, that's manna from heaven.

I think if you default to seeing things in terms of "alignment" it means that every time your opponent has a point, even a weak one, it harms all the positions that you've bundled together because it's a wedge for someone to go "well team yellow clearly has a point on X while team green is gaslighting, so ...".

Especially when we generalize on one set of opinions to conclude the person we're talking to is 'the other team' and are according evil unpersons devoid of moral value. Every false positive on that judgement call sends another person in to the arms of people who don't jump to conclusions on them.

To depower a political faction we must depower political factionalism -- because factions are primarily created by their opponents.

If you are running less than 30 miles per week or so and don't have multiple injury risk factors (e.g. prior history of injury, being older, female) you can fairly safely run at whatever pace you'd like and know that running more and running faster will help you become faster.

The idea of "zone 2 training" that is peddled sometimes on social media makes no sense if you're not running consistent mileage and actively looking to run faster. At that point, the idea is that you're minimizing injury risk in between 2+ hard efforts per week, while still getting in the miles.

If I knew literally nothing else about Elon Musk other than him being a rich guy backing Trump, and saw him do that arm gesture on stage, I would assume 100% he's a Nazi. But knowing also other things about him, like the fact he enjoys trolling people on Twitter, or the fact he's autistic and sometimes does awkward things, it makes it more likely he intended to do something other than a Nazi salute.

If he was a literal Nazi, don't you think he would have done or said something more incriminating by now? The dude is on twitter shitposting 24/7, surely he would have said something about gassing the jews or whatnot.
I recently changed my thought process on the responsibility of readers and writers. I think it is the responsibility of the writer to say something interesting, and then publish said interesting thing somewhere where it can be reached by readers. I think it’s an element of the modern freneticism of the Internet that we expect instant eyeballs.

Old writing is constantly reinvigorated by new readers. In fact, that is the only way that it can continue to live. It is the responsibility of the reader to decide whether a piece of writing is important or not in their context.

As such, I’ve been blogging quite a bit. Because posting on a blog allows for the critical mass of future readers. Anything interesting that I happen to say can be found through a medium that reaches billions of people.

Today, or in the future.

HTTP is basically the printing press. And my website is my media company.

Just because billions of people aren’t consistently reading what’s written, doesn’t mean that the writer has lost their responsibility to write.
> People always say this, and yet it just seems more like SF is the tip of the spear to changes that the rest of the area faces.

This is not correct. SF gets a superset.

Car break-ins in SF were commonplace 25 years ago. They never became bad in the South Bay. SF just has legitimately bad policies that directly cause a lot of their issues.

The housing crisis is about the only thing it has in common with the South Bay and that’s because it is a state issue.

You’re seeing up a false dichotomy. For one, the fight wasn’t with staff, it was with a random roommate he was paired with. Your equating the two when they’re not equal at all. I don’t know about you but I’ve always gotten to pick my roommates.

So perhaps listening to what the people need instead of forcing them into unwinnable situations is the right answer. If your question is how you scale personalized care in a way that’s financially sustainable I don’t know. But pretending like the orphan crushing machine was turned off, to use your words, isn’t capturing the picture as I’m seeing it. Seems pretty crush happy.

How is it published without context? We know that this is the age field from the social security system. And that the query omits records that are recorded as dead. Therefore, the social security system in America has records that claimed to be for people who are alive for whom the date of birth field is incompatible with that status. That seems like quite a lot of context, actually.

I don't know why some people are finding it so hard to accept that there is likely to be fraud in this system. Look into the determined origins of the so called blue zones to see that every country has problems with this, albeit some more than others. It's the government giving out free money, so naturally it attracts very sophisticated fraud schemes and civil servants are rarely motivated to track it down and investigate properly.

I initially planned to run a chess tournament for LLMs but they are not good: besides obvious mistakes, they output incorrect moves, get stuck in loops by repeating the same moves and the smaller models fail to output valid json frequently. I thought the reasoning models like o3 mini might be good, but they are an incremental improvement in chess.

California is simply amazing.

I understood GP as saying that this data is the best, cleanest data available. If nothing better exists, then record what you have. If that means some fields are blank, well then they're blank - you'll have to deal with this for country-sized databases, one way or another.

I can't really evaluate Newman's preprint [1] with much confidence, but it's only been out since September, and the Ig Nobel isn't peer review. Given also that the US state with the largest count of "supercentennarians" in Newman's data, Iowa, has a whopping 37 [2] of them, you're stretching this piece of un-peer-reviewed research far past anything it could reasonably be asked to support - hence, I suspect, the "are now believed" passive-voice weaseling in your claim quoted above.

Is is obvious that you have never seen the man tweet or be interviewed about anything of substance.

I by chance registered several new Google accounts lately. It was a few months ago so things might have changed.

You don't need a credit card to register a Google account.

As for the phone number, IIRC you do need to provide one during the registration but that number isn't automatically associated with your account, it's there more to prevent spamming I think. Also you can re-use the same number (to certain degree, at least; I have 4 accounts registered with the same number).

Please note that I'm not saying this is ideal, but compared to some other "major" services, Google is actually on the easier side for registering an account.
