I think this is a really good analogy. Delegating problems to others is nothing novel or new to human experience.

Perhaps the biggest difference is the lack of feedback AI gives that humans can give: a subordinate can communicate if they feel like their manager is being too hands off. AI never questions management style.

I have been installing some PWAs lately at work and... I love them. They have been replacing the need for electron and they also feel integrated with the OS.

In chrome, there is always a button to "bring back" the app from pwa into a browser tab (really nice). There is the option to open links directly in the pwa, you can access your extension from a small icon.
I read that on the specs there might be an option to keep tabs around, for things like notion where your might need tabs (that would be really cool).

Overall, I'm impressed positively. Apple it's right to be scared about those, I would use PWAs for everything that's online for sure, for stuff that's offline probably too.

Excalidraw is great as PWA :)

If you look at fields like mechanical engineering, no, it hasn't, because there isn't much training data for that type of work available on the internet. (CAD isn't engineering.) It's locked up in corporations like Ford, SpaceX, Toyota. There isn't open source mechanical analysis work available at a professional level, which might be an FEA output that references 5 messy spreadsheets that gets written up in a 20 page report with charts, and that references 20 other internal docs, specs. And every company does analysis differently so I'm not sure you could adequately train a model that can generalize it well.

> I'd rather have wheat and no money, than money and no wheat.

This has largely been a settled argument for about 10k years, as we transitioned to agriculture.

Most people prefer buying wheat to growing it.
The world is more than America, FYI. Also, the red states could sell the food to blue states, but just at a much higher margin than they currently do.

Also also, I'm not the one who invented this ridiculous scenario of every state for themselves, that was OP.

That is basically the same algorithm I used. The sieve I used was only mod 10^15 but it sufficed to give the results at 10^13 in a few seconds and 10^15 in a few hours.

It's the natural result of having more and more of our population being complete morons. The truth never goes away, but societies can shift closer to or futher away from being willing to learn and accept new concepts, attitudes, and behaviors.

History is rife with examples: Galileo, St. Francis of Assisi, Boltzmann, Einstein, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Eugene Parker, Bernie Sanders ... the list goes on and on.

Most every tradition in Earth's various societies consists solely of excuses to keep doing the same stupid crap, for the same stupid reasons, with the same willfully ignorant disregard to better ways of doing things.

Only compassion gives us the clear perspective on how we can best apply our energy to lift everyone's boat, without harm or misery to either ourselves or our blessed Earth.

"Same as it ever was." --Talking Heads
First, there is no evidence of any probabilistic processing at the level of syntax in humans (it's irrelevant what computers can do).

Second, I didn't say that, in language, structure implies deterministic rules, I said that there is a deterministic rule that involves the structure of a sentence. Specifically, sentences are interpreted according to their parse tree, not the linear order of words.

As for the birds analogy, the "rules" the birds follow actually does explain the V-shape that the flock forms. You make an observation "V-shaped flock" ask the question "why a V-shape and not some other shape" and try to find a explanation (the relative bird positions make it easier to fly [because of XYZ]). In the case of language you observe that there is structure dependence, you ask why it's that way and not another (like linear order) and try to come up with an explanation. You are trying to suggest that the observation that language has structure dependence is like seeing an image of an object in a cloud formation: an imagined mental projection that doesn't have any meaningful underlying explanation. You could make the same argument for pretty much anything (e.g. the double-slit experiment is just projecting some mental patterns onto random behavior) and I don't think it's a serious argument in this case either.
I feel like my critical thinking has taken a nosedive recently, I changed jobs and the work in the new job is monotonous and relies on automation like copilot. Most of my day is figuring out why the ai code didn't work this time rather than solving actually problems. It feels like we're a year away from the me part being obsolete.

I've also turned to AI in side projects, and it's allowed me to create some very fast MVPs, but the code is worse than spaghetti - it's spaghetti mixed with the hair from the shower drain.

None of the things I've built are beyond my understanding, but I'm lazy and it doesn't seem worth the effort to use my brain to code.

>an even worse Ponzi scheme than government redistribution systems

Government redistributions systems as retirement, are an unsustainable political weapon where politicians keep promising higher pensions in exchange for votes from boomers, which will be extracted by higher taxes on the youth rather than from any economic productivity gains like the stock market. But they youth can choose to not have kids anymore or emigrate out to places that won't fleece them. See Greece.

> but when the stock markets crash, your investments go kaboom because you got duped into investing in Bernie Madoff investments or whatever you have zero recourse.

You either don't understand the difference between the stock market and pensions, or don't understand the difference between investment and speculation. Private pension plans have all kinds of stock in them you can't avoid them, but at least they're based on economic productivity and not working population in your country which doesn't seem to want or able to afford kids.

If the stock market were to crash, as you suggest, then the government based pension would also collapsed because the economy as a whole would collapse so there wouldn't be any jobs to pay taxes for the current retirees.

>During Covid, there actually were a few suicides in the first lockdown era when the markets dipped 20%.

Were those pensioners or people who put their savings in meme stocks? Because long term investors don't fear any dips as they've been long int he market to not be affected by a temporary dip which is cancelled out by the long term gains over 40 years. Since we're talking about pensions, not speculations.

Edit: Never mind, I just realized I was explaining basic economics to someone calling himself "proud Antifa" in his profile.
Given recent news, charging crimes is not really stopping this government.
There's a documentary called "White Diamond", filmed alongside her prep for her "Showgirl: Homecoming" (the previously-cancelled leg of her "Showgirl" tour, after she had to interrupt it for cancer treatment). Much of it is of course focused on Minogue herself and her battle with the disease & return to form, but it also has behind the scenes content on how the show itself is put together, including some footage in the server room.

I've seen similar reporting here and there in TV coverage of her show prep and so on, after an accidental viewing of "White Diamond" made me an interested party.

OpenAI Expects Revenue Will Triple to $12.7B This Year
This is short sighted. Where will all those red state farmers go to sell their food if it doesn't go to the large population centers which are mostly located in blue states? It won't be to USAID, China, or any of the other places that it used to go to who are rapidly going from allies to economic adversaries. So now the farmers have no income to buy anything else they need to live or even repay their loans. Given our allies have figured out that they should target their economic pain at red states, it is likely far easier for blue states to find a new food supplier than it is for red states to create entirely new markets for existing American crops.
> suspect/hope that most employers do not want to see these automatable skills atrophy in their employees, for the sake of long-term efficiency, even if that means a small reduction in short-term efficiency gains from automation.

I wish you were right, but I don't think any industry is realistically trending towards thinking about long term efficiency or sustainability.

Maybe it's just me, but I see the opposite, constantly. Everything is focused on the next quarter, always. Companies want massive short term gains and will trade almost anything for that.

And the whole system is set up to support this behavior, because if you can squeeze enough money to retire out of a company in as short a time as possible, you can be long gone before it implodes
As a thought for you: Red states heavily rely on undocumented laborers in order for farms to survive because even with their heavy subsidies they are not able to afford hiring Americans even at minimum wage. In this scenario where the red states are actively chasing away the workforce they need to survive, how are they going to maintain food production?

How can I prevent my work computers turning my home into an oven?

Powered ceiling vents that pull air into the attic, then powered fans at the front/rear of the home relative to the normal air currents during summer. Fans use far less power than HVAC and will keep the attic dry, free of mold. Some fans also have adjustable though not super accurate high/low temperature controls to automate this process.

If the ambient temperature outside is very hot then another modification would be to have vents in the floor that connect to 300 to 500 feet of corrugated pipe that runs underground over a large area then has a tall intake pipe with a screen. The constant low temperature under ground will bring the ambient temperature to a difference between the outdoor ambient air and the constant 50F/9.9C underground. This would also need some low powered push-pull fans.
> Paul had no reason to make up a figure that challenges his views.

Sure he would. Today we'd call James a strawman. A narrative fiction intended to argue against the author so that the author can pre-emptively debunk any argument from the actual audience. It makes a lot more sense if you consider the writing is intended to outlive the author. You have to present all possible arguments because there's no going back, republishing, or even talking to the audience.

You see strawmen like this a lot in scriptures. It's a pretty obvious tool when you think about it.

But I have no real reason to doubt James existing. The evidence I've seen is convincing enough that I don't doubt that a man named Jesus existed and did historic things. Whether he was a Messiah is a different question.

Always remember that the Bible is a collection of stories. It was intended to be passed down orally and to the illiterate. Oral histories are always dressed up. Either intentionally or mutated through the generations, the stories become more memorable over time, and thus more embellished. It is unwise to treat any religion's scripture as a literal, factual, historical document. They aren't, none of them are. They're all stories meant to teach lessons, and not a technical manual.
I think this is the primary reason I have difficulty with management: my brain simply doesn't really work out (in the fitness sense) in the cognitive way it is used to, but instead has to track all sorts of problems, many of which are emotional/political. Those problems are often emotional/political and thus not really something I can readily solve by thinking real hard about things.

Even harder to grow it in meaningful quantities on a subsistence farming basis.

Which, unless your plan is to blockade the blue states, Canada and Brazil will happily do.
Like your parent, I would consider that cars are, in the same sense, "hand made" both including the small runs of luxury cars (which are "hand made" in the sense where parts might not fit properly because the panel was made by Steve on Monday morning, and he got the measurements a bit wrong) and a generic mid-range SUV that Ford churned out in huge numbers where a "production line" still has humans working on every vehicle, even though they have machines to help them do a consistent job.

We should distinguish two kinds of weaving machine, fortunately my sister is a textile artist so I have to hand exactly the best examples. A few minutes walk from her home is Saltaire, which today is a tourist attraction but was historically economically important. Titus Salt's mill, for which the village provides housing and so on, had the second kind of weaving machine. The Mill produced fabric much like you'd see today, yards and yards of identical material woven at incredible speed.

But for centuries before such mills were built, the first kind of weaving machine had existed. You won't see many in use today, some kinds of University might show them to students, a few museums have one that can be demonstrated. But on the Outer Hebrides there are lots, and that's because Harris Tweed is specifically required to be made this way, on those islands, the same way Champagne has to be made in a specific way in a particular region of France.

It is in principle possible for humans to literally weave fabrics by hand, but it's ridiculously laborious, so the first machine (the one used to make Harris Tweed) makes a lot of sense. But if we're going to (and ordinarily people do) insist this counts as Hand Weaving then it seems also reasonable to say that operating a sewing machine to make a pair of jeans is also hand making clothes.

Luckily the blue states have ample access to multiple other food sources.

They also have access to all the ports importing phosphorus used in the supply chain to produce the fertilizer necessary for the red states to achieve such high yields.

It turns out that the modern world has an infinitely more complex economy and supply chain than just wheat and money
The author claims to be able to tell AI content. I am wondering, is there any test to help me train to distinguish AI content? Like: this paragraph is written by a human this by an AI and see how well we all do?
Not to mention the absolute pile of "mathematics problems" that can't be solved except by pushing symbols around a page, which a calculator is absolutely useless at. So sure I can have a calculator "calculate" an approximation for 4/3 but it can't help me manipulate the symbols around the improper fraction that i need to manipulate to calculate the radius given the surface area of a sphere. And it's of zero help in understanding the relevance of that "pattern" to whatever phenomenon I'm using the mathematics to reason about. That all requires human intelligence.

There are a lot of calculators and other tools that can push the symbols around and many that can even apply some special high-level mathematical rules to the symbols. But whether or not those rules are relevant to the task at hand is entirely a matter for a human to decide.
Let me help you out from the CISA post:

"General Recommendations Apply these best practices to your devices and online accounts. 1. Use only end-to-end encrypted communications. Adopt a free messaging application for secure communications that guarantees end-to-end encryption, such as Signal or similar apps. CISA recommends an end-to-end encrypted messaging app that is compatible with both iPhone and Android operating systems, allowing for text message interoperability across platforms. Such apps may also offer clients for MacOS, Windows, and Linux, and sometimes the web. These apps typically support one-on-one text chats, group chats with up to 1,000 participants, and encrypted voice and video calls. Additionally, they may include features like disappearing messages and images, which can enhance privacy. When selecting an end-to-end"

Nothing in that chat was classified and to the extent that any of it would be, the President and his cabinet members ultimately have final say over what is and is not classified. They are the leadership.

The chat was a discussion mostly concerning opinions on the actions and high level logistics. Actual plans were distributed through CENTCOM.

It's completely ok because it's the President's cabinet. They run the government.

There is no authority higher than the president to determine the status of information.
This is interesting because I don't feel like my directional sense has withered at all because of GPS, but I do think it was important that I develop a sense of how to navigate and use maps before I introduced GPS.

I find this is similar in my experience with AI: I pick up tidbits and tricks from AI when it's doing something I'm familiar with, but if I have it working with a completely novel framework or language it quickly races ahead and I'm essentially steering it blind, which inevitably fails.

well we've done a good job this year showing the alternative of "just let whoever in" is much, much worse. Bravo.
I won't disagree with their findings; however I do think there is some need to counter the narrative that "LLM AI worse for humans". Specifically I think back to an example I use when I would describe why I had such motivation toward study students completing typing practice while learning CS. In short, I use the analogy that when I am browsing the web for code snippets (like extracting files from a tar file), I will explicitly retype out the command rather than rely on copy+paste. My logic is that typing out the command helps build the muscle memory so that someday I'll just REMEMBER the command.

That said, the counter to my own counter is "do I really need to memorize that?" Yes yes no internet and I'm screwed... but that's such a rare edge case. I am able to quickly find the command and knowing that it is stored somewhere else may be enough knowledge for me rather than memorization. I can see Gen AI falling into a similar design, I don't need to know explicitly how to do something, just that that task can be resolved through an LLM prompt.

Granted, we're still trying to figure out how to communicate with LLMs and we only really have 3 years of experience. Most of our insights have come from blog posts and a handful of research articles. I agree that Gen AI laziness is a growing issue, but I don't think it needs to go full Idiocracy sensationalist headline.

Signal allows you to add anyone to a conversation, without any requirement that they be vetted for security clearance, have a Common Access Card, or other centralized identity provider approval. Signal guarantees that you can't spoof the identity of a participant in a conversation (as long as you've verified their keys) but doesn't do anything to limit who you can add to a conversation. The cryptography is secure, but it's not intended for organizational use and doesn't support the sorts of centralized authentication that governments require. So it's not secure for those uses. The Washington Post is correct, but missing nuance.
