I am not sure why all the replies are indicating you are anti-science or anti-vax.

It is annoying to be told something from your doctor, internalize it, have your doctor suggest flu and covid vaccine for years but never HPV, and then be told on HackerNews "you should have the HPV" and now I am supposed to tell my doctor I can do his job better than him because I read something on the internet even though most doctors specifically grimace when you do that?

I think their Epic Health computer system that needs me to confirm my date of birth every 6 weeks can find some time to suggest the HPV vaccine if it is so damn medically necessary.

Who owns the AI, demanding payment for its use? Who owns the GPUs that the AI runs on? Who sold those people the silicon? Who owns the real estate upon which the GPUs run? All those people will demand payment for services rendered or goods delivered.

My personal favorite: Who fixes the AI when it breaks?

The lawn mower replaced human work, but it needs _just enough_ direction that it's still worth money for humans to run them, auto-run lawn mowers notwithstanding.

AI will make people faster, but humans will only do work for other humans that do their share by giving value back.

I don't believe we will ever live in a world where people won't want people working for them, or doing something for them.

> Both in big picture sense like high fructose corn syrup vs sugar cane, but also on ingredients.

This is an interesting one. I was of the impression that HFCS is worse for you than sugar cane, but in the past when I've repeated that statement here, I've had people disagree with it.

But, I just found this meta-analysis – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9551185/ – which suggests an association between HFCS consumption and increased CRP (C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation)

A study (standard IN MICE disclaimer) suggesting that HFCS may contribute to NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) and NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) – https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/how-hig... – and NASH sometimes (not always) progresses to liver cirrhosis, plus it also significantly increases the risk of liver cancer. The proposed mechanism is that fructose causes greater injury to the intestinal lining than other sugars, and the injured intestinal lining allows more bacterial toxins into the liver, which causes liver injury.

Who cares if anyone buys the art? In a world with basic income where people didn't have to worry about survival wages, people could make art just because they were moved to make art.
The real issue is people are still treating this reactionary buffoonery as if it's a trade policy that warrants critique. It isn't. Trump is a fucking idiot and he has surrounded himself with other fucking idiots and they and the reactionary base of fucking idiots they've created are cheering him on for doing fucking idiot things.

A journalist successfully reverse-engineered the likely formula used to arrive at the figures for each nation, and it's not only implemented stupidly, it's also wrong from first principles. It's the same thing an actual school child might come up with if you asked them to. This is the same kind of "economic policy" cooked up by dumbasses on reddit who sincerely believe they are qualified to "fix US trade."

If our congress wasn't also packed full of ineffectual liberals and other fucking idiots, he'd be impeached by now for sheer incompetence.

It's the same issue we had in the last Trump admin. This nonsense is elevated to undue credibility by serious people discussing it seriously. It shouldn't be debated, it should be mocked, relentlessly, mercilessly, cruelly. As should Trump himself, as should his supporters, as should his sycophantic followers. Mock, belittle, make fun of, bully, parody, just continuously until every single one of these people refuses to approach a microphone.
I find the most consistent explanation for Donald Trump is he does whatever is going to keep himself the top news story in the media. I don't think there's any deeply held belief other than if he doesn't think people are talking about him that's bad
I'm a big fan of "reading the reference", but documentation often does not cater to that use case anymore. Instead of curling up with an authoritative book (like the Perl, Python, C, or C++ books, the dtrace book, or the O'Reilly X11 or BSD reference manuals), I get to, in the better case, click around a 1000 page web site, or, in the worse case, watch 50 videos covering 10% of the functionality.

It will be impressive, if Claude was trained on scientific literature about SAT solvers and tutorials about programming language in question, without access to any real SAT solver code. But it is not the case.

Why do you need LLM-generated code when you can take original, which was consumed by LLM?

Or, I could ask another question: Could Claude give you SAT solver which will be 1% more effective than state-of-art in the area? We don't need another mediocre SAT solver.
German engineering etc was famously rather good before the war too. The Ruhr valley is part of the reason for this: energy sources (coal) and minerals (iron, copper, etc) very close together. It was the ideal setting for an industrial awakening.

Also, even after the marshall plan, Germany kept its existing advantages in industry in large part simply by actually encouraging them to exist. The UK has no industrial policy and actively shed most industries in the 1980s, relying instead on direct investment and deliberately not growing domestic companies.
The question here is not whether congress has to pass something, the question is can congress delegate this authority which is explicitly set by the constitution.

There were a bunch of sentences regarding non delegation of powers of congress, mainly for federal agencies, and courts deciding that congress can't delegate those faculties, so, by the book, this would be a similar situation. There is actually an ongoing case for this aspect of the discussion:

That was an example off the top of my head. Is that the most represenative sample? Another group that doesn't need money includes doctors, lawyers, and executives in their 40s and 50s. I don't see many of them quitting the moment they're able. What do you feel the appropriate rate for the entire population is? What's the rate required to sustain society?

The only decision I intend to make (and the only one I feel qualified to make) is that I'd like to see more data. We shouldn't be making decisions off of assumptions either way.

No. Because there wasn't any significant trade barriers to the EU from the US up till last week.

And then today all the tarrifs are suspended (down to 10%) so it's hardly like there's a reliable advantage there.

Not that it’s the point of what you’re saying, but at 300k, a 15k yearly payout would be 5%. I'm almost certain that no-one would ever give a 5% inflation adjusted annuity to an 18 year old for 300k.

All that to say that the value you propose is probably even higher than what you lay out.

> "Objects" implies a few more properties than a simple data carrying container:

Agreed. Of course, strictly speaking, a relation is specifically a set of tuples. But if you are working with a SQL database, which has been implied, you are already long past that idea, so it is understood that we're speaking of the concept somewhat more loosely. An instance of a class with a set of basic properties nestled in an array would still reasonably be considered a relation as it pertains to this discussion, as far as I am concerned, and seemingly you too. Fair to say you haven't meaningfully changed the semantics of the data in that.

But that doesn't mean you won't need to map to objects. You almost certainly will at some point in a reasonably complex application, even if only to interface with third-parties.

there was much ado about chlorinated chicken a few days ago. apparently the US washes chicken carcasses with chlorine to disinfect them, whereas that's illegal in the EU, which has more stringent farm cleanliness standards instead. I think there's similar issues with an arsenic compound (seriously!) being fed to chicken as some sort of antibiotic.

iirc Trump did say he wanted EU to accept our livestock to reduce the trade deficit, leading Lutnick to memorably proclaim "They hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak!"

There's a way to remember smaller and smaller bits of it until you terminate at a piece small enough to remember permanently.
Because the nature of their operation (learning a probability distribution over a corpus of observed data) is not the same as creating synthetic a priori knowledge (object permanence is a case of cause and effect which is synthetic a priori knowledge). All LLM knowledge is by definition a posteriori.
It's easier to remember if you use a more common notation:

Or express it in python, which is still a bit weird but probably still more readable than pure LC to pretty much everybody:

return lambda x: f(Y(f)(x))

"It's not that bad" they told me – Coreboot
I am extremely skeptical that a president and a party that massively increase the national debt every time they hold unified control, and whose single legislative goal this year is to do exactly that once again, is engaging in a sophisticated conspiracy to lower interest payments. If Trump and the GOP actually cared about the debt payments they wouldn't be arguing about how many trillions of dollars to add to it this year.

The much more likely scenario is that this is exactly what it looks like: an incompetent and corrupt president flailing around. Tariffs are an excellent tool for soliciting bribes since there are any number of ways various groups can be exempted, and this type of abuse has often happened historically. The ham-fisted way they have been implemented has done a great job of getting Trump attention. I've never seen anything to make me think that Trump cares more about the long term health of the country over getting bribes and attention for himself.

>At the moment we're trying to give security backing for Ukraine and you're asking us to give up our fishing rights for the honour of helping secure Europe.

You are not trying to secure Europe, you are trying to sell something to Europe. We would rather build capacity to make whatever you want to sell us ourselfs.

I agree we should work closely together, more so after US started dancing naked around burning brides. But everyone is looking into how to secure themselfs, without depending on 3rd party, and from EU's perspective UK is on the outside (even if not as crazy as US has become).
>> Seems like fair level?

No, it does not seem fair for Europe to take measures to dramatically reduce European consumption of US exports when the US does not take measures to dramatically reduce consumption of European exports. To be fair, the US would need to do something to dramatically reduce US consumption of European exports.

And I happen to know just the guy to do it.

Seems like fair level?

Well we're not talking about career success, we were talking about comparisons of nation states. Having an IQ advantage there might prove marginally more helpful, but it's not really that important. I'd argue physical size and strength of a people are even more important than IQ when we're looking at across the board averages. Plus you have things like, idk, access to raw materials, geographic advantages, cultural advantages or disadvantages, systemic advantages or disadvantages including strong or weak institutions, training programs, etc. In fact, if you wanted to do a comparison between America and China you'd really have a lot better things to look at to show China as better than IQ.

With respect to "career success" you can have 50 million people in your country with IQs >140 and there's still a limited market to sell to. There are diminishing returns on capacity - you can have business analysts or call center folks with the IQ of Einstein and they'll be limited by the systems they are placed in.

The other side of this is that just because you are smart doesn't mean you are capable of doing well in the real world. Recall how there are a lot of "dumb rich people" and "smart poor people".
No, the OP is correct. Windows updates totally did that. For the most part that stopped when Component Based Servicing got rolled out (Windows Vista).
How bad is the bill?
> Because when your national budget depends on cheap debt, you can't afford a crisis of confidence in your bonds.

True. The odd thing is that the previous tariffs announcements on supposed allies, plus all the other sabre-rattling that Trump has been doing, NATO-bashing, flipping on Ukraine, etc., had already triggered a crisis of confidence. So what did they expect? That unexpectedly unleashing of wildly unreasonable and poorly-calculated tariffs would inspire _more_ confidence? If getting investors to flock to T-bills was the goal, it was always bound to fail. (It only worked in the short term because T-bills are the default in a time of market uncertainty; but when it became clear that the uncertainty was caused not by the market, but by the government's behavior, well then T-bills don't look so good anymore).
I think the no massive sweeps is that there's just not capacity to do that ... not at a super massive scale.
At large scales why shouldn't it matter whether you're beholden to Google's cloud only vs having options to use AWS or Oracle or Azure etc. There's maybe an argument to be made about price and efficiency of Google's data centers, but Google's cloud is far from notably cheaper than alternatives (to put it mildly) so that's a moot point if there's any efficiencies to be had Google's pocketing it themselves. I just don't see why anyone should care about this chip except Google themselves. It would be a different story if we were talking about a chip that had the option of being available in non-Google data centers.
I think that's very fair, we've got quite a lot of momentum behind reducers at this point though. That doesn't make it a good, name but it is a sticky one.

The people on the left who want to see a disaster play out are mostly accelerationists. I think most on the left would worry more about the harm that economic disaster would be inflicted on people.

And more pragmatically, I think that Trump is so committed to causing disasters that he's likely to succeed at enough of his attempts that there should be pushback to as much of it as possible.
