now we'll see if it has the intended outcome without having to try it out for ourselves

I think the idea is to pay american citizens more but to devalue the dollar vs other currencies so that in fact we're paid less than the immigrants would have been paid in big macs, gold, or other global standards.

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy... so that their children can study painting, poetry and music

Now that we know this, how can we use it to benefit people. There must be decision support systems that can be targetted to assist people with the more mundane future likelyhoods. For example to support decisions on borrowing money to buy a house or a car.

can't iron dust do the same thing ?

is it cheaper than 100G Ethernet ? If so, can I run IP over it ?

How are they going to identify all the American contributions to Linux and strip them out to achieve their aims ?

There's only one thing worse than blaming the customers, it's blaming the former customers.

I blame uinicode for getting rid of the two-character winking emoji (and for making it two bytes longer)

:(

I'm guessing this is much cheaper than cleaning up the rivers and restoring the land. At least it sounds environmental and creates some jobs.

considering almost everyone "uses" AI every time they do a google search I suspect the responses varied depending on the interviewee's impresion of what "using AI" means

Mute Barbie could be anything - play directed by the child.

AI Barbie will, I fear, impose structure to the interaction that is un-necessary and detrimental

true cause and blame don't always match

I think there is too much obsession with ID. Real ID is just more security theatre and in a few years I predict that even that will be declared "not enough", and there will be a need to embed body parts from everyone in your family tree into the card or some such nonsense.

This was mostly done in the name of combatting the kind of terrorism exhibited on 9/11 but I think all the perpetrators of that had valid IDs, were not shy about their public identities and were living openly in the US. I woudl challenge any proponent of RealID to show how it might have prevented 9/11. More stringent ID laws seem to me mostly about finding new levers of control, new ways to gate access to things that are part of everyday life for ordinary people which are now marked as privileges and expecially predicating that on your origins.

Why not concentrate on getting everyone to be well behaved in society and less on their family history. After all, there is nothing special stopping someone from Mississippi moving to California to seek a better life so long as they follow the laws in California, and Mississippi still has residents. I see no reason to bar others based on something arbitrary like the circumstances of their birth.

The new IDs seem to be focussed on origins and less on establishing a useful and safe identifier. In my opinion they are more obsessed with maintaining purity than keeping people accountable. I agree it is hard to not intermingle the two concepts, but that's why we have smart people

I have to wonder how much AI progress will be governed by having more compute available, and how much by researching how to make it more compute-efficient or developing approaches that extend its capabilities without growing the model.
