We‘d have to occasionally bomb all computing infrastructure in other countries to prevent them from training.

It starts to become a problem once you’ve replaced public infrastructure to a sufficient degree by private infrastructure like waymos that avoiding to use them starts to seriously inconvenience people.

Very skilled assembly programmers still can beat compilers, but nearly no assembly is written by humans anymore.

It can be simultaneously true that a group of not very good at something and that that group is the best at doing something.

Intelligence is probably at least partially inheritable. If intelligent people have fewer children you expect intelligence to go down eventually.

The best mathematicians are also not very good at solving the hardest problems though. By definition.

What percentage of the population is expected to get university education today vs the sixties?

Democracy breaks down when you demonize people with different opinions instead of figuring out on why they believe what they’re believing and on which topics you can find consensus. When you assume to know everything about a person by where

Customizing the experience is what the web is all about. The browser is a user agent not an advertising platform for the corporate overlords.

I don’t claim that nobody matches the stereotype.

„If the actors are good“ is doing a lot of heavy lifting. The translators have to be good too btw.

The efficiency of responsibility laundering depends on your social standing. If people like you they welcome reasons not to prosecute you, if you are disliked people might go as far as to start prosecuting you for made up reasons. Instituti

I think that’sa harmful oversimplification. You should avoid arguing against a boogeyman version of your political opponents. People vote for crazy candidates for a multitude of reasons. Most people have fairly average opinions on the major

There is an interesting passage in Moby Dick where they talk about whether whaling could make whales go extinct, but the concern is brushed away as human hubris. How could humans completely destroy something that God created?

It's expensive to build enough batteries to cover a few days with very little generation. Hydrogen and gas turbines currently look cheaper.

You carefully check that the problem is formalized correctly and then trust the Lean machinery to check the proof.

I don’t think that is a majority behavior. Few people consume to own the libs. At least far fewer people than those who just like meat more than they care about their marginal contributions to climate change.

Decades too late unless you suggest we start killing people.

That seems not to be the case in large parts of Europe. Why do you think that is?

To be fair, often that convincing happened at gunpoint. I would want to live in a society that enforced climate action with weapons. But of course politicians could do a lot more to motivate climate action before guns would be needed.

My washing machine doesn’t care how the electricity is produced, but most people can tell a vegan dish from a steak.

While its true that there are no correct or canonical forms for the environment, there are states with large biodiversity and states with comparatively small biodiversity. Generally we regard the former more valuable than the latter.

Struggling with languages is often a function of not putting enough hours into learning them, and less a function of age. Of course finding time can get more difficult after you leave school.

There is nothing that can absorb millions of new workers. If AI destroys jobs to that degree pitchfork manufacturers will be the only ones left in business. Where I live at least right now it is quite hard to find contractors for anything a

If you want AI-proof careers it seems risky to go into knowledge work at all. Robotics lag behind mere computation, so something where you do awkward work in places designed around human bodies seems a lot safer. Plumbing, landscaping or so

But what share of translation dollars are non-formulaic content? To me it seems that there are tons of manuals for dishwasher and such to translate (where from my experience quality basically doesn't matter) and only a limited amount o
