This is exactly my perspective as well. Seeing humans as inherently valuable is the key. It's shocking to me that so many people seem to have been reducing humans to the results they are able to produce and now that the results appear to be drying up, their perception of their own human value is going down with it.

A science?

I agree. Most human-generated content I've run across on the internet over the past couple decades has been fairly low quality and, to be honest, most of the self-admitted LLM-generated content is higher quality. I'm continually surprised that so many consider any content written by humans to automatically be more worth their time to read.

I'm much more interested in the content itself than the author that wrote it.

This 100%. We're in the middle of an AI Manhattan Project and if "we" give up or slow down, another company or country will get AGI before "us" and there's no coming back after that. If there's a chance AGI is possible, it doesn't make sense to let someone else take the lead no matter how dangerous it could be.

Society is just a lot of people.

Things in general across the board getting more expensive is a symptom of inflation, true. But I don't see how just a subset of businesses raising prices necessarily causes long term inflation. Even if all the existing grocery stores collude to raise prices together, that would just create market pressure for other grocery stores to pop up that can undercut and obtain a large amount of market share from the colluding businesses. So sure, there may be a blip of "inflation" while the market corrects and the new businesses start up, but overall it shouldn't cause actual inflation.

Ah, so you're talking about CPI. Then in that case I agree. It's not clear that CPI == inflation, though.

How could grocery stores (and food supply chains) cause inflation?

This seems to be the root of most, if not all, economic disagreements. It's just so hard to objectively measure these things.

There appears to be an error in the correction posted in August of this year. See if you can spot it.

Traubenfuchs' profile appears to indicate it's a GPT-3 bot.

Any chance it could be MTU related? Sounds like the issue is only popping up when attempting to use full packets.

The whole point of the free market is choice so that when people realize that certain things are unhealthy, they are able to switch to something else. Also, we aren't exactly in a free market at the moment: https://farm.ewg.org/progdetail.php?fips=00000&progcode=soyb...

This exactly. You have summed up my thoughts better than I could. I am also interested to hear from the downvoters.

Came here to say this too. My wife and I both got them and we've been 100% satisfied. Fantastic product.

The way it's written this seems like it's exclusive. But it appears that both cases are possible at the same time. Maybe I'm reading the "OR" too much from the colloquial sense instead of the mathematic sense compared to "XOR".

This view, though probably correct, is incompatible with democracy. We can't have rule by the people if the people aren't capable of ruling themselves. I still believe democracy is the best way forward, but it depends on critical thinking and there seems to be a decline in that area recently.

My thoughts exactly. I can't believe anyone is advocating for censorship regardless of the accuracy of the content.

Why would an IQ test for admissions be ridiculous? Any knowledge test at all will eventually test and select for higher IQ so there’s really no getting around it unless all ability-based admissions standards are dropped.

Is he talking about Bitcoin specifically or cryptocurrency as a whole? If just Bitcoin, yes, I agree that the transactions per second (TPS) is too low for global adoption. But as far as I know, there's no technical reason it has to be that slow for all cryptocurrencies. Ethereum 2.0 is supposed to support 100,000+ TPS according to Vitalik. https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/127796159495847116...

Availability zones are unique for each account. So my zone A could be your zone C, for example.

You bring up very good points. I certainly don't trust most if any of the other critical pieces of the stack. I think those are attack vectors or points of failure as well and that risk needs to be mitigated. But on the other hand, the NPM package web is much larger and the barrier to entry is much lower so I would consider it to be much higher risk than the rest of the stack.

We as an industry need to put work into reviewing, simplifying, and increasing visibility at all levels of the stack, especially firmware. We're building high and fast and while standing on the shoulders of giants is a great place to be, we need to make sure the giant is more than just a house of cards.

It's a minor problem until it becomes a major one. All it takes is one common dependency to go rogue or a bug to be exploited without the maintainers being around to fix it and a large part of the ecosystem becomes unusable. Using a dependency implies an element of trust and now we have a huge web of trust between thousands of maintainers that we really have no way to check. The larger that number grows, the higher the chance of catastrophic failure.

It's impossible to make essential complexity disappear but it is certainly possible to reduce incidental complexity. Most software is much more complex than it needs to be and Kubernetes is no exception.

This is the hardest for me. It's almost like those two forces are in opposition to each other. I'd love to find an industry where they could align.

The headline and the article are both poorly worded.

"The team found that for every gram of alcohol consumed a day, the brain aged 0.02 years — or, seven-and-a-half days. (The average can of beer or small glass of wine contains 14 grams of alcohol)"

It makes it sound like every drink you have ages your brain by a week and that's not actually what the study says. What it really says is if you have one drink a day for an entire year, it ages the brain 11 days.
