What you've described is the exact mechanism through which generative AI will actually kill search on the open web. It's less likely that search will be threatened by the alternative of Q&A with a chatbot as much as by slop ov

No, Chatbot All The Things is the least imaginative use of "AI." There's even a chatbot to search your Chrome history [1]. Nothing screams solution in search of a problem more than this. [1] https://support.google.

Yes, they should. So what are they doing to get those jobs?

Labor unions seem like the wrong model for organizing "knowledge workers." A professional association like the American Medical Association might be a better way to structure things. One difference is how they gain leverage. Labor

If Canada built some walls around its airports and universities, that might actually work.

I read that as "unconditional love [from her]."

This is an overly dour take on children's books. I don't disagree that young people (at least in the US) are told a lie like "Do what you love and the money will follow." I fell for that and tried to become research scie

Maybe all the gains went to the top? Quality of life for the ultra-high net worth set has never been better.

You define "fair" as "whatever the market for a particular sort of job will support," but then throw in a comparison to other, very different lines of work and note some differences. What's the connection?

It would probably have "disproportionate impact." It's really the job of police forces to act on maniac drivers. And they stopped doing so in 2020 for the same reason.

But there was violence. Between Protestants and Catholics, between English-Americans and the newcomers from Ireland, Germany, Italy, Poland, etc. Lutheran Churches were firebombed during the First World War. For example, many German-America

I think what you're proposing will happen, but over time. Birth control has separated sex from reproduction, for anyone with access to it and the desire to use it. So nature's former trick of making sex enjoyable in order to incen

Historically, periods of mass migration have also been periods of immense turmoil and even violence. What will make the proposal to try it again, this time on absolutely unprecedented scale, go better?

It's probably too simplistic to just look at a global average. Developed countries (largely Western and Asian ones) have fertility rates well below their replacement levels, while sub-Saharan African nations (many of which are on food

This is actually really cool. A device that will help take strain off people's legs while recovering from an injury, or let people stay active longer in life or longer throughout the day could have a huge impact on society, if they can

It's interesting to see a nearly linear trend as far back as the data goes (1880). Do you know of any sources to see how that trend might've looked going even further back in time?

This seems like a slippery-slope argument.

After using them recently for financing a house purchase, I recommend everyone take heed of this warning. I went in with low expectations for a mortgage broker and was still extremely disappointed.

https://practicalbinaryanalysis.com/ may not be focused on linking and loading per se, but touches on these topics in a way that felt (to me) more lucid than the book you've linked.

I'm not so sure about either of these, but especially #2. Engineers need to control the behavior of their software very precisely. The fantasy of firing all your engineers and just letting product folks write something extremely high-l

Google would be lucky to become another Microsoft. As things are going now, it's likelier to become another IBM.
