The first several (10s or even 100s) will be run, most likely from test stands, then ripped apart and combed over for hot spots and cracks. Id even expect them to build some with shittier materials specifically to see how it causes them to

The flaws I see in this logic are: 1) It ignores the existence of critical thresholds. I can keep cooling water by 1 degree and it will keep being water until suddenly it is not. We have no reason to believe consciousness does or doesn&#x27

Bettors have the financial incentive to consider all possibilities as objectively as possible. Pundits have the financial incentive to become memorable caricatures.

I've completely given up on comments that aren't "here is the problem this code is solving". The comments end up being actually useful that way, and longer lived in their validity. Anything more granular than that, the c

Pull only works if you know what you're looking for. You'd end up researching race horses when you needed a moped.

They likely thought they'd be able to front run any issues. VCs don't invest to build viable businesses, they invest to make money. You can make a lot of money as an insider to a Ponzi scheme.

I think the debt model is more true to what a currency is supposed to represent though. You can ignore the entire regulatory structure and just imagine there was some magic substance that was created out of thin air whenever you gave someon

It is more likely a regulatory failure, I believe. The market will do what the market does, raise prices for nurses until there are more. If nurses are in high demand, yet wages aren't rising, then there is either collusion among the e

This is definitely a thing, and diet/sleep/activities can influence it as well. Different people have variable ratios, and genetics certainly play a role in the variability.

It has been the latter for the lifetime of computers' existence. Personally, I see no reason for that to change in the near future. AGI will happen, but we will still want human's directing it's efforts.

Who tells GPT what to write? Who verifies what is written? As long as you need a human in the loop, that human is the programmer. Programming will never go away, the job just changes.

Externalities and profit pursuit are exactly why it functions at large scale. Those things exist in every economic system, capitalism streamlines how you direct them. > At-scale, we need some form of production that much more closely mea

No, but capitalism is the sole source of international trade. So those resources only come when they engage in voluntary exchange. International trade is the most libertarian of all markets, because there is no centralized oversight, so all

IMO, the best solution to the problem is friction. Criminals are criminals because it's easy. If opening a fraudulent store is 90% as difficult as opening a legit one, no one is going to bother.

My point was that "seems" is probably based on performative information, like Instagram, not that 20 year olds are doing great. People who work hard downplay how hard they work. People who got lucky play up how hard they work. Obj

A family friend made 20+k in a summer, spray painting curbs 10-ish years ago. You can still make a lot of money in dumb-sounding niches.

> but if the language has other perks making up for that, it might still be worthwhile. Totally agree, I just think for the vast majority of developers, the trade off here isn't worthwhile. This is reflected in Haskell's stagna

Day one experience matters a lot to most people. For better or worse, your community won't grow if newcomers have to spend a day hating things first. It won't matter if you're looking for a language to make your baby for the

> You gave up using a programming language after a day? And Haskell after installing/building some dependencies for 20mins... I'd do the same. It's 2022. There are so many options without this friction, why would you fight

> The original post which set off this chain asserted it was about not how much workers get done but how much money is made off of what workers get done... which is unambiguously wrong I don't believe the difference is consequential

I think this is exactly what parent meant. "How much is made" doesn't strictly mean "profit" in terms of a for-profit institution. The net output of a non-profit is directed somewhere, either internal or external to

> I disagree. I use causality on a day today basis. For example, with people I know I build a model of how they like to be interacted with, and I try to stay within a range that they will find pleasing. Is that model based on information

Causality is only useful in geopolitics on extremely large timescales. It's useful to inform future behavior to some degree (if someone replaces Putin, will they have similar motivations?), but most responses are, by necessity, reactio
