Yeah the ADA can both be a good idea, while also having perverse incentives/externalities. Reform is the answer.

I understand perfectly well what you consider virtuous about Berry's way of living. I simply don't agree that those things are virtues; in fact I consider most of them to be the opposite. Understanding another value system does no

That's a different and much weaker claim than “he lived exactly what he preached.” I challenged the latter.

Now there's a damn dense joke, bravo

It's refreshing seeing someone actually engage and propose interesting ideas instead of just bemoaning the status quo/future! :)

Talking to people in the humanities about technology often highlights how smart they're not.

> I think it was the Uplift series by David Brin that has an idea where the old galactic races all speak a perfect language that has no ambiguity, and because of that they have no poetry or jokes. Where can I sign up?

They didn't get different ones, but they may have watched different ones, especially if rich parents/tutor/babysitter controls the TV vs a latchkey child vs a child of a single mother. Not sure I would make any strict claim

Breaking down your sentences and going over them point by point is not a Gish gallop. And you're now resorting to insults instead of answering my points, so we're done here.

Do you have an actual response to the points I made, or are you going to continue appealing to emotion instead? Yes the flooding in Nepal is bad, terrible even. Yes externalities exist. Yes things could be better. That does not mean, and yo

Funnily enough, in 2022 he spoke against a 25-warehouse bourbon campus being built nearby, saying the land was being sacrificed to “tourism and whiskey.” Weird way to support local industry (and his local community) in Kentucky !

> He lived exactly what he preached “He lived exactly what he preached” is an empirical claim, not an interpretation. Can you substantiate “exactly”?

Might I request adding that to the FAQ as well? I do understand the reason, while disagreeing :P

Therein lies the friction, I embrace technology because it reduces my reliance on other people, and I don't value local community over global community (in fact, just the opposite). And I want to end human labor, so you can see why I

I also have the same gripe with the CHM's youtube channel for the same reason. Not everyone they interview is known by name, in fact, most are not.

I thought HN discourages canned responses like yours? Do you have a response to the actual dependency argument?

This is so weird to me, I curate my watch history, and the vast majority of suggestions I get are relevant to me. Am I the only one who does this? (I especially make sure to open any unknown or political videos in a private browser as well)

I grew up in rural Texas, descended from sharecroppers. He's romanticizing a kind of farming that hasn't existed in the US in 70+ years, one that would make it impossible to feed the country.

Why would I care about some anti-tech person? As someone who grew up in a rural area, with family that ran a hobby farm, descended from sharecroppers, there's nothing to romanticize. Edit: but really, I can't see any possible reas

They probably saw that report years ago of copilot dumping out the fast inverse sqrt function, and assume that's all they can do. From experience most anti-LLM people have either never used them, or used them back in the 3.5-4 era and
