Fair enough from a pedantic point of view, but I was using the term in this sense, as it is the most recognizable modern term to describe serious economic positions of this kind: Neoliberalism is a political and economic philosophy that em

And keep in mind that The Economist is traditionally neoliberal. Yet they stay true to economics principles even when they are more lefty and collectively enforced :) Now imagine what else Pigovian Taxes can do to help solve collective acti

What exactly makes them regress? Why can’t they just fork swarms of themselves, work 24/7 in parallel, check work and keep advancing?

I gotta say, this is complicated enough that most people don’t do it, and there is a big business opportunity here. Resilio Sync (using bittorrent) kinda sucks for backing up to a USB hard drive that’s been connected. SynThing is what I use

Didn't Facebook promise the WhatsApp guys, or its users, that it will "never" show ads in that app, as a condition of buying it?

Is it a Bob Ross original though? And what if an AI watches it?

This. It is like roots of a tree for instance. The trunk by itself is actually much smaller than the branches — like the opposite of a pyramid. I guess most of the stress is distributed throughout the building frame going into the foundatio

How exactly did you feel afterwards? Could you list the different beat patterns (or link to an example) and the result? Especially power nap lol

I was talking about goofys because it is not POSIX compliant, so it's much faster than s3fs-fuse But either one can only work with s3. His library works with many other backends. Get it? I'm saying he should consider integrating w

Just to be clear, you are supporting a world where humans are powerless, few in number, and don’t interact much with each other anymore. As I’ve been saying for a decade, we are building a zoo for ourselves.

I didnt say extinct Horses and oxen aren’t extinct. Just nowhere near their peak where they had been before cars and tractors. They just won’t have as many children. It is already happening. People need each other less and less thanks to te

It seems to be related to what a lot of people want and is low hanging fruit now that he has this library!

Can you apply the same logic to, say, factory farm meat, or conflict diamonds?

You know what would be really awesome? Making a fuse-based drop-in replacement for mapping a folder to a bucket, like goofys. Maybe a node.js process can watch files for instance and backup, or even better it can back the folder and not act

This exact kind of oblivious response always appears like clockwork on HN underneath any criticism of AI. “It was always like this… AI does nothing new but…” I wonder if this is itself a form of AI generation LOL

The cost and externality are: 1) Lesser cost: people start to not want each other for anything, and therefore lose income of any kind, and are gradually bred out of existence like with horses and oxen in the 20th century 2) Greater cost: bo

Why don’t they just use facial and gait and heartbeat recognition everywhere? London and other cities already have CCTV cameras, and an AI can quickly figure out wherr you are. In China it has been deployed at scale!

They also used to monitor MAC addresses from various wifi access points, the MAC addresses of your computer don’t change. But now I think the vendors started fixing that.

As a related question, is there some way to buy or make plush toys that are robots underneath? I wanted to use a computer to train them and download the program onto the toy, or use wifi to send the telemetry and animate it. The toy would h

So what is it like? VBA? Hypercard? Most people just don’t have the skills or inclination to tinker even with ham radios or cars. On the other hand with the right to repair, you could call a repairman. And now — an agent or robot!!
