I wouldn't say the latter is hypothetical, or at least unlikely. We know from experience that complex systems tend to behave in unexpected ways. In other words, the complex systems we build usually end up having surprising failure mode

But the parent was talking about energy and resource efficiency. You're bringing in new arguments without reacting to the original train of thought. This can go on forever. (And usually does, as with any loaded topic.) > The block

Well, it's not enough to be useful. It should be better to justify the extra energy consumption. Especially given the climate change. Also, you forget that we actually don't yet know (no one has estimated, as far as I'm aware

How many? I keep hearing this question as if asking it was a valid argument in itself. (Though, to be fair, you do underline that you don't know the answer.) Regarding your question: whatever they do, those humans will consume resource

I'm not positive on crypto in general, but they seem to have run of of their own money (capital) and not their customers' money. I.e. they didn't lose their customers' coins. Actually, it seems that they have never held

The economy of France is a device that generates the GDP. Erasing that device is not the same as taking away the (one year's worth of) product of that device. If you erase the economy of France then you erase a lot of companies doing b

Moderation is not easy, but it's not that hard either. Actually, it has already been figured out. It's partly what the legal system is about. We also know a few online forums that work just great (or, you could say well enough).

The assumption that automation creates (or at least does not destroy) jobs is an extrapolation from the past despite the fact that the nature of automation is constantly changing/evolving. Also, one thing that everyone seems to ignore

Probably not. People tend to think that tasks that make us think hard require general intelligence just because that's the tool we use to solve that problem. The AI doesn't have to be very good to be able to replace CRUD web app d

I agree, writing the code is usually just a fraction of the work but I've yet to see someone who is good at it, costs a quarter and doesn't care about the rest of the job. (Even without the costs quarter condition.)

I have similar feelings. Though I don't hate the scooters per se. I'm pretty upset with the idiots who leave them right in the middle of the side walks AND the companies that don't do anything about it. They could pretty easi

So what's the point then? You said it's not expenses and then you explain how you think it caused you extra trouble/work/development effort. But what's the reason?

I haven't been listening to JR since around (maybe before) he left YT, so know it comes as a surprise that his earlier episodes were also taken to Spotify (and off of YT). Makes sense, I just wasn't aware. I can see some of the nu

GP never said vaccines prevent the collapse, they said they help , i.e. reduce deaths and the pressure on the health care system. Unfortunately they can't reduce it enough to prevent an overload. Yes, elective (i.e. 'optional

I don't think it's about education specifically on vaccines on the immune system. I've never been interested in biology. Nor in elementary neither in high school. Actually I pretty much disliked the topic. It was boring, so t

Well, the response to your comment was right there in the second sentence you, for some reason, failed to quote: "The US is turning away so many talented individuals that could vastly add to the nation in many different ways."

As for me, people have learnt that they can't reach me most of the time instantly. You don't have to answer the phone calls either. You can say later that you didn't see it and your phone was muted (which is true). People get

What I was trying to convey is that I'm not sure at all that you'll need a programmer (i.e. someone who has the mindset and the skills of a person we call today as such) to talk to the AI. Because the AI may just be able to unders

I've silenced my phone 8 or 9 years ago and it's been like that since then. (With unmuting it very occasionally. Like a few times a year, maybe.) The notification frequency must have grown a lot since then. I have no idea how pe

You're probably right that it doesn't come from Catholicism, but it still can be based on it. I.e. be explained by it, used as a motivation for the said behaviour. Religions are quite malleable, Christianity (in general) is no

Well, they could measure the biological ages of people who die (or maybe who have terminal illness) and compare it to people who continue to live on. If they can get the price of the measurement low enough (which Sinclair claims to happen s

And back then also a lot of other factors were less than ideal. (Including lack of medication and medical science altogether.) The idea behind cold and hungry is not being that cold for that long and that hungry. Definitely not starving

Not exactly. Actually it's on the opposite side of the Earth relative to the Sun. So the 3 are always on one line but it has nothing to do with the position of the Moon. (Maybe you thought it was at the L2 of Earth-Moon system?)

Again, what does exactly the Exxon case 'prove' here? Also, how? Which act of theirs? (I'm pretty sure I miss a lot of details there and that might be the reason I have no idea what connection are you drawing here.) Also, no
