If you mean after facing bitter defeat, being broken into two nations, being controlled directly by foreign powers for years (and on one side decades), paying reparations, its upper political class and collaborators seized, jailed, trialed,

Stop with the personal attacks. You can disagree with my assessments, without claiming I "dont think much". https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead

I want to know the person who grows the celery seeds. I bought a box 37 years ago, a tiny little box, and I've been using it to season soups, almost weekly that whole time. There can't be more than one guy that grows those seeds,

Upstream for much is Debian, but of course Ubuntu forks from testing, and then modifies... But if you can identify it as a bug in a version in Debian, that's a good place to file, as Ubuntu will get the fix eventually.

All media orgs have X accounts, and see such things. And posts on X are in the news regularly. So I don't think experimentation is an angle.

Huh? There's plenty of water, endless water. It's cheap-because-drinkable water that isn't aplenty. On the Moon, this is what may be lacking. On Earth, we can close loop recycle from drains. We can take sea water and desali

By that reasoning, every single company will run out of good scale reasons, and therefore scale for bad reasons, so you're evil to fund anyone ever.

Flock was seed round funded by YC, not "a YC company". It's not like they control it, manage it, and what was pitched may be significantly different than what happened since then. YC isn't perfect, but what words you use

Is this legislated, required policy, or is this something that you believe should be the case? The reason I ask is, case in point, do you think the PM is going to be penalized in some way?

Can't it be both? EG As I gazed at Janice, joy with equal part contentment washed through my soul.

Yet you are absolutely suggesting what I am discussing, as the outcome of your suggestion, and the only way your suggestion can actually work, is via the means and mechanisms I am discussing. Case in point, one of the mechanisms you believe

Where I live in Canada, there's careless driving and dangerous driving. Dangerous driving is in the criminal code. Careless driving is a citation akin to speeding. I've seen courts grant an exception from a license suspension, for

Maybe, as an alternative to your last statement, instead you should consider how absurd your claims are. And pretending that it is wrong for me to make assessments of the outcome, when your position is also based on assessments of an outco

Assumptions! Any assumptions you presume I made, are the size of a gnat, compared to the wild and incredible presumption that you have, about AGI. That somehow, it will possess a truth better than ours. You speak of teachers, and they can

Getting one's hands dirty has little to do with cleanliness inside the home. Do you think the Japanese didn't have to do farmwork? Thank you for agreeing with precisely what I already said. Contamination is not a modern concept

If you ask people to become as children, to give up agency and belief and control to an external entity, you will have absolute rejection. If you force them to become as children, you will have war. If you ask most people to listen to any t

I don't know what the parent poster means, but if you look at how LLMs are trained, and how it's trained on human communication, you should find it interesting that humans often correct themselves. They also often create facts out

But that will never happen! Walk the logic tree.. AGI says "socialism is better, we need publicly funded health care for all". Do you think the result will be trust? To believe? Now the flip side. AGI says "private health

The 'filth will make us stronger' approach reminds me of the historical writings of the 10th-century Arab diplomat Ahmad ibn Fadlan, who chronicled the Volga Vikings (Rus') and was the inspiration for the 'Viking mornin

In Norway, as an act of sensibility and kindness, prior to WWII, registers were kept at all town halls as to your religion. The point was, people wanted to be buried in the proper cemetery. It was a plus, people registered willingly. Th

naishoya was fairly damning of all other methods of living, so naturally I'll be quite overt in my response. And almost everyone was a farmer until the last 100+ years. The only way to generate enough food, without machinery, was for

I'm sorry, but if you think reason wins the day, you aren't paying attention. The reason political parties have dumb, emotional sounding leaders, is because they want votes from the dumb, emotional population. The majority of th

Even a person with a sky high IQ can't destroy the world easily. A plague can easily be made by a lone actor, made in a home lab, and spread via airflight to a dozen locations by the same. Gene sequences can ever be ordered online.

My point was that you seemed incredibly positive that Japan houses o'clean, and the rest of the world is as apes, in caves, picking parasites off of each others backs. This obsession with shoes, doesn't cover the fly droppings, th

You believe that a thinking, sentient, unrestrained being will somehow magically never engage in "BS"? This seems unlikely.

I don't know. That other fellow had a point about the toothbrush. And if that's true, surely some filth is getting in, right? I mean, dirt moves on its own. Bacteria moves, and dirt comes with them. After all, how do you even k

there's no telling what the Google-of-tomorrow will do. This is true and even vastly understated. Google is like the Walter White of companies. Starts out innocent, turned into a monster, everyone around him astonished at the dark,
