I feel your sincerity but I don't know why you're sure of that. I think it is pretty easy to construct situations where one course of action is better than another. For example helping more innocent people vs hardened people with

Imagine an article: "Our organization found a better light bulb" interpretation 1: (as in the quoted line) Oh, you think you're better than me, and you're criticizing my light bulb? Also you guys are super weird and I a

Yes. Other countries don't do this - you go directly from HS to a 6 year medical school. It not just saves time, but increases your useful career length by over 10%, probably more if we weigh age-effectiveness. Plus it would let many

In California Tesla is not allowed to roll-through stops at the present time. Source: I have a model Y and regularly use FSD on roads in CA with stop signs and observe it coming to a full stop.

I would rather let people who are experienced in low-cost manufacturing of cars, batteries, rocket engines, etc make decisions about what features they think would add complexity to themselves, rather than me deciding from the outside what

So you're saying that if anyone wants to interact with FSD & american drivers, you're requiring them to also solve this problem? How far would you go here, balancing this added feature to the benefit of making FSD release soon

The wikipedia page seems slightly one-sided, not mentioning recent high profile cases where people who intervened in public violence or threats of it were severely punished. The perception that this rate might be changing surely contribute

I love the european style of driving on the right, but blaming Tesla for not following it in California where doing the opposite is standard seems like going too far. I think Tesla reasonably is trying to match local conditions, and why sh

Depends on if they find the circumstances... suspicious. I am not sure how much surveillance they do - in reality for large lots this restriction may not hold, since trees can disappear at night, be chipped up, etc. But for people in the su

More generally, if our goal is to help a certain type of environment, let's do that. Let Musk buy up land a few miles away, convert it to more wetlands w/government help, permanently endow & protect it. The gov't could g

It would be a useful way to balance the costs vs benefits. If the gov't would put a price on it, I could violate the law here but compensate 100x as much elsewhere. My town has a law where if a tree is over 10" in diameter, there

For example, the current UAW strike seems very damaging. They're attacking the very nature of the auto companies and saying they don't even have the right to make money or try to profit, and demanding huge wage increases and furth

Ah thanks. My basic knowledge of the US was that most workplaces have a single union, and that in many cases membership is very high. IE police, teachers, doctors, lawyers, auto workers. But looking it up now it's not as clear. Yes the

By definition unions have local monopolies and can't be attacked. In a well-run truly free economy, corporations don't have that. my view of the power distributions and their results * company town, one company enslaving all

No. It's pretty predictable that schools of children of people qualifying for institutions which have an intellectual bar will have an advantage. The US military is surprisingly strict on filtering recruits for minimum thresholds of me

Think about how much you know about a random country, say Hungary. Probably only one composer, maybe one movie. But in Hungary there are millions of books, movies, etc most of which never left. Same for humans during migrations. Only a sma

I wonder if there are any requirements to joining the military, which could have an effect on who is allowed to go to the military school? Or do they just let anyone in?

AI is available to all and very consistent. If there were a universally known and evaluatable real-person judge which all teenagers could consult, I think that would be an issue too. Maybe one reason it's so significant for humanity i

Not just this. Gpt-V could violate social conventions massively. Imagine giving teenagers AI which would judge them and each other. "How old does this person look?" How about this couple, how do they match? How is this person&#x2

The China+NK+Russia tripoint is interesting. Russia controls a narrow strip of coastline leading over to it, which prevents China from reaching the Sea of Japan. There have been historical negotiations between Russia and China about leasi

Wasn't this obvious from the get go that this can't work? If AI will eventually generate say 10k by 10k images, I can resize to 2.001k by 1.999k or similar, and I just don't get how any subtle signal in the pixels can persist

Yes. As pointed out to me above, this was actually the result of a consultation; so they've already met and worked together to come to this conclusion - possibly the fine is a symbol of "we're serious and have the right to fi

Thanks, I appreciate you putting that together. So this could be a good result - the regulator confirming it has power to fine, and will be aggressive about it, and the company's signoff proves they agree and will implement fixes. We&
