There are things you know, things you don't know, and things you don't know you don't know. College is pretty good about the last category, but really if you went through syllabi, scanned through lecture notes, and paged thro

Licensing should appeal to programmers. It turns trust from an O(N) problem into an O(k) problem allowing for greater levels of interpersonal trust between strangers since there is a 3rd party guarantor of that trust who can provide consequ

As someone who has interviewed candidates for a FANG company in the distant past I can't say that degrees matter, but I can say that people I interviewed with degrees generally did better. There's a hidden bias in that this is onl

That aside, Elon has been shown to be someone who unapologetically has no integrity whatsoever. When lack of integrity is rewarded, society decays. If you want to be part of a culture people would choose to adopt, then lack of integrity mus

This distinction has been made with engine capacity (number of CCs) for scooters or motorcycles in many places including in the US. I think what you're most experiencing is a result of cars over 2 wheeled vehicles. Cities would be much

This type of thing is called spectacle . It is designed to titillate and distract people from real political action and prevent people who are easily fooled from applying their attention and effort to things that actually effect their live

That's a pretty interesting point in itself. If AI is training on Reddit posts, and people are using AI to post on Reddit, then AI is providing the data it is trained with.

AI regulation wouldn't change anything, it would just make bad actors with AI much more effective in achieving their goal. Instead it will be used to damage anonymity and trust based systems, for better or for worse.

I don't accept this at face value. I'm open to this line of reasoning, but can you prove it or provide evidence that there's something to it? I also think there is a counter point that now fast food laborers have more money t

I think the most common of human mistakes is to think that because something is easy to say, it is easy to do. Once you actually dig in to how to accomplish something you find the devil in the details and complexity in places you didn'

Do you have any examples to show why I shouldn't trust it in regards to political topics or history? You also really avoided the "what's better"/"what's a better model" question. Social consensus, con

Wikipedia has at least 15 million articles in languages other than English and around 7 million English articles. Are you asserting that it is standard that Americans are writing and moderating all of these articles in other languages?

OK, I can't argue with that. Timothy Snyder might make a similar correction, "markets can't be free, only people participating in the market can be free" is something he says frequently. If only people can have commitmen

I haven't. I would imagine Timothy Snyder is an avid fan of, if not a major historian of, Hannah Arendt and I probably got that through Snyder. I had actually not heard of her specifically yet. https://history.yale.edu/

You are crazy if you don't see the difference. It's not a difference in goal, it's a difference in level of power consolidation. They would already have enacted that law if they thought they had the power to do it, the fact

Reason and truth are the enemy of authoritarian regimes. They want you to believe that truth is subjective. Truth and reason provide alternative legitimacy to authority. If nothing is true, there is no basis on which to judge those in power

By the time that happens, everyone who understands what is happening will have already left because people like you want to wait until power is consolidated to such an extent that it can't be reasonably fought. That law was enacted af

Well, you couldn't be more factually wrong. That man is one of the top engineers of the 20th century and gave America nuclear submarines in 4 years and he's talking to non experts. Congress frequently asked him specifically about

America's nuclear legacy has Admiral Rickover all over it and my understanding is that he was very against privatized nuclear energy. Boeing's own operations and actions vindicate him in so many ways. If you want Nuclear, you ha
