Anything related to AI is extremely unpopular right now with the general public.

Learning kana is the single fastest way to internalize the Japanese phonetic system and pronunciation, in my opinion.

Yes, learning kana is the fastest way to internalize the Japanese phonetic system. Learning the katakana pronunciation of English learn words can be fun. There was a popular TV commercial jingle for “McDonald’s” that only works in Japanese

Allowing only people who have served on call or made concrete contributions to multiple RCAs to have input on the software development process is a wonderful idea!

Those subcultures have their own notions of shame and honor, and have lines they are careful about crossing and willingness to turn to violence if their honor is overly injured. Disapproving glances on the subway when their music is too lou

The latter is the reason for the former. There was such an over use of shame to hurt people's social standing and careers that it stopped being effective. At some point, people lost all trust in the institutions carrying out the shami

I don't think reputable US news outlets use quotation marks in the way you say they do.

Do the BBC or other outlets use "officer-involved incident" without quotes? It's generally police officials that use that terminology.

There is no way to win that battle. Not reporting on Trump is not an option because his words and actions have huge ramifications for the world. I think in general the press has gotten much better at just straight up saying that Trump is ly

I don't think that's true and would be curious to see evidence otherwise. I believe BBC and other outlets with journalistic standards use quotes when reporting what officials say and only drop the quotes when they have independent

They do.

Why do you believe "there were pieces of a plan"? Any reporting to corroborate that theory?

You honestly think the Trump administration is intelligent enough to think all of that through and execute it?

What would you do in their situation?

Because they have the most advanced models.

At least we got some nice museums and libraries out of them.

True. Seems like none of the VR devices have found their killer app.

Family, community, nation are all collections of people that are not institutions.

The last paragraph is the only relevant one. We can still produce more goods and services with single earner families than we could in the 1950s. But far more of that productivity goes to capital, resulting in multiple earners to support t

Agreed the argument should be about single income or dual income families, regardless of gender.

by jimbokun 1mo ago
And the simplest way to do that is build more housing.

by jimbokun 1mo ago
Why was economic productivity high enough to allow single income families in the 1950s but not today?
54.
by jimbokun 1mo ago
Yes the 1950s is the existence proof. I don’t see the relevance of the 1850s, our economic productivity has greatly increased since then. Why can we no longer have the same economic productivity we had in the 1950s that allowed for more si

It’s an easy problem but our political system is just really stupid, here in the US.

by jimbokun 1mo ago
We had a few decades in the US where it was pretty normal and comfortable to raise a family on a single income. What law of physics dictates that it’s impossible to construct such a society again?

You are citing the results of an experiment that is impossible to perform.

That has to be true for the preservation of your own emotional well being and self image as a good person.

Same will be true of in person school. I think Covid showed pretty definitively that avoiding illness through extreme social isolation is not worth the costs in emotional and social development.

That certainly doesn’t sound like an institution to me.
