Maybe a sarcastic point, HN be damned: I heard Canadian government is also working on climate change, so they are apparently trying to make more land amenable to housing. (Although it's not clear whether the land gain won't be cou

That's why I am a fan of democracy, even in economic sphere (aka socialism or cooperatives). Giving everybody the same single vote (same power) about the organization (and making it into an unchangeable fact) removes lots of these ince

But humans can have a discussion about what is natural and what is not, and decide to mitigate it. The whole argument is based on the idea that the AI (either collectively or individually) can't even understand that, so the examples of

I agree it should have been called confabulation but it will be difficult to change. However, it might also not matter in the following sense. One thing that distinguishes humans is that we have a capacity to recognize whether the informati

I think Stephen Diehl's What I wish I knew about Haskell is an excellent overview. (Although no longer maintained, I wish he continued with Haskell and drop his worries about crypto.) Personally, I use ClassyPrelude and only a handful

Yeah, but if they want to break compatibility with Haskell (GHC).. I think that's a significant drag, and I am very skeptical of that. I think Haskell's extension mechanism has shown that language can improve significantly without

You mean like: Q: Oh, wise LLM, teach me how to use poisons to murder my wife! A: As an LLM, it's not ethical for me to suggest how to poison anybody. Poisons are dangerous to human body, which makes their use risky to anybody untraine

Is reading a crime novel harmful? Yet it discusses these things. It might even include characters who think that murder is OK!

I don't think people should have right to be forgotten, just like they shouldn't have the right to be killed by someone or right to be sold to slavery. I think people should rather own their mistakes, and should behave to be remem

The problem with ethics is that if you take almost any two different moral rules, there are always moral dilemmas where it is, for a large minority, unacceptable that we apply one rule over the other. So the moral rules of society as a whol

by js8 3y ago
No, of course you can. Markets are supposed to adapt to changes in demand (and increase supply if physically possible), regardless of the source or reason for the demand. Otherwise, you're then admitting that markets are extremely brit

by js8 3y ago
In other words, it's a market failure. Demand existed but the supply did not match it. According to neoclassical (and most other) economic theory, that shouldn't happen.

I am not biased, just snarky. (The killing and other setup for the rebuttal came from the parent post.) But I am also a socialist. I think the reverence for the capitalist class in the U.S. is unhealthy, and it permits lot of CEOs to be a-h

Indeed. Strike is kinda nicer, you're giving the company the option to reconsider their bad decisions, instead of killing them instantly.

"if they aren't getting paid what they think they should, then they leave that company and let it fail" That's what they did, it's called a "strike".

They are often tax havens, which attract rich people and by taxing them very lightly, they are able to support a small local population. So there is desire on the part of rich elites to keep them. They're like parasites in a global eco

I did, as a matter of fact, walk around NY and DC, around 15 years ago. Coincidentally, I have also been to (central) Florida. All of these were work trips, with a bit of vacation here and there. So yeah, I get your point, in DC and NY peop

I thought about your comment quite a lot. I don't think whether something is conscious act or not has nothing to do with causality. Steve Keen actually did some simulations according to which oligopolies can form without firms even kno

Honestly, I'd love to, it's on my list. I really like what Steve Keen is doing. But I am currently amusing myself with a math problem, and that's more important.
