GDP was never an accurate measure of national production. It makes no distinction between the number of people its concentrated in. You can't really claim its national production if only one person controls it, as in some countries is

So do executives, and they continue to do so until they can no longer find the skilled labor needed for the company to function. I know more than a few IT people who have early retired to build a farm. They were consistently getting low-bal

There are a number of ways you can approach any problem. A lot depends on the area you are talking about but you haven't provided anything to narrow the scope. For example, Logic Mathematical Inference and a few other areas have formal

You are mistaken. An appeal to authority is any logical argument that relies significantly upon the authority of the person making that argument as support for that argument. It then becomes circular and flawed. If you were to replace the p

Not sure I'd classify Lenovo as a durable good in the strictest sense of the word. I know many who overpayed for a Lenovo laptop only to find, it was intentionally made incompatible with Linux (microcontrollers between core components)

With all due respect, you are barking up the wrong tree. Fundamentally, anything exposed to the stock market is no longer a real investment. Here is why, there are mechanics using options contracts to facilitate the market-maker manipulatin

OP, you may want to link to the actual article link instead of to a reddit post that links to a link. This is a recipe for failure, and few people will bother going through several links to just to see the article.

No such book actually exists. There's a french book that covers basic/common procedures and a reader's digest book but those are about it; and they definitely are not beginner oriented.

The problem is its just a convincing lying machine. These models can never be trusted for accuracy, and part of what they've learned is in manipulating the output towards human bias. If you ask it things that may destroy lives, people,

A forest for the trees article. Inflexible thought, rant, and no real practical alternative. Not really worth a read unless you like to hear people rant, when its clear they are missing the whole point and have misunderstood fundamentals.

This is the way... Its too bad some people just don't get it but I don't blame them. There's usually decades of indoctrination that need to be undone for critical thought in some areas. Its actually refreshing that there are

You might want to make that a bit more clear then. It seemed more like hyperbole, and I certainly didn't get that from what you said.

Unfortunately, this kind of requires that the government actually be functionally democratic. Its not really democratic if the people with money decide who gets on the ballots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opiiaLCBBok&amp

Yup, the problem with cascade failures is when it becomes obvious its often too late to do anything about it but watch. I've been talking about this for a long while now. It pretty much follows the AI economic doomsday scenario to a te

Honestly neither are that great. There are active demoralization and harassment campaigns, and the platform by design is a one to many communication platform. The people that run it decide what gets seen, and places like reddit that do not

That kind of conversation often lacks for how to deal with deceitful, ruthless, and generally harmful people. Not everyone is decent, and turning the other cheek doesn't work or communicate what it once did in this age of platform mega

A lot of times its software errors caused by powerline ingress from poor electrical isolation at the plug. If the wrong bits get flipped from EM interactions, only quick way to fix it is to reboot and reload.

I wish bloomberg would stop showing up in my feed. They always seem to have propagandist narratives that are so perceptually bent that only a man in a cave would fall for the flawed, irrational, and trite arguments they push.

This article's point of view is a contagion that lacks an understanding of the core threat to humanity and our collective future that these models actually pose. We don't even need to get into AI doomsdays predictions. Just look a
